A Libertarian Latino Nails the GOP's Latino Problem

I wonder what history that is going to be? Wild guess: Hillary 2016?

Cruising YouTube for old Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz videos, I came upon this one by Reason.tv featuring "Ask a Mexican" columnist Gustavo Arellano. Reason is a libertarian magazine that I've read from time to time. I rarely agree with its slant because I find libertarians to be Republicans with the same goals but different M.O.s.

This video is different. What's surprising is how Arellano's analysis -- that Latinos hate both parties, are more closely aligned with libertarian views, but in the end are left supporting Democratic candidates because, well, Republicans have made it plain that they're no friend to the Latino.

Enjoy. It's well worth the watching.

About the American Human

The American Human is written by Calvin Ross, a retired teacher who at various points in life has been a musician, woodworker, restaurateur, narrator, English teacher in Japan, novelist, technology journalist, and private tutor to Japanese children here in the U.S.

Happily residing in the wine country of Sonoma County north of San Francisco, Calvin has lived in the Philippines, the Netherlands, and the aforementioned Japan, as well as in Chicago, Colorado, Georgia, and many different towns in California, including, of all places, the Mojave Desert.

Calvin, you may note quickly, is a liberal progressive who doesn't think being called a socialist is all that bad, especially since he sort of would like living in Denmark if it weren't so cold. He blogs because he can.
