Gringolandia: Liberalandia

I have been trying to make this point for years: The vast majority of Americans who move to Mexico and form Gringolandians are political and religious liberals.??Just one example of this is the death threats and wishes I've received from them as a result of the stand I take on what is and what is not true a true expatriate.??I am mentioning this due to an article I read in Foxnews today: "Dems' Shocking Palin Death Wish". This is a story in which...??"A New Hampshire Democratic candidate has apologized for a Facebook post in which he wished Sarah Palin and the father of her grandchild, Levi Johnston, had been on the plane that crashed Tuesday, killing former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens."
IS THIS HOW ALL LIBERAL THINK?
I am also mentioning this because of a new mortal enemy I've acquired named, David. He is going about forums, "Gto_List" to be specific, sending me messages. The latest was his wanting to know if I will enable the comments feature of this blog so he can let me have it by refuting my "scurrilous" screed.

I wonder if he even understands the definition of the word:
1. Given to the use of vulgar, coarse, or abusive language; foul-mouthed.
2. Expressed in vulgar, coarse, and abusive language.
Well, David....I do not enable the comments on this blog because of people like you who use language like "scurrilous", and much stronger, in your overblown reactions to this blog's subject. I choose not to enable narcissistic behavior by some Gringolandians.

And, if you are like the rest of the liberal Gringolandians who move here, it is just a matter of time before your terminal narcissism takes over and the threats start to come.
If you want to take another look into the dizzy minds and fuzzy thnking of the majority of Gringolandians, check out this story: Escape From America.
And one final word for you David. Check out the title of this blog:
LIVING IN GUANAJUATO

Just my thoughts, my controversial opinions, my editorializing, and my strongly worded thoughts on my life and travels in Central Mexico!
If you don't like what I write, don't read it or get your own blog and write whatever you think is the truth about living in Central Mexico.



Dear Doug,

Thank you for mentioning me in your blog, I am honoured, but I feel compelled take you up on some of your ?controversial opinions? and ?editorializing?

I would like to start with your refusal to allow a comments area in your blogs. This would seem to indicate a lack of confidence in your writing and a fear of criticism that, for a professional writer as yourself, would normally be used to gauge reader response and act as a learning exercise. I would recommend that you reconsider your policy.

The use of the expression ?mortal enemy? seems strong when one considers I made a simple request. I doubt very much that you have any such enemies either here or in your country of origin although you have made spurious claims that you have had three death threats in the past. The word paranoia springs to mind.

Next is your selective use of definitions regarding my correctly used word ?scurrilous?. Return to your dictionaries and check again. This calls into question many of the ?facts? you are fond of using. With reference to the word ?narcissistic? we need not look any further than your self-referential writing.

Your are correct in assuming that I do not like what you write as you are doing a disservice to our host country, the US, all of the expats who live here and, ultimately, yourself. We do not hate you but rather feel pity.

My preference for this discussion would be for it to take place on your blog but as you refuse to open it to comments I have taken the action of addressing you in an open forum

I would like you to post this letter, unexpurgated, on your blog. I believe that another view needs to expressed.

All the best,
David Rogers
