San Antonio Mayor Predicts: Texas Is Going ‘Purple’ Soon

San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro (D) on Sunday predicted that red state juggernaut Texas will soon go “purple” and then finally blue.

“In a couple of presidential cycles, you’ll be on election night, you’ll be announcing we’re calling the 38 electoral votes of Texas for the Democratic nominee for president,” Castro told CBS News’ Bob Schieffer on “Face the Nation.”

Castro continued,”It’s changing. It’s going to become a purple state and then a blue state, because of the demographics, because of the population growth of folks from outside of Texas, and because, unfortunately, the Republican Party has gone so far to the right that they’re losing the business community. They’re losing the middle.”

Castro delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in September and appeared on the show Sunday with his twin brother, newly-elected Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas).

Joaquin Castro agreed, though added that it’s “not going to happen on its own.”

“The demographics are changing, but it’s going to take a lot of work from Democrats to lay the infrastructure for change. So we’re very busy working on that now,” he said.

  Why are you Bumping this, Blaze?
  
  Americans want the Borders secure. Those at the Top of the Global Power structure DO NOT want the Border closed. This is why they have OFFICIALLY named our Borders the
  ‘LA PAZ International Zone of Cooperation’ (Check the AGENDA 21 MAP. You will see.)
  AGENDA 21 is a UNITED NATIONS Initiative.
  The International Monetary Fund and The World Bank CREATED the UN in 1945.
  The OWNERS of the IMF/WB/U.N. DO NOT want America to have Borders.
  They want a NORTH AMERICAN UNION exactly like the EUROPEAN UNION.
  Canada-Mexico-America as ONE of FOUR regions in the NEW WORLD ORDER.
  The International Bankster Cartel is RIPPING DOWN AMERICA WITH EVERYTHING IT HAS AT IT’S DISPOSAL.
  DIVIDED WE FALL. They are demoralizing Americans. Left vs. right divide.
  Hispanic and Black vs. White divide. and more.

  Castro was reared by an unwed mother deeply embedded in LaRaza (The Rebel), a very communistic group. Main speaker at Dem Convention said “We all belong to the government”. he is emulating Obama & is aiming to be the 1st Mex. prez. He just wrote his autobio book just came out.
  Now for San Antonio, it has had a majority of mexican population for over 50 yrs. so he is taking credit & shouldn’t. S.A & El Paso have property tax rates as high as New jersey due to the high # of mexs, so we have to pay their share.(never talked about in media, only that Tx doesn’t have state tax).
  castro just tried to cercomvent the school tax laws by trying to raise sales tax to pay for pre-kindergarten and he failed.
  It is possible to go blue b/c so many are moving here from blue states b/c those states are failing. It happened to Colorado.

  1871 – Even after the civil war, the North and South Hated each other, but we had to continue as one.
  Still under Emergency Powers, our Goverment created a Corporation to carry on Gov’t business. They trademarked the name ‘United States’ among others and began operating America from that Corporation.
  
  1913 – U.S. Corp was broke and had to turn to the world’s richest men for help. The Federal Reserve PRTIVATE Bank and the Federal Reserve Act was born. Income tax begins. A contract is agreed upon. (some say a 20 year contract)
  
  1933 – U.S. Corp declares Bankruptcy and under international U.C.C. Law has to surrender it’s ASSETS as Collateral to the PRIVATE BANK.
  GOLD, the GOV’T, LAND and PEOPLE are Pledged.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlCs7u1ihws
  
  1936 – Social Security Begins. This is simply a bond (evidence of debt) that belongs to the PRIVATE BANK. The needed a database of their collateral. That is why you became a number.
  
  1944 – The lien to the bankrupt U.S. is transfered to the IMF and World Bank at Bretton Woods.
  
  1945 – IMF and World Bank Create the U.N. and become the creditors of the U.S.
  
  1992 – America is sold to Investors, Foreign and Domestic.
  
  2000 – The year that the Global Elite wanted to have
  their NEW WORLD ORDER
  
  2013 – 13 years behind schedule because of Americans that “cling to their bibles and GUNS”
  
  We should have listened to this guy:

  Texas, like any state can turn. It’s not magical, it’s not rocket science. It’s a game of numbers. If the number of people on welfare grows great enough, and are encouraged to vote, then it will happen without a doubt.
  
  A very large percentage of people, I suspect greater than 50%; will always take the easy path if it’s available. If it’s not then they will work and perhaps gain pride in their accomplishments, but if Welfare is easy to get then eventually the forces of darkness will win by virtue of it’s ease.

  To all those fanatics residing in Texas:
  
  Go ahead and secede and you will get cut down by the federal government, many innocent people would die, you would be further demonized, your family would gone, and your state destroyed. You can only leave by violent secession and that would be the outcome. I really believe you have not thought this one fully out and, if you have, then you shouldn’t be owning a gun right now. I know people can only take so much before there’s blowback but violence is only what the government wants. Besides, those screaming for secession are all talk.
  
  Peace is the only way.

  btw there seems to be this false idea that if Texas falls then America is dead. There are patriots across the country like me who love our country and don’t look at Texas as this huge last beacon of freedom. It’s insulting at best and entirely inaccurate. There are other states that have pushed back against the federal government, perhaps more than Texas – such as Arizona and Wyoming – that love the Constitution of the USA.

  @13A You might be right. Bloodshed may be inevitable. Given human history, it is pretty much a foregone conclusion. But the whole idea that red and blue have any meaning is a fallacy. It is a falsehood to keep you feeling tribally angry and to keep you from focusing on the real problem. Our country is being taken over by the very institution we put in place to govern. It is out of control and is becoming fearless about it. I don’t fear what is coming, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY. Because, in the end, we will be free again, the way it was intended.

  I believe the last map I saw only had San Antonio, Austin and parts of Dallas as blue. I live in the Dallas Metroplex, and it ain’t all blue. Garland is pretty conservative. I agree with the comment, sorry, can’t remember who, about we just need to reform welfare, and deport ill eagles. I know a black woman on SSDI (disability) with her 4 kids, their 4 Obamaphones and she works VBS at two different churches during the summer….and if you’ve ever worked a VBS, it ain’t a cake walk. On my favorite thrift store, they have one day where everything of one color tag is 99 cents. You see Mexicans coming in and throwing everything with that color tag into their cart without even trying it on. You know they’re going to have a yard sale and sell it for twice as much…and they pay cash.

  @HILLARY
  
  The notion that conservatives do not like ‘non-whites’ (Mexicans) is false, especially here in Texas.
  
  Don’t confuse wanting to crack down on ‘illegal’ immigrants with wanting to stop ALL immigration.
  
  Securing the border and asking people to use the ‘front door’ is not a declaration of racism, rather it shows our dedication to the law.
  
  Those that shun the law on the grounds of ‘fairness’ are a danger to our republic.

  But one thing is certain, Texas will go blue. Like someone else said; it’s all a matter of numbers”. Those who,like you, want the gov’t to take care of them from crib to crypt will have their way. It will eventually lead to the decay of man as he can’t survive with that way of life. It’s unnatural. Even if you don’t believe in God and think were are all creatures of the earth, it will be proven true for you in that sense. Survival of the fittest will be the daily goal.

  Looks to me like he is running scared. San Antonio has be democrat way too long. One of their former mayors wanted them to pay $5 billion dollars so his buddies could get rid of their manufacturing waste; fluoride a by product from making of aluminum and fertilizer. He lost but because he did such a great job of trying to steal tax payer dollars they brought him to DC to try and steal again. He served time for fraud but then was able to get back into politics again. Democrats when they lose elections seem to either be appointed to another office in their organization (democrat party) or one of their media companies CBS, NBC, CNN, etc. But they never have to go back into private life to make their living. Clinton got his job of speaking to more democrat supporters for more money and power. Al did a good job for them on “global warming” making billions all the democrats condemn the very rich while working to be very rich. Soros to keep drilling out of America as he owns oil companies outside of America. Follow the money trail see politicians and their money comes from is where they vote. Talk about insider trading. . We have let the fox into the hen house (government). We are now paying the price with our economy and taxs dollars.

  “those screaming for secession are all talk. Peace is the only way.”
  
  Another Bloviation of BS. Generalizing people that want to secede and underestimating them.
  Peace is the only way? Tell that to all the people that had to FIGHT for their FREEDOM.
  You sound like one of those “Wolrd Peace” freaks. A pipedream. Not based on REALITY.
  
  “:There are other states that have pushed back against the federal government, perhaps more than Texas – such as Arizona and Wyoming – that love the Constitution of the USA.”
  
  Like I said, Other people would come to the aid of TEXAS once they see that the “government” is corrupt to the Core.
  
  Aside from those moronic statements (with the exception of the Alex Jones comment) you sound somewhat educated and sane.

To destroy this INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT, to befoul the unholy alliance between CORRUPT BUSINESS and CORRUPT POLITICS is the first task of the statesmanship of today.”

  It’s the Republicans fault – they spent the last 4 years trying to alienate everyone outside the Tea Party and the religious right. It’s their unforced errors and shift to the far right that is spelling their doom.
  
  You can’t have Micelle Bachmann and Rick Santorum being the face of your party and expect to capture the center. One is a complete moron and the other is so far right (and so sanctimonious with his religiosity) that they immediately alienate moderates.

  Ah, another patriot who has no regard for the Constitution. *cough*14th Amendment*cough* Anyhow, your little racist rant reminded me of something–did you ever hear of Operation *******? Back in the fifties “patriots” like you caught the whole “deport them all” fever, and started deporting “illegals”. The problem was, many of these illegals were not in fact illegal. Didn’t matter, though; they had brown skin, so they were ordered on the truck, and eventually taken by train deep into Mexico, after which American citizens who had been wrongly deported had to work their own way (often without anything but the clothes on their back) back to the states. A horrible injustice–and yet I bet one of your great regrets in life (other than your parents naming you Joe Bob) is that you didn’t get to take part in it.

And once it becomes Blue, Texas will go to **** just like it’s neighbor Mexico. Democrats don’t know how to govern, they just know how to spend and set people against each other.

  And when the demographics change to the point where blue rules everywhere, the left will laugh at what was once economic powerhouse of the nation, the hard working, self-reliant conservatives. Once gone, the economy will totally collapse and we can all laugh at each other as we drain down the tubes. Sure, you can try to take our prosperity and liberties now, but in the end you will also loose…loose your redistributed ill-gotten gains, and eventually your entitlements will totally dry up. Enjoy your laughter while you can liberals, it won’t last long because you can’t run a toilet, let alone a nation.

Hey Buddy, in your wet dreams. Comprendes ? As an American of Mexican ancestry this dope does not speak for me. I want to see this nation return to its original ideal of being a Republic as it was found by not my forefathers but by my POLITICAL FOREFATHERS.

  Thank you, I agree, wholeheartedly . . . I am an American of Irish-Mexican descent and there are a lot of us, whole and half-breeds, who hate the bigotry of low expectations! I still believe that the last election was stolen and that we need to take our media and country back, from these commie jerk offs!

  You’re not alone Berfie.
  There are more of us than people think.
  We are a Bolshevik Leftist’s worst nightmare.
  We’re conservative. We speak more than one language, Most of us are educated. Most of us are Catholic. And we see both sides of the culture. The leftist La Raza rats can label us traitors and Malinches all they want. It doesn’t work. We smell their *hit dropping and they know it.
  My family has at least 5 generation in Texas that I can PROVE. It’s MINE. Not theirs. Julian and his doppelganger are high on their own name and the election. Affirmative action gave us these evil leftist sob’s from the top down and the bottom up.

  It’s a tough sell mi amigo. Even when amnesty was granted by Reagan, Latinos still did not support Bush the elder in 1988. Outside of the Cubans, forget it. I remember when Ronnie granted amnesty, many people said that eventually, it would destroy the Republican Party and they were right. The Democrats promised to secure the border as part of the deal with Reagan, but never kept their word.

I can see that, if the huge Mexican population is shepherded into the corral of statism.

“It’s your only way of making it in this world!”

Of course, most Latinos don’t believe that. They brave shark infested waters just for a CHANCE at something better here….not so they can lounge around waiting for guvmint checks.

  Don’t know how many of you commenting live in Texas but let me tell you (I Do) that there are area’s of liberalism in Texas (Austin, San Antonio and some areas near Dallas – Notice big city anyone). However, most of the hispanic folks I know are VERY conservative and given a real conservative choice they would vote for him/her. Evidence? Ted Cruz. Kicked butt on the Lt. Governor, Tea Party values and brought in the real conservatives (regardless of color…GASP). Facts are folks the Dems are the ones that keep harping on color. Conservatives? DON’T CARE.

Good luck. Unless the Communists can take the state legislature in 2010 so they can redraw the congressional districts Texas is going to stay red outside San Antonio, Austin, Houston and the Rio Grand Vally. Even then there are a LOT of Hispanics who vote conservative. Don’t be counting your chickens Castro.

  Stopprintn is correct – mega cities in every state is what decides the electorate. You look at the county maps and they are all red – except the cities and the cities are rife with voter fraud which decides the state. The founders never meant for that to happen.

The dude is just repeating the standard parroted meme of the The Chicago radicals’ media propaganda today : ” the Republican Party has gone so far to the right.” The Truth today ?? The Democrat Party has gone Radical Left thanks to our Chicago radicals and their international Labour best buddies and their funds. The Democrat Party has gone so far to the left that they are no longer the American Democrat Party . They are now just a local franchise of the international Left Labour Party.

  SOYBOMB – I will never understand this argument. If Obama was so far to the left, like you claim, than anyone to the right of him should have been seen as moderate and should have won handily. Mitt was moderate compared to most Republicans, but he was not of the center.
  
  Don’t get me wrong – I hope you run more conservative candidates. Rand Paul, Michelle Bachmann, Paul Ryan, Ted Cruz – they don’t have a chance in hell of winning.

  Only about 48% of americans of voting age did not vote in the election. Therein is the solution. People like McCain and Romney will never get them. Put up a candidate who stands for something good and is not a hypocrite…..that would get alot of them.

He may be on to something here. Aren’t the Liberals fleeing the Blue States they created. Aren’t they fleeing to create a new Utopia. Once they get done turning Texas Blue, they will start fleeing to somewhere that they can avoid paying for what they created.

Require that all ballots (and all government communications) be in English only. Institute English literacy tests as a requirement to vote. Do these and Texas will remain Republican.

  Perhaps you’d like to reinstitute the poll tax as well. From the sounds of these self-described ‘conservatives’ here at the Blaze, that English literacy test might turn a lot of southern states blue in a hurry.

  Actually having to pay taxes to vote is not a bad idea at all. Maybe not paying a tax at the polls per se but I don’t think you should be able to vote (how to spend the money) if you don’t pay anything into the government in taxes. One great way to get spending and taxes under control is to make everyone pay something. Then everyone will be invested on controlling spending and taxes. As it is now only half the people have any interest in keeping spending under control

Because American taxpayers are such spineless jellyfish who will do nothing to stop us
and put up absolutely no resistance while we give away THEIR money LIKE A LOTTERY
to draw AS MANY ILLEGALS as possible into the USA to vote for us.

The joke is on YOU. Because YOU’RE the ones funding all of our effort to r@pe and plunder
your country WHILE YOU’RE WATCHING us do it.

Face it —— you’re screwed for life and there is NOTHING you can do to stop us.

  Very good point Texas is the next Colorado.
  
  Can the Country Club Republicans in Texas please identify themselves and go join the rich progressives.
  
  How many of you country club republicans have voted for a progressive because you could make some money from it? It happens all the time, I know because I have had country club republicans from Texas tell me that they have done it.
  
  Come up with a positive plane to deal realistically with the illegal aliens, like Perry did with school.
  
  Like they said in SERE school Insulate do not Isolate, embrace them, bring them into the Texas culture.
  
  Whites and Mexicans where all Texicans, as they used to be called, fighting for Texas Independence.

The only way they will achieve this would be through corruption, just like they have done in Fl.

This is no more than a conditioning for the citizens to accept it when it happens, and a poor attempt to minimize dis-belief, and shock to hide the lies.

  “Every single statewide office is Republican. Every. Single. One.”
  
  Um, no. That’s simply not true. And Castro is actually correct–I detailed the reasons why somewhat thoroughly soon after the election, but I’ll try to just give you the main points here:
  1) Texas has a large Hispanic population.
  2) Hispanics are increasingly moving away from the Republican party due to both the open and tacit racism that has wormed its way into the party.
  As the Hispanic population continues to grow, Texas will move further tot he Left. Don’t believe me–just ask Jeb Bush, who said, “”Four years from now, Texas is going to be a so-called blue state.” I think it will take longer than 4 years (crossing my fingers for 2020), but the trend is clear.

  Correct. San Antonio’s majority has been mexican for over 50 yrs. as is ElPaso’s, so this LaRaza (the rebel) wants credit. S.A. & ElPaso also have property tax rates as high as New jersey to make up for the money the mex. don’t pay. He just tried to bypass school laws by raising sales taxes to pay for pre-kinder & failed.(that grade can’t b incl. in school funds b/c it isn’t a grade)
  He is going for being the 1st Mex prez. & copying Obama, He just came out with his bio book, a nobody who was main speaker at dem convention, etc. who said “We all belong to the government”
