Border Militia: We'll Shut Down the Border with Machine Guns

TNL ^ | 04/09/2005 | The National Ledger

[Rabin]

Reporter Nancy Perla that toured the group's compound...(camp).
Older model American made SUV's, are "armored vehicles" with "quarter-inch steel in them." (u-hu), "You'll get killed without them...(u-hu, sure).

"When this Minuteman thing is over... close the border with machine guns." (machine mouth)

...a concrete block wall riddled with bullet holes .... came from drug smugglers???

Reporter Nancy, pretty pathetic.

[Spiff]

This guy is a serious threat to a worthy effort. From what I have seen and heard, he does not represent what the Minuteman movement stands for.

He has nothing to do with the Minuteman Project. His wild rhetoric is all bluff and bluster and it will hurt the Minuteman Project. I wish he's just shut up. Heck, I wish he just go away.

[ARCADIA]

a guest worker program where people are documented would work better than building a new 2,000 mile Berlin wall.

The Berlin Wall was designed to keep people in. It is legitimate to have a wall to keep the invading hordes out. You should have the intellectual honesty to make that distinction.

[Dave Olson]

Like I said if he was true to his rhetoric he would get a sledgehammer and demolish his basement to get out all the vestiges of the impure labor that remodeled it.

What possible good would that do? If he did that, you can damn well be sure that his critics would deliberately use that as evidence of his "hatred of Mexicans". It would be untrue, that won't matter.

Reporter Nancy, pretty pathetic.

Next, I hope you'll comment on the quotes from the minuteman guy she interviewed.

Why is it OK to attack Dane for his supposed "alliances" when you seem to beg for a pass every time someone uncovers something negative about the minutement or an allied group?

Because you define groups to be 'allied' at the drop of a hat and with no justification.

[ozarkgirl]

It's the same don't ask, don't tell policy you've adopted for the minutemen. That's a load if I ever saw one, the minutemen were carefully selected to make sure they didn't have that agenda as evidenced by their behavior these past couple weeks. I bet it really irks you they have been so peaceable and lawabiding. Man, that's really got to rub you the wrong way, I laugh at your pain.

[Mudboy Slim]

"...why don't we adopt the minuteman membership policy for immigrants coming into this country. We'll let anyone in, BUT, if they are found to be here illegally they'll be asked to leave?"

We cannot afford to let anyone in...if they are here ILLEGALLY, they need to be expelled, fined, and perhapos even incarcerated. You speak as if we need to provide some sort of amnesty, when what we need to do is enforce present laws.

And loser scumbags like Vicente Fox need to start doing what is necessary to promote a Mexican economy worth staying home for.

FReegards...MUD

Next, I hope you'll comment on the quotes from the minuteman guy she interviewed.

Yes, lets talk about the comments of the Minuteman guy who opposes violence. I think he said "I think anytime you go to that length to take the law into your own hands, you're asking for trouble."

IF THE GOVERNMENT WON'T PROTECT OUR BOARDERS, IT IS LEFT UP TO THE CITIZENS!!!

>:( Why is the government failing us? It is their primary job to protect us from enemys without.

[Spiff]

Yeah, this moron would actually know who was doing the work in my house.

Really. So you go to a company that does house remodeling or home theater installations. They have a nice website and showroom. You check out their work and see it is good. You look over the contract and the quote and sign it. You head back to Washington, DC and can't wait to return to see your family's nice, new home theater. The kids are going to love it. At what point in the process do you check out the immigration status of the workers that may be assigned by the contractor to do the work on the house? I'm sure that you would hope that the contractor, who holds a contractor's license, would obey all relevant laws. The blame lies with the contractor and the people who give out the licenses. Again, if it had been reported that Tancredo stormed into the basement upon seeing a hispanic-looking fellow and demanded to see his immigration paperwork you'd be having fun calling Tancredo a "racist" or some other crap. Admit it.

Imagine that! And I thought they (the militia) said they were just going to inform the Boarder Patrol about illegal entrants.

No actual militia has been quoted on the media until this. What you seem to have been unable to glean from previous stories of the MinuteMan project, with your keen eye for detail, is the complete lack of connection between the MinuteMan project and any militia.

a secondary thought: if the media insists on calling the citizens group involved with the MinuteMan project a militia, does that add credibility to the 2nd amendment applying to all citizens, thereby tripping up some liberal arguments against it?

Supporting Bush is proof-positive that CBB is a Nazi!

Clinton Be Bad is a Nazi?

I taught I taught youse kids bettern that...

Commie ---Si.
Nazi---Nyet.

ybbb

[Lazamataz]

This guy's somethin' else. He's lying, changing subjects, associating unassociated groups,.... just in general behaving just like Bill Clinton.

[harrowup]

This guy who?

[Spiff]

Paranoia runs deep into your mind it will creep. BTW, I'm not on the ACLU's side either.

It isn't paranoia. You, ClintonBeGone, and Ficklin have all been tag-teaming the MMP threads with your lies and you've all done it with the help of harrowup who is an admited ACLU Democrat on a "jihad" to "beat up" on Republicans and conservatives.

[Lazamataz]

Clinton Be Gone.

[Americanexpat]

Find a spine.

I got a spine and this guy is a friggin nut case.

[airborne]

I have to suspect that the anti- Minuteman crowd will try to infiltrate the movement and attempt to disrupt it, but this guy seems like a lone kook.
