Thanks for the 'Ping', HiJinx. This is great news!

The border has to be closed. Bill O'Reilly has been saying this quite effectively and he mentioned poll number that the great majority of Americans agree. Only the politicians are reluctant and of course the terrorists/the hate American groups/drug dealers and perverts are livid when this topic comes up

Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!

Be Ever Vigilant!

Minutemen Patriots ~ Bump!

[Travis McGee]

Got it. Thanks.

Don't mess with Texas...Minutemen.

Amen - the border needs to be closed - with Texas having a thousand miles of open border, I fear we will need thousands of Minutemen to even make an impact.

Centurion posted this on the now closed duplicate thread:

[From the article:]But Simcox says there are serious logistical problems for patrols in Texas. Most of the land along the Texas border is privately owned,

I sure as hell would.

Me too. I'd bake them a cake...from scratch.

I will absolutely guarantee that sheer number of the counter-protestors will shock some freepers if the Minutemen do come to Texas. There are many here who simply have no clue.

The good news is that the MM will have to leave their guns behind, when they come to Texas. Open carry is illegal here and concealed carry is by permit only. I'll feel a lot better knowing that I'm armed and they aren't. If they come, I'll be one of many in the counter protest.

MM...Mainstream Media? ;-)

Several years ago, a group of us spent a long weekend on a ranch near Eagle Pass. While there, we visited Piedras Negras. We felt safe on our side during the day but it was a different story at night.

If we hadn't been javelina hunting, I'm not sure we would have made it out alive. Both Friday and Saturday night you could watch the illegals cross the border with no one to challenge them. Both nights they came up to the little house we were all staying in, evidently wanting access to stay themselves. When they saw us there, especially the few females, they pulled out guns and shot at the house. Since we had been javelina hunting, we also were armed and we returned fire. Evidently word got out because we weren't bothered for the rest of our stay (through Wednesday). Calling the local police or the Border Patrol did absolutely nothing, not even a drive by.

I say, more power to the Minutemen. Just be very careful and document, document, document everything.

You have a point there. That all depends on the length of the project. After all, that is during the dove season and if it continues into the deer season,..... well you just can't trust every deer hunter when he or she has a 30.06 or 270 magnum in their hands.

[HiJinx]

Oh, wow.

Y'all were lucky...

Javelina? Is there a good way to cook 'em that the meat doesn't taste just raunchy?

[Sally'sConcerns]

We slow cooked them all day over mesquite we found on the ranch. I normally don't like gamey food but that was some great eating!

"That area of Texas is like a war zone I'm told. The big drug cartel considers it THEIR'S"

That's what worries me, I hope the MMP don't get into a situation where these animals come looking for them.

"...I'll feel a lot better knowing I'm armed and they aren't. If they come I'll be one of the many in the counter protests."

I am not sure I understand your statement. Could you please elaborate.

[HiJinx]

I'll feel a lot better knowing that I'm armed and they aren't.

That's an odd statement to make. Sounds almost threatening. Do you have any (truthful) knowledge of what the Minutemen did in Arizona, who they were, how they conducted themselves, where they performed their operations, how many were actually armed, whether or not anyone used a firearm, how many illegals were deterred from crossing the border, how many times the Minutemen were confronted by Mexican officials, how many instances of illegal activity were observed and reported by the ACLU?

Do you know who the original Minutemen were? Do you even have a clue?

Or do you just enjoy threatening American Patriots?
