Even better, let's just cede authority to the UN and get it over with.

I remember that happening and my father who was a life long trade unionist remarking quietly 'Well, when you have a union you have to make it tough on the scabs.' And tough it was pacifist Caesar's boys beat the living daylights out of quite a few undocumented migrants to be.

Well, one down, four to go.

This welder is a hero, and may he never be apprehended.

Wal-Mart & Undocumented Immigrants In March 2005, Wal-Mart agreed to pay $11 million to settle federal allegations it used undocumented immigrants to clean its stores. [CNN Money, “Wal-Mart pays $11m over illegal labor”, 2005] Since 1997, federal authorities have uncovered the cases of at least 250 undocumented immigrants who were employed by janitor contracting services and hired by Wal-Mart in 21 states. Many of the janitors - from Mexico, Russia, Mongolia, Poland and a host of other nations - worked seven days or nights a week without overtime pay or injury compensation. Those who worked nights were often locked in the store until the morning. [CNN Money, “Wal-Mart pays $11m over illegal labor”, 2005]

Boycott Walmart. Topple them too. They do everything they can to crush the livelihood of family run businesses. In fact Boycott all of Bush's corporate handlers. I knew something stunk when $81 million dollar Donald Rumsfeld sat down with $130 million dollar John Edwards at the secretive rich man's Bilderbergers club a couple of years ago. As Pat Buchanan says the Republicans and the Democrats are the right and left wing of the same bird of prey feeding on America.

So because these towers were "federally licensed" this becomes a federal crime?

Hey, you're safe if it's the federal government. The Judicial committee just said federal laws can't be enforced.

[NRA2BFree]

Hey, Tom, looks like they silenced your stupid a$$ didn't they? Guess what you dirt bag, I'm glad they did!! Why don't you take ALL the illegals and go back to Mexico. It's obvious that you have NO LOYALTY TO AMERICA!!

[upchuck]

There's a few just butt ugly cell phone towers around town I'd like to cut down.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Damn straight!

;0)

I was expecting, given the title, that some guy they picked up in a Home Depot parking lot to do a little work on the tower had messed up.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

The Human Events take on it was satire, but the original article was not.

Yeah I heard that federal prisons are less "invasive" but still the only crimes that should be punished at the federal level should be treason.

I'm in the minority in believing that criminals who commit crimes across state borders should be tried and punished in each state in which they commit a crime rather than at the federal level.

Those who can prove they demolished radio towers prior to Jan. 1, 2007, will be able to pay a $500 fine and receive “temporary guest welder” status in our country. The fine means it is NOT an amnesty, and that should help sell it to the Weldo-phobic rubes that are not as smart as the proponents of full amnesty.

Right! Good April's Fool, AC. LOL!!!

[ZULU]

MUY BUENO!!!!!!!

[HiJinx]

The original article from yesterday speculated that it was townsfolk upset with the unsightly complex being built in their beautiful little burgh.

[MaineVoter2002]

Undocumented Welder? Illegal Welder? Or illegal alien welder? Was the welder not qualified to use a torch? Or was the welder not qualified to be in the USA?

I cant keep up with the pc term of the day.

[MaineVoter2002]

Ah, April Fools

[ASOC]

I just gotta say it

Looks like Froggy plucked that twanger

[Alberta's Child]

I guess I'm a little slow on this, since the article was posted on March 31st. LOL!

"It's disheartening to know that somebody would do damage like this to a federally licensed facility."

It's disheartening to know that somebody from a federally licensed facility would incite illegal aliens to march against the country that licensed the facility!

[CowboyJay]

"Station manager Tom Duran said he was not sure if the unauthorized toppling of the radio towers was related to this week’s massive marches by illegal aliens and their supporters, which were organized in large part by Spanishlanguage radio stations."

This one's at least #2 or #3 in the political playbook:

'When all else fails, play dumb'.

This Meathead knows exactly why his tower went bye-bye. It was being employed as an agent of commies and a foreign government. Some welder just doing the job our Senate won't do.
