NOTE: this line is incorrect, McGauley's group, based out of Arlington, is modeled after the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (MCDC)"

Texas Minutemen is not modeled on MCDC, it is a continuance of the original Minuteman Project. All of the Texas Minutemen co-founders worked directly with Mr. Jim Gilchrist preparing and conducting The Minuteman Project before and during April, 2005. Texas Minutemen never has and currently does not have any association with Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (MCDC).

said Father Raymundo Chavez Vazquez, a Mexico native who oversees a largely Hispanic flock at Santa Teresa Catholic Church in Bryan. "We should be treated with dignity, love and compassion because we are all children of God. We are Christians."
I guess obeying the law isn't something Fr. Chavez supports? "This must be a tactic of intimidation," she said. "These men are bullies. I always tell the immigrants we will not be intimidated."
What logic. Mushy liberals, both of them.

Too bad I'm going to be out of town or I'd go and give this moron some grief.

The Minutemen (no matter what they might call themselves from state to state) have become nothing but a group out to bilk money out of their worshipers, get as much media attention as possible, and destroy the Republican Party.

Despite their claims, they do not want anything done about illegal immigration. It would cut off their gravy train if suddenly the issue went away.

"We should be treated with dignity, love and compassion because we are all children of God. We are Christians."

Hey Father Raymundo Chavez Vazquez, have you conveyed these thoughts to el Presidente Fox, perchance?

[TLI]

Shannon McGauley will speak at the Brazos County Republican Party headquarters Tuesday,

"This must be a tactic of intimidation," she said. "These men are bullies. "

This is about one step above a speech at the local Rotary Club. I suppose she thinks this is "bullying," umm, because she was not invited?

"We should be treated with dignity, love and compassion because we are all children of God. We are Christians."

Never seem to be bothered about breaking the "thou shall not steal" commandment are you pal?

[Anvilhead]

"Several local Hispanic leaders who were contacted by The Eagle on Friday said they did not know McGauley was coming to Bryan but were disappointed to hear so."

"This must be a tactic of intimidation," she said. "These men are bullies. I always tell the immigrants we will not be intimidated. They don't have the jurisdiction to be bullying anybody anywhere."


First, I'm no sociological anthropologist but how can you be intimidated by something you didn't know about?

Second, there is quite a bit of bulling and intimidation going on, and it's coming from your people lady, the Mexicans, not our people, the Americans.

I would offer a suggestion, cancel your travel plans and go to the meeting. The "moron" you think you are referring to is Chris Simcox, not Shannon McGauley. He runs MCDC which does exactly what you say, he collects money. NONE of which goes to The Minuteman Project or Texas Minutemen. The individual being invited to speak is Shannon McGauley of the Texas Minutemen. You can find out a bit more about Chris Simcox here

If you go to the meeting you can explain yourself face to face with Shannon.

Although some members have been known to carry firearms,

Carrying firearms should be a requirement.

Bryan, Ohio?

[TLI]

Bryan, Ohio?

mad, ya got me on that one. I don't know what you are asking.

[TLI]

Ohhhh, no, it's Bryan, College Station, TEXAS.

[demkicker]

Oh, brother, I'm sad you won't be there too. I'd gladly pay money to watch Shannon McGauley and Dan Garcia mop your b.s. up off the floor and wipe you down with it.

Thanks to them, our failed immigration policy FINALLY has legs. Go whine about their effectiveness somewhere in Mexico where you'll get more sympathy....

[TLI]

Well, no it is not a requirement at Texas Minutemen. However, we explain to the volunteers that it can be in their best interests to be prepared for unfriendly individuals that might attempt to injure/harm/attack a Border Watch Volunteer. Texas Minutemen Border Watch Operations are conducted directly on the border. In many instances that means some fairly remote locations. No 9-1-1, no Emergency Services, no cell phone service, communications is maintained by a radio net only.

"The Minutemen (no matter what they might call themselves from state to state) have become nothing but a group out to bilk money out of their worshipers, get as much media attention as possible, and destroy the Republican Party."

Read the GAO report to find the titles and occupations of the many "worshippers" that are bilking taxpayers on behalf of illegals. At least donations are voluntary.

"Despite their claims, they do not want anything done about illegal immigration. It would cut off their gravy train if suddenly the issue went away."

They must be doing something right. They have the leeches who won't let go of the taxpayers wallet squealing like the pigs they are. They're just worried about the subsidy gravy train going away.

If you go to the meeting you can explain yourself face to face with Shannon.

Keyboard cowboys don't like face to face meetings.

I have little concern for Shannon's safety from this issue. :-)

Enlisting in the military this weekend? I'm sure they could use you in Iraq.

[Marine Inspector]

Enlisting in the military this weekend?

I doubt he'd survive Air Force boot camp.

I hear the AF boot camp has weekends off.. ruff stuff.
