Thank you for the ping FreeThinker NY.
Thank you for the ping AuntB.

AMEN!
” I know that Mexico is SUPPOSE to have a democratically elected government, but in actuality it is thoroughly corrupt and dysfunctional. Mexico is run by the drug cartels, and Tijuana is more of a combat zone than either Iraq or Afghanistan. “

Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
Obama is writing the sternly worded letter right now. That’ll show them.
Unless they are Black Panthers, Acorn Workers or SEIU Members.
Then all is forgiven.
“we will work tirelessly to bring their killers to justice,”
Yes, as soon as they get sanctions imposed on North Korea, or kill Israel...(in other words, they will do nothing.)
Prayers for those who fell. :(

Exactly. No action until the violence touches someone in a purple robe.
Only thing he’s outraged about is we’re screwing up his Alinsky tactics. The thing is, America is not Chicago, @zzhat.
He could care less about American citizens being murdered in Mexico.
why on earth would any american ever support a bill like that?
Thanks. Your comment made me look back at AuntB’s comment. We and our freedoms are being attacked on so many fronts it makes my head spin.
Not allowing the National Guard on the border??? Uuuufff!
just who the heck would vote for that?
No ‘American’ would.
He couldn't get the security clearance to get that job.
Correct. He couldn’t get a clearance for anything. Once a commie, always a commie. The democrats should be ashamed of themselves.
Probably all the usual suspects that will vote for 0bamacare.
... “stern” letter to follow....
I think that would take having morals. From my life experience, having lost a friend of a couple of decades, that's the difference.
