It’s about time somebody did something about securing the border near Juarez. Richardson should step up, too.

Pretty soon he going to need to order helicopters to the border with the Obama States of America to stop the Marxist forces.

[Marty62]

Practice?

[Marty62]

Wonder what ZERO is going to do. Send TROOPS here to stop the Violence OR to stop PERRY?

[Max in Utah]

...OH-58 Kiowa and UH-72 Lakota helicopters...

Wonder if they're armed?

[Palladin]

Where is a man like General Pershing when we need one?

[Allegra]

Pretty soon he going to need to order helicopters to the border with the Obama States of America to stop the Marxist forces.

That's OK. We're probably the most well-armed state in the country. ;-)

[Kimmers]

My son is learning to fly CH-53’s......couldn't he and his well armed buddies make some practice runs?

[Marty62]

I would bet ...yes.

Don’t forget to vote in the poll

[oldenuff2no]

I was hoping they were attack choppers. I'm getting a lot tired of this game of border chicken. The next time our border is violated by any armed mexicans we need to fire up a mini gun and blow them back across in little pieces.
