I heard soon to be Senator Cruz speak today and he told of how his father... at he age of 18... having been jailed in Cuba, beaten and having his teeth kicked out... sewn a $100.00 bill into his underwear and floated to the USA. He said that his father told him, “You must protect America. When I was in Cuba and fighting for freedom, no matter how bad things were... I always knew that I could be free in America. If we lose America, there is no other place to go”.

I for one am willing to die for this republic... I do not want to... even Washington hated War... but I will answer the call if Lady Liberty asks.

Of 880 terrorist attacks in North and South America last year — most in Mexico and Colombia

Open borders, amnesty and all the government freebies a terrorist could want. Welcome to AmeriKa.

There was a big order for bullet proof checkpoint booths a few months ago.

After 9/11 how many attacks did we have when an R was President?

Surely we would have heard it day in and day out

The story is full of stupidity.

All the cops have to do is hire the veterans who worked with IED’s while in service.

Result:

Expertise in the law enforcement, jobs for veterans who otherwise would be searching for a decent job other than greeters at WalMart.

Real IEDs are not a threat, so they are not the point of the exercise. The point is more police and intelligence community powers, less Civil Rights, bigger budgets. They are arguing like public service unions.

“We never have everything we want. We want more! Too much is not enough!”

“Why do you think that fdr interned the Japanese citizens living in America during WWII? Because they would not have been safe in any other place in America.”

Actually it was only done to the Japanese living in the Pacific coast states, excluding the territory of Hawaii.

And there is some evidence that the internment was done in order to capture several hundred spies without tipping our hand that we had identified them; their identities had been learned because we had broken the Japanese naval and diplomatic codes. If only the spies had been rounded up Japan could have figured out how we did it, and changed their codes.

Sadly, America has sold her national sovereignty for a nice landscape job.

Ditto. There are many, many of us who’ll have your back.

They bought a huge ranch in Tampaulitas right there on the East coast. I remember that thread and can find it eventually if anybody needs it.
