Did illegals' boycott waken sleeping giant?
Valley Press . ^ | on Wednesday, May 3, 2006

Among the mostly fawning news coverage of Monday's "Great American Boycott" there was footage of a protester with a sign that said, "The sleeping giant is awake." Despite its oxymoronic syntax, the sign may have been far more prescient that the bearer realized. We don't believe the open-borders crowd can in any way be described as a sleeping giant. It's pretty vocal, whether it's gigantic or not, and it always gets tons of favorable media coverage.

No, the real sleeping giant is the American people. Sold down the river by both political parties and a federal government that steadfastly refuses to protect them, millions of Americans have had enough.

Can we just take a moment and be real here? Have you stopped to think how preposterous it is to come here from another country for a better life, find that better life complete with free health care and education, then make demands on this country? Think about it.

It's like breaking into someone's house at the dinner hour, sitting down at the table and complaining because the food's not tasty enough

Then the lady of the house took exception to the complaint, and shot the intruder in the head.

not only that, accuse you of not being a courteous host because you won't give in to his demands. Oh, and expect you to speak his language.

Amen.

I think the first shot won't be long in coming.

They got Tony Valdez going, but I don't know about a sleeping giant.

Traffic was terrific, there were no uninsured drivers on the road in numbers. The emergency wards were not packed for the first time.

They showed us the benefits of them leaving IMO.

GO HOME ILLEGALS!

I think most of the country tried to ignore the border problems. They knew they weren't too happy about it, but let someone else worry about it.

Thanks to the illegals' bitching parade, they did awake the sleeping giant. Most reasonable people think exactly what the article is saying. Their reaction is, "What is wrong with these people? Go complain to Mexico! We didn't cause your problem."

Maybe we should get a few million people into Mexico and march on THEIR capitol. Demand that they create jobs, social security, better schools, and health care for the illegals. Then see what happens.

Carrying all those mexican flags and flying my American Flag upside down, was a H*U*G*E mistake, IMO. People I know who've never expressed and opinion, pro or con, are outraged. They screwed the pooch on this one.

Let me make one thing crystal clear... the "12 Million" still know who feeds them. (In other words...they continue to know not to $H!T where they eat.) Also, WE are "still da Man!"

I've even had Liberals tell me they agree with me on this subject.

I tell them that a broken clock is right twice a day.

No, but Michelle Malkin suggests we all start responding to RNC letters asking for donations by sending them a "Bush Peso" or Cero Dinero that you can find at Michelle Malkin's Reconquista 101 post.

Saw some Soviet flags and lots of pics of Che in the crowds too, probably by those from the Marxist group that should be better named: C-ANSWER.

And our government could care less.
