Read carefully as I did not use the word ‘you’ . It was a general observation not an accusation. Therefore no ad hominem occurred. Sorry for the mix up.

Sure it did. Here's the relevant excerpt from your reply:

...to discount the POSSIBILITY of the invaders using it as well, is foolish and naive.

You obviously qualified me as being "foolish and naive", given the fact that I had just "discounted the possibility" in my prior post.

You're now adding insult to injury by assuming I'm too ignorant to notice what you did there.

Now, do you want to start over and rebut the reasoning in my prior post, or will you forfeit the argument by continuing this playground fight?

You certainly seem overly sensitive - give it a rest please.

If I wanted to insult you, you would have no difficulty discerning it.

Heh... These kinds of exchanges are always entertaining.

You get cold busted resorting to a covert ad hominem attack, but the guy who busted you is being sensitive for calling you on it.

Hilarious. And cowardly.

You could have just admitted that you couldn't come up with a well reasoned rebuttal to my earlier challenge, or walked away. I wouldn't have chased you down or harassed you about it at all.

But, in reality, those of us here should remain calm and in control.

**************

The best way to be in control is to do everything you can to be ready for whatever may come. Plan your work and work your plan. Define your strategy, establish your command & control, position your assets, and always factor in the potential for unexpected contingencies. All this takes precious time.

I never heard any successful leader say that preparing is being hysterical. Not one.

Starboard, always with the negative waves

****************

No, its not negativitiy at all. You are confusing negativity with reality my friend. Forseeing potential problems is a basic part of planning for any endeavor. Those who have their head in the sand are begging for defeat.

What is hysterical are all the demands for mass killings. It won’t come to that but this makes FR look like a refuge for nutcases.

I have never said preparations should not be made and can see that they are.

There have been a few extreme comments, I agree with you on that point.

However, its worth noting that its the Left that desperatly wants to see violence so they can exploit the optics. That is the cornerstone of this entire spectacle, in much the same way that they push the police to overreact in their domestic “disturbances”. They are instigators and agent provocateurs who want violence.

With respect to making preparations, the organizers of the caravan are accelerating their efforts to move people north. FYI...

Of course the Left is hoping for violence and bloodshed but the willingness to give it what it hopes for by people here is dismaying. And they sound like lunatics.

Since it would have to double it’s daily pace to 45 mpd to get here within a month I would think they would be trying to step up the pace. Even with trucks and buses it would still be weeks after the elections till it arrives.

And the problem of providing supplies still is there.

Not just the countries. Can’t we do anything about Soros? He took $18B of his personal fortune and gifted it to one of his political foundations, which certainly should not be a tax exempt foundation, so it can keep corrupting after he joins the rest of the old Nazi fanboys in hell. Where’s the gift tax? Where’s the avoidance of what’s, not soon enough, to be his estate tax? Or is all of his wealth outside our jurisdiction, but allowed to be used against our jurisdiction.

Just throw the weak ones, or a 8-10’ x 12” board on it and run across either the bodies, canvas or wood.

250ft of Constantine wire (razor wire) cost $100 on Amazon....that means you can run 15 lengths (think pyramid configuration) the full distance of the southern border for $60M. Use the military and NG to place it. Go!

We need to keep turning up the heat until they reverse course.

We will know how it blows in the morning. Trump will do nothing more until we know if the people chose suicide or freedom.

Sounds like a robust operation, helicopters with night vision, UAVs, armed soldiers to “back up” security forces...

All for nothing, anyone can go to the border and use their phone to film them crossing illegally.

As long as nothing happens after they cross, they will keep coming.
