We are a band of brothers and native to the soil
Fighting for the property we gained by honest toil
And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Southern rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star
I don’t see any comparison to Fort Sumpter.
None.
Exactly (re tin soldiers0. This ####### has obviously never been to Texas and has no idea what he’s advocating. Freaking moron.
There are lots of armed citizens who would be glad to help Abbott out.
The border patrol has shown it “vill follow zee orrrderrrrrs”. Screw them, and everyone like them. It is time to regain our Republic. SCOTUS is not a suicide pact.
I'm hoping that Eagle Pass, TX will be Obama's Armageddon.
Looks like Philadelphia needs a few bus load of third world tourist.
What states could do is to limit new house size to say no more than 1600 square feet (and 2500 square feet on parcels of more than an acre). This would curtail invader employment and hit remittances hard.
It could all be done in the name of ‘affordable housing’.
Posse Comitatus.
Remittances could also be taxed to fund K-12 education.
The writer’s home needs some diversity.
I thought it was the Texas State Guard at Eagle Pass, not the National Guard. Does the Philly paper want to pit the National Guard against Texas? Seems like they are the ones who want to raise tensions even more...
Biden will go down in history as the WORST, most destructive President in history.
He will be seen as the corrupt, demented, sexually perverted puppet he is.
Tin Soldiers, Will Bunch is an ASS!!!
At about 21,000 Texas has the largest membership of national guard of any other state. However, they are all native Texans. How many of them do you think will follow orders to bear arms against their own state and brethren?
Also, Texas has the Texas Rangers, DPS, Texas State Guard, Texas State militia, and about a dozen other militia groups whose ranks will certainly grow from those who would leave the National Guard If Biden were to pull such a stunt.
“Biden must federalize the Texas National Guard.”
All it would take to stop that crap? If Governor Abbott ask for help at the border? Trust me, there would be an instant citizen militia. There are already groups there doing exactly that. They have been in touch with DPS and the TX National Guard and the Texas Military Department.
We are about the see a gathering in at least 3 states. Not large numbers, but a presence.
"Will Bunch
I'm the national columnist — with some strong opinions about what's happening in America around social injustice, income inequality and the government"
An indication that the article can go in the trash.
If I may go so far as to say: people like this guy, who side with the invasion, are enemies of the United States.
The media is trying to cast this as a Texas Vs the Border Patrol. Nothing could be further from the truth it's 100 present BS.
This is the Biden Administration Vs Texas. The Border Patrol has no say on policy. The Border Patrol is under Customs and Border Protection which is under DHS.
The only administration that ever ask the Border Patrol their opinion on securing the border was Trump's.
He took their advice and delivered what they asked for and it wasn't removing border barriers.
Both BP management and the union are in total agreement, Biden sucks. Texas concurs.
It shows the damage done by having the feds fund the national guard. Neutering the state militias (like in the original plan) concentrated power in DC.
“The high-stakes game of Texas Hold ’em taking place on the banks of the Rio Grande between the tin soldiers of that state’s Republican Gov. Greg Abbott “
With “the tin soldiers of that state’s Republican Gov. Greg Abbott” you know the author of the opinion piece is a nut job.
Call up the militia if the national guard is nationalized. I also suspect there will be a mutiny within the ranks if Biden make s that decision.
