If Bush doesn't do something about our southern border, he's a fool and a failure.

How can you convince the public to suck it up, spend money and have troops die in Iraq because we don't close it's borders with terrorists sponsors like Syria and Iran (while we treat Saudi Arabia like friends...even my idiot, left wing, Clinton loving mother brings up the Saudis while she's spewing the latest DNC talking points to me on the phone!).

I don't understand why we can't put 5,000 or so National Guard or real Army soldiers along our border with Mexico. Heck, I'm cranky enough to give shoot to kill orders.

This stuff is an act of war. But our elected leaders don't care about defending the country any longer. All they care about is getting their $100,000 for a Bee Museum named after them in their dinky hometown in some backwater city no one gives a hoot about.

I once thought Republicans had principles. I once thought the third party folks were crazy when they said, "the GOP and the Dems are no different" when I hear the crap coming from the Dems and some logic from the GOP. I no longer think they were crazy.

So now, when I hear someone tell me that not voting or voting a third party is a "waste of my vote", I finally disagree. If I vote, as is my right, it's never wasted.

And if working my tail off for almost 30 years to get more GOP candidates elected gets me Dem-lite (1980's) and Dem-PLUS (expanded bureaucracy and "entitlements" in 2000's), then what's the point?

Never again will I vote for anyone who expands government power, encourages dependency, refuses to enforce the 2nd Amendment, or refuses to defend our borders.

I will vote third party before I vote for a socialist in republican clothing.

I know they wouldn't do it, but in my ideal world, one of the 'vigilante' border groups arms themselves, invades mexico and frees the man from a mexican jail while issuing a press release: "You invade America, and kidnap someone, we invade you and take him back...even if the government won't."

In my dream world, the 'international incident' stirs up attention and a controversy that leads to the American government actually protecting its border.

First, our 'Hispanderer in Chief' would have all the Americans arrested, jailed and possibly executed.

Then he'd use the incident as an excuse to bend over and grab his ankles, again. He'd give amnesty to all the illegal aliens, completely erase our borders, give Mexico tons of money and make a public spectacle of kissing Vicente Fox's butt in front of the entire U.N. assembly.

This is the shape of things to come. Gun owners will be targeted with extreme prejudice in the New World Order.

Many Americans have come to this same conclusion. This outrage isn't mentioned on the network news, and Bush remains mute.

If armed kidnappings and incursions by foreign personnel are being sanctioned by our own government, we've got enemies on both sides of the border.

"I will vote third party before I vote for a socialist in republican clothing."

That is a decision I made when it became obvious that Presidente Bush would not protect our borders from illegal aliens.

I wonder where the Presidente Bush supporters are today?
