These idiots don't realize that raising a racket is going to frighten the
very illegals they so much want to cross. This is the biggest favor they
could do the Minutemen, particularly if they do it in an area where the
Minutemen aren't operating. They'll discourage the illegal crossers in
that area just as the presence of the Minutemen would.



Your post made me think of the underground railroad that took so many of the slaves to safety, before the Civil War.

Also of the efforts in WW2 to rescue the Jewish and Americans in the war zones, to help them reach safety.

The only problem for these commie fools, is that they did not learn our history in school and are following the scenes from a Hollywood movie.

From my reading back in the days of reading books, it seemed that the person being rescued simply faded into the surrounding area.

They did not march down main street, banging on a pot.

These fools are dangerous, as they are lacking common sense.

(again -LOL- this is my opinion).

thanks for that very interesting and informative response. i agree with you.. and have studied this for 20+ years. and i am wondering if a lot of the socialist/communist infiltration problems in our fed gvt isn't rooted in some of these fed agencies that are not elected positions. the socialists like BClinton appoint appoint appoint.... and these people have alot of power and infulence, even during a conservative administration. although i'm starting to really wonder at the agenda of even the current one.. the more i learn the more cynical i become.. LOL

You are very correct in what you say above.

Google will turn up a list of 53 'Socialist Democrats' we
have elected to congress and I once found a web page on a
Congressman's .gov website for the branch of the Socialist
Democrats that he belongs too. (sorry, I forget names).

Using google play around with the different ways to ask who
the elected socialist/communists are in government.

It was an eye opener.

I have in my digging, found a communist party, called the
'New Party', that bragged on how many local offices they had
filled with members, they suggest starting with the dog catcher and working up to the President.

I have found where the communist party called for a new name, due to the fact that communist was a tainted word.

I found after the last election, a group of communists, who
were discussing changing the name again, as the word Socialist now means communist to most people.

What upsets me, is that these hard communist groups, are based in our universities.

I had high hopes for Bush, when he took Powell out of the
State dept and changed CIA leaders, he has tried to weed out some of them. Now to get rid of the rest of them.

If he really cleans house, then the ones he can't touch, as the congressmen and women, will kill him on anything he tries to do.

... my friend said that he was probably scared by the protesters who were really violent and angry.

The guy who was arrested for supposedly running over a couple of protesters was released and will not be charge after the police determined that no one was hurt and that the protesters had actually attacked the car. By the way the protesters were throwing soda cans filled with marbles at the people who were attending the lecture. So, I guess the claim is true, the Minute Men do promote violence. Strange thing though, the violence they promote is always against themselves.

I have heard that while still patrolling the border in Arizona several of the Minute Men were pushed by ACLU people who were trying to provoke a violent response.

This is an old tactic of the left. I attended a rally to kick off Ronald Reagan's re-election campaign. Some demonstrators were trying to provoke a reaction by screaming things about Reagan. Eventually, a huge guy, over 6ft tall and close to 300 lbs got a Reagan supported all riled up. Funny thing is the Reagan supporter was about 5'2". My friend, a girl, actually stepped between the two combatants and told the Reagan support to sit down. She probably prevented a riot that day.

I think Hal ought to sue the Garden Grove Police Dept for not protecting him.

Hey SB, thanks for the reminder...

I really should post on my "Moving" vanity that we are settling in to our home (yeaaaay!), about to make our first mortage payment (booo), and discovering the never ending list of maintenance chores that come with a large yard, a pool, and home (BOOOOOOOO).

I appreciate you thinking of me. Take care neighbor, BTW, you are in Plano, right?

You may enjoy this. Below is one "progressive's" plan for August at the So Cal border. I'm getting entertaining visions of Ward Churchill leading a rousing chorus of Kumbaya.

source: http://deletetheborder.org/?q=getinvolved#comment

re... Early August will probably be one of the hottest times of the entire year, so we'll need to bring truckloads of water... As for content of the event, I definitely think we should have concerts and/or dissident speakers. We should also have a information stand in case we run into any immigrants, to let them know where there are job opportunities and how to survive in America, as well as tell them what their rights are and who to contact if anyone fucks with them...so they don’t end up as slaves, like these people (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/picture_gallery/05/americas_florida_tomato_picker/html/1.stm )

re We should try to get some big names to give speeches, maybe Noam Chomsky, Ward Churchill, Howard Zinn, etc. I also think we should focus on the issue of racist immigration policies within the context of capitalist globalization, as both issues are very much connected. - http://www.humanitarian.tk By humanitarian at Sat, 2005-05-21 02:54 | login or register to post comments

Really, a virtual demonstration is a joke.

It appears the "activists" think so as well

(comments at bottom of page:

Thats about as dumb as the communal hunger strikes where people sit in shifts and promise not to eat for a whole 4 hours, then say how the strikes been going on for a month.
Loquacious

Questionable
I think that focusing too much on virtual activism (this seems like an oxymoron) might actually undermine serious efforts that happen in the physical world to improve our living conditions. It is questionable, to say the least, to think that taking down a web site for a couple of hours will bring about a positive social change (like stopping this bloody military machine, for example). We can use the Internet to spread information, but let's not fool ourselves to think that "virtual activism" can somehow replace real activism. I do think "virtual activism" has a few qualities though; it makes its participants feel like they are doing something without risking their own sense of comfort.
Mr. P

Hmmm...
I think you should think about what the goals of a "real protest" are. Is it to spread information? Can marches and rallys really stop a war? In the past Electronic Disturbance Theatre's actions have been on the front page of the New York Times and have created a response from the Pentagon. How often is a "real protest" that effective in getting the word out and forcing the machine to respond?

This is seriously one of the lamest things I've ever seen. I think it's really telling that the right wing nut jobs can get people to go sit out on the border all night long, and the counter on the left to that is a frigin "virtual" sit in.
