WASH TIMES: U.S. security officials are investigating a recent intelligence report that a group of 25 Chechen terrorists illegally entered the United States from Mexico... Members of the group, said to be wearing backpacks, secretly traveled to northern Mexico and crossed into a mountainous part of Arizona, Gertz to report in Pgae One Splash, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE...
yeah I guess some people have no idea what they are talking about sometimes....
practice what you preach......
How about this...you and Joe, just stop all right? It isnt helping anyone with the 2 of you going back and forth ok? We had this type of derisiveness in the Christopher Reeves thread, lets not repeat that ok?
Nathan Bedforf Forrest was no idiot and was indeed one of the most brilliant generals to ever draw breath. Forrest fought outnumbered and won against superbly equiped federal forces. He did more with fewer men than any general on either side as Robert E. Lee noted after the war.
The KKK of 1868 is not the KKK of today. In 1868 there was lawlessness in the South, white veterans could not vote, and black troops were out of control. The growth of underground societies was inevitable. As Jubal Early said in the wake of both elected Mississippi Senators being Black, "What a gentle institution slavery must have been to have so well prepared the Negro for the ballot box."
Forrest executed no troops at Fort Pillow and that reality lead to the dropping of any prosecution against him after the war. Forrest is the hero of my area and there are markers and monuments to him all over middle and west Tennessee.
The world is a conspiracy against the brave and thus we see your words against this great man among men.
".. I am not going to debate this with you..."
Because you can't. That is why you resorted to name calling to attack Freeper Nathan Bedford and got this thread off theme.
"...If he was so brilliant as a General, he wouldn't have lost...."
Your argument would then be that if we had good soldiers in Vietnam we would not have lost. Actually we had some great soldiers in Vietnam. Some of us know em.
"Your argument would then be that if we had good soldiers in Vietnam we would not have lost. Actually we had some great soldiers in Vietnam. Some of us know em."
Thats funny, BOTH of my parents were in Vietnam and I would NEVER EVER say that about any Vietnam soldier. Each war is a different case study. In Vietnam, had there been any political leadership with a backbone, it would not have been an issue, or a loss.
First of all, DO NOT ever put your assumptions of my arguments in your postings. Secondly, please remember that had the Confederacy had any political leadership in Richmond that wasnt going insane, i.e. Davis, you might have been able to pull Britain or France into the war BEFORE Gettysburg, were Lee, in an act of desperation, lost in a fight he didnt want or need to get into.
You said that the south was lawless and that "Black soldiers were out of control". That justifies forming the KKK? Wow I wish I could live in your world for a minute or two....must be a trip...
"...Wow I wish I could live in your world for a minute or two....must be a trip..."
Your muddled facts and thinking are a fantastic trip all on their own. I was being coy with not filling in details of the rampaging Black troops in northern Alabama but believe me lots of folks would have joined under those circumstances, even Yankees.
Would these be the same sheeple who voted in and keep voting in the pro-abortion politicians, and scream bloody murder when pro-life politicians try to limit abortions, let alone try to make it illegal? I'm trying to say you are being naive to what REALLY goes on in politics and that you underestimate what the democrats would do to politicians who try to secure our borders. To us, it's life and death(both cases), to them it's a rallying cry to get elected.
try repeating using complete sentences
Drudge is being snookered.
Remember, just a month ago, they were called CHECHEN REBELS.
All of a sudden, any CHECHEN's that cross our border are called TERRORISTS, with absolutely no proof or justification.
THINK ABOUT IT FOLKS.
Are you being used again?
What about an M249 SAW? M240G? H & K XM8? OICW?
We don't need to seal the border, just keep it to a minimum. Very few will come across the border if they know there is a good chance they will be caught and jailed.
US has a relatively large border length (~25,000 miles) compared to its population
Wrong. Compared to Israel we have over twice as many people per border mile and we have about five times the financial resources per mile.
After Israel built its security fence they saw about a 70% drop in suicide bombings and the fence isn't even finished yet.
Switzerland is surrounded by mountains, and for centuries, the only way to get to England was to let the wind push you there on a floating pile of wood. And they still couldn't keep out foreign spies and infiltrators.
Yes, oceans, mountains and deserts all tend to make it difficult to invade a country. Technology can make it easier. We can also use technology to make it harder because we are smarter than them and we are wealthier than them. England and Switzerland kept out enough invaders to keep their countries intact.
If we can keep out 99 percent of them, they will have to smuggle in 100 backpack nukes to destroy one city. They won't try it.
And if we can keep out 99 percent of them, they won't have enough people to infiltrate our local and state governments.
Are we back in illegal workers again? People keep claiming there's a terrorist threat from Mexico, but no one wants to stand up and defend the statement.
A poll of Mexicans showed that most of them believe that the southwestern US states belong to Mexico. Don't you think that's a threat if they come here and vote?
time to wear an extra hi-cap magazine on the gun belt...
"It's the F'n Democraps who start to scream racism whenever the issue of securing our borders comes up."
If that's the case, we have a BUNCH of democrats on FR.
"There are only so many invaders that a nation can assimilate before it becomes sick and dies. This has happened time and again throughout history when civilized people have become lazy and hedonistic and allowed foreigners in to do menial labor. "
Worth repeating. Thanks.
