My Wife does volunteer work for an Elementary school in the a city in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. She is on site counsels and committees. She knows all the students, and in fact many if not most, know, and love her. The Principal and school officials are always calling her, and taking advantage of her social conscious and intelligence, and her excellence with children. I have a child who attends that school.
Today I receive a phone call from my wife. The cell is ringing, I think it's work related. A quick look at the incoming id, it’s my wife.
“You know what”, she says - she was going by the elementary school. A crowd of over 50 teenagers, on the school grounds where children will need to congregate, waving Mexican flags. I listen carefully to her words. She was on her way to an errand when she saw them on the campus. She tells me, how she knows the children of the school, and how these teenagers - she doesn’t recognize them. She tells me these teenagers, “don’t attend the school - at least, I don’t recognize any of them”. She would know.
My wife’s voice is not shaking. She is very strong, in so many ways.
And then I am told what she did.
She stopped the car, and went to them. She was just on the grass crossing. She told them, “Hey - who are you? What are you doing here?” - she did not tell me their reaction. I did not need to ask, because I know that they gave crap, and crap looks. She calls on the cell phone to the principal, but the principal was already on the way out to take in the scene. “Hey - if you guys want to become American citizens, then why are you waving American flags!” she says right at them so all can hear.
My wife is very brave. I thought in my mind, how much I respect and love her.
She was not mean, not rude. She is right on the money with her words.
I do not need to tell you everything that happened then. I will let you know, some didn’t even know what she said, I don’t think they understood the English. And some others, they spit out towards her. The spit missed.
I want you to know how proud I am of my wife.
Other school officials, I am surprised to say, probably because they respect her so much, are now telling these teenagers they do not belong here and must leave. My wife goes on to her errand, but the school told her they will follow up with her and let her know what the police did once they arrive.
I have something to say. It is what tens, hundreds, of thousands are saying. I say this is the fault of George Bush. I would not spit on him, but thinking of my wife, I certainly enjoying thinking of spitting on George “W’s” stupid face. Six years this idiot wasted our precious time on this critical and historic remaking of our nation, this threat. Those were six precious years. Wasted. All he ever could tell me about is his stupid guest workers program, and he's still forcing the great betrayal. I will always remember the Bushies - I think of them as my enemy now. I am not alone. The Republican Party has been damaged by these idiots. Now we will see if we can either take the party, or make new history. Certainly history is going to be made, but likely Bush is becoming such a lame duck it won't be the Bushies who are going to do it. Even if the illegals win, it won't be because of the Bushies who are part of pushing this Bush agenda, this corporate agenda - because, they are losing so much that they have little, no, respect among way too many now to effect anything. So all they can do is snipe and act as if Bush is even listening to them anyway, which he is not.
The Bushies say how dare any of us tell it like it is, that Bush sucks. But they can’t stop us, because there are too many on our side, and not on their side. Bush is losing power, each day he bumbles another mistake, politically tone deaf like the Bushies who follow him, another outrage, another idiocy. In fact, we don’t have to really do anything, Bush and the Bushies are all doing it to themselves. When someone says the truth about how Bush sucks, all they can do is snipe little insults, they image that they even count for something politically. They count for very little, and soon they will count for nothing. With each antic, my side wins, and becomes bigger. Just watch.
I am glad when I hear their reaction, not just because it is so expected, it helps my side so much.
A Marine (Ed E.) told me, “I am afraid that George W. sold out this country for votes in the Latino community. I feel badly that the USA will suffer because of this idiocy.” Another Marine friend of his told me, I ad lib because I don’t have his exact words down, ‘Bush's immigrant plan is a political cesspool (those words I do remember) . . . we are told no one (citizens) to do the millions of jobs so we have to have the 20 million illegals, the same policy makers are telling us we have 20 million poor in this country and unemployment … and, no jobs for our unemployed? This does not make sense.” Ed adds, “Americans are now competing with illegals for low paying jobs, which do not have to be low paying, and that worries me given the educational opportunities, our schools are becoming failures, where are those citizens (going to go) do?‘
Exactly, my Marine friend.
Well, it is not surprising that it is Baldwin's wife who has the balls in the family. All Baldwin can do is name call and snit into the computer. He is too chicken to do what his wife did. He has to come on Free Republic and call us "Bushie" names because he knows he won't risk getting slapped up side the head like he would if he called the foreigners names. His wife, on the other hand...
But hey, he is a citizen of the world and he is wearing his cute little French beret at the moment.
Brian does not sound like a liberal. Brian sounds like Californian who struck out at the bath house.
Oh, oh...now you are putting Freepers on your poo poo head list.
Now he is on a foreigner witch hunt.
One half million people virtually taking over the second largest city in America flying Mexican flags, demanding full amnesty and "free" services, and even demanding that Americans of European origin is clear evidence that the illegal immigration situation is out of control.
Enough is enough. Either the borders are secured and the foreigners are expelled, or expect the end of the United States as we know it.
pathetic
You don't know, nor understand anything at all about the ILLEGAL immigrant problem, nor it's history!
You can't spell.
You can't write a grammatically correct, cogent sentence.
And blaming President Bush for it, proves that you also don't know anything about the fact that CALIFORNIA, where you live, not only encourages these aliens, but has put in force, countermanding FEDERAL LAWS, sanctuary for them. Notice how the police only MOVED the teens? Where was ICE? NOWHERE, because they aren't allowed, by the state of CALIFORNIA ( and this predates Arnold, so don't even try to go there, with your pathetic, dopey, crude insulting, wee, misspelled, badly written English tirade! )forbids them from calling them in.
You have whinged and whined and complained about President Bush,on this thread, calling him names and making patently RIDICULOUS statements about him; none of them factual or true.
Ronald Reagan actually DID give UNCONDITIONAL AMNESTY, TO ALL ILLEGALS and there's nary a peep out of these people, EVER, about that.
Do the Minutemen have any plans on helping out a little in some of the cities a little further in, that the illegals have already gotten into? Such as some citizen's task force or something?
I agree with you completely.
This is not to blame on GWB as the sole cause. That is just stupid.
He has, however, not done much of anything to address the issue. And that pisses me off.
In fact, they're way ahead of you. Shortly after the founding April 2005 operation on the Arizona/Mexico border, the Minuteman Project founders split the organization into two supporting missions.
The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps handles the border operations and has held several musters in several areas in the states along the border. Their biggest muster will happen in April where they will start another month-long operation on the border in Arizona and other states.
The Minuteman Project does internal operations, activism, and lobbying in Washington, DC. They have had several operations in several states where they target areas where illegal aliens congregate and lawbreaking employers pick them up for cheap slave labor. They take photos of the employers and get license plate numbers. They are also active in areas that are proposing to use taxpayer money to construct so-called "day labor" centers.
I love you too Dennis!
