Go back and see who I was responding to.
Shouldn't this be an opportunity for us to marginalize the Stormfronters by making sure the Minutemen doesn't turn in to just another whacked out racist cabal? Instead of running away from the whole issue at the first hint of trouble?
Yeah... I've read the whole thread. My statements stand.
Nevermind then as my patience at the moment is thin.
Those Nazis can understand it better if you tell them something in their favorite language.
Sie sind ein dummer Dummkopf, Schmerz im Ansatz, und Ihre Mutter kleidet Sie lustig.
They'll understand that, I'm sure.....
That's one of the things Jackelopebreeder (who was recently unfairly banned) has been trying to do. He is concerned that this border "FReep" by the people calling their event the "Minuteman Project" (kind of like the "code names" that the great guys at Protest Warrior use) will go south. He's hoping to weed out the weirdos and keep the personal protection under control. But he got banned as did others. I having nothing to do with the Minuteman Project, I just hate to see people unfairly maligned especially when it comes to people who actually want to do something about the border problem that is destroying my community and hurting our national security.
They're evil if they allow Stormfront to even link it. There's NO PLACE for racists at all in America.
Minuteman project is as racist as Stormfront. I never heard of you guys complaining of illegal Irish immigrants in NYC. You just complain about Mexicans.
Get lost.
To do nothing about illegal immigration is not a plan.
Criticizing those who do something is not a plan.
Conservatives criticize the plan that is not perfect. Come up with something better and to it quick.
I have been to the border aread. I have been to homes where people have been killed so someone can steal their car.
For those of you who say that they are comming here for a better life, I agree and that life is YOURS!
For those of you who say that they are here to do jobs that no american will do. I have one question, at what price?
We are setting up legal economic slavery system in the United States and that will be as wrong as the old fashioned kind of slavery.
This is personal with me. If you are a rich republican that is making a fortune off of illegal aliens then I am your worst nightmare.
I would be willing to shut down every hotel and fast food restaurant in California.
On April 23rd to 28th we go to washington to
Hold Their Feet to The Fire
A National Drive for Immigration Reform
Washington, DC
April 23-28, 2005
Come to Washington, DC and tell Congress in person what you have been telling them over the phone and in letters and faxes. Join Roger Hedgecock, top rated radio talk show host in San Diego, California (KOGO/AM 600), who is sponsoring a national drive for immigration reform on April 23-28, 2005.
Over the last 10 years, Roger has taken large groups of his listeners to Washington, DC to lobby Congress on key issues. This year he is asking radio talk show hosts around the country to join him in a national effort culminating in two days of citizen lobbying on Capitol Hill for immigration reforms. FAIR is a cosponsor of "Hold their Feet to the Fire" drive.
Further details are provided below and more information will be provided in regular upcoming updates. In the meanwhile, the first step is for activists to commit to participating. Please send this alert to your like minded friends, ask them to do the same, and mark your calendars.
Here's how Roger puts it to his listeners:
Are you ready to stop whining about immigration reform?
Are you ready to do something about it?
Will you get off the couch and get to work?

Um, Einstein, Minuteman Project has no control over who posts links to them on other Internet forums. You're ASSuming a great deal if you think they even know about the links on SF.
http://www.cnn.com. There. I posted a link to CNN. What can they do about it? Are they now a right-wing conservative organization because a link was posted to their website on Free Republic!?
People coming across our borders illegally come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and creeds. It ALL has to stop. They are more than welcome to come here through legal channels. The more the merrier. Jump the border though, and you are little better than any other invader.
No, why don't YOU get lost. Newb...
You racist xenophobe bigot!! Bend over and take it like everyone else and quit yer whining!!
Have you ever used the internet before?
DU often labels FR a neo-Nazi, hate-mongering, white supremist site. Guess beauty is in the eye's of the beholder?
DU thought Kerry was a viable candidate. So much for their judgement...
The Minuteman project is another Vietnam veterans against the war, and it's already attracting participation from the Neo-Nazi's.
I'd like to believe the "WE" are the grown ups in the country at the moment. The left still cannot accept that there are consequences for ones actions. Let's not make the same errors in judgment.
Trying to equate the two groups is intellectual dishonesty.
Some years ago, groups of protesters (Jane Fonda, John Kerry, etc.) were not happy with the progress of the war.
They were calling attention to the war so they could get it resolved more quickly.
In so doing they turned public opinion (along with the MSM, and liberal politicians) against the war.
We were actually winning the war but the pressure got so intense that the administration was forced into a very unfortunate solution.
I think we can make our point without attempting to force our own president into a counterproductive solution.
I think Bush has heard our concerns, I think he probably knew about it before we did. I think we need to give him the benefit of the doubt and let him unfold his plan in his way without us taking to the streets and possibly sabotaging him.
Look, I'd by lying if I said I have not probed the limits here and gotten a couple of temporary "time out" type bans. But you are attacking and doing nothing constructive. Good bye.
