TOMBSTONE, Ariz. — They came by the hundreds Friday, men and women from across the nation, hearts brimming with righteous anger, determined to staunch the flow of illegal immigration.

Some wore pistols slung low on their hips. Others walked the dusty streets in leather cowboy hats, wearing buttons that read: "Undocumented Border Patrol Agent." There were pilots, window washers, private investigators and exterminators.

I have no interest in coresponding with you. The past has shown that you must call on the Admin Monitor when you are unable to defend your opinions. Have a nice day.

Should we rely on the fringe elements of our society to do it?

So, if real Americans who care about our nation are "fringe elements", what the hell is the ACLU???

Looks like the Minuteman Project has had some success in screening out racist participants.

Link Post 54

"..Yep, I was washed out because of my affiliations with a hate group. I now have to wonder if my emails to them are on file with the FBI. The leadership are conservative ditto heads to be sure. They are trying to create a non-racist image. That image is only in their own minds as Simcox is routinely mentioned right alongside Ranch Rescue and American Border Patrol as racist vigilantes by the press..."

Link Post 148

"..from my first communique with them and it was alright as long as I was with their program. A month ago they started to get worried the PC crowd would think they were racists so they disinvited me and others in a vain effort to placate the PC forces..."

"Q: Are you contending that the Minutemen are Klansmen? If so, on what basis?   A: Absolutely. Based on posts at Stormfront" --Once-Ler

"As I said The MMP did the right thing today by feeding and giving water to the illegal and if it lasts all month I will comeback for a slice of humble pie." --Once-Ler

LOL! And to think that I actually let you sucker me with your wait-and-see, "humble pie" ruse! But here you are spouting more of your vile and contemptable lies that the Minutemen are klansman, denigrating better men than you could ever hope to be.

All I'm saying is armed groups of people usually equate to people getting shot.

Hmmm. Never been to a range, match, or event involving firearms, have you?

The key to controlling any tool is discipline, not many guns have minds of their own.

Your assertion is contradicted daily by million of law abiding gun owners.

You have a history of EarthFirst and violence. Can you show me one instance of violence and the Patriotic Minutemen?

>>All I'm saying is armed groups of people usually equate to people getting shot. I'd be the same if the just had knives. People would get stabbed.<<

So what you're saying is that million or so CCW holders should have a history of shooting people. Sorry CJ but your laundry stinks and it just won't wash on this forum.

Thought for the day:
If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in theater during the last 22 months,
it gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000. The rate in DC is 80.6 per 100,000. That means that
you are more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun
control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington, D.C.!!!!

Now you finally said something I can agree with. It should be a TWO pronged attack, close the border and go after employerss who hire illegals.

I think, though, that you are missing the point. What should be done is not being done, nor is any lame attempt being done, the only thing that is being done about the problem is ignoring it and hoping the people won't revolt.

The minuteman project is the beginning of the revolt, it is the 'sort of' final notice to the government that we've had it and they better do something or we will!
