Thanks very much!  As usual, our friend Backhoe is all over this issue and has a definitive Minuteman-related thread!

I don't mind if they drop over LEGALLY for a visit and legally buy our beer, but I just want them to leave any terrorists and their POUTINE back at home   :-)

Human rights groups from both sides of the border protested the Minutemen patrols Saturday at the Peace Arch border crossing.

That is all the evidence we need to know they are doing the right thing. The anti-Americans woudn't be in a snit if the Minutemen weren't on to something.

You're absolutely right of course.  A surefire and quick method of determining the proper path is to look at what the anti-American Left is doing, and do the exact opposite thing  :-)

But critics say they're worried that some of the members are armed, and that nationally, they have associations with racist organizations.

There is LULAC, MeCha, NAACP, Nation of Islam, RainbowPush and CAIR members patrolling the Canadian border trying to stop white Anglo-Franco Canadians from crossing illegally???

Imagine that.

Great! This is the American spirit!

Drug smuggling, the recent discovery of a sophisticated, cross-border drug tunnel, and the arrest of 'millennium bomber' Ahmed Ressam, who was nabbed in Washington state as he drove off a ferry from Victoria, B.C. in 1999, has put the Minutemen on alert.

Sounds like a job for Batman ping...

New Minuteman volunteer Betsy Madan told CTV News that it "feels good to be doing something that may protect my kids and my neighbour's kids. That matters to me a whole lot."

The Millenium Bomber came through the border up there. If any of them are White Supremacists, I don't want them around, but I really don't mind what they're doing.

...but I just want them to leave any terrorists and their POUTINE back at home...

POUTINE is properly served with Pepsi (in a BOTTLE, thank you) and a pack of 'Luckies'...

Yum!! Now THAT'S 'Good Eats' eh?

None of us care for bigots of any stripe.

Indeed. I've always thought we should have sent the White Supremacists up there in the middle of the terrorists. That way, we might kill two birds with one stone.

I like the way you think. David Duke seems pretty admiring of Osama Bin Laden. Let's drop him and his white power brothers in the middle of Saudi Arabia, see how long they last.

Both American and Canadian protestors joined together in opposition of the Minuteman inititives, some critics allege that the group has racist motives behind their operations.

"Eh Doug. What race are Canadians, anyway?"

Although I know you are suggesting fighting fire with fire, you are walking very close to Bill Bennett territory. :-)

That said, I say to heck with the tender ears of the politically correct. They kill gnats with dynamite to intimidate us into not opposing them. PC is but one of their tools.
