I know you will find this hard to believe, but many of us work tirelessly for "free" for our country. I doubt I would want to circulate anythng you find important.

As do I.

Parental notification before allowing a minor to have an abortion. It's REALLY important.

It's official--you're full of it. I was a cop for a while, and we NEVER shared (and never will share) intelligence with civilians. It just is not done.

Well the info just comes pouring out doesn't it? The bust occurred in the second week of October and the location was approximately 500 yard west of the Fabens Point of Entry, aka the Guadalupe Bridge, off of Ranch Road 1109 and Middle Island road which is designated...

A private meeting was requested by BP Fabens Field Ops Supervisor M****** G***** with the Texas Minutemen Border Watch Staff regarding the TXMM team stationed at the known high traffic crossing area referred to as 500 West P.O.E. The TXMM team was reporting high levels of radio traffic on freqs 462.600 and 462.725.

BP informed Texas Minutemen Staff that they also had detected this traffic and had gathered intel regarding the nature of such traffic.

At the request of BP a high level of presence was presented by TXMM team members at at the 500 west P.O.E. until a specific time requested by BP upon which the 500 west P.O.E. Watch post was abandoned and all Texas Minutemen Watch activity was withdrawn from and purposely avoided the area. At approximately 2300 hours a crossing occured at the abandoned watch location which undercover BP Agents and El Paso County Sheriff Deputies had under surveillance.

The individuals crossing were intercepted at the above described location and the two individuals were arrested for illegal entry into the United States and possession of controlled substance. This later proved to be heroin. Forty pounds. Not much in the grand scheme of things but BP was all smiles when it was done.

You know, when you say things like "I was a cop for a while I'm just not surprised.

By the way. The location that was purposely abandoned in order to trick the smugglers into crossing was reoccupied at dawn the next day and was occupied for the duration of the project. Just so they would know.

Not by choice. Got medically retired four years in after getting a bullet in my left lung.

And, while your alleged summary of events looks very impressive, it's still BS. Wannabe commandos.

[TLI]

If you can get to Ft. Bliss shoot me an email just before October. Unless the Almighty miracles the illegals back to Mexico we will be having the October Border Watch just prior to the November `06 elections. You can at least drive out and have lunch with the teams!

[TLI]

Sorry about your hit. Worst I ever got was a busted ankle on a night drop. BUT, no BS. Even BP was surprised by the level we work at. The Texas Minutemen operation is far beyond what everyone did at the original Minuteman Project last April. Lots of technology, air support and much better deployment of resources.

Gotta go, I hear a plate of spaghetti and sauce "callin' me name."

[rfreedom4u]

Sounds good to me. Maybe one thing will be enjoyable if I end up there.

Now you can be thought of as a conservative and spend money willy-nilly on every half-witted idea born to man.

I know our government is more addicted to spending money than the President claims we are addicted to oil (like the government has developed any alt energy, hah!) but damn! They are spending a LOT of dough!

[NewRomeTacitus]

Survived a lung shot - my hat's off to your continued survival. Have you really looked at how your circumstances may have shaped your current opinions? It's hard for a formerly virile individual to be involuntarily put on the bench while other less-qualified individuals get to go after the mission in their place. That sucks bigtime.

So I'm asking if you really believe that our efforts to force the government back to realistic national security are expending wasted energy or if you have a better idea (because those that can no longer flex muscle step up as brains or know to step out of the picture).

[Lurker]

Oh so you're retired and (presumably) on a pension.

So there are three possible reasons you can't get off your whiny ass and help out.

One-you have serious medical problems. I honestly hope that you don't but if you do you have my condolences and my gratitude for doing a difficult and often thankless job.

Two-you're lazy.

Three-your scared.

So.....which is it?

Got it in one. I'm missing half of my left lung and use a cane.

Bottom line: get enough volunteers to cover the entire border at the same time, or the illegals will simply go around--and those who have to deal with the ensuing mess elsewhere will not appreciate you and your efforts.

[kimosabe31]

Fine. Where do I send the bill for my valuable time that you want me to spend doing something other than what I wish to do?

Palehorse...go somewhere else and whine...a$$hole.

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

Palehorse...go somewhere else and whine...a$$hole.

Why don't you go somewhere else and do something useful?

[TLI]

Well Dog, it wasn't all THAT rough was it? Merely a few potholes and one large speedbump, so to speak...

[Dog Gone]

It was still prudent to buckle up. ;-)

[TLI]

Safety nazi! < /sar >

[Dog Gone]

I only total my truck, flip it over a few times, that sort of thing, on about 1% of my driving attempts. The other 99% of my trips I don't need to wear a seat belt at all.

I just can't always predict when that 1% will happen. ;-)

He doesn't understand what being American means. JFK said it best!!
