We don't need no steen-keeng permits!

Mexicans have a movement going now and they think they are unstoppable. They think they can break any law they want and get away with it.

I have a group living behind us and I am sick and tired of their little brats throwing golf balls, hardballs and rocks at our garage door continually, next time I catch the little punks I am calling the police I already contacted Immigration and Homeland Security on the illegals.

They have about 6 different SUV and pickups
their backyard looks like a pigpen with tires and garbage all over it. We are planning to sell very soon. We tried a year ago to sell but when our real estate agent brought prospective buyers they would hear the loud mexican music going on and see bunches of them in the back working on their trucks that deterred every buyer.

The rest of the area is clean and people keep up their homes but when they moved in well you know the rest....

ACLU: US citizen Minutemen are not welcome, but illegal immigrants are.

[L.N. Smithee]

On the surface, with the provocative quote from Pat King about what the ACLU isn't, this appears to be a fair and balanced article by Brady McCombs, but in reality, it's not.

What's wrong? Read it again, and you may notice that McCombs told the Who, What, When, and Where, but omitted the all-important Why? Why is it so important to the ACLU's Ray Ybarra that the Minutemen -- whose peaceful presence along the border has not lived down to their detractors' dystopic predictions of deadly vigilanteism -- be kept off the trust land? McCombs didn't bother addressing that question, leaving the reader to, perhaps, fill the informational vacuum with well-worn and untrue prejudgments of the Minutemen supplied by immigrant activists, other biased media reports, and, yes, by President Bush.

Sorry, McCombs. Grab your #2 pencil and take a seat. Back to remedial journalism with you.

"She called the ACLU members misguided, out-of-town youngsters who don't understand what people- and drug smugglers have done to her land and the valley."

They would prefer the drug smugglers over the Minutemen.

"Those American Civil Liberties Union persons up there are not concerned about me at all," King said. "So they are not really the American Civil Liberties Union are they? Because they don't give a darn about what has happened to my constitutional rights to property."

Nope. They only care about the ILLEGAL, non-citizens and their ability to oust the citizens of Arizona. And D.C. is right in there, rootin' 'em on, because they aren't doing diddly to stop them. And what a great nation we are. It's only here that our government is working against the people to bring invaders in. Special, just, oh so special...

You can bet they are working on creating an "incident" whereby they can be sued and shut down.

It's a given these days, that NGO's and so-called "non-profit non-partisan" groups are *anything* but, and their names are usually cloying parodies. E.g. "People For The American Way".

ACLU will do anything that will hurt this country. They support an invasion of this country by illegal aliens, they attack any organization that emphasizes character from Boy Scouts to the National Honor Society (their objections have been for the inclusion of character), they have come out strong in favor of pedophiles, and they have extorted those with limited funds to bend to their whim.

[Serenissima Venezia]

Illegals shouldn't be harassed along the border, but card-carrying born Americans should be removed.

That sums it up perfectly. No wonder I've been feeling like I've been living an episode of the Twilight Zone.

"Because they don't give a darn about what has happened to my constitutional rights to property." Ping!

[Tammy8]

If they are contending that the Minutemen need permits, then what about the illegals that pass through that same land?

The ACLU may have opened up a can of worms they did not intend to.

Americas Communist Liberties Union!

I hope someone investigates if the ACLU has permits.
