Someday soon, our idiotic govt is gonna push the wrong button on someone, and the crap is going to hit the fan. Chaos will escalate rapidly. Citizens will find themselves in the middle of the biggest battle since Gettysburg.

Another Travis McGee, he of dear departed memory.

Another Travis McGee, he of dear departed memory.

Travis McGee is a great and patriotic American and undeserving of your sneer. Were you but half the man he is.

Travis is a better person and a more loyal American, than you could ever try to be.

Do you receive that much satisfaction berating others that you can't even restrict your comments to those who've not been muzzled by banning...whose only "crime" was stating what he thought, something you do in spades?

Travis is not here to defend himself, rather tacky to bring him into this. BTW, I think Travis was only stating what many of us who live on the border have known for some time about what the end result will likely be of this failed border policy. In my opinion Travis' banning from FR was nothing more than punishing the messenger.

I see others on this thread have attacked your patriotism. I won't.

Rome fell to barbarians who either would not or could not conform to Roman ways were allowed to settle within national borders.

A similar fate befell the Byzantines (yes I know just the eastern half of the empire) for similar reasons to the Turks.

Look at what the Mongols did to China. China had gunpowder and all the Mongols had were some horse and a few goats.

Look at the chicanery that continues in Kosovo. The muslims, from Albania to the South, moved into a relatively prosperous province and decided to take it over. They got it and have ruined it, albeit with the UN's help.

History is rife with situations where a culturally civilized people people are invaded, conquered, subjugated and ruined by nearby populations of people who have no con sept of what makes a civilization successful, which is always the rule of law.

We must be extremely careful and take in citizen candidates who are aware of and fully respect the rule of law.

That is where you and I part ways. I want you to be right, every bit of my knowledge and instinct tells me this is going to end in bloodshed.
