Washington does not intend to tolerate a bunch of ordinary folks, working off a shoe string budget and an abundance of patriotism, that are able to help defend our country. Why that smacks of self reliance and common sense and you know those bureaucrats do not like those words! Why the next thing you know folks out here in 'flyover' country or on the coast will be asking the Feds to follow the Constitution! Wouldn't that get the politicians knickers in a knot!

The Minutemen got Tennessee's State Troopers' panties in a knot when they arrived in Memphis with a verbal agreement that they would be able to use the Welcoming Center (irony alert). When they arrived they were refused the use of the facility because they didn't have a formal permit and had to conduct their interviews on the sidewalks.

When they got to Nashville (where they had a permit to rally at the War Memorial) the Troopers were lined up all along the balconies of the adjoining Capital Building watching us like vermin through a microscope.

When the authorities fear the common public who's calling the shots?

Tennessee is becoming little Mexico in many places now. I was listening to the radio this morning and they were talking to a construction worker in Nashville. He said he hadn't given politics that much of a thought before but illegals are taking his livelihood away. He was pretty angry.

The GOP leadership had better stop listening to the Rockefeller Republicans who have nearly ran the GOP and this nation into the ground and start listening to conservatives who put their sorry hides in office. Contrary to the question of another looser Jerry Ford saying "Where else can they go" referring to Conservatives at the 2000 GOP Convention we do have somewhere else we can go. We can also replace the GOP. The GOP has forgotten it was born of a major issue and was formed by three parties. It didn't take long to do it either and put a POTUS in the White House.
