Broken Borders: Broken Promises (Simcox-Minuteman)

ABC 15 Investigators ^ | 4/27/2006 | Staff

Americans are donating thousands of dollars to support Minutemen patrolling the border. But you may be surprised where your money is NOT going in this 4-month investigation.

If you REALLY knew anything at all about Chicago, you would have long ago realized that I have less than NO homosexual interest in you, or in any man, for that matter.

You don't know what the letters WAC stand for, so let me help you out here....that would be the WOMEN'S ATHLETIC CLUB. It's a nice, rather old fashioned private club and a nice place for LADIES WHO LUNCH.

I implied nothing, NOTHING, that is, to anyone who was not at least a closeted homosexual and you fell for it hook, line and sinker. Pity that..........

And just WHERE have I ever said that I want an amnesty? Go forth and find such a post of mine and CCP it to this thread.

LOL....this should be fun and keep you busy for at least the next year.

With that much manpower down there, they should have that whole border wrapped in barbed wire. On a good day, I could fence a mile by myself.

If the ground is soft enough. But the pic showed 'T' posts not 2" pipe posts. I don;t know what sort of substrate they are putting postholes in, either (dirt, sand, solid rock?).

Heck, postholes are cheap, shipping is free, but the danged installation charges can be something else...

[nopardons]

I'm not "creepy" and if you ever ventured into Chicago, the odds of your running into me, are just about nil; for many reasons....not the least of which is that I no longer live there. But I DO come for visits! :-)

Wow. Quite an article. The only thing nuttier than the writers is Simcox.

I don't know if it's because it is late, or I'm tired, or what, but I am cracking up over that piece on Simcox. Three hilarious pages of strange, but these are my favorite tidbits so far:

"With his guns close at hand and visions of mushroom clouds blossoming darkly in his mind's eye, Chris Simcox punched the record button on the answering machine inside his Los Angeles apartment."
***

""I'm going on a great adventure," he told his teenaged son. "If I end up going to prison, you can always e-mail me.""
***

"While Simcox has been interviewed for hundreds of newspaper articles and television shows, little has been reported about his background except that he used to be a private-school teacher and that he claims to have been a hip-hop music producer and a professional baseball player who was once drafted by the Cincinnati Reds but had to quit the game after he had part of a lung surgically removed."
***

"In phone conversations with his son that his ex-wife recorded and submitted to the court as evidence of Simcox's mental instability, he challenged the boy to become "a man and a real American."

"You better stop playing baseball, buddy, and you better do something real, 'cause life will never be the same," Simcox thundered. "I'm going to go down to the Mexican border and sign up for the government for border patrol to protect the borders of the country that I love. You hear how serious I am."

Simcox's son asked his father what would happen to his cat, Moe. "Moe may end up on the dead pile, " Simcox said. "
(rotflol I think I finally found a tag line!)
***

""Take heed of our weapons because we're going to defend our borders by any means necessary," he said. "There's something very fishy going on at the border. The Mexican army is driving American vehicles -- but carrying Chinese weapons. I have personally seen what I can only believe to be Chinese troops.""
***

"In multiple interviews and public appearances, Simcox has dismissed the possibility that he's personally racist by pointing out that he once married a black woman and by claiming that he once chaired the diversity committee at Wildwood School.
(Head of School Hope Boyd, who has been at Wildwood since 1992, told the Report she had no recollection of Simcox holding such a post. "I do not remember that he was chair of our diversity committee," she said.)
"When I'm asked by reporters if I'm a racist, I tell them, 'Why don't you go ask my black ex-wife and my biracial children and the members of the racial diversity committee I chaired whether I'm a racist?'" he said at the October conference. "
***

"But his rivals don't buy it. "Simcox knows how to put on a good showpiece, and he looks pretty on TV, but he's all talk and no walk," said Jim Chase, leader of the rival, more hard-core civilian border patrol organization California Minutemen.

"He's more concerned with finding himself a sugar mama than anything else. I expect that if the bullets ever really start flying or if the going really gets tough, he'll abandon what he started. Until then, he'll go on pretending he's king shit of the Minutemen."

I have barely scratched the surface here. It is hilarious. And sad, but you can read that stuff here:

Simcox's exploits in that article make Superman seem like a fairy.

[durasell]

Moe may end up on the dead pile.




Well, what about Larry and Curley? AWOL?

[Rex Anderson]

Simcox sounds certifiable.

But the authors of that piece cracked me up. Is there a Bulwer-Lytton Journalism Contest?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Is there a Bulwer-Lytton Journalism Contest?

Probably at the Arthur Murray School of Journalism.

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.

it's the communist fault ??<<<

Yes, it is in the communist manifesto 1963 and has been used by the communist countries as a method to dilute the native born people in a country.

Russia is a pro at moving populations around, a 100,000, is no trouble at all for them.

At this time we have about 50 admitted communists in our Congress, they are listed on the Democratic Socialist website and in other spots.

I mix up names, so won't attempt to name the congressman that had a list on his congress gov. page, he was also a member, the page was removed, after I put the link in my sig line and left it there for months........LOL

That page was at:

http://bernie.house.gov/pc/members.asp



Google will pull them with a general search for:

DSA members in Congress of USA

The Communist Manifesto, as presented to Congress in 1963,
will come up with a google search for:

Communist Manifesto 1963

It has 45 goals, not the 10 or 18 they want you to recall.

Schools, church and tear down the leaders are all in it.

By bringing in all the third world folks, it will change the vote totals, the democrats promise the world to poor folks and expect their votes in return.

The etext.org, about 3 years ago, on the Mao link, had a full explamation on the fact that the borders should remain open, so they could bring in non-Americans.

In the Mayday and Mexican parades that we had, the signs and flags were paid for by the Moveon.org, which is communist, go dig up the photos of those parades, the raised fist and the hammer and sickle are in them freely.....

I can't open most of the sites (with this computer) on the list that was posted, for the Prince, but there were several on the page, that were communist and I think all of them were.

From the last election in Mexico and from my prior google searches for communist party in Mexico and also the Muslims
in Mexico, it appears that half of Mexico voted for the communist candidate......and muslim is the fastest growing
religion in Mexico, they are converting and staying with the
muslim religion, after they move to America.

There is a lot more to the border problem, than simply a few
Mexicans coming here to work. Those are not our threat, it is the ones showing up in the protests, and hauling a commie flag, that scare me.

That is my opinion, after a lot of digging and searching.

I use the simple google search for such as this, as it will pull far more than an advanced search will.

[Marine Inspector]

The MSM is evil, unless it supports their agenda.

On the other hand, I've never trusted Simcox.

[Marine Inspector]

It will be interesting to see how this plays out from here. Hopefully, there will be some sort of response from Simcox.

It's already played out. It's a hit piece from the liberal media; it took the ABC15 team 4 months to find half a dozen disgruntled Minutemen; it got zero attention in the local media; and Simcox did what I would have done, ignored it.

[stopem]

And people should question where their "donations" are going.

Whether Simcox and the Minutemen are guilty of fraudelent practices does not mean that the NEED for BORDER SECURITY
should stop.

I am not a "border hysteric" whatever that means, BUT anyone who can't see that illegals flooding into open borders is costing taxpayers billions not to mention the security of this nation is blind and or naive.

All that are posting here with a immature attitude that says gottcha to those who believe that border security is vital to national security is again, either naive or blind.

The minutemen concept was born out of need to secure the borders and is obviously being investigated as to whether money donated is being used properly probably by the OPEN BORDER HYSTERICS!!

So those that advocate OPEN BORDERS such as Dane and Sinkspur and are obsessive about fighting border security are not to be considered HYSTERICS??? Why not???

[Dane]

Ya know this is my first post on this almost 600 reply thread and for some reason, you seem to have a need to slam me.

That's ok, I would be bitter and embarassed also for following a larry klayman clone, chris simcox.

[stopem]

I have no idea who klayman is and I am not defending simcox I think what he did is disgusting and he should be prosecuted.

There are a lot of immature posts about border security on this thread and slamming those who believe in securing the border and this nation. And also name calling such as "border hysterics" whatever that means, so why aren't people who advocate OPEN borders and are obsessive not called hysterics???

I didn't "slam" you.

[stopem]

I feel sorry for all those good folks who volunteered their time, simcox should be prosecuted!

[stopem]

True but we really shouldn't blame the volunteers they look like they are good, decent people for most part who believe in securing this nation.

Simcox is the creep and conman.

[taxed2death]

"Simcox is relegated to Klayman status...lol."

Good, that means Karl Rove will be meeting with him next week.


LOL

Sean Hannity with Chris Simcox.
