I'm going to take this opportunity to offer praise for two men particularly, and a whole bunch of others generally:

Jim Gilchrist of the Minuteman Project, and Chris Simcox of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps have both taken the slings and arrows of the Left like real troupers, and deserve the thanks of all patriotic Americans for their service to this country.

Additionally, I'd like to personally thank every man and woman who has taken their own resources and stood vigil on the border.

The Minutemen have performed in the proud tradition of THE Minutemen, and I think they're awesome.

Now, none of this should be taken as any indication that I think this "war" is anywhere close to being over.

But the progress that has been made through citizen action is the most compelling example of self-government in our generation.

It is so good to see the politicos squirm...

Did you see a thread about one of their helicopters crashing around Laredo tonight? I posted on it but can't find the thread or my post anymore.

I'll 2nd that. If the MMP hadn't taken this one, we probably wouldn't even be talking about it today. And the Minutemen starting to build a section of fence, IMHO, brought the concept of a fence into the public's mind.
