The Tale of the Invisible Seven-Hundred-Mile Fence
self | 6 January, 2007 | joanie-f

Posted on 01/06/2007 8:31:55 AM PST by joanie-f

Ever since the crisis at our southern border was recognized as one, there have been countless meaningless rumblings, and one actual piece of ‘legislation’ (not suprisingly, still unsupported by the funds to back it up) from congress -- all aimed at suppressing citizen outrage regarding our open borders -- none of which is destined to see realization.

When it comes to genuinely and resolutely addressing the crisis occurring across the border, everything that emanates from Washington is simply window dressing. To the majority of opportunistic traitors in our government, the invasion that is destroying our national identity, making a mockery of the rule of law, rewarding insidious parasitic behavior, and putting every American citizen in danger, is secondary in importance to the desire to increase their voting base, the lure of cheap labor, or the vision of a one-world borderless utopia. And don’t tell me the fundamental nature of the above does not fall under the definition of treason (common synonyms: betrayal, disloyalty, duplicity).

Tom Tancredo, in his book In Mortal Danger, writes:

We have the necessary technology, combined with human resources, to secure our borders tomorrow. It is a canard for politicians to say that it is impossible and that we must figure out a different way to defend America rather than defending our borders. What they are really saying is, ‘I choose not to defend and secure our borders because there are political ramifications that I fear.’ It is those fears that put the life of every American citizen in mortal danger.

Every day that our borders remain porous physically endangers every one of us, as a result of the increase in violent crime that invariably accompanies the influx of the criminals, and it drains our economy and our education and healthcare systems because many of the parasites demand and receive the same services that the rest of us have earned. But, much worse, it increases the likelihood (becoming more of a certainty with the passage of time and the inaction of those whose charge it is to ensure our safety and sovereignty) that there is an ever-increasing number of terrorists among us, some of whom have brought with them the means for our destruction.

Jerome Corsi, author of Unfit for Command, discusses the threat that both nuclear suitcase bombs, and dirty bombs, pose in his more recent book, Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians:

... the threat of dirty bombs is real, though we should not assume that a dirty bomb would be the weapon of choice, especially not for a group of skilled terrorists who would have the backing of a nuclear-armed rogue state such as Iran. The mad mullahs and their terrorist associates would, if possible, opt for a much more deadly scenario, one that could truly bring the civilized world to its knees in the space of one day. If serious terrorists are going to spend their time devising attacks, the terror masters directing them will move to the most feasible attack that can cause the maximum amount of damage. Why bother with anything less?

Whatever their eventual modus operandi may be -- future attacks of a nuclear, chemical, biological, or other sort -- the facts are clear: there are already countless islamic cells within our borders. They are proselytizing and recruiting in mosques, schools, and prisons. And we continue to allowing more of them, and additional 'equipment', to enter this country virtually unfettered.

With such an unprecedented, deadly threat staring us in the face, and virtually nothing keeping islamic operatives from simply strolling across our southern border ... suitcase in hand ... with what are the president and congress occupying themselves?

The piously declared ‘new era’ in Washington is being ushered in with significant fanfare and air of self-importance. Will the much-touted ‘new Iraq policy’, an increase in the minimum wage, expansion of embryonic stem-cell research, a tightening of ethics rules (where have we heard that before, and which of the ‘fool-me-once’-challenged among us continues to believe such pap?), and the inexhaustible fountain of nonsense posing as issues of importance, have any relevance when one of more of our cities are reduced to rubble, and our countrymen are suffering in debilitating ways that our minds cannot even begin to comprehend?

Not only is our government reneging on its promise to build a physical barrier to prevent the continuing flood of illegals of all stripes (islamic terrorists surely among them). Our fearless leaders are also stationing our countrymen at the border, putting their lives in extreme danger, and forbidding them to do what needs to be done to fulfill their duties.

Yesterday National Guard troops stationed along the Arizona border were forced to retreat when confronted by hostile criminals intent on crossing. Unable to engage the enemy because their role is bureaucratically defined as not to extend beyond an administrative capacity, members of the greatest fighting force in the history of the world had no choice but to retreat at their own border, when confronted by armed criminals seeking to cross (story).

Every informed American knows that the goal of islamic terrorists is to bring America to her knees, in as brutal and violent a manner as possible. We also know that we have it entirely within our power to at least dramatically reduce the probability that they will succeed. Yet our own leadership is forbidding us to do so, when the single most vital responsibility of our government is to defend our territorial integrity.

When the next, and much more deadly and virulent, terrorist attack occurs here on American soil, upon whom do we lay the blame for the torment and suffering that will befall thousands, if not millions, of our innocent countrymen? Do we hate the madmen who have made no secret of their desire to destroy us? Or do we reserve a more potent brand of hatred for those calculating pretenders among us who claim to be our protectors, while at the same time placing their insatiable thirst for personal power above the very lives and liberties of those whose trust and commission they consistently debase, and deliberately betray?

The American government is as much an enemy of the American people as is any Middle Eastern terrorist organization. And, if wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing deceit contributes to degree of malevolence, then the wickedness of those who claim to represent us, and who claim to have our best interests at heart, is beyond measure.

The American Crisis is worsening by the day, while our leadership continues to turn a convenient blind eye, polishing their primping and posturing skills, and offering up meaningless, toothless, mirage ‘solutions’ to a cancer that threatens to eventually render our individual liberty and sovereignty extinct.

It would appear that the future of our republic rests on the shoulders of the American patriot. We are walking down a path ... certainly not well-lit, nor well-traveled ... that has not existed in our lifetimes, or those of our parents or grandparents. We must continue to keep the Founders’ vision primary in our focus, and always look to Him for guidance.

I believe I hear them weeping, and imploring us to reflect on the glorious history of this republic, the monumental sacrifices that were required to make it so, and the need to assure her future (‘to provide new guards for [her] future security’) ... before the time and opportunity to do so has passed.

You are correct. Nothing will be done untill America has civil warII. Thats when Old America will have to take up arms to defend itself from the destructive policies of the parasites and predators who call themselves public servants in DC.

Wow joanie; another thoughtful and excellent piece of writing. Would that I could add something to the debate, but having read through the whole thread, there just aren't any significant points that have been missed IMO.

One question comes to mind re the potential for middle eastern types crossing the southern border. That is, notwithstanding the dominance of the Catholic Church in Mexico, just as Islam has been recruiting in the cesspools of America, is it not likely the same is also true of Mexico? A converted Mexican national would fit right in with his "brothers" in America. La Reconquista on steroids???

Good rant I would say... Thanks for the effort..

One other thing.....
A portion of multi millions of Legal and Illegal Aliens VOTING..
Very probably skewed many of the 2006 elections..
And with literally nothing being done about that..
2008 will no doubt be even more skewed..

Strange that this FACT is not faced even here at FreeRepublic..
Its quite easy to get registered to VOTE by illegal and even legal aliens in most places..

Forgive the double-post...

You are forgiven. (It was worth repeating, imo.)

These characters are sworn to uphold the Constitution, and manage to renege on the ..."provide for the common defense.." part with amazing regularity.

The one piece of legislation was and remains a 'feelgood' artifact from a gutless Congress who had not the stones to do anything meaningful, and will remain such as long as the opposition is in power, unfortunately.

Great article joanie. I can tell it was good by how uncomfortable I felt after reading it. I lived 8 miles from the border in S. Texas for 25 years. Unfortunately, there is a lot of truth in what you write. Thanks for posting.

When I was discharged from the USMC the officer in charge of the proceedings took great pains to remind me that while my legal obligation the the US Marines was fulfilled my oath to 'support and defend the Constitution against all enemies' was most decidedly not and wouldn't be until the day I die.

I've never forgotten that.

I never will.

Excellent points, hosepipe.

The illegals already in this country are procreating at a significantly faster rate than the rest of us. Allowing even more of them free access to citizenship, without the attendant responsibility that once used to be attached, will simply serve to cause those of us who are what you call the current ‘European-American majority’ to have less and less of a voice about our future. Parasites, with no comprehension, and even less appreciation, of the roots of this republic, will call the shots for our grandchildren.

Bears repeating. And, should Hillary ascend to the presidency, the final nail will be driven.

You know, I can’t say that I disagree with anything you’ve said in R #117.

The only thing I take issue with is what you call your resonance. Sounds to me more like resignation.

Yes, our enthography has changed. No, it doesn’t look like any of the ‘powers that be’ intend to do anything about the situation. But the fact is that, unless we somehow secure our borders soon, the chances of two worse things happening increase:

(1) Those of us who comprehend and revere the America that once was, and who are seeking to bring her back to at least a reflection of her former greatness, will become an ever-shrinking minority. The illegals already in this country are procreating at a significantly faster rate than the rest of us. Allowing even more of them free access to citizenship, without the attendant responsibility that once used to be attached, will simply serve to cause those of us who are what you call the current ‘European-American majority’ to have less and less of a voice about our future. Parasites, with no comprehension, and even less appreciation, of the roots of this republic, will call the shots for our grandchildren.

(2) The odds of someone with mass terrorism intentions entering, and accomplishing his insidious goals, increases every day our borders remain open.

I agree with you that the situation is bad, and most likely not correctable. But the leak needs to be plugged so that bad doesn’t turn to worse, and then abominable, and then tragic.

Our Founders faced seemingly insurmountable odds. They were in a small minority in their opposition to the crown. But the original Minutemen wouldn’t have resigned themselves to an intolerable situation any more than modern American patriots can.

I happen to believe that the looming dissolution (possibly annihilation) of most of what is good, and has been for more than two centuries, about America is fast becoming a foregone conclusion. Yet simple resignation to that fact is not an option.

Even if our only avenue of resistance is writing letters to the editor or our local newspapers and talking to uninformed friends and neighbors about the corruption and deception, and in some cases even collusion with the enemy, that is rampant in the government whose main purpose is to secure our safety and sovereignty, then we are at least serving as neighborhood activists. Doing nothing is equivalent to passive acquiescence to being swallowed up by a foreign enemy.

Millions of swing voters who voted Dem because of Iraq and corruption cost us the election not the 3 or 4 conservatives who actually stayed home.

Please define "us." To those who no longer want to be associated with the yellow-belly Republican party, that inclusive word might not be appropriate.

One way or another, I am afraid so. But it need not be her Heinous, any wolf in sheep's clothing will do, RINOs included.

From what I have seen, McCain and Rudy are both being shilled by the MSM because they will be easy to obliterate in the last week or two of the cycle. In the meantime, this breaks the republican party into factions debating which MSM chosen candidate should be 'the one', instead of letting all of us concentrate on finding a (conservative) candidate we can all live with without the baggage.

Those who howl most loudly for 'compromise' are convinced that only the MSM annointed have a prayer of winning, when there appears to be a significant contingent who would vote against Hillary regardless of who is running against her.

Garnering the Libertarian and 'ultra-conservative' third party vote could be as important as getting a chunk of the middle.
