Should the Obama Administration be put on political suicide watch? First, they obnoxiously defend their obnoxious TSA 'grope American' policy. Now, they're going to pull the miniscule, phony baloney "we secure the borders" theater, by pulling back the National Guard.
Is Glenn Beck correct in that the only reasonable explanation for what Obama's doing is to "provoke us"?
I’m curious if there is a sufficient budget in this plan to provide remaining border patrols with white flags.
It would be racist to protect our borders.
I bet Obama would reinstate those troopers post haste then!
But they are going to spend 52 million on plants that were damaged at the fence
Given the results of the last election, the Democrats need all the voters they can get; ergo, the open border with Mexico.
When the NG was on the border during the Bush Administration they really had an impact they were a clear presence. I haven’t seen any of them this time except a few in Walmart.
The border states need to raise Border Protection Regiments as part of the State Guard. Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico would due that. One advantage is that local people would be there and know the regions fully. They could be armed with infantry weapons (including light machine guns), so if there is a firefight with Zetas, they could give their own.
If the Feds don’t like it, fry them.
I hate the people that dont hate zero!
“Should the Obama Administration be put on political suicide watch?”
I always thought they were only trying for one ultra-damaging term.
The administration in total is using these tactics just making it clear to us who is in charge and sadly enough "we the people" are letting them get away with it.
Posting the National Guard was a cheap one-liner for the President. TOTUS told him to say it, so he said it. It was stupid political theater before the election, and now the election is over.
The deployment was ill designed and completely ineffective anyway. Let them go home, because they’re not accomplishing anything out in the desert, anyway.
And if the DREAM Act passes, there will be no border to enforce. All any illegal has to do is walk up to the first cop he sees and claim to have a right to stay in the country while his DREAM Act eligibility is adjudicated. That process could take years. And during those years, he is granted, automatically, a Green Card and working papers, no matter how specious his claim may be.
Riiiiiiiight.
They may as well remove them, they were only placed there for “show” anyway.
“Is Glenn Beck correct in that the only reasonable explanation for what Obama’s doing is to “provoke” us?”
Initially, I thought no. I just assumed he was a power hungry socialist who wants to “transform” this country into a socialist nation. However, I am now changing my mind. Why else ignore the border and the deaths? Why support the TSA and this obvious invasion of privacy and the fact that the Muslims get off scott free? Why the house bill that won’t allow a person to grow tomatoes in their own backyard? If demonstrations take place, and violence/destruction occurs, can’t he enact some sort of power that would prevent the 2012 elections?
There were never any plans for the Guard to do anything significant anyway. Heaven help any poor guardsman who offended a wetback!
No game is won when offense is not allowed .......
Clearly Erkel Mugabes ROE for this “game” have eliminated or disallowed any offense an much of the defense to forward his agenda.
Going to hang a BHO Christmas ornament from my Christmas tree....
First off I did not read the article at the link. (browser issues)
But from the bit you posted: New Southwest Security plan?
Laughable.
Regarding Beck.
Either my TSH levels are too high making me uptight/scared or Beck is really on to some heavy doo doo. I will know in a few weeks per blood work order.
I have been away from the internet for a few days but wonder if the Grab Muh Gun the new Civil War Posters have been around here.
If they are for real we will know when the doo doo hits the fan. I tend to think they are nothing more than a resounding gong.
The prepare plan Beck has been advising is nothing new to Freepers as allot of us started doing that years ago.
Big deal—they were just picking up the illegal alien cigarette butts anyway.
In other news, the White House has announced that, under a new security plan, the presidential Secret Service staff is being reduced by 90% by laying off older personnel. Additionally personnel will be unarmed and will not carry communications equipment. The black Chevy Suburban vehicles will be replaced with powder blue Chevy Volts.
