Bolinas residents answer call to arms, join border militias…? [FR mention]

Has Bolinas gone Tea Party? That’s what one nationally known uber conservative seems to think—as Free Republic founder Jim Robinson claimed recently that residents of the quirky beachfront enclave had enlisted in the ranks of the Texas border militias on the patrol for illegals. Robinson, writing on the Free Republic website last week about “defend(ing) the border” to “protest Obama’s lawless open borders policies,” name checked the hippy-ish coastal community in his fight to protect America from, if recent headlines are any indication, thousands of desperate children fleeing poverty in the Hispanic third world.

“We have independent units from the Bolinas Border Patrol and the Central Valley Citizens militia joining forces with independent citizens militia units of Texas to defend our southern border in Texas,” boasted Robinson. Robinson, who founded the Free Republic internet forum in 1997, and has become a Tea Party muckraker of sorts, might seem a strange bedfellow to be linked with the BBP.

The Bolinas Border Patrol, of course, is the tongue-in-cheek name of the residents who tear down the road signs leading to Bolinas...

[Jim Robinson]

We are independent units of the all volunteer (tongue-in-cheek) Bolinas Border Patrol and we have the hats and t-shirts to prove it (however suspicious the acquisition of same may be). In truth, we are the Usal Beach Division of the Bolinas Border Patrol with some independent units bearing allegiance to Bodega Bay and we even have a couple landlubbers aboard.

[Jim Robinson]

Woo hoo!! Got our name on the cover of the Pacific Sun!!

Go, Bolinas Border Patrol, GO!!

Maybe tongue-in-cheek now for that hippie enclave, but drop off a bus load of MS-13s, I mean “border children” (sorry), and they will turn Tea Party immediately.

(been there a number of times myself, by the way - if you want a salad at their one restaurant, the waitress pulls some weeds from the front lawn...well it looks that way, at least)

[Dacula]

Nice job Jim. Hopefully we will get more money for the FReepathon.

Can I buy the hat on eBay?

[Vendome]

Go Bodega Bay!!!!

To All:

The term muckraker refers to reform-minded journalists who wrote largely for all popular magazines and continued a tradition of investigative journalism reporting; muckrakers often worked to expose social ills and corporate and political corruption.

Just in case anyone was under the wrong impression for that word...muckraker.

We drove through Bolinas once back in '83 on a trip to Usal Beach. Had sandwiches at the deli there. Camped that night just off the road behind a tree on Tomales Bay. Drove up the Usal Trail the next day. It had been raining for a couple weeks and the road was a muddy mess.

We're also honorary members of the Bodega Volunteer Fire Department. Our official jobs are to consume large quantities of chicken, tri-tip and beer at their annual barbecues.

Wear it with pride, Jim. Booyah!

[Jim Robinson]

Mucking the rake, er, Raking the muck is a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it.

[Foundahardheadedwoman]

Well Jim you must be doing something right down there if they are concerned enough to write about it. Whatever you are doing, keep it up, they are worried.
