Broken Borders: Broken Promises (Simcox-Minuteman)

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.

Gullible people are easily conned by anyone spouting off about what they long to hear, I guess.

[Lurker]

They have an 800 number. Give them a call.

Since you're so concerned about possible illegal activity I'm sure you'll be reporting every single illegal alien and every single employer who hires them as well.

To do otherwise would be the most rank form of hypocrisy. Don't you agree?

I'll have some of what your doing, to slow me down. Heeheh

Zealots are the easiest to con.

The hardest part of the job is pounding the steel posts into the ground with a 20 pound post maul, unless you have access to a hydraulic post pounder. After that, the job gets easier. Like stringing the wire, cinching the wire with staples and stretching the wire until it sings.

[nopardons]

WHERE?

No such a thing has been built and it looks as though none shall be.

[CWOJackson]

Hypocrisy? LOL! You can't even recognize the complaints of numerous Minutemen volunteers while you're complaining about the MSM.

I'd avoid using that word...

[axes_of_weezles]

Rex. If you are so concerned, why dont you call one of the 3 numbers posted, or the 3 email addresses on their site and ask.

It's as simple as that.

They may be saving the money for a better fence.

[nopardons]

I do....me, me, ME.....waving both hands in the air.

For those of us not wanting to use Real Player, is there a transcript of the story, a written story on the subject or a FReeper that would care to summerize?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Maybe we're seeing the caliber of their team...in which case the 2.2 miles is an impressive feat.

Holding a steel pole up for the camera is "all in a days work". LOL

[FreeReign]

The only people Simcox legally owes any accounting to is the IRS.

Simcox has a moral obligation to account for the money to the people who donated the money.

A dope like you wouldn't understand that.

[CWOJackson]

pat and bay buchanan made an industry out of bilking the gullible. In fact bay was the big winner at the great Utah referendum on immigration...she takes her cut off the top of the donations and charges a hefty fee for her services.

Thank you!

It's too late to go through all the responses to this item, BUT:
I'll always honor Simcox et al for bringing the issue up to a level that got Congress' to take note...
I'll always remember my days with a non-profit organization and all of the fiscal pot holes it involved.
And, I don't ever remember being told that this fence was going to be anything other than a symbolic effort aimed at kick starting the US Govt....which as cited above, it seems to have done.

I also never donated a nickle...(To JR, my Freepathon check is in the mail).

[nopardons]

Oh yes, the "true believers" are a snake oil salesman's dream!

[Anti-Bubba182]

No transcript that I have seen.

L. Ron Hubbard said the easiest way to make a million (or several) was to start a religion. Bay and the Patser found another.

[BJungNan]

Thanks

[onyx]

LOL! Indeed!
