Obama: Grab second chance on immigration
Orlando Sentinel ^ | June 28, 2007 | U.S. Sen. Barack Obama

Posted on 06/28/2007 8:38:38 AM PDT by H8LIBERALS

"Immigration is certainly a difficult issue. When we first tried to fix the system last year, it was a time when hundreds of thousands of immigrants were protesting in the streets, while self-proclaimed vigilantes known as the Minutemen were rushing to defend our Southern border. In Congress, a good-faith attempt at reform that I helped construct passed the Senate but ultimately failed in the heat of election-year politics..."

Obama-Jama is a self-proclaimed socialist.

Obama is a race card player. Without a doubt. He is also a socialist liberal. He can go “vigilante” himself. Just another empty-suit limosine liberal — go pound sand.

I am so glad he said this.

Now I can safely say I would not vote for him even if he became a Republican.

If the government of the people, by the people, and for the people will NOT enforce the laws of the land, the people MUST. Obama is a loud mouth kid with zero grasp of his job. He along with the other congress critters have violated their oath of office and have nothing to say.

self-proclaimed vigilantes

Well, that's what vigilantes are by nature, arent they? Self proclaimed? Is there something other than self proclaimed vigilantes? Like a government office for vigilantes? Do vigilantes fill out government forms to become vigilantes and/or get badges?

The Minutemen do not impose any sentences or carry out extralegal punishments for acts they may believe to be criminal.
We must not allow Obama or any other sympathizers with illegal alien invaders to redefine “vigilante.”

I guess BO isn’t so articulate after all.

They don’t call themselves vigilantes, so they aren’t “self-proclaimed.”

He probably meant “self-appointed.”

But “self-appointed vigilante” is redundant.

the Minutemen were rushing to defend our Southern border.

Well, somebody had to. Who else was going to do it? The government?

Hillary has to have SOMEBODY to run against for the dem nomination, so I’m sure they had a meeting and said—”Every president ever elected has been an older white male, so could you beat a black male?”

and she probably thought and said.. “no, I don’t think I could.”

“Well, how about if his name is Barak Hussein Obama and we’re fighting a war against Islam?”

“hmmm... no, I don’t think I could beat him.”

“Well, how about if he admitted to doing pot and cocaine in his autobiography and you can tear him down right before the election, and his warchest will go to the DNC and filtered over to you!”

“You know, that just might work...”

If ever there was someone that met the criteria for a waste of $5 worth of chemicals it’s this empty suit retard.

The Militiamen are doing their part to stem the flow of illegal wetbacks into this country. What is he and his fellow liberals and RINO’s doing to stop it? Granting all of them a get out of jail free card. BULL$HIT, round them all up and ship them back to Meh-hi-co 100 to a cattle truck and threaten them with death if they ever try to return.

Fortunately, in the Letters to the Editor next to Obama-sama’s article in today’s Sentinel, three writers blast the illegal alien amnesty deal. Makes Obama-sama piece look real silly.

This man should never be President

Illegal aliens are "immigrants" and the Minutemen are "vigilantes." Only in the alternate universe which is DemocratWorld.

No. You need to formally apply to be a vigilante else you will be an undocumented vigilante.

The historical vigilantes brought law enforcement to areas and situations where the government failed or was not present. The Hollywood "vigilantes" on the other hand were portrayed as a lynch mob. Typical leftist distortion.: "Let the elites run things."
