If you are referring to something else ... fine and good ... it's lost on me. Either way, your efforts to demonize and down talk what these people are doing are very weak IMHO. Like how a smudge of dust pales in comparison to the glow of diamonds.
These people are willing to take great risk to do what they feel is right for our nation. Against an issue where current policies have admittedly failed, even admitted by their detractors. They neither asked for, or expect your support. They are going to do it out of the conviction of their hearts and IMHO, the situation warrants it ... just like the situation at Klamath warranted it.
If, in other areas, you have taken great personal risk to defend and protect this nation and our liberty ... then I applaud you for that and urge you to then try and project that conviction that you displayed onto the actions of these folks and at least show some respect.
If you never have ... then you should really think about doing so. No one who has never taken great risk to defend liberty can ever know the measure or the sweetness of what true liberty really means. They may enjoy the fruits thereof (which is fine) but they can never know the full measure of what it takes, or what it means IMHO.
Absolutely Jeff. I am looking to the day when this happens in California ... when it does I'm planning on spending a little time on the border.
I stand by what I said. Both issues were alive and well prior to Bush's election and in both cases there were no in your face confrontations with the government until a Republican president was in office and Reno was safely out of the way.
