Maybe They Are Cowards

The citizens of this country are fed up with the so called
"leadership" rationed out to us in combating illegal immigration. We
scratch our wooden heads and hope they are merely incompetent rather
than corrupt and compromised.

To be sure there are those who fit into both categories. But I've
decided mostly they are cowards. Smart cowards, by the way.
Political correctness is the sheep's clothing this coward wolf wears
best.

Why not? Who in their right mind would want to take the trashing
that the Minutemen, Tom Tancredo, Michelle Malkin, Lou Dobbs and
millions of other respected voices have had at the hands of the 5%
minority open border lobby.

An elderly lady attends a peaceful rally and gets sent to the hospital
after a violent pro open border protester assaulted her.

The minutemen went to Campo, California and were physically stopped by
aggressive Latino activists from gathering at a public place where
they had been invited. The "law" did nothing.

Where was the outrage?

Governor Arnold proclaims "close the border" and then back tracks when
a few militant hispanic (tax supported) "non profits" whine and cry.

A town is plagued with "day laborers" crowded on street corners, but
instead of enforcing the law, they use taxpayer dollars to build a
shelter. No one's going to call those folks "racist".

George Bush isn't so dumb that he doesn't realize he would be as big a
target as Jim Gilchrist if he stood up for what is right for this
country. Unlike Jim Gilchrist, and the others who will admit this
problem, President Bush is not willing to face the wrath of those who
mock our laws.

It's much safer calling good American citizens "vigilantes". It's
more than frightening to think the only people who are given voice by
most of our lawmakers are the ones they know to be lawbreakers,
violent and dangerous or biased groups with an arsenal of lawyers
behind them.

"Citizen-of-the-world types are resistant to the idea of tightening
our borders, and especially resistant to the idea of making a
distinction between people from different countries. But the real
problem is not their self-righteous fetishes but the fact that they
have intimidated so many other people into silence."~ Thomas Sowell


"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude
greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in
peace. We seek not your council, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the
hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our country men."
- Samuel Adams
