Thread: Minuteman Jim Gilchrist calls for revolution, wealth sharing

Anti-immigrant sentiment has once again reached a fevered pitch across America. From California to the New York Island, many self-proclaimed protectors of the homeland are rejecting the creed of the Woody Guthrie song that was once taught to America’s school children: “this land is my land, this land is your land…this land was made for you and me.�

The slant on these 'interviews' is insulting and outrageous. Good thing that SOB was talking to a patient Gilchrist and not me!!
