Minutemen: What the Fuck?
Perhaps you’ve been hearing about the Minutemen, the volunteer militia that kicked off a month-long stakeout at the border crossing at British Columbia on Saturday. Here’s a KING 5 report about ‘em, and a quote, “[The Minutemen] say they are doing what they believe our border security has failed to do: keep illegal immigrants out of the United States.”
From the Minuteman website:
“The Minuteman Project is not a call to arms, but a call to voices seeking a peaceful and respectable resolve to the chaotic neglect by members of our local, state and federal governments charged with applying U.S. immigration law…Accordingly, the men and women volunteering for this mission are those who are willing to sacrifice their time, and the comforts of a cozy home, to muster for something much more important than acquiring more ‘toys’ to play with while their nation is devoured and plundered by the menace of tens of millions of invading illegal aliens.”
At the top of each page of the site is this quote: “MMP has no affiliation with, nor will we accept any assistance by or interference from, separatists, racists, or supremacy groups or individuals, no matter what their race, color, or creed.” But then there’s the group’s, uh, colorful reporting on the recent immigration marches:
“Occupying Army of Illegal Aliens Make Their Demands! The invaders demand all U.S. citizenship rights and privileges without pledging allegiance to the Red White and Blue, however many did pledge allegiance to the Red, White and Green. What was the response from Capitol Hill? Many cowardly Senators voted to give-in to the screaming hordes and passed treasonous legislation. Once again politicians surrender to the biggest thugs with the biggest clubs!”
For more, go here. For now, enjoy this tidbit from KING 5:
“They are out to get us, we know that,” said Tom Williams of the Washington Minuteman Detachment. Asked who “they” are, he said, “the enemies of our country, the al Qaida, whoever wants to come in and do our country harm.”
No word on what a Minuteman does when confronted by an enemy in action, but the group professes a commitment to nonviolence and lawful action. Stay tuned.
Whoa, except for that last insane quote, everything you just posted makes me really respect what they are doing more than I could have previously imagined.
They still look so silly, hanging out in their pickups next to the border.
By the way, are liberals for illegal immigration now? I didn't think so until all the fuss about immigration in the last few weeks. Like, shouldn't we take care of our own people first?
