Wish I had the time to join them. Would love to do what our government won't do.

So...why don't you have the time?

It's called busy season.
If I lived closer though, I would at least spend a weekend or two helping the cause.

I would be inclined to just go ahead and kick Texas out of the union, instead of waiting for them to succeed, but then, I don't know what would happen to my source of bullshit for my rose garden.

Texas has already succeeded as a fine place to live, but I think you may mean secede from the union.

Armed Right-Wing Militias Amassing Along Texas Border With State Lawmaker's Blessing | ThinkProgress

For much of the summer, right-wing militiamen have gathered near the Texas-Mexico border, many of them claiming that they are there as part of something called “Operation Secure Our Border.” They include members of a movement that President George W. Bush denounced as “vigilantes,” and they also include members of even more radical groups that promote wild conspiracy theories and that explicitly threaten violence against the government.

And now, they have the blessing of a sitting Texas lawmaker. After touring the Rio Grande Valley near the border, Republican state Rep. Doug Miller claimed that the militias “have a right to be there” and that they “are not currently a problem.” According to Miller, he was told that the militias “are on private property, helping ranchers and owners to keep illegals coming onto or through their property … and there haven’t been any problems.”

Miller is not the highest-ranking Texas official who has dismissed criticism of armed vigilantes patrolling the Texas border. Late last month, the 12 Democratic members of Texas’ congressional delegation penned a letter to Greg Abbott, the state’s attorney general and the Republican candidate to be Texas’ next governor. In it, the 12 lawmakers quote a militia leader who said that “You see an illegal. You point your gun dead at him, right between the eyes, and you say, ‘Get back across the border or you will be shot.’” They also ask Abbott to “denounce the actions of these militia groups and clarify the jurisdiction these militia groups have to patrol alongside local law enforcement and Border Patrol agents.”

A spokesperson for Abbott dismissed the letter as a “partisan political stunt.”

...

On his personal blog, Vanderboegh explained that one of the Three Percenter movement’s core beliefs is a willingness to offer violent resistance to the government:

We intend to maintain our God-given natural rights to liberty and property, and that means most especially the right to keep and bear arms. Thus, we are committed to the restoration of the Founders’ Republic, and are willing to fight, die and, if forced by any would-be oppressor, to kill in the defense of ourselves and the Constitution that we all took an oath to uphold against enemies foreign and domestic.

We are the people that the collectivists who now control the government should leave alone if they wish to continue unfettered oxygen consumption. We are the Three Percent. Attempt to further oppress us at your peril.

To put it bluntly, leave us the hell alone.

Or, if you feel froggy, go ahead AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS.

How many will end up arrested for murder?

That would depend on what is interpreted as the true definition of murder as compared to killing someone.

It would depend on the political climate and the media's outrage or lack of outrage. Bill Ayers was guilty of felony murder and about a hundred other felonies when the last bomb his anarchist club made went off prematurely and killed his girlfriend instead of Ft. Dix Soldiers.

Years ago the accepted left wing agenda for changing the political system consisted of bombing corporate headquarters, Police Departments, Judges homes, and Military recruitment centers. Bill Ayers wasn't even imprisoned. The radical left even justified the murder of about 500 citizens when the Rodney King verdict didn't go as planned. Now they whine about Americans demonstrating along the mexican border. What a difference a chicken shit socialist generation makes.

Why do you think that is?

So..you make a choice.

So, he went to trial and was convicted?

And my choice is, I stay and do my duty as a father, and work hard.

If I lived closer, or was retired, I'd be there to lend what support I could.

Yes.

Sounds good, is Obama going to tell them to disband and draw a red line against their behavior?

sez the little boy who lives with his mommy and daddy in suburbia

I own my own house, my girlfriend and her son live with me...

You own your own house? Since when?

 

[LoneLaugher]

[He could have stayed on mommy and daddys plan until he was 26, Sounds like suffolk community college was to tough for the little guy

Also I went to Stony Brook University for mathematics and I completed my Bachelors, and am now considering going into engineering. I also got a second job, although both jobs combine net more than my first job did before Obamacare, I do have to work about 20 more hours than I used to (60 hour work weeks instead of 48 hours on average).

Also if you continue to attack attack me falsely on a personal level, I'll have you banned like several others who have tried the same.

You've had people banned? Whoa! We'd better watch out!

Not attacking but your stories have changed over the months

Which part changed?

Since I took care of my grandfather for three years while he passed away. My aunt helped a lot towards the end too, so when she loses her house, I'm going to let her live with us (my grandmother still lives here too).

Let's make something clear. You do not have the power to "have" anyone banned.

I would suggest you stop claiming that you do.

This is troubling, where a republican official is refusing to at least acknowledge the legitimate concerns of lawmakers and investigate the issue, regardless how politically embarrassing it might prove for republicans and conservatives.

Over the weekend unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, the same guy who bombed the Capitol and the Pentagon, tried to distance himself from the radical Muslim Boston bombers by saying the kind of bombing he did is totally different than the kind of bombing he did back in the day.

Wish I had the time to join them. Would love to do what our government won't do.

Which would be what, exactly.

The government is doing exactly what it is authorized to do in accordance with Federal immigration law.

Obviously you want the government to violate the law and ignore the Constitution.

This doesn't make any sense.

There is no 'cause.'

Unless your 'cause' is to violate the law and end up in Federal prison.

Is everything you say a lie? You lie about firearms control and now lie about what the Government should be doing on the border.
