Armed Racists Converge on Mexican Border

[Parallax]

And who exactly would that be? The Democrats are just as bad if not worse on border security issues and the Libertarians are the worst of all with their ridiculous open border policy.

And the Republicrats and Demopublicans don't also have an open border policy?

I'd say the Libertarians are the best when it comes to the border. A large part of the problem is the welfare system, which the Libertarians want to get rid of. Most of those people are just coming here to work. If we allow them to come in legally we can do a much better job of making sure they're not terrorists or anything like that. The R & D's sure as hell aren't doing anything about it, and many of the "solutions" they're proposing could be a serious threat to our rights.

In order to understand the Libertarian border policy, you have to look at it in context. They want open borders in a society with no welfare of any sort, and no drug war to give rise to smuggling.

When looked at in this context, I think it makes perfect sense.

The headline on the website is pretty inflammatory I have to admit.

Hi everyone!

Woo, first post.

The headline doesn't call them armed racists.

I think it is somewhat slanted but at the same time, it makes the guys calling the patriots racists seem like crazies for throwing the term around like that. That's just my thought though.

When looked at in this context, I think it makes perfect sense.

Only if perfect sense includes allowing armies of non-citizens to pour across our borders to utilize non-welfare services they haven't contributed to paying for and which cannot be denied in good conscience. Services like emergency medical care, education, police, fire, etc.

There is a universe of costs associated with unregulated immigration that have nothing whatsoever to do with the attrativeness of a welfare check or with the drug trade.

What a sad day it will be when the only pro-RKBA candidate on the ballot is a Libertarian candidate with a nonsensical "open-borders" agenda.

Didn't that already happen just a few months ago?

"Fair and Balanced" means showing BOTH sides to an issue and letting "You Decide". It does NOT mean just showing the story that you want to hear. That would be the exact opposite of "balanced". Imagine one of those old fashioned scales (like the blind statue of justice has). In order for the scale to be balanced it must have an equal amount of weight on both sides (left and right).

You're right, unless the Constitution Party was on the ballot in your State along with the Libertarians.

You mean the Theocracy Party? They scare the **** out of me... I'd sooner vote Democrat.

Au contraire. Statism is the religion of the Democrat Party, no less dangerous and very possibly much more evil.

Okay, Let's Change the Name

Alrighty then, let's change the name from "Minuteman Project" to "Neighborhood Watch on the Border". Simple. Change of concept from a militia-sounding type name to a "Hey, that's not so bad...In fact it's a GOOD IDEA" type of name.

 

[Shooter 2.5]

Get rid of the dem party and the Republicans won't have to worry about the votes along the border.

We had a bunch of socialists for the last eight years. We now have a moderate. Why would we go back to letting the dem party anti gun socialists back into power?

 

[agricola]

FOX in "might not be telling the whole truth" shock!!!!!

Fair and Balanced does not mean that it tells the truth, it means that it lies equally to both sides; pretty much all of News International's dependents share that common theme of untrustworthyness - witness the Sun, Times and Sky News in this country, which are as bad when it comes to telling whoppers. However, after what happened with Al Franken you have to at least credit Fox with making everybody laugh.

 

[nero45acp]

Both the republicans and the Democrats have sold out on the immigration issue in an attempt to pander to the hispanic vote.

Fox news is neither fair or balanced. It is biased to the right, as CNN, CBS, ABC, and others are biased to the left. All do a disservice to the field of journalism, and their audience. Better to obtain one's news and info from a broad range of sources and try to discern the truth from the whole, than rely on any one biased source.

[Crosshair]

I voted Libertarian last election, I have to say they seem to actualy have a grip on reality.

 

[2nd Amendment]

Fair and Balanced does not mean that it tells the truth, it means that it lies equally to both sides;

We're talking about FOX, not CBS or The Guardian...

I Think it's funny

I have read so many posts on THR about morals, guns, and country that make the Constitution party sound right up our alley. Yet when someone starts a political party based on those very precepts we get "they scare hell out of me". From what I understand of them they want to go back to the basic Constitution, get government off the backs of the people, and see to it that all laws are the same for everybody, big and small alike. What's wrong with that. Oh yeah, they have a strong christian ethic.

From www.ConstitutionParty.com:

Drug Abuse

The Constitution Party will uphold the right of states and localities to restrict access to drugs and to enforce such restrictions. We support legislation to stop the flow of illegal drugs into the United States from foreign sources. As a matter of self-defense, retaliatory policies including embargoes, sanctions, and tariffs, should be considered.

Pornography

Pornography, at best, is a distortion of the true nature of sex created by God for the procreative union between one man and one woman in the holy bonds of matrimony, and at worst, is a destructive element of society resulting in significant and real emotional, physical, spiritual and financial costs to individuals, families and communities. We call on our local, state and federal governments to uphold our cherished First Amendment right to free speech by vigorously enforcing our laws against obscenity to maintain a degree of separation between that which is truly speech and that which only seeks to distort and destroy.

:banghead:

 

[buzz_knox]

At least he admits it. He said right there that he is against enforcing the law in a rational way.

Cute. Totally inaccurate on its face, but cute.

 

[RomanKnight]

AFAIK, free e/immigration is the only issue to take up with the Liberarians. They don't want .gov intervention in pretty much anything. You can do whatever you want, EXCEPT when it interferes with other people's life, liberty, and justly acquired property. I will take that platform any day, over the propagenda and lies from the Republicrats and Demopublicans. It seems it would be much easier to change libertarian platform in regard to immigration (should we choose to), than to make our elected officials from the current one party system obey the oath they had taken.

 

[SLCDave]

Just "Google" the name "Armando Navarro", and see who the racist is...

 

[TallPine]

The Libertarians "open border" policy would actually make more logical sense than what we have now: a set of laws that are only barely enforced but which entices Mexicans to sneak and trample across private property rather than just coming in on the road.

Under the present circumstances - with our welfare state and the terrorists threats - I do not agree with an open border, but the current border/immigration situation is just ridiculous.

 

[Parallax]

Terrorists can just sneak over the border anyway, so it really doesn't matter if we have an "open borders" policy or not.

With a Libertarian government, we wouldn't have a welfare problem, and we wouldn't have foreign terrorist threats either.
