“We must seal more than just the drug routes being used, our borders should be absolutely sovereign and inviolate, there should be no question as to where the border is nor what the resulting crossing of that border will incur… “

Indeed. But how do we get our political masters to aquiesce to the will of the people (every damned poll I’ve seen says Americans want this shit stopped) when all they listen to are lobbyists and Mass Media Podpeople? When the American people continue to elect to office those whose agendas include surrendering our sovreignty?

*sigh*

As to the Iraq adventure endangering the U.S. by occupying too many of our military elsewhere… The administration’s Iraq adventure is using about 1/10 of our military. (Yeh, I know: I’m including the Navy which doesn’t have a large role in the Iraq adventure). The numbers are there so why are we stretched so thin and servicemen having their tours extended, etc.?

Because we are also committed in other places where the committment has ceased to make sense. (Why the hell are we still in Germany and South Korea?!?)

Because the military is top-heavy, Way, way top-heavy. (And Pournelle’s Iron Law applies here, as well as to the following point.)

Because far too many in the military are in administrative roles, churning paper to generate more paper to require more paper-pushers to churn more paper…

Take every other brass hat and every other paper-pucher and send THEM into the field. Oops. Disaster. Because too many of them (not all–perhaps not even a large number–by any means!) wouldn’t cut it, but just be endangering others in the field.

Oh, I don’t know what I’m talking about. That’s obvious. Right? Right…

*sigh*

GuyK, re: Another alien invasion rally. A couple of my posts last year on the topic have resulted some real insight into the mindset of those who sympathize with alien invaders through the comments on those posts. Venal, subliterate, entitlement enthusiasts. Almost all liars, too. Imagine: folks who are so “proud” of their Mexican heritage that they do everything possible to leave the counbtry they are so proud of… with the goal of dragging this country down to the level of the country they left. Liars, thieves, in no way honorable or admirable.

My pastor wants to start a mission to the hispanics in our county. Well and good… as long as the message of Romans 13 and 1Peter 4 on obeying the law are included. Hallelujah! Revival resulting in mass self-deportation of new Christians whose hearts have convicted them that they are to obey the law!

Not gonna happen. (To be fair, how many Chtistian church members–or pastors!– have broken the speed limits on the way to church? *heh*)

WTF are our leaders thinking?

Why are they allowing this Shit to take place?

I’m done and fried trying to figure this all out…why won’t they do something about our border?
