Reply #14: Drunken, clueless fools or true Patriots [View All]

[EtJ]

Bridget, have you followed any of the links that I provided, or just have a stance of they are drunken, clueless fools ?? Any sources for your thoughts ?? A little more on my end: "Simcox said he stands for the same thing that Mark Twain said, "In the beginning of change, the patriot is a brave and scarce man, hated and scorned. When the cause suceeds, however, the timid join him…for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."

If Gilchrist and Simcox were worried about volunteers, they need not be. Retired colonels, majors, captains and sergeants are signing up by the day. Ordinary citizens offer their presence in this project. If the Mexican government thinks it can sidestep our well-trained military veterans from the Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force—they’ve got another thought coming."

A touch more: "There are rare times in American history when citizens must take action to do the jobs that elected leaders won’t do. The Minute Man Project promises to be the next Boston Tea Party beginning on April 1, 2005.

What happened December 17, 1773? It was a date that few legal immigrants or illegal aliens know about or understand. How did that notorious moment occur in American history? Who caused it? What was the result?

The Boston Tea Party blasted into the news and across the Atlantic Ocean and into the halls of British Parliament because a bunch of American rednecks and "proud of it" patriots were sick and tired of the British Tea tax. They stormed the gangplanks on three ships in Boston harbor while tossing bags of tea overboard. As they say, "Conviction without action is worthless.""
I agree there are two sides of the coin. My hats go off to this group for they are doing something, not just sitting at a keypad, having an opinion, but little else. At least they are a group of action. Something America needs at this time. Bridget all I can ask is for you to look at the other side of the coin, there is more there, than meets the eye, and the ear.
