This is complete governmental malpractice. Protecting our borders is one of the few things specifically stated in the Constitution that government must do. It is the duty of all politicians to meet this requirement. They swear an oath when they take office protect us and the Constitution. ANDÖthey donít for so many of own self-interests. This violence is completely out of control and will continue and will spread further into the U.S. until we enforce the current laws we have and send a message to Mexico we are not going to subsidize your workers with our benefits, ie. Social Security, Medicare, Welfare, etc. This is complete insanity on how we are handling this issue.

TEXAS MILITIA ON LEVEL 3 ALERT
ALERT LEVEL 3
Texas State Sen. Dan Patrick, was on Fox News this morning at 8:45am. He said he had some “breaking news to share”. Boy, was it!
The Texas State Legislature had been trying hard to get the Obama Administration to respond to a critical situation on the Texas Border. The Administration had not gotten back with Texas as of last night. So the State of Texas told Washington D.C. basically they could “go jump, and we’ll take care of Texas!.”
As of last night, the Texas National Guard has been put on High Alert!!! This is the first time in history!! Texas tried, desperately to get Washington’s approval but, when they could not get it, they acted on their own. It’s about F@k#$n time! We applaud the courage & the guts it took to defy the Feds and to act in our best interests! Sen. Dan Patrick spelled it out nicely on FoxNews:
1) 100’s of PRO-DRUG CARTEL Mexicans were blocking the entrance to the United States, yesterday and today, banging cars, shouting and holding signs. Ten people were killed Wed. and 12 more yesterday at the border (5 of which were children!). They used TWO BAZOOKAS yesterday as well. They are heavily armed.
2) They aren’t sure … but they think the Drug Cartel is paying the demonstrators to do what they’re doing.
3) This will spill over into the United States! Mr. Patrick and the other State officials are convinced that road-side bombs and car bombs will make it across the border and they CANNOT allow that to happen!!
4) Mexico is breaking out in Civil War in the western part of the border and they expect it to spread the entire border with no end in sight.
5) The National Guard will be activated as the scenario worsens and is on Alert now and will remain so until Washington does something to end the danger on our border.
WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL MILITIAS GO TO ALERT LEVEL 3

Just remember – this war is completely caused by and funded by the United States of America. Our insatiable appetite for drugs finances the cartels (both Mexican and Colombian) and our foreign aid funds the Mexican “war on drugs.” If the pea-brained American populace would stopping getting stoned, none of this would be happening.

It reminds of how Islamic fanatic groups a/k/a Hizbullah kidnapped and killed Americans in Beirut. Members of the terror group came from areas that grew and still growing hashish and opium in addition of dealing different sorts of drugs to finance their terror activities.In the early days, Hizbullah gained much notoriety through the kidnappings of several westerners by one of its fringe groups.
They worked and still working with drug dealers, gangs and different terror groups to spread more and gain more.
They have different tactics and strategic planning to make America and the West kneel for them i.e. eliminate them.
Investigate more and go deep and we shall see that it is all connected.
There objective is to create kiosk which will lead to an unstable situation for the take over.
To stop them, we need powerful people with intelligent minds to lead the law enforcement agencies away from political influence.
For sure Janet Napolitano is not, neither are some others.
REPLACE HER WITH DEBBIE OR RICHARD CONVERTINO. Eventually they will lead this country to safety.
THEY ARE HERE. WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE OUR END.

Listening to this punk Cooper he seems to be fixated on an assault gun ban. He believes this is the ticket to stop the narco war in Mexico. So lets get his logic straight. Mexico bans guns and they have endless crime by cartels. Americas keeps assault guns legal and their are no rampant cartels. So he wants assault guns banned to make sure Mexico cant get assault guns into Mexico. We must give up our sovereignty to appease Mexico’s problem. Just more insane liberal logic. It is ironic how Cooper want to stop weapons from going into Mexico, but has no interest in drugs or illegal aliens from coming in.
J.NO talks a big game but wont do anything and with KING HUSSEIN COBRAMA they are worthless. She aint gonna do sh*t. She will not be respected by Cartels and like most criminals they see her demeanor as a weakness. To them a lesbian is doing a man’s job. She is the face of securing our homeland. It would be hilarious if it weren’t so sad. She will try and strip Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio of his power to go after illegal aliens with the use of rule 287g. Wednesday she will have hearing to dismantle rule 287g which has been effective in combating illegal immigration in police and sheriff departments across the country.

As Joe says, “If they want to use me as a poster boy across the nation, my message is, ‘We’re not backing down.'”
As the cartels toughen up, America continue to zip its pants in the back.

That’s no lesbonic woman. That’s a wax figure. Just because it’s a lesbo doesn’t mean it has to have a flat affect. Is there anyone alive in there?

yeah, the drumbeat is on to ban so-called “assault weapons”, and the media is the willing stooge.
look at Anderson Cooper, showing pictures of machine guns, grenades, and rocket launchers, then claiming that 90% of the weapons come from the US. what a bald-faced lie.
and of course, almost NO ONE wants to talk about the real solution – legalize drugs in the US and Mexico and the damned violence will dissappear overnight!
but, we can’t have people getting high can we? no, the war on (some) drugs must continue, even though it is killing civil liberties and civilization.

Hello Debbie Schlussel and All
This is nothing new to me because I listen to Rick Roberts down in San Diego through the net at http://www.760kfmb.com/.
Every week he has a segment called THIS WEEK IN MEXICO where he reports what has happened in 1 week in mexico.

What seriously troubles me regarding the ban on assault rifles is it’s bogus from the start. Though an AK-47 or M-16 types of weapons sold in gun stores look like assault weapons on the outside…they aren’t. Those weapons firing mechanesism is a semi-automatic, just like several hand guns. These weapons don’t fire bullets continually while the trigger is pulled and kept in that position. Only one bullet will come out per pulling the trigger. Therefore, these weapons in appearance only look like what the military carries. Or would be construed as a machine gun. If we head down this road. Then who’s to stop the government from banning hand guns which are semi-automatic. All semi-automatic means, is that when the gun is fired. The gun is automatically chambered with a bullet to be fired again when a person is ready to pull the trigger again.
And while on this subject. It’s the bullet that causes the most destructive damage. That is, many hunting rifles like a Marlin Lever 30-30 or 30-06 bullet has much more destructive stopping power, as well as doing more damage. Then a M-16 or AK-47 thats sold in gun stores. A m-16 uses a .223 caliber bullet, which is a bit bigger than a .22 caliber. Yes, the cartiage is larger (longer) holding more gun powder. But, this enables the bullets trajector to go a longer distance and be more accurate at far distances. Many hunting rifles will do far more damage than these so-called assault weapons. Once you begin to ban certain kinds of weapons. You have to begin to think where does this ban stop…if it stops at all.
Some people would contend why does someone even need an assault rifle. Well, I can think of many reasons. Many people just enjoy shooting this type of weapon at a target. Others, want it for self-defence which is perfectly fine. Since people have other types of guns for self defense. And these times, I would suggest to people to get an assault type of weapon, so you can defend yourself and your families interest. What if our nation was suddenly invaded at a massive scale. I would definitely want to be armed adequeately to say the least to defend myself and my family. The 2nd Amendment is quiet clear. And Obama or anyone else has no right to interrpet the constitution to fit their agenda. Our govt. has to stop interrpeting the laws and stand by in how they are written.
