Minutemen, Mexico, the sell out

If they were expendable, then so are we

There is growing concern that agents of the United States government, most likely in the Department of Homeland Security, are passing information to the Mexican leadership explaining where the Minutemen are operating at specific times and places.

And I am getting about ready, if this is true, to begin mimicking Peter Finch and stroll to the nearest window here at the Honey B Ranch, pushing the pets out of the way, sliding it open and hollering that I'm not going to take it anymore.

If there is an iota of truth to these charges, and I have no reason not to trust Michelle Malkin, who has never let me down yet, our country has completely lost its path and we've, as they say in the part of Texas where my folks live, "come unhorsed."

When our central leadership decides to rat out our citizenry for providing services which they are utterly failing to provide--in this case, the common defense, a clearly delineated service to be provided by the federal government--to a foreign country, which may place the citizens involved at a greater risk and serve to provide the law-breakers the Minutemen are attempting to corral with intelligence enabling them to skirt the patrols and allow them a more easy illegal passage into our country against the wishes of the vast majority of our countrymen, we have descended into a lawless and purposeful anarchy.

And I am beginning to see some horrible weaknesses in President Bush, in both parties, in all of this compassionate conservatism balderdash, in the federal law enforcement hierarchy, in Homeland Security, and in the whole rotten sordid mess in Washington, D.C., where, apparently, this uncivil, dangerous and seditious activity is currently being viewed as business as usual.

I mean beyond that already catalogued.

The actions of Mary McCarthy, who chose, singly, to supply top secret materials and to place many hundreds, perhaps thousands, at risk for sins of the ego, for vanity and for loyalty to the Democratic Party, pale in comparison to these activities.

In this case, it appears that the leadership of the United States, somewhere between the Border patrol agents, the Department of Homeland Security, and the President, is placing loyalty, almost subservience, to a shaky suspect foreign government--which has known problems with security, difficulties with drug cartels, which is knowingly supporting the emigration of millions of its own citizens, including untold thousands of violent criminals, into the United States, which has a far different view of the rule of law and it enforcement than we do--over the protection of untold millions of its own taxpaying citizens.

And who in Homeland Security would feel that they have the right to pass this information to Mexico? Where would the ability to undertake these tasks come from?

It is as if someone in the higher floors at police headquarters was tipping the criminals to my patrol patterns, allowing them to move out of my purview in a timely fashion, enabling them to continue in their nefarious activities unmolested, while my partner and I cruised our beat empty handed, while their predations on the weak continued unabated, just around the corner, on the next block or over the next rise.

In a case like this I would call to demand an investigation of Homeland Security, but knowing the raw insensate idiocy which infects the bindlestiffs and the poltroons who hang their oversized Borsalino summer weight trilby hats on the racks in the Senate, we can forget about looking into something substantive concerning a real danger facing real people today on America's southern borders, an action which might serve to pull their bloated carcasses away from easier targets like the simply outrageous profit of a dime on a three dollar gallon of gasoline and the vacuous threats of filibustering honest men in the sideshow for a small seat on a circuit court.

Will the members of the House be swayed enough to undertake a cursory review of these activities by the Department of Homeland Security, should Tom Delay's replacement be found, shaken awake and brought to? Will Mr. Hastert feel enough of a blowtorch to pull back the cheese cloth and look at the untidy curds beneath?

Will the populace be incensed to a level sufficient to kick up a fuss loud enough to be heard and to invite some small ray of light to be shown on these incredibly disturbing developments?

We are at war, and by detouring illegal aliens away from our vigilant citizens, Homeland Security is also offering aid to a like number of terrorists, who travel like lampreys on a shark. Have any of our intelligence peddlers thought of that?

These failures to protect us are taken at the highest levels of our government.

These actions against the Minutemen are betrayals of the vilest type.

And if the lives and well being of the Minutemen were so easily expendable, then so are we.

And if this story is proved false, its legs are the result of the total madness which reigns in our federal border policies.
