Liberals Man Up for Minutemen
Jan 31st, 2008 by Mark
OK I must admit I did not see this coming. The ACLU and some local commentators have sided with the Minutemen over the CALTRANS “relocation” issue.
Roger Hedgecock’s sidekick gets it right
It is a little strange that folks who are mostly uninvited guests in our country can determine who can clean up beside a roadway in America. Wonder what would happen if a van dropped off a bunch of SDMM folks along that roadside and then drove off and the dropped off folks started picking up trash? Can you get jail time for being environmentally friendly? We guess in the New America you can. (You vil have health insurance).
Liberal San Diego Union-Tribune says it’s garbage that the Government agency CALTRANS moved the Minutemen from a stretch of highway for the Adopt-A-Highway program near the Border Patrol Checkpoint.
Caltrans’ error was in granting the volatile checkpoint location to the Minutemen, not the permit itself.
Interesting take. This assumes that Caltrans should police the placement of groups based upon some hypothetical “offense” that may occur. This is idiot.
Caltrans has taken down the Minutemen sign near the checkpoint and offered the self-appointed border rangers a less controversial location: a stretch of state Route 52, near Santee.
Jeff Schwilk of Vista, the San Diego Minutemen’s spokesman, professed to be “frankly dumbfounded” by Caltrans’ switcheroo. The hard-line group is reportedly planning a lawsuit to regain the coveted checkpoint site.
No surprise there. In the running border war, no side seems to miss an opportunity to exploit an opportunity to cry foul.
So standing up for themselves is about scoring political points? See, that’s the attitude of the U-T. They dislike the Minutemen and love the reconquista movement.
So in that reporters mind it’s not that they moved them, it’s that “allowed” them to be there in the first place. I wonder what he would say if it was a “latino” group that was cleaning up there?
Have you had enough of this?
