Another Cry From the Heart of the Southwest's War Zone

Thomason Hospital, in El Paso, Texas, Is On Lockdown 
To Protect The Badly Injured Mexican Mayors, Sheriffs, And Other Mexican Officials Taken There for Treatment

BUMPED TO THE TOP FOR THE REST OF THE DAY - SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWER POSTS

The email posted below did not come from a "militiaman" or "minuteman" or anyone out patrolling our southwestern border with a rifle trying to keep the chaos at bay. This comes from a middle-aged retired educator friend of mine, an ordinary American woman trying to live a normal life as a battle line moves relentlessly nearer to her home. This is what you won't hear from the libtard MSM, the Obama administration, the Democrats, or the Southern Poverty Law Center. This is the situation to which they are abandoning our fellow Americans, threatening them, lying about them, ridiculing them, smearing them as racists, and making cheap jokes about them as they try to protect themselves from savages.

Southwest Texas

I figured the East Coast Beltway has been hearing less than nothing about what's happening in the Southwest. I've always suspected and now have confirmed that they don't give a dam. Now we, down here, must decide how best to protect ourselves and deal with invasion from Mexico and South America.

You've probably heard people like Lettermen with all sorts of cute little East Coast remarks to make, but

The Minutemen are NOT to be dismissed. Despite all the leftwing out and out lies, not ONE single shot has ever been fired by a Minuteman. They have camcorders,

and they are documenting what is happening. These films have been sent to the authorities and ignored, lost, wave the hands, and not responded to.

GOVERNORS of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona have placed MANY requests for federal assistance with these border problems. A token is sent for a couple of weeks or this has been absolutely ignored.

People are slowly beginning to realize that Washington--that the East Coast doesn't give a damn--in fact, actually thinks the whole thing rather "funny". With that realization is coming resentment, sorrow, frustration, rage, anger, and, not too distant future, realizing that no help is coming from Washington--even though help has been sent in the past--there have been a number of times when the federal government has had to send troops down here and into Mexico to deal with the bandits--which is what all this is--but now, we are beginning to realize that no help is coming.

It's up to us, and those who act will still be law abiding good American citizens. They will be arrested and punished and lose their property for daring to try and protect it and themselves from the bandits, but those next in line, seeing what is done to the law abiding ones, will know what to do--what to expect--our country is in real danger of breaking apart.

There's an old senator from California [Pete Stark]--I watched the SOB at a townhall meeting--he's been in Washington so long--has so much money--he's out of touch--he was so contemptuous and mocking: "If I give you Minutemen some bricks and mortar, will you stop shooting immigrants and build a little wall for yourselves?"

What's happening is "funny" to him.

The person talking to him kept repeating: "We want the federal government to do what it's legally required to do and you're not doing it." Soon as that speaker fully understands that the federal government is NOT going to do anything and furthermore, doesn't give a damn, he'll know what to do.

The drug cartels, with all that money, the Mexican government hasn't the weapons or the manpower or even the will to confront these 21st century bandits.

These drug cartels even have songs composed glorifying their exploits and having them played on Mexican radio stations.

They've murdered, in broad daylight, mayors and district attorneys and those who speak out against them.

They've walked into drug rehabilitation facilities, taken the people out, 18 to 24 people--shot them dead--even children and infants.

Thomason Hospital [in El Paso, Texas] is on lockdown--so many of the badly injured Mexican mayors, sheriffs, etc. etc. are being taken there for treatment--heck, they're just down the street from where it happened.

Mexicans who are able, are fleeing to Texas, Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico--fleeing for their lives.

I watch the Mexican television stations all the time-- listen to their radio stations. They don't have limits on the "power" that is used like we do in the states. This means that Mexican television and radio, actually overpowers US signals. You watch and sometimes you can't tell if what you're seeing is Iraq or simply what's happening in Mexico--Juarez especially.

Our federal government is NOT living up to its constitutional obligations to defend and patrol our border. Decent, law abiding landowners, business owners on the border are at the mercy of criminals who come thru--even Mexican military strut thru, armed, uniformed--and you call for help and are blown off or laughed at or warned "Don't take the law into your hands.

The greatest crime of all is anything that could smack of "vigilantism"--which is actually "racism"--"you wouldn't have fussed if the bandits had been Bulgarian, after all, you know." And it's the being laughed at and mocked and ridiculed and insulted by other parts of this nation that is so hurtful and destructive.

When this happens to the Southwest or the South, perhaps the underlying opinion--unspoken of course, is that the truly intelligent and worthy are there in that magic East Coast Beltway-Washington DC, and, the rest of us, perhaps we deserve what we're getting.

Well, even the most unobservant down here are finally getting the message. Right now there's still a bit of self delusion about--people who still don't fully "get it"--sort of like the faithful loving wife of 47 years being given proof of a husband's long term infidelity and double life, but, more and more, people down here are "getting it".

Pastorius' Parting Question:

What do you think happens when the people lose all confidence that their government - the government which adds more and more taxes everyday - does not represent them, does not care about them, does not do the job we pay them to do?
