A reporter on the scene observed a group of Minuteman acting like racist jerks that just caught the “enemy,†(five unarmed thirsty, cold and hungry illegal immigrants huddled together in the desert night air.) He said that the Minutemen were glad handing each other, and laughing it up over the great sport, so that one might have suspected that they had just captured Al Qaeda terrorists, or possibly a wounded lion. When other reporters arrived on the scene the good old’ boys stopped the back slapping and returned to the PC posturing.

The reporter stated that the captured border crossers wore light wind breakers and were freezing. No one offered them water, food, a blanket or a jacket to protect them from the cold. The reporter said it was one of those moments when he felt embarrassed to be labeled American.

Yet there are those in the media who want to project an image of the Minutemen as generally patriotic Americans serving their country. If they sincerely wanted to do their patriotic duty, they would be marching in the streets demanding the impeachment of the entire current administration, but we know that this is not what the Minutemen are about, don’t we?

A reporter on the radio said that while there was a yahoo element among the Minutemen, he claimed that the majority were regular Mom and Pop “Rockwell painting” Americans. The regular Moms and Pops are at home making a living for their families; they are not out in the desert in the middle of the night playing childish war games. It is like paint ball on steroids or a chance to play war for those who have never had to fight in a real one.

There’s nothing quite so schadenfreud-making as a marginally-literate, illogical ignoramus arguing for white superiority…

This is the moment that NAFTA falls. All we have to do is point to the brown hordes, turn to the corporatists in both parties, and proclaim: “Behold what you have wrought!”

They promised NAFTA was going to bring prosperity and a burgeoning middle class to Mexico. Instead (like so many of their market fundamentalist policies), it concentrated wealth and bankrupted the country’s middle class.

In short, they’ve already done to Mexico what they’re fixing to do to us. And this debate is the moment where we get to make that point, forcefully.

Also, regarding the apparent conservative belief that the only good woman is a submissive woman: Ironically, it’s been widely observed in the BDSM community that an unnatural number of submissive women are incredibly intelligent, capable, and strong in their outer lives — in fact, they’re often the very same feminist valkyries the right is so terrified of. Turns out that the stronger a woman is, the more likely she’s looking for a guy who can match her strength — and enjoy it when she finds one who can give her a run for her money.

Most conservative men are jealous beta males who just don’t have what it takes to play in the same league as these women (and the men who win them). So they turn to the last refuge of a (wimpy) scoundrel: the right to superiority over women by mere penis possession.

That’s teeny-weeny shit that’s beneath the dignity of a real man, and we should call them on it loudly and often.

Ahhh, a good excuse for some Easter morning Marquis. I figure on issues of sodomy, one must always defer to the master.
