John Longenecker wrote an article last June about the Texas Minutemen. He hits the nail on the head in so many areas - not just the fact that "illegal immigration is bad", but the reasons why liberals don't understand our need to protect the borders.

Where liberals fail is, in part, in their refusal to see the consequences of their own acts of interference, but will hold others accountable for something as small as announcing their resisting. The Liberal mind-set cannot allow them to see how they are the cause of the problem they complain about, and their immaturity won't permit them to see how righteous the resistance to their interference is.

The double standard of the liberals is that conservatives are held to answer because liberals think of non-liberals as adults, while liberals are not held to answer because they perceive themselves as kids. What they fail to comprehend in their teenager mentalities is that the response they object to (such as the Minutemen) is a perfectly healthy and normal adult answer to their unending intrusion, provocation and the injustice of their interference when people have had enough.

Do a Google search for "texas minutemen", and the top response is this article by Reuters, entitled "Minutemen step up US border patrol; violence feared". Of course, the first paragraph immediately slams home their point and belief that having Americans defending the border is a potentially violent thing, even though the last Minutemen vigil in Arizona was notoriously non-violent. let's not even take into account that there is precious little media coverage of the Minutemen at all.

The California-based Brown Berets, a Mexican-American group that was allied with the revolutionary U.S. Black Panther Party in the 1960s, has vowed to confront the Minuteman volunteers during their October vigil.

An Arizona rights group, the Border Action Network, distributed posters to stores in Naco, Douglas and Nogales on the Mexican border this week, declaring the communities "hate-free zones" and saying "racist vigilantes" are unwelcome.

In Texas earlier this year, 11 state senators urged Gov. Rick Perry to oppose the Minuteman patrols, saying they could "negatively affect tourism and trade along the border" and make law enforcement "more dangerous and difficult."

The Democrats bully and push to the point of resistance from the objects of their hatred (adults and adult values, such as being free from interference), and then characterize that resistance and objection as racism, incendiary and potentially violent.

Not only can you not win every fight, but you should not even fight every fight. Fighting everything is a dead giveaway that itÂ’s not really about any given issue, but only about fighting. And I have my own theory on that.

Liberals need to grow up and back down, and begin to live with the consequences of their own making or help fix them. Liberals need to back down. Not compromise, not cave in, but back down and cooperate, taking that chip off their collective shoulder, adjust their rotten attitude, and stop picking fights with everything they see.

An adult would do that.

1 While most Americans look to the Democratic party as the better of the two major parties to control illegal immigration, you are right about liberals not trusting the minutemen. That stems from their ties to right wing extremists and new-Nazis. At recent minuteman rallies, swastikas and Nazi flags were openly flown.

2 I don't know that anyone looks to any political party for controlling illegal immigration -- the Republicans, in power, have done nothing. The Democrats, who want the illegal vote, will do nothing. The Libertarians don't even want to have borders. There's not much left!

3 The main element in modern liberal thought is a childish total disregard of cost, like a child complaining that he can't get everything in a toy store. The "X uber alles" mindset results in frustration as the liberal must constantly deny the reality that there will always be unmet wants, and that securing some will mean leaving others unmet. Like a kid who realizes that he cannot have every toy in the store, the liberal has a temper tantrum. Paying no heed to cost, means accepting an infinitely high cost to achieve one's goals. As the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiller pointed out (http://nicedoggie.net/2005/index.php/?p=938#more-93 , "That’s why they [levee engineers] have degrees in engineering and accounting, degrees that let them understand that protecting everybody from everything costs an infinite amount of money and will take an infinite amount of time to complete. To pay for it, all social welfare spending will have to be slashed, all environmental spending will have to be zeroed out, and all other government spending will likewise be transferred to the “infinite flood protection” project."

4 I try to avoid calling liberals child-like, but so often the description is just SO very accurate! It's always gimmie, no matter the cost. I'm starting to understand WHY they think that way, and I don't see any way to change their thoughts.
