"Undocumented Americans"

[Gaspar]

I laughed when Harry Reid started referring to illegal aliens as "Undocumented Americans," now he is being outdone:

REDDING, Calif - A U.S. Forest Service Law Enforcement Operation led to the arrest of an individual at an illegal marijuana cultivation site last week where 7,434 illegally grown marijuana plants were confiscated.

On Friday July 9, 2010 a marijuana eradication operation was conducted on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest in Trinity County, south of Hayfork, by law enforcement agents from the U.S. Forest Service, Trinity County Sheriff's Office Drug Task Force and the California Department of Justice, Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement. During the raid, a U.S. Forest Service K-9 team located Gauldry Almonte-Hernandez, a displaced foreign traveler from Michoacán Mexico, who had tried to flee the area and hide while officers were performing entry into the marijuana garden.

Gawrsh!, just a foreign traveler.  Just passing through.  Probably left his passport in his other pants. Doing a little gardening on the way. 

Sorry Harry.  California will not be outdone!

Well then those were displaced marijuana plants, not illegal ones.  Don't want to offend the pro- hemp crowd.

[Gaspar]

I'm sure they were disposed of properly.  I mean how else do you come up with "displaced foreign traveler."  Dude!

Whoa, dudes!  That's some serious wastage of 7,000 plants, man!!

Tragedy!

No matter the spin, they are still illegal aliens.

They'll take away your liberal card for that.

Apparently in response to the hilarity from Reid and others, some are just calling them "Undocumented Democrats."

Who said I am a liberal??

There are many areas where I am much more conservative than anyone on this board.

2nd Amendment.  I submit that not only is it a right to be armed, it is one's obligation to do so and be able to defend oneself and one's country.  Adults between the age of 18 to 65 (yep, male and female) should be issued a government provided M-16 (would prefer AK-47, but our military uses the other), issued ammunition to practice (say 1,000 rounds a year minimum??  just to pick a number) and be required to practice/qualify to minimum level of marksmanship on at least on a quarterly basis.

If someone wishes to practice more, then more power to them.  I would let them start to pay for ammunition after 5,000 rounds per year (+ or -  ??).

Over 65, it becomes optional.

In addition to being good for the country, it would also be just plain old fun!

We were able to fight and decisively win two world wars in large part due to the marksmanship of the American rifleman (plus our industrial might and some other things).  We have lost that.  People don't shoot as much any more and it is going to come back and bite us in the butt one of these days.


Maybe more later....
