A Boston Tea Party …(Every Damn One Of Them)

Can you hear it? Listen closely! Can you hear it? You probably can’t because it is just a whisper for now but this tiny whisper has the potential to turn into a loud scream. What is it?

The minutemen of Arizona have brought the federal unwillingness to close the Mexican border into focus. Their sense of civic responsibility has shown everyone the border with Mexico can be closed. Their success of closing a small portion of the border also has reenergized the outrage over why the federal government has not been willing to do what is necessary to shutdown the illegal flow of aliens into America.

A Senator and a Representative were each asked by Bill O’Reilly why the feds are not stepping up on the issue of border security. Both Congressmen agreed the government is doing no better job than was done pre 9/11. Two reasons were given for the lack of progress. The cheap labor illegal aliens provide businesses and the political fear of upsetting minorities. The Congressmen mutually agreed those two reasons were held in higher regard than was the safety of everyday Americans.

The Congressmen also agreed with O’Reilly that should a terrorist attack be traced back to the terrorists passing through the Mexican border, the failure to secure the border should be considered an impeachable offense. An impeachable offense? Really? Who should be impeached? The President? The Senators? The Representatives? Every damn one of them! If you’re a politician or a lobbyist who placed your political welfare above the safety of Americans not only should you be impeached but you should also be jailed.

O’Reilly mentioned a website where people who want the border closed can give their signature. The website is www.reformus.org. He is expecting a few million signatures. I ask those who will hold ALL federal politicians responsible to leave their name in the comments. Please tell your friends to also leave their names. Let Washington know we won’t accept their current indifference to this problem. If we scream loudly enough they will hear it or face the consequences.
