This is what ended the Roman Empire

The "demonstrations last week have finally gotten the attention of our rulers (one could hope). In 1986 an amnesty was announced for illegal aliens which was touted as a solution to stem the tide of "mojados" (wetbacks) into the U.S. That worked swell as the number of wetbacks has since doubled. As pointed out by Mark Krikorian:

This isn’t really about immigration, though — it’s about power.

What we’re seeing in the streets is a naked assertion of power by outsiders against the American nation. They demand that we comply with their wishes and submit our immigration policies for their approval, and implicitly threaten violence if their demands are not met. Far from being a discussion among Americans about the best way to regulate immigration, the illegal-alien marches have been marked by the will to power: ubiquitous Mexican flags, burning and other forms of contempt for the American flag, and widespread displays of blatant racial chauvinism and irredentism.

This is precisely the same kind of challenge that aggressive outsiders are making against other parts of the West, including Muslim immigrants in Europe and, in the most extreme form, Palestinians in Israel. Supremacist Muslims have demanded that Europe repudiate Israel, legally prohibit public criticism of Islam, downplay acts of violent Jew-hatred by immigrants, and not deport Muslim illegal aliens. And some Palestinians, of course, demand that Jewish state abolish itself altogether, actually cutting it out of maps of the Middle East (just as illegal-alien marchers in L.A. held signs of North America with the United States crossed out).

That reminds me, I gotta go buy some more ammo.

Cheaper Than Dirt has some good bargains. For more exotic stuff check out Firequest. They're the ones that led me to the warning devices that the D.A. filed as a "booby trap" in the Humboldt soviet of the People's Republic of Kalifornia. They can be shipped to any Red State:o)

Shot up nearly 700 rounds last week. Getting pretty low. Cheap ammo is usually dirty ammo,(I'm lazy. I'd rather spend 5.00 more a box for 15 min less cleaning time. Pretty sad, huh?) But I'll check it out.

Trip wire warning devices sound cool as hell. Man, that'd make one hellava great April Fools Joke. I can think of about a dozen people. Only half would actually call the police.

With regard to warning devices, I have a limited supply that was not seized by Barney Fyfe and Co.:o)
