We have nothing to fear but … ourselves

The Republic of Granjeno?

In the name of “protecting America” we’re abandoning Americans... heck of a job, Cherney! Homeland Security means securely isolated from the homeland — or something. This is FUBAR!

GRANJENO, Texas—Founded 240 years ago, this sleepy Texas town along the Rio Grande has outlasted the Spanish, then the Mexicans and then the short-lived independent Republic of Texas. But it may not survive the U.S. government’s effort to secure the Mexican border with a steel fence.<!–font>

A map obtained by The Associated Press shows that the double- or triple-layer fence may be built as much as two miles from the river on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande, leaving parts of Granjeno and other nearby communities in a potential no-man’s-land between the barrier and the water’s edge.

Well, DUH!!!!

According to World Nutz Daily, “10% of illegals caught already have serious felony histories in U.S.… which should be alarming, til you read through the link for some Pittsburg, PA television station’s web site. Well, of course, when you go hunting for felons, you find … surprise… felons! Anybody remember Operation Falcon?

It’d be funny, but…

We’ve opened up a new front on the war on terror. It’s an attack on the unique, the unorthodox, the unexpected; it’s a war on different. If you act different, you might find yourself investigated, questioned, and even arrested — even if you did nothing wrong, and had no intention of doing anything wrong. The problem is a combination of citizen informants and a CYA attitude among police that results in a knee-jerk escalation of reported threats.
