REAL CONSERVATIVES

NEVER TOLERATE TYRANNY!....Conservative voices from the GRASSROOTS.

In the fall of 1972, I hitchhiked from Utah to Panama- via Nevada, California, Arizona, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. While my entire adventure was an intense experience, my focus today is on the two weeks I spent traveling through Mexico- from San Luis to Tapachula. It was a different world then- not without danger, but certainly dramatically safer than Mexico of today. At times I slept hungry along the road- at times received food and shelter from total strangers. The experience left me with a profound respect and affection for the people of Mexico.

I would later write three Danny Malone novels- primarily set in Mexico during the late Sixties- a number of my personal experiences strewn over nearly 700 pages. In a nutshell, Danny wages a bloody and protracted one-man war against a drug cartel. Ahead of my time, I guess…

Last week I watched the poignant documentary “Which Way Home,” which tells how young children ride atop freight trains in their journey northward in hope of finding paradise in the United States. It has a wider message, however- one that exposes the sad deterioration of all of Mexico.

I don’t condone illegal immigration, but do believe that a great number of the folks we callously classify as illegals would more appropriately be called refugees. Yes, refugees bent on escaping painful starvation and poverty- refugees fleeing the ruthless tyranny of the drug cartels.

Bringing this to your attention just one more time, Tim Johnson reported way back on 3 February 2011, “According to a database offered by the government, last year’s 15,273 violent deaths marked the bloodiest year since the president launched a head-on confrontation with the cartels in late 2006. Since then, the death toll stands at 34,612 deaths.” That number is surely much higher now.

When Muslim extremists behead people, the lamestream media hails it as news. When cartel-related beheadings occur in Mexico and Arizona, the media usually acknowledges such barbarism as little more than the cost of doing business.

I was always taught that it’s more important to quietly do a good deed close to home than make a noisy pilgrimage to someplace halfway around the world. I don’t mean to denigrate the need for US aid to foreign lands, but how do we justify our current involvement in three foreign wars while largely ignoring our immediate neighbor to the south? Surely each of you know a few terrifying stories about recent events in Mexico that you can’t quite erase from your memory bank- replete with fear, hunger, poverty and disease.

But here’s the greater problem. Yes, tens of thousands of these refugees are so desperate that they will either reach relative safety in the United States or die trying. However, the larger danger of the Mexican government falling is of critical significance to our national security- much more so than Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya combined. 

It’s pretty much out in the open now that the New World Order folks seek a North American Union comprised of the US, Canada and Mexico- complete with our own version of the Euro. I suppose the fall of the Mexican government would help bring about that nefarious goal. And just as we must question who’s gonna fill the impending power vacuum in Libya, who will take over in Mexico? The drug cartels? Extremist Muslim insurgents? The Chinese?

You are no doubt painfully aware that the Obama administration has done its best to prevent Arizona from defending itself. Also, we recently we learned that our own government has been responsible for allowing arm shipments to reach the drug cartels- two such weapons having been found at the scene when Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was gunned down on 14 December 2010. According to Katie Couric and Sharyl Attkisson of CBS, two AK-47 rifles found at the murder scene were intentionally allowed by the ATF to “walk” into Mexico nearly a year before the murder. And it has now been confirmed that Agent Terry was armed only with non-lethal bean-gag rounds. Our federal government is not only broken. It borders on insanity.

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has openly admitted that Libya was “an interest” but posed no immanent threat to the US prior to our attack on that sovereign nation. The escalating chaos in Mexico, however, increasingly threatens our national security by providing a potential haven for our international enemies. It is also common knowledge that other than Mexicans illegally cross our porous southern border. Our vulnerable southwest has become a magnet for foreign terrorists and illegal drug trafficking. We must place our foreign policy emphasis much closer to home.

Yes, I fear for the people of Mexico, but my greater concern is how their problems impact the United States- opening the door for our economy and general wellbeing to be further ravaged by drug lords, communist thugs, Muslim fanatics and the international banking syndicate. Time to seal our southern border and smash the Mexican drug cartels. Time to get us a real President…

Another good read, and many valid points.  We can surmise that our government for many many years has had NO interest in closing the boarder! A lot of money is made off of it, for the police and courts and perhaps secret ops money comes from it to.
When Obama stood against Arizona and Stood beside the Mexican leader, he committed treason. He took an oath to protect this country and that includes Arizona! The the disgusting war on Arizona trying to protect there citizens, which we all know is the governments supposed job! More treason?  So now we have drug dealers in our National Parks in the South and the answer for us is signs warning Americans to say out of the parks we pay for? Wasn't that why the states where to have militia? Now turned into the National Guard it seems and of course our government has sent them over seas. They should be defending the boarders of the States that are being invaded by these drug lords and the same terrorist we are fighting in the Mid-East!  Mexico has had corrupt greedy leadership for may years, those who have been awake know that! I too feel bad for the citizens the flee to our country, back bankrupting the cities and states involved is not the solution!  Many American Companies took out jobs to Mexico, so why are they not being hired there and why not charge those companies for the money being drained from the states to take care of these people? Many of the illegals, don;t want to learn English, even many of the legal ones don't. For the most part they seem to want all the freebies.. What money they do earn, gets sent back to Mexico so of course the leader there doesn't want them being deported back! Yes time we find a honest president that will do the hard things, fat chance I think..  Funny, I read something recently that suggested that General Petraus was offered the job of president to keep him loyal? How weird would that be if it came true when zero becomes to much of a liability over the BC issue? Thanks again!
