Living in the US and making it work the way it is supposed to is all about looking the other guy and asking in your own mind, "Oh yeah? Maybe, maybe not. Show me." Experience instructs best in what is really going on, but experience is sometimes hard to keep track of. |

Phil, we're moving on and as I wrote before, we're doing rather well. We will be a stronger and better organization. That you can bet on. There are no grand standers here. We all work together. That has become very apparent with the joint effort being put forth to organize this rally. It's been amazing and I'm so proud to be a part of this group. Just wait and you'll see. |
Jean, you could be right about the trash part, I'll probably never know. At any rate, I'm willing to let it drop for now. I've got to say I really respect your attitude, however. It's really upbeat and positive, and I have to admit my original comment was perhaps a little too negative for the forum, even though it's the way I really feel. I guess at times it's just better to keep certain comments to one's self.

Glory, thank you for your kind words. It is so nice to see someone say that a person has done something good. Believe me every time I stood or tried to walk in the streets it was with all my heart. I am glad for all those times we had together. :)

I don't pine for the "old days". We did a lot of good, but we had a leader that was more interested in promoting her agenda rather than leading an organization. We had a number of "End the Fed" rallies. Why? I don't know other than they played into the Ron Paul agenda of the former leader and current gubernatorial candidate.
We saw posters and active members ridiculed and eventually banned for merely voicing a dissenting opinion in the 2008 Presidential election season. This was the beginning of the end of the "old days." Instead of being a group focused on the removal of illegal aliens it became a tool to advance a political agenda. I am glad that the management of this group has seen fit to keep political agendas quashed. If we keep the individual politics to a minimum, and focus on the task at hand, then I believe that we can rise from the ashes. If we do this, then they will be forced to deal with us. "They" meaning the Reconquistas and those groups led by people that are loyal to personalities instead of the movement. |

To all my fellow Patriots who have been out in the trenches and have been physically attacked by the enemy. This is something a keyboard warrior could/would never understand. Back in the day when "Men were Men" and not all this mushy feelly stuff. I feel waa, waa, waa. God bless us and thank God no one has been killed at any of these protests.
TEDDY ROOSEVELT U.S. President and Recipient of the Medal of Honor “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” |
Amen Ole Glory. It's shocking that a gun hasn't been pulled out on any of us. God Bless America and all Patriots.

God Bless you, PAM. Wear your battle scars proudly.;)

Jesus Christ...Has everyone in this movement gone completely nuts? including the San Diego Minuteman?
http://sandiegominutemen.com/sdmm/in...d=66&Itemid=85 I tell you, it is embarrassing. It's a shame none of them know the meaning of Patriot. |

Chelene and Jeff continue to do damage, but mostly just in California.

Look, all politics is local...This is what this movement fails to understand. You don't go after a state wide election unless you have some experience and a known name. Grass roots need to look for weak incumbents, and capitalize on them. You take one district at a time. Governors do not write laws, legislatures do. Other than veto any new legislation, Nightingale would have been ineffective promoting any agenda. It is what it is. |

Honestly, if this is the guy in charge of the San Diego minuteman, the organization needs to have there heads examined. This is not a leader. This is a example of a puppet. He is getting his strings pulled by the oppositions for propaganda purposes. What the opposition does is use this to demonstrate aggression. This inflames there membership and increases the counter protester numbers. |

Jeff Schwilk updates his "patriot warnings" page to include another TEA Party group, and increase his disdain for me.

I'm not seeing the Mexican flags flying as much as 5 yrs ago, and we now have whole states standing up and taking action. It's a far cry from when we did "one a day" and were excited if just one town took actions. Yes, we've worked hard and have accomplished a great deal. But we still have quite a ways to go. |

Admittedly there are some hold-outs, such as gheen and schwilk, but they haven't been very active in our circles lately anyway. Much less of the "drive-these-people-out mentality now. |

It was the rallies done back in 2004-2005 that had the greatest impact. In 2006 SOS attracted too many people who just wanted to belong to something out of some sort of personal neediness and I am sad to say that but it is true. When I left SOS in late 2006 it was really going to hell in a hand basket.
The main problem experienced by SOS is too much talk and not enough action, people just want to post on a forum and never truly do anything to help. Sad but true. |

Well we all know Chelene damn near ruined the group's last shred of credibility and in order to do all the damage she did she had to have an abundance of "useful idiots" to do her bidding. Anyone who truly was a thinking person and didn't blindly follow was black balled and smeared, but you know that as well as anyone. An unfortunate fact but of course there are still people who care deeply about this issue ( I am one of those ) and I will continue to support SOS in any way I can.
I've noticed some people who are the most active in this movement seem to somewhat shy away from SOS when I attempted to secure them as guests on SOS radio but I am working on that and trying to restore good will with certain heavy weights in the anti illegal scene. My name is still respected by many and I intend to use that. |
