Don't Fence Me In

Don't most, if not all, of those who are championing an open border living in gated communities (with armed gaurds)?

Psalm23

Absolutely right. The rich folk live in all the gated places where they don't have to mix it up with all the illegals. They probably don't even see any.
Perhaps that is why we keep hearing the gubmint say they don't know where they are because they all live in these gated communities. When the rest of us know where the illegals are.

Good point.

Pep

Looks like I have some catching up to do. Totally missed your post yesterday. Looks like a vicious dog.

You might have hit on the crux of the problem. They just don't know what a wall looks like in DC. They think it's those spear-tipped wrought iron fences you see all over DC. That WOULD be cruel. Maybe we should just explain to them that we just want to keep illegals out, not impale them.

ooh,ooh,

I was gonna be the first poster til said College girl selling books knocked on my door....I'll take the concertina wire. And, let's get the slime politicos to try it first....Somebody get a medic, so they can be "Uncled!!" Perhaps then they will understand what is meant by F.E.N.C.E

LOL!

Great satire Pep! And makes a point. Maybe we should start by removing the fence that surrounds the White House and ship it to the Minute men. That way we can accomplish to things. Helping with the fence project and allowing their beloved illegal aliens to move onto the White House grounds. After all, shouldn't they be subjected to the same security they want for us. Which is none!

Goshawk

That's an excellent idea! If fences don't work, take the WH fence down and give it to the Minutemen. Same with that fence around the Kennedy compounds in Hyannis and Kennebunk.

PPHil

LOL, a vicious dog! You must read the article.

That's too funny, impale them! No telling what the loons in DC think. I mean if they think.

Nee

I'll go for that. Try it out on the pols. Maybe we'd lose a few.

Goshawk

"...shouldn't they be subjected to the same security they want for us. Which is none!"

Exactly, Goshawk. Good point. Helping those "vigilantes" sounds perfect too. :-D

Fences

I like Psalm's point, open-border pushers live behind secure fences.

I think we should have a fence that sends an electric shock to anyone touching it. Of course we'd put up signs warning 'Peligro'.

Yo Peppermint

I like the Medieval one. Would be cheaper to repair and give the "crossers" a more at home feeling.

WilliBeax

That's right, we want to provide all the comforts of home while crossing dem borders. Hey, we're a gracious and inviting country.

Yo Willi

OK. Got mail, got mail.

Peppermint:

Love the satire! *LOL*
Yeah, why not just use the picket fence and write "Home sweet home" on it, to make them feel really welcome. *grins*

Myself, I'd go for the more evil kind. *Horns growing.* Nothing like a little bloodshed now is it? Gotta make sure that the predators get fed. *Muahahaha* After all, I am an animal lover.

RazorTongue

LOL! Some bloodshed and fodder for the animals. Cool idea!

Yo Pepp

Is Razor Tongue dat der Swedish bad motorcycle? If so I pity the poor soul who tries to match wits with her.

Yo Willi

Yep! Razor Tongue is the Svedish evil grinner. She and Raging Bunny and Purplegimp terrorize not only America, Israel, Sveden, but the whole entire world.
They are some tough Mossad cookies. Watch out, don't mess with them!

You make me laugh!

And I appreciate it.

VADaddy

That's the goal. To make people laugh. It's either we laugh or cry about our situation. I like to put some humor into our debacles so we can survive it all.

Apparently

you couldn't come up with a picture of the Great Wall of China...

But these are good, and electrification is a must.

(Pretty neat with the pictures, Pep)

Paulie

Thanks. I'm having fun. Can you tell. LOL!

Electifying is next.

Peppermint

LOL That was good.(makes the point) Always providing them helpful options.

Pasadena Phil and Peppermint

Um, it's the Bush place at Walker Point in Kennebunkport- but please just unfence the land side.
We had too much fun as kids zooming around Walker Point in our Boston Whalers and I wouldn't to deny coming gerations of the same fun. You can do what ever you want in Hyanis at Kenndy D Chappaquidick's there.
Keep'em coming.

xpressit

Hey, always willing to help out. And, the pols need a lot of help with this fence things.

Ha, so Grassfire is going to run ads Where's the fence? How appropriate!

Purplegimp

Don't tell me you sailed with Bush too?

razor

I'm an animal lover as well....I even belong to PETA.....People Eating Tasty Animals

my fence

Put some seismic sensors along the border to listen for tunneling activity. Apart from that, only put fences near the authorized border crossing places to keep the illegals from running across where there are legal activities going on and there are possible innocent bystanders. Don't want those folks getting hurt. The rest of the border needs no fence. Just Marine snipers every 800 yards (okay, train some Army folks, too....and some of us Navy folks would probably volunteer to stand a few watches....). Anybody not crossing at an authorized crossing point (which should be beefed up and have tight security) should not get any farther than 25 yards into our territory. A good side effect is that the wildlife would get food!

The Fense


LOL ! Strangley, I got a letter from the Honorable John Warner yesterday explaining to me how he championed the additional fense and Border Agents and how it is funded and going along swimmingly. (I promise to change the "s" to a "c" when I "see" the fense!)

I posted the following at your last chapter of Juliet's Diary, hope you do not mind me posting here as well as this is the more up to the date thread.


Greetings, Et Al !

Sorry I ain't been around, went to Washington to help move my daughter and family. A little cool there, but very pretty.

A reminder I am planning a BBQ for 18 August ! All Y'All are invited, even Bradford; if he drives with Peppermint. BTW, Pep, bring your Corgi, my cats like dogs as they were raised by a Chesapeake Bay and think they are also dogs.

To clarify, I live in Hamptom Roads Virginia, which is not a town but more like a region or burrough. Town is Newport News. Peppermint, I would like to contact you direct, but I do not want to expose you to the Moonbats on this blog; any ideas?

Any Partiot is welcome, I will have some sort of RSVP set up by the end of July. Anyone wanting to camp in the backyard is okay, bring your own tent.

Purplegimp, Virginia is nice too, and you are welcome. I do not have wheelchair ramps, but I am sure we can figure something out if you are interested. I will grant you a room on the first floor, I have extra and if you can make it to this side of the pond I will be happy to put you up. Teadrinker as well.

Jimmy C is welcome as well, bring peanuts.

Pepp

We do the fence and we can sing "its a beautiful day in the neighborhood."

Crawfish

I can always count on you to stir things up. Marine snipers is good. I really like that idea. Yep, it certainly would keep the wildlife from getting too hungry. LOL

PappyMichael

I sure am glad to see you back here. I've been wondering where you've been. I see you've been quite busy with that move.

Well, Pappy you can contact me at this address:
pep_puh@yahoo.com
That's the address I use for screening. Once you email me, I'll email you my real email address if that works for you.

I'd really love to come to that barbecue if I can figure out monies to get there. It sure sounds like fun!

xpressit

Oh, I can see it now with Mr. Rogers sitting at the border, his little train going around the track, singing that song, welcoming all the undocumented Americans.

Instead of Fred Rogers...

I prefer some Sergeant singing "It's a target rich environment, a target rich environment..."
BLAM!

Crawfish, Pepp, Willi..

Well, there's a reason for the nickname.*LOL* Love the PETA-thing. "People Eating Tasty Animals." Good one!

Peppermint

Nope. He never got that lucky. We just used to off into the wilds of Casco Bay for days at a time and we loved zooming around Walker Point. We even got chased off by big silent squinty eyed types a few times.

Pappy Michael

I actually was foolish enough to hope that I'd make it to that side of the pond this summer, but it isn't going to happen unless a huge miracle comes my way.
We went through Virginia on the way from Maine to Miami and I liked it. Actually there aren't any states I dislike except for S. Carolina and the reason has nothing to do with the state itself. The minute we went over the state line I got all wierded out and just had to get out as fast as I could. Then, about 5 months later my ex died there. We were one of those odd couples who got along better after the divorce that before. I hope South Carolinians will forgive me if I'm not in a hurry to go back there.
I have a good friend who lives not far from you, so you will most likely get a visit next time I'm over there. You have no idea how much I'd love to make it to your BBQ. I guess I'll just to have one down at Teadrinker's on the day. Then we'll be there in spirit.

Yo Pepp,etal

I heard on the radio this morning that our "friendly neighbors" to the South (border crossers) were setting fires in the Coronado National Forest to distract the authorities who had to fight the fires. A portion of the forest boundary is right on the border. Aren't they innovative? They would stroll right past the fire fighters who had their hands full. Can any of the other bloggers verify this latest outrage of border insecurity?

WilliBeax

That makes me sick. I have no idea if it is true since this is the first I heard of it.

Willi, Pep, All

Maybe your fire bugs took a page out of the so called palestinian terror textbook? They are always setting fires in our forests (the ones that were planted before and just after the founding of the State. Infuriating is but one one of the words that come to mind.

Hi Purplegimp

Infuriating is an understatement. Is it not? What will they do next? I'm barely awake as yet btw.

no fence

just a few land mines scattered around on the border with a few signs after a few casualties the crossings would slow down a bit, great article on dogs the are truly creatures to emulate

ch47jockey

Good to see you. Mines would be good. No fence to build then.
Thanks about the dog article. Dogs are great "little' people.

Fires

I've seen the same reports of fires being set to cover illegal crossings. Still say that some Marines with match grade rifles would take care of the problem. Put up a six foot simple metal fence the length of the border (but about 15 feet inside..anyone who touches it is over on our side, so they're fair game) just so the illegals have to slow down and climb over it...making themselves almost stationary targets for a couple of seconds....

Pepp

OMG! I'm laughing so hard I think I just burst something inside!

RB

Glad you got a laugh out of it. Thanks.

Pepp

All laughing aside. I think we should go with the picket fence.....and have a 100 foot pit dug just on the other side filled with rusted metal and other assorted things. Let em hang around awhile but make sure you put up signs that say Don't Feed The Animals.

RAZOR WIRE

Recently I wrote a letter to the editor (not printed yet), suggesting that, first of all, the fence must be built. Then I also made the simple suggestion of adding razor wire at the top.

It probably would be cruel and unusual, though, wouldn't it?

However, I believe that as long as they're risking life and limb to climb, dig, burrow, slink, slither, and even walk around fences to get here, they ARE entitled to all things American citizens enjoy under the Constitution, aren't they? After all, they get SS cards (maybe with all zeros), and they get hired by the finest corporations and businesses. So why, indeed, are they not entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, even if it is at the expense of real Americans?

President Bush, Michael Shirt-off, and the rest of the shiftless skunks in D.C. should get off their duffs and enforce the law! Grrrrrr.

Frigglesnitz

LOL! You go for it. Love the fight in you!

Yeah, I've written the letters too telling these fools in DC exactly what I think of them for not building that fence. Not pretty.
