Meanwhile, Back In The States

by digby

You may be wondering why there were so few teabaggers in DC today for the big rally. Well, I don’t know for sure, but it’s possible they were all undergoing basic training for the big invasion.

What invasion, you ask? According to my rightwing emailer, this one:

For starters, U.S. Military intervention in Mexico is a must! Minuteman Project
Founder and President, Jim Gilchrist, is demanding the United States deploy U.S.
Army Airborne brigades into Mexico to battle the out of control Mexican drug
war.

Simply put, U.S. officials are hushing the war news from Mexico because they
don’t want the American people to believe the drug cartel army will be rewarded
with U.S. Citizenship and thereby receive a free pass and warm handshake as they
enter into our beloved land when amnesty legislation hits the floor of Congress.

Washington’s ballyhoo about National Health-Care has distracted the public’s
attention away from the out of control drug war in Mexico. This war next door is
gaining momentum and is now bursting into the U.S.

“It is outrageous to think so many anti-war liberals complain about the 3480
deaths[1] in Iraq since March 2003, but conveniently say nothing about the
suffering which stains Mexico. Deaths in Mexico as the result of the out of
control Drug War have topped well over 20,000 since 2006.” Gilchrist said in a
recent interview.

Gilchrist went on to say;

“Do you mean to tell me the lives of women, children and the good families in
Mexico don’t count? The victims are human beings, families trying to live in
peace, but it seems the U.S. political establishment has turned a blind eye to
their suffering. Well, the Minutemen haven’t!”

For example, Mexico’s out of control drug war has killed nearly 20,000[2] people
since Calderon put the army in the streets in 2006. The city of Juarez is
reported to be a dead zone, with more than 2,600 murders just last year. Untold
hundreds more victims have died so far this year and this is only March. The out
of control drug war has claimed over 27 victims at the luxurious vacation spot
of Acapulco just last weekend.

Citing the increasing bloodshed, and the rampant political and law enforcement
corruption that is dominating Mexico’s infrastructure, Gilchrist said;

“It is time to give Mexico an ultimatum: Either terminate the criminal empires
that influence your nation, and threaten to cripple the United States, or risk
the incursion of U.S. soldiers to do the job for you.”

It is time for the deployment of the Airborne Rangers

There you have it. We liberal peaceniks only care about the deaths of those damned American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan instead of Mexican civilians as patriotic Americans do. Wait, no … oh hell, you know what I mean.

This could be bad. If the Mexicans win this one, we’ll all be eating tacos and speaking Spanish. Oh hell … forget it.
