Pictures from the War on Drugs, by the way, over in Mexico. This is what an open border policy invites in.

Here’s a bill of particulars with references to the Constitution.

Mexican gangs with lookout posts IN ARIZONA??? Mexican snipers?? What in Hell is the matter with you? Are you so intent on “fundamentally transforming” this country that you will allow this? An ARMED incursion across our southern border and death threats to law enforcement and YOU ALLOW THIS???

If so, then you are a traitor in the purest sense of the word and should be treated as such. You are in direct violation of the Constitution by denying the citizens of Arizona the right to “be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects” as outlined in the Fourth Amendment, in addition to your failure to respect Article IV Sec.4 of the Constitution regarding the “guarantee to EVERY (individual) state a republican form of government and shall protect each of them (including Arizona) against INVASION”.

AND your failure “To provide for the calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and REPEL INVASIONS” (Article 1 Sec. 8 of the Constitution)

You are also in violation of Article III Sec. 3 of the Constitution in that, by allowing these outposts to exist you are indirectly giving “Aid and Comfort” to an invading force, the enemy. You have, at the very least, allowed a potential state of war to exist on our own sovereign soil and have done nothing to defend or support those in the line of fire. Abandonment and persecution of the people you were sworn to protect makes “Traitor” seems appropriate.

I must add, you are not only a traitor but a seditionist as well. That you are IN FACT, guilty of “overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that is deemed by the legal authority as tending toward insurrection against the established order” We The People being the legal authority and states rights being the “established order”.

“Subversion of a constitution” and “incitement of discontent (or resistance) to lawful authority” which you have done by demonizing the people of and filing suit against, the state of Arizona. You have, in fact, created a “commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws” (of the state of Arizona) all of which are part of the very definition of sedition. You have, in essence, declared war on one of our own states by these actions and you WILL be held accountable.

Read it all, every word.

And you leg-tingling “Journo-lists” who acted as this thug’s mouthpiece during and after the election?

Right up against the wall with him. You’re not the independent, free press protected by the Constitution; you’re his shills, and if he starts bailing out your worthless puppy trainers, you’ll be his paid shills, his co-conspirators.

Anybody out there willing to admit they voted for him? Still proud of it? Here’s your rough-hewn rail, have a nice ride out of town.

Feeling a bit duped?

Too. Fucking. Bad. You deserve everything that’s about to come down around your poor little ignorant innocent socialist peacenik ears. We’ll do our best to keep it from killing you, but remember: we don’t feel sorry for you, we blame you. We’ll let you in if you promise to work, but expect a lot of rough words and angry glares while you dig the latrines.

Every major war we have fought since Vietnam has been a proxy war for Muslims. Whether we were bombing Saddam on behalf of the royals of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, or bombing our former allies in Yugoslavia on behalf of Muslim Albanians, or dying in order to provide electrical generators to downtown Baghdad and ferry schoolteachers into Kabul. We have not fought a single significant war since Vietnam that was not on behalf of, or intended to benefit Muslims. Not a single one. The Ottoman Empire had a name for this. It was Janissary.

It is only common sense to say that people who act like slaves, are slaves.

via the Flea, who observes:

The analogy is far from perfect. If the West provides Jannissary slave warriors for the sheiks then we should expect to take over their figurative-Ottoman Empire presently. Hardly the worst case scenario.

I have no words or pictures adequate to the enormity of that achievement, except, “Thanks, guys. Well done.”

Speaking of which, Israel stopped and bordered the MV Rachel Corrie as it attempted to run the blockade. No lives lost.

I’m guessing that the people aboard that ship, and the people supporting it, do not realize that some of us regard the name “Rachel Corrie” not with sympathy for a righteous stand against tyranny, but rather with contempt for deceit, treachery, and above all, useful idiocy.

I am greatly relieved to hear this. I wish the response had been faster and much, much stronger, but at least BO didn’t outright condemn Israel for defending its borders.

[update]
As I reread the article, I realize: this is an unidentified “official” speaking, not a formal announcement of Obama’s policy. And it’s very vague, simply a refusal to condemn, not a statement of support. Very weak; downright cowardly, even. A refusal to take stand, rather than picking sides.

America should lead, Mr. President. You should lead. Toning down the UN Security Council resolution is far from leading.

[/update]

Whenever The He does something even remotely correct, I have to wonder: was this His own opinion, His natural leadership?

Or did certain “advisers” from, say, the military and intelligence agencies show up unannounced in the Oval Office, shut the door behind them with a Marine or two standing guard outside, and explain exactly what would happen if The He followed His natural impulse to betray the country He pretends to lead?

Not, mind, just in terms of unintended consequences, but in terms of what would happen to Him, personally.

Ace of Spades is on the ball:

The downside is the underlying assumption that the problem with the ‘peace process’ is Israel. That some how if only Israel feels secure then everything will be rainbows and skittles in the Mideast.
…
The use of Turks as the shock troops was also inspired. While that country has become more and more Islamist over the years, it still had at least relatively cordial relations with Israel.

Not any more.

And James Lewis at Pajamas Media has an excellent analysis of the message Israel is trying to send:

Why did they decide to stop the flotilla with commandos? There are more imaginative ways to do that.

I think the decision was deliberate, and it was not aimed at the blockade-running convoy. It was a signal to Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, Iran, and most of all the United States — because we are in the midst of the most dangerous war confrontation in decades. This was also a signal for the Obama administration, which just stabbed Israel in the back at another UN phony “peace” conference.

Everything being done by Israel and its enemies today has a double purpose: It is what it is, and it’s also a strategic signal. This time the cabinet and PM decided to show their very sharp claws. It meant: This time we are willing to preempt you with gunfire. Take heed, because we are not interested in PR.

[Bold mine]
Read the whole thing; Lewis provides many interesting links.

And I hope he’s right, that Israel at long last is getting serious about its national sovereignty.

I hope Obama learns the lesson.

Yer gonna have to wait fer the Gunny. He ain’t dead yet.

Leaving this up as a reminder to not jump the gun.

[UPDATE II]
No one else is reporting this. Whew. I’m putting the rest of this post below the fold, pending confirmation.

UPDATE:
Comments at Arms and the Law indicate that reports of R. Lee Ermey’s death may be premature. I certainly hope so.

“Gunny was expected to take part in the Washington D.C. Memorial Day parade today.”

If he does, good. Maybe that’s why Obama went to Chicago.

Why, today of all days, when we honor so many who have fallen in battle, the loss of this man, to pneumonia, should hit me so hard, I don’t know.

But I choked on reading the news, and I wasn’t even a regular watcher of his show.

Mail Call and Lock’n'Load were not about the hardware, the weapons, the kit; they, and Ermey, were about celebrating and educating us weakling civs on the hard and noble life of the warrior.

I can’t say Rest in Peace for souls like Ermey’s; I can’t help but to think that Peace would be boring to them.

To Valhalla with them, then; I wish them Eternal Victory.

I look for the fall of your enemies, who are also my enemies.

I call shame upon those who revile you, even unto my countrymen.

Ghost of a Flea has the goods on Israel defending its naval blockade against Gaza.

Statement from the IDF:

Early this morning, IDF Naval Forces boarded six ships attempting to break the maritime closure of the Gaza Strip. This happened after numerous warnings from Israel and the Israeli Navy that were issued prior to the action. The Israel Navy requested the ships to redirect toward Ashdod where they would be able to unload their aid supplies which would then be transferred over land after undergoing security inspections.

During the boarding of the ships, the demonstrators onboard attacked the IDF Naval personnel with live fire and light weaponry including knives and clubs. Additionally one of the weapons used was grabbed from an IDF soldier. The demonstrators had clearly prepared their weapons in advance for this specific purpose.

Go read the whole thing.

Statement from the Flea:

Only for Israel – and Arizona – is it a crime to enforce national sovereignty.

Here’s The Flea again on an outrageous United Nations “resolution” calling for a nuclear free Middle East singling out Israel, but saying nothing of Iran. I am disgusted and ashamed that the traitor governmentregime now sitting inoccupying Washington, D.C., apparently “supports” this resolution. Of course, this is cited as indicating “American” support, but no. Fiercely no. I am more American than BO (but then, Israel itself is more American than BO, at least in spirit), and I condemn this resolution, and will personally rejoice at whatever actions Israel takes to defend itself against the enemy we share.

Including the stationing of nuclear submarines off the coast of Iran, also reported by the Flea. Any sane person hopes, prays, fervently, that those manning these terrible weapons are never called upon to actually use them — but if this happens, I for one will be relieved at the destruction of a threat my own government is too cowardly to counter, or even name.

Today, it is those who condemn Israel who are full of crap, not those who stand with her.

On this Memorial Day, I honor those who have fought, are fighting, for liberty everywhere, not just my countrymen.

No shalom for Israel today, or for us. I look for it, but today is not it.

There is no shalom in defeat.

What, so this is like an after-dinner mint to get the taste of rotting flesh out of your mouths?

How about a moment of silence to mourn what the “armed forces” have fought and died for, and you traitors just murdered?
