Wait a Minute! Wait a Minute! Wait Just a Damn Minute!

Tacked to the snack room door —
The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, which posted hundreds of civilian volunteers along the U.S.-Mexico border over the past five years, has disbanded, citing what it called “rising aggression” in the country and decisions by lawmakers in Washington who have “pushed amnesty down our throats.”
“The mental attitude of many Americans is turning meaner … and we are concerned that this could cause problems,” MCDC President Carmen Mercer told The Washington Times on Monday. “You see aggression surfacing even at the tea party marches. We just did not want to deal with the liability anymore.
“Turning meaner? Did she say ‘turning meaner’? Somebody run that flag a little higher up the pole, Honey, because I think my hearing is hiking,” Juanita nearly snorts coffee on Verdelia’s hair this morning.
“These are the Border Minutemen – the meanest damn people on earth. They have to look up to see the bottom of hell. They get all duded-up in their paramilitary gear and announce they are going to protect the border with their binoculars and more small arms than the Italian military. And now they want to back down? What? Did the media leave?”
“Carmen Mercer is one mean hussy. She’s the only woman I know who clips coupons for ammo,” Juanita tells everybody who hasn’t already lost their hearing from the racket she’s making hollering about the irony of this situation. It seems that earlier this month, the Border Hoarders had a different attitude —
The MCDC announcement that it was dissolving came as a surprise to many in the movement, particularly in light of pronouncements by Ms. Mercer earlier this month that the organization was looking for more volunteers this year to show up on the border “locked and loaded.”
“This muster will be completely different. … We return to the border locked, loaded and ready to stop each and every individual we encounter along the frontier that is now more dangerous than the frontier of Afghanistan,” she said in a March 16 posting on the MCDC Web site. “This operation will not be for the faint of heart.”
“I suspect they’ll tell us that ‘locked and loaded’ was one of those Sarah Palin metaphors for ‘giving those poor people a cool drink of water,’” Juanita suggests.
“I suspect that her excuse has about the same amount of fact as a turtle has feathers,” she says. “I’ve heard of people changing directions, but you’d think she was at a square dance with a drunk for a caller.”
“She invented mean,” Thelma pipes in. “She has the patent on mean. She has a mean machine that meanorates on British Mean Day with a Mean-o-licious punch to the to her meanaide ….”
Somebody tell Thelma to shuddup before she hurts herself.

One can’t help but wonder what brought this on so suddenly. A lawsuit, maybe? Heh-heh.
1Writ twits? They’re scared of writ twits? What? They can’t duck from flying motions? I guess I’ll keep Bubba, Attorney at Law, on my payroll if he’s that damn dangerous.
2“Push amnesty down our throats”… gee, that happened when… Oh yeah, Reagan, 1986. Patron saint of Teabaggers. Of course, we have cosmic channelers such as Edwin Meese who during a seance asked, “What would Reagan Do?” (Hey Juanita, no hyperlinks allowed? It’s good!) And then, just like those who as the same question about Jesus or the Founding Fathers, tell us what he thought should have been done.
Maybe her fear was because all those members wanted union health benefits. Now she’ll make independent contractors. Liability, you know.
3“more dangerous than the frontier of Afghanistan”
I didn’t know there were missile strikes going on along our borders! Shouldn’t that be front page news?
4My guess would be that up until know the Minute Maid Mousketeers were content to bluster and blather and bloviate like Saint Rush himself safe in the knowledge that they’d never actually have to like ya know shoot their weapons at anything more dangerous than a glass bottle close enough to cut them when it breaks if they hit it. But hearing the crazy-stupid rhetoric at the Tea Parties made someone realize that there are people out there who are actually crazy-stupid enough to shoot someone and kill them and then they’d have to face the prospect of being prosecuted which could mean having to spend some time in real close quarters with some people who really ARE illegal immigrant criminal gang members. So they decided that the anger level was getting just a little bit too mean for comfort. Besides, it’s gettin’ on toward really warm weather and baseball season is fixin’ to start.
5Don A FTW!
6BarbinDC, WTF is FTW?
7I do believe it’s For The Win!
8Don, your post is so true. I’ve noticed how those who engage in incendiary speech, like Rush, Beck and $arah, always stay safe, never directly exposed to “libruls,” or even their own audiences. While many of the people involved in these militant groups just want to feel macho and will quit when the going get tough, others are whacknuts who need to be watched.
9Palin said something ’bout how ppl should stop folks w/Obama stickers on their cars, and call ‘em out….boy, I would really LOVE for someone to do that. Not bad enough these witless wonders show up armed to rallies–no brains, no balls so they gotta bring guns instead.
I caught a thread of folks who, naturally, would like the target practice. Me? Nah, not willing to pay the higher premium for denting up my truck. I have impish kids, so I carry my camera w/me wherever I go. It’s got a mini-vid feature and I’m just waiting for that lucky shot at someone doing stooopid up just right
