We need a new nickname for these "Minutemen."
I propose either "Minutemutts" or "Minutemokes."

But I'm absolutely sure that someone can come up with a better one.

Your suggestions?

11. Mokes, mooks, either will do.
But I like your "mooks" better.

2. I thought minutemen was pretty apt.
After all, if they lasted longer, they would have girlfriends.

(disclosure: someone else made a similar version of this joke a week or two ago, so I am appropriating it)

3. Suckers?
Nothing like pitting working people against working people to make your cognac taste smoother.

What about "ghostbusters"?

:sarcasm:

7. Are they working people?
They're not out there protecting their own jobs. They're not thinking about the economics of illegal immigration at all, as far as I can tell. They're worried about das Kultur.

10. Sure. The distinctions you make are probably far from their thoughts.
And so all the more reason for us to approach the RW meme carefully. Because it requires actual *thought* about legality, security, human rights.

Not gun toting, sensor tripping, attention whoring.

9. Small dicks
men with little guns carry big guns. It's the only way they know how to compensate.

12. "Stupid Bastards" should do nicely
A bunch of hard-right clowns who played "cowboys and Indians" too much when they were small and never grew out of it. A detestable gang of blood-thirsty "morans" if ever I saw one.

15. How about "wait a minutemen" to reflect how prepared they are
to defend our country. I haven't seen who are at least 50lbs overweight.

Edited on Tue Apr-05-05 05:09 PM by sfexpat2000
gardeners and stroller pushers?

I lived in Santa Monica, CA for about three years. The only brown faces I saw (besides my own) were behind leaf blowers and baby strollers. Since I'm from a different part of this state, I just couldn't believe what I was seeing.

(Hyperbole warning:)) Oh, definitely, let's put a bunch of resources at the borders because those al qaida workers are surely the biggest threat to our welfare as a nation. They make corporate policy and will surely steal our jobs and drain our social programs and we'll go straight to hell.

Hello? These people have always been here. And they have always added more than they took from this country.

If you really want to save Labor, check out the WTO.

peace,
Beth

16.  Fascist Vigilantes
VVV = Vile/Vulgar Vigilante Vultures/Vermin

They don't like being called what they are...VIGILANTES, so that should be in the name. They don't like it? I do! :hi:

Vigilantes for Bigotry

Bigots for Vigilantism

18. If they kill any migrant workers
I hope the families of the workers sue the shit out of the US Government for allowing the Bully Bellies to muscle in on the job of the border patrol. Border patrol should be arresting them on sight for interfering with government operations. Vigilante -ism is illegal in this country last time I checked.

Yea but so is election fraud.

never mind........
