Think there are some strong emotions there?!
It very likely will get messier before it gets better...but I never underestimate a person who is truly passionate about a cause and is willing to fight for it.
Get 50, 500 or 5000 people with the same passion and you've got something.

Thanks for sharing.

I understood that it is a quote attributed to Jesus.  I understand that it implies submission to the State when the State demands it; and to God, matters of God.  What I don't understand is what it has to do with the video and protest of the border wall.  Is chuckyd saying if the State wants to build a wall, let them bill a wall without question?  That's what I'm asking.

If I understand this to be the case, I must respectfully and forcefully disagree.  Despite what Caesar Chertoff wants rendered.

I honestly do not know enough about the wall issue to make a educated decision...

either pro or con...choose conservation or national security?

This I do believe...

Policy should be challenged...democratic law should be obeyed.

Just my opinion...

One of the problems is that a lot of us aren't convinced a wall will keep anyone out.  Might stimulate the Mexican economy with regards to ladder sales....

good fences don't make good neighbors.  courtesy, respect and communication do.

ladders, shovels and wire cutters.   i  should have realized it before, Home Depot is behind this after all!  Home Depotland Security!

So that's why they are building Home Depots all up and down the border! The immigrants don't need ladders, just follow the fence to the end and go around it! Or, homestead on the west side of the fence since that land will now be in Mexico. In most places the fences will be quite a ways in from the river and all that former US land will now be part of Mexico.
