Jim Gilchrist, right-winger extraordinaire, compares a southern border fence to the D-Day landings. He's a cofounder of the Minuteman Project, and he wants "another major, massive assembly of minutemen and women along the entire border -- not just the Arizona border this time, but the entire 2,000-mile border from San Diego, California, to Brownsville, Texas. I would need 3,500 volunteers to spend 30 days in certain areas, the unprotected areas, along that 2,000-mile border."
By all means, we must defend ourselves against those brown people trying to cross the desert and ford the rivers to join this wonderful free nation, because they'll destroy America as we know it. (He acknowledges that there'll be a 2% cohort of crazies they'll have to deal with; nice call, Jim, but maybe your estimate is a tad low.)
All this is presented on a "news" channel, "The Daily Ledger," the money-making brainchild of a Southern California newscaster named Graham Ledger. He (Ledger) helps along the interview with comments such as "Just to be clear, for detractors, you're not vigilantes, you're not down there to spur on violence; you're down there as red-white-and-blue Americans to try and plug a hole in a sinking ship. Correct?"
Why yes, that is correct, Graham, and furthermore, liberty and freedom.
Ledger: Yadda yadda yadda, complete violation of our sovereignty, lawlessness.
Gilchrist: "Yes that's the conduct du jour of America, a nation that -- well, once, not so long ago, was heralded as a nation governed by the rule of law. It is now a nation that in short order will be governed by mob rule."
Oh, noes. Please save us from the brown hordes, the nannies and gardeners who threaten the existence of our nation.
