Employing one example, a Texas governor should not be willing to commit state guard troops to the southern border for any purpose other than a humanitarian one. And in that true purpose, no guns are needed.<br /><br />You might recall the flood of children from Central American countries in the summer of 2014. It seems a far cry from where we are today w/r/t to how we think about refugees, asylum-seekers, and those who are seeking not just to stay alive but some semblance of a better life. What this country was founded upon. <br /><br />Digression on immigration aside, a state militia to protect property owners and preserve "Law-n-Odor" is where I draw the line. I have no use for weekend soldiers who want to play cops and robbers with the po-po. From what I read the locals have enough military hardware gifted them by the feds as it is.<br /><br />This would be a great place to nail down a gubernatorial candidate on his policy regarding several issues in the news lately. Something like:<br /><br />"What should the National Guard's role be with respect to the border?"<br /><br />And wait to hear the buzzwords he or she uses in his/her answer.PDiddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05851660342241127485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-9644301404906945332018-01-12T09:10:45.068-06:002018-01-12T09:10:45.068-06:00Your point re state candidates' hypothetical p...Your point re state candidates' hypothetical position on Yemen is well taken. I admit, it was a crappy example. I'll even cop to being passive-aggressive.<br /><br />That said, I still want self-identified progressive candidates to advocate for peace and against imperialist prick-waving.dbcgreentxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165241808757951660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-80637101649593967202018-01-11T14:26:54.075-06:002018-01-11T14:26:54.075-06:00On Pelosi, don't forget that in the name of &q...On Pelosi, don't forget that in the name of "The Resistance" and "Putin Did It" bullshit, she just signed off on spying on Americans again.Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075757287807731373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-10046529000682798582018-01-11T13:49:06.544-06:002018-01-11T13:49:06.544-06:00Good post here and I'll link back.Good post here and I'll link back.Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075757287807731373noreply@blogger.com
