Fabian socialism is socialism achieved by increments. In other words, they don't do it all at once. People get tested to see how they react to things. They start small and then work bigger. Socialism in this country started small, with programs like the New Deal, then later on SS and Medicare, and these are all ostensibly because govt is fixing problems that people cant solve themselves. Ironically, it is govt which creates the problems they then solve with Socialist solutions.

Well, I can't argue that.......
But as far as this Mexican military convoy is concerned.....what kind of reaction would they hope for if this was their intent? Certainly they don't think people are just going to wave to them as they're passing through America. I don't think we've sunk to that level of apathy yet.

Mexican troops crossed the border into the United States Thursday, KGNS-TV reported Friday.
A convoy of three military trucks loaded with soldiers and weapons crossed the border at Bridge No. 2 in Laredo, Texas, the station reported.
Customs and Border Protection investigators told KGNS-TV they spoke with Mexican authorities after being alerted that the military convoy was heading in their direction.
Mexican officials say the soldiers didn't know the area and got lost.
An investigation into the incident is continuing.
They got "lost" ... bull#. Return the next "lost" convoy in bodybags and it will never happen again. How many more times does this have to happen before Washington does something? Either the Mexicans are up to no good, or they need some serious remedial map reading classes; my bet is on the first part.

Kinda like how Hitler's army got "lost" in Poland in 1939?
Kinda like how Russia got "lost" in Georgia in 2008?
Kinda like how Saddam got "lost" in Kuwait in 1990?
*harumph!*
how are we going to take out the cartels ourselves if thats the cia's biggest customer? then after that wed have to deal with the cubans as well, clearly they are a big part of this. dont you think youre going about this all wrong? taking control of our media and exposing how our own government is responsible for this is probably a better way of starting this off?
Their military ain't got dung compared to the US border patrol force.
My thought exactly, that's a bunch of hogwash, just some stupid soldiers/illegal immigrants dressed up as soldiers trying to get either some land or some money

Let them find refuge in Mexico. My children need a better life and illegal immigration imperils their future.

So you think anyone that has crossed the border illegally should be killed. Despite their reason, the children that they want a better life for, the corruption and murder they want to escape. Many of these people are refuges not criminals.
foxnews is a really credible source. I wouldn't doubt for a minute that it was actually a lot more than just three trucks. Probably a whole division following their AAA map.

First, you really shouldn't trust foxnews as they are not real news organization. And second, you shouldn't be so anti-immigrant. Unless you are 100% Native American, your family emigrated here also and you should have compassion. Do I agree that Mexican Military troops should be crossing the border? Of course not. But consider for a moment how many countries the U.S. is in illegally... 1) Libya 2) Iraq 3) Yemen 4) Pakistan. And those are the countries the U.S. Government admits they are in illegally. Before getting all "Sean Hannity" about this issue just consider the bigger picture please.

Yeah, seems to me there is an element within our CIA that wreaks more havoc on the planet than these drug cartels could ever hope to. I agree, exposing the media and our govt. is the only way. Attacking the cartels will just be met with violent resistance from those within the CIA who keep the cartels in business in the first place.
