The Roundup
About twelve months ago Green Cove Springs experienced a Roundup. It was done on Vermont Street near the black area. White buses came and took away 172 illegal aliens. This has made a difference in this small city. We see very few Hispanics at McDonald's, or in the neighborhoods.
Tom, who works near Vermont Street, told me about this event: Shortly before the Roundup, he had been approached by a large Mexican who threatened him with "kicking his ass". Tom claims he was merely doing some welding, looked up and there he was yelling at him. Tom yelled back and said he would get a hammer in the head if he came closer. Tom was using this hammer to remove flux from the welded area. This hammer has a sharp edge for chipping the flux. Once re-challenged, the Mexican went away.
I asked Tom if he called the police and he said no. As far as he was concerned that confrontation was over. It was a few days later when the Roundup happened. Tom himself did not witness the Roundup, he was told about it by people who live nearby and counted those who boarded the buses.
Now that the Eric Holder has announced that only criminal illegal aliens will be sent back, will the white buses stop rolling?

They should do more round ups around every where.

Za,
You can't possibly be implying a moral equivalencey between the rounding up of Jews in Paris to be shipped to extermination camps during WWII to the rounding up of illegal aliens and sending them back to thier country of origin, are you?

David: your equivalent at that time could see no evil in what was being done and you can see none now. That is the similarity.

The problem with the comparison is there is no comparison at all. Comparing conservative ideas to nazism seems to be the first refuge of left wing bomb throwers especially when they have no logical arguments.
Member of the Tea Party....you are a nazi
Protect our boarders...you must be a nazi
Smaller government...nazi
Etc.
It really diminishes the point and point maker.

Nothing about nazis. It about, try to focus, anything you have to say you can rest assured it was said In France at the time. I did not saynthere was evil, only that you, like them, see no evil.
The crowd (could read that as mob) never sees evil. Right in our own history, lynching a Negro or a cattle rustler without a trial......seemed like a good idea at the time.
But here we are discussing something from third hand hearsay from, shat sounds to me like, a very unreliable person.
Recently saw a dignity I liked......don't try to talk to the haters, your not the jerk whisper.

Forgot......yes it would diminish the point and point maker, that's why I am careful not to do it.

The fact is there was significant public outrage at the rounding up of the Jews in Paris, led in no small part by the Catholic Church. But the Vichy regime backed up by German soldiers effectively squashed any open protest and the rebellion went underground (the French underground, sound familiar?). Pierre Laval, Jean Leguay, Louis Darquier, and Helmut Knochen were all tried and put to death after the war for their parts in the roundup and eventual executions. Approx 10500 Jews were rounded up and only 811 survived Auschwitz to return to France. Your right though, it's the same as sending ILLEGAL aliens back to their home countries.
To your point people did indeed see the evil in Vel' d'Hiv, and there is no evil in protecting your country from the mass immigration of unscreened persons. There is a process to get here.

OMG, you think you relate to the underground. The people waving flags, the rallies, the nationalism, the patriots were the Vichy.
Enough already.....two plus two is not a duck. (inside joke)

I suppose patriotism, like so many things is in the eye of the beholder. I suspect you find nothing patriotic in the Tea Party and I find nothing patriotic in a government that collaborated with the Nazi regime to the detriment of its own people. I don't know you, maybe your are German and find patriotism there, I do not.
Indeed, two plus two is not a duck.
