Minutemen: Rally to Arms – The Battle of the Hoes Begins

Sal Osio, JD/HispanicVista.com
October 21, 2005
 
    A call to arms to all super patriotic, flag waving Americans, whose quest is to rid our white American landscape from those sweaty brown illegals: Take their jobs, put them out of work and force them economically to go back home ... without as much as firing one shot. This is the rallying call that will be remembered forever in history from generation to generation as thousands of red blooded Americans take to the fields of the San Joaquin valley, straight to the farms and take back the low wage jobs from the Mexican laborers. The Patriotic Minutemen of America will fight the battle in the trenches, mano a mano, with the enemy, with a pitchfork and a hoe, and will win.

The annals of history will laud their historic courage, their valor and sense of fair play by waging a war on the enemy's turf, on an even playing field, in the absence of guns and deadly confrontations.

No more intimidation and bully confrontations with unarmed victims in the Sonora desert. With sweat and tears these brave Americans will face their enemy and will route him.

The battle of the hoes, as it will be remembered, will be the inspiration to future generations.

The call to arms (hoes) and recruitment centers in the San Joaquin Valley - Bakersfield, Fresno and Stockton - beckon the brave and patriotic Minutemen of America who so nobly served their country in Arizona, Texas and California, to enroll in this worthy cause. Thousands upon thousands of these heroes are expected to answer the call to duty and country. And all America, and the media, anxiously wait for the outcome.

Their much decorated and heralded leader, John Gilred,* announced: "By replacing them at their place of work and taking away their minimum wage jobs, these bandits who take away our jobs will be forced to go back to where they came from ... or starve since they don't qualify for unemployment insurance. This is the brilliant strategy of our movement."

Brilliant indeed.

Finally someone has come to the rescue and formulated a real solution to the challenge. Our congratulations to the Minutemen. And all along we thought they were just wannabe bully lawmen looking for an excuse to show off American might at the expense of the unprotected and vulnerable victims of global economics. Shame on us.

We will all wait in awe and admiration for the waves of Minutemen answering the call to 'arms.' The media will gather at the recruitment/employment centers and report to the world this heroic struggle of bravery and sacrifice for country. History will record this event ...or absence thereof.
