Or the Mexican Drug Cartels could come after you:
http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/americas/09/14/mexico.violence/
Social media users who denounce drug cartel activities along the Mexican border received a brutal warning this week: Two mangled bodies hanging like cuts of meat from a pedestrian bridge.

A woman was hogtied and disemboweled, her intestines protruding from three deep cuts on her abdomen. Attackers left her topless, dangling by her feet and hands from a bridge in the border city of Nuevo Laredo. A bloodied man next to her was hanging by his hands, his right shoulder severed so deeply the bone was visible.

Signs left near the bodies declared the pair, both apparently in their early 20s, were killed for posting denouncements of drug cartel activities on a social network.

"This is going to happen to all of those posting funny things on the Internet," one sign said. "You better (expletive) pay attention. I'm about to get you."

But remember- the Administration thinks that securing the border is not that important.

    I'm all about border security, but this happened in Mexico, to disarmed Mexicans.
    When our governing officials dismiss due process as mere semantics, when they exercise powers they don’t have and ignore duties they actually bear, and when we let them get away with it, we have ceased to be our own rulers.

    Very sad, but CaliFFL is right, unarmed citizens have no chance to resist armed thugs.

    If were up to me, the 3rd Infantry Division would be on the border.

    The only thing that this current Administration thinks is important is free give away programs, and seeing how fast they can convert the USA into a totally socialist society. On a lighter note Bullsi1911.. Does this mean that any future post that have the word Drug Cartel in it, will be deleted from here? I know I know I am a smart A**:rotflmao:

    I must disagree. This is definately a place for the 1st Armored Division. Old Ironsides can handle this situation.

    LOL! My bias rears its head again. :-)
