The following is taken directly from the Minuteman Border Fence website. Bolds are mine.
We are organizing as citizen volunteers, to safeguard our beloved nation from violence, from sedition, from wholesale attack by those who do not love America and wish to see her destroyed or irremediably altered from a nation of liberty, equality, and justice, and a bastion of western civilization. We are recruiting, training, volunteer citizens who will stand as patriots for the promise that is, and ever has been, America to build a border fence.It seems to me that what the Minutemen claim to defend (liberty, equality, justice) are the same concepts that they are destroying. I also find it ironic that they stand by the philosophy of "natural rights to life, liberty, and property." I suppose they should add a line saying, "Unless you are Mexican."
Today's citizens of the Minuteman Movement, like the original Minutemen of our colonial Revolution, live by the philosophy of America's Founding--including respect for the God-given natural rights to life, liberty, and property.
