Minutemen Denied Spot in California Parade

The Minuteman Project border patrol group sued a Southern California city on Friday after organizers of a "Patriots Day" parade refused to let it enter a float because the group was deemed too political.

The lawsuit accuses the city and the Laguna Beach Patriots Day Association of discrimination because other political advocacy groups -- including one supporting illegal immigrants -- will be allowed to take part in the March 4 parade.

"If it's a city of peace and tolerance, I think it's hypocritical to say that and promote that and be liberal and not allow different points view," Minuteman spokesman Tim Bueler said of the resort town and one-time artists' colony.

In addition to the group supporting illegal immigrants, Bueler said the parade would include another called Peace Vigil opposed to the war in Iraq and another he described as "pro-abortion."

Too political? Let me get this straight. Marching FOR the government to treat people who enter the country illegally like welcome and invited guests: not political. Marching AGAINST the government doing virtually nothing to stop illegal immigration and secure the borders for the safety of its citizens: too political.

Yeah. THAT makes sense.

Way to go Laguna Beach.

Or, as I like to call it, Laguna Bee-OTCH.
