Answer 1

Minuteman formerly brought up ideas of citizen soldiers defending the country against the Redcoats...nowadays...it means a group of guys with cajones enough to spot illegals sneaking in with or without drugs or illegal contraband.
They risk their lives so we can sleep better at night. God Bless the Minutemen!

Answer 2

Uwaisi or 3waisi?!! ur confusing all of us brother we can't help. wish u provided more specefic (correct) writing. anyhow if u mean 3waisi (عويسي) it means the following: العَوْسُ): الطَّوَفانُ بالليلِ (كالعَوَسانِ) وبالضم ضَرْبٌ من الغَنَمِ وهوكَبْشٌ عُوْسِيٌّ وبالتحريك دُخولُ الشدِّقَيْنِ عند الضَّحِكِ وغيرِه والنَّعْتُ أعْوَسُ وعَوْساءُ (وعاسَ) على عِيالِه أكَدَّ عليهم وكَدَحَ وعِيالَهُ قَاتَهُم ومالَه عَوْساً وعِياسَةً أحْسَنَ القِيامَ عليه والذِّئْبُ طَلَبَ شيئاً يأكُلُه (والعَواساءُ) كَبَرَاكاءَ الحامِلُ من الخَنافِسَ (والعُواسَةُ) بالضم الشَّرْبَةُ من اللَّبَنِ وغيرِه (الأَعْوَسُ) الصَّيقَلُ والوَصَّافُ للشيءِ. after using google translator it became the following in English: Alaos: Flood at night (Kalaosan) and hit the annexation of the sheep and Hkbc Aosi and stir into laughter when Alcdeghin and others, and adjective and Oaos Aoads (And Aass) on his family and assured them toil and dependents and property Qathm Aosa Aiasp best and do it and the wolf will eat anything request (And Alawaads) Kpraca pregnant beetles (And Alawasp) annexation soup of milk and other

Answer 3

it means what it originally meant.
the soldiers that fought in the revolutionary war against England.
that new bullsh*t isn't what they really were. Minutemen died off about a hundred to a hundred and fifty years ago. so technically there are none of them left.

those border patrol people are just that... Border patrol. But what their forgetting is that their parents were immigrants too...

I don't condone illegal immigration at all, but shooting people???

i don't know... i'm honestly split on the immigration issue, the illegals definately need to go. if my family (italians) had to immigrate legally, then so does everyone else, i'm sorry.
but early 1900's immigrants were treated just as bad, if not worse than today's [illegal] immigrants.

Answer 4

It means a retired nuclear rocket, or someone who was ready in a minute to defend the country from illegal governments.

So today it means nothing. No one is going to risk their freedom to overthrow a corrupt government. Not until they can get their hands on one of those old nukes.

Then its a whole new ball game.

Answer 5

Patriots

The little invisble guy who's about thumb size, and gets step on and lied to by the politicians.

Answer 7

Answer 8

"minutemen" to me are the heros who fought off the british during the revolutionary war. the minutemen you're refering to are good hearted, well intentioned people, but the goal is simply not as noble, dangerous, or heroic.

Answer 9

Clinton with a Cigar.

Answer 10

Americans who have become totally fed up with government inaction in the enforcement of our laws.
