A general mish-mash of news, starting with CNN, which called the demonstration Sunday “largely peaceful.” Does that mean that there were acts that were not peaceful, too? They don’t say. They do say this
Chanting “Yes we can,” waving American flags and holding signs reading “We have rights” and “We are human,” demonstrators kept up a festive spirit as they denounced the bill signed Friday by Gov. Jan Brewer.
Yeah, about that “Yes we can“…..
With chants of “SÃ, se puede†(“Yes, we canâ€) echoing through the air, those opposed to Senate Bill 1070 handed out T-shirts bearing the slogan “Legalize Arizona.â€
In other words, those who approve of people violating the immigration laws of the United States were out in force, not to mention that many illegals are murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and other types of criminals. I wonder how many were actually American citizens at the rally?
Speaking of rallies, how about the one on Friday?
New aerial footage has surfaced of the violence that broke out at the Arizona state capitol building after a new illegal immigration bill was signed into law on Friday. In stark contrast to peaceful Tea Party rallies, the pro-illegal immigration protesters took to the streets pelting police with rocks and water bottles as a means to voice their discontent.
Check the link for video of what a “peaceful” left side demonstration looks like.
Up in New York, which doesn’t need to deal with people coming across the Canadian border to kidnap American citizens, one blogger at the Times Union gets truly silly
In trying to tamp down my immediate visceral rage to the new Arizona immigration law, I tried to think about it in a cool, unemotional way. (snip)
It struck me that, in apartheid South Africa, there was a requirement that people had to show identification when requested. But it was only enforced on people of a certain color. As the song from the mid-1980s album Sun City goes, Let Me See Your ID.
I suppose, from the first sentence, we can assume the writer would be a Leftist, as their normal reaction to everything they do not like is rage. But, to compare the law to apartheid? Please. Those who are here legally will be treated with respect, those who aren’t, will be arrested and sent back across the border. This was a perfect example of the truly insane way Lefties “think.”
Another New Yorker, Mike Lupica (who should really stick with sports), writes that Arizona Gov. Janet Brewer needs lessons in patriotism. He never defines why or how, instead going on a typical liberal rant. Say, Mike, why not move down to Arizona, to, say, a border town, and see how safe it is.
A writer at the Tucson Citizen, Jim Kelley, refers to these supporters of the illegals as “narco-terrorists.” No excerpt, you have to read the whole thing.
Sweet! An Arizona congressman, Raul Grijalva, has called for a boycott of Arizona. I wonder who he considers his constituents, the American citizens who do not want to be kidnapped, raped, and murdered, or the illegals who are kidnapping, raping, and murdering Arizonans?
Lastly
Santa Fe’s Immigration Committee president Marcela Diaz want local families and businesses to boycott Arizona.
Diaz is also a board member for Somos Un Pueblo Unido, she said she hopes the boycott would change Arizona’s immigration law.
Somos Un Pueblo Unido is a leftist open borders group which wants drivers licenses for illegals, to make it so no law enforcement officer can ask an illegal their status after arrest, and really, amnesty for all.
“It’s going to push people further down into the shadows. It’s going to alienate people, it’s going to make people afraid in their own communities but they’ll probably end up staying because that’s where they have their roots,” said Diaz.
So, then the law is working, if they are hunkering down and staying out of the public arena. However, they will probably all leave, Marcela, which is also the point. Why don’t you join them down in Mexico, if you think there are no borders?
Crossed at Right Wing News and Stop The ACLU
Ever had trouble in Mexico? They don’t seem to have any problem at all with racial profiling. We need to get off this concept of profiling. Why do I have to have an extensive security evaluation in the airport when I am not Arab and not Muslim? They are the two who seem to be mad at planes.
When I read the Fourth Amendment, it seems to say that the government should not perform warrentless search and seizure. To me that means that if Mexicans are entering the US illegally and you ask someone who appears to be Hispanic for identification, then you are complying with the Constitution. On the other hand, to harass everyone, as we do at the airport is exactly what the founding fathers, and me, feel to be repugnant.
Arizona can pass race base laws, pass Birthers laws and the state can continue to boycott Martin Luther King Day, well the rest of the Country can boycott the state of Arizona and spank them where it hurts them the most their pocket book. Their phony patriotism is sickening, they are just racists going by another name. We all know you are just itching to put a sheet on their head? Let’s face it the Republicans had eight years to deal with health care, immigration, climate change and financial oversight and governance and they failed. It appears that the Republican Party is only good at starting wars (two in eight years, with fat contracts to friends of Cheney/Bush) but not at winning wars as seen by the continuing line of body bags that keep coming home. The Republicans party will continue turned inward to their old fashion obstructionist party (and their Confederacy appreciation roots) because they continue to allow a small portions (but very loud portion) of their party of “birthers, baggers and blowhards†to rule their party. I will admit that this fringe is very good at playing “Follow the Leader†by listening to their dullard leaders, Beck, Hedgecock, Hannity, O’Reilly, Rush, Savage, Sarah Bailin, Orly Taitz, Victoria Jackson, Michele Bachmann and the rest of the Blowhards and acting as ill programmed robots (they have already acted against doctors that perform abortions). The Birthers and the Tea party crowd think they can scare, intimidate and force others to go along with them by comments like “This time we came unarmedâ€, let me tell you something not all ex-military join the fringe militia crazies who don’t pay taxes and run around with face paint in the parks playing commando, the majority are mature and understand that the world is more complicated and grey than the black and white that these simpleton make it out to be and that my friend is the point. The world is complicated and people like Hamilton, Lincoln, and Roosevelt believed that we should use government a little to increase social mobility, now it’s about dancing around the claim of government is the problem. The sainted Reagan passed the biggest tax increase in American history and as a result federal employment increased, but facts are lost when mired in mysticism and superstition. For a party that gave us Abraham Lincoln, it is tragic that the ranks are filled with too many empty suits and the crazy Birthers who have not learned that the way our courts work is that you get a competent lawyer, verifiable facts and present them to a judge, if the facts are real and not half baked internet lies, then, and only then, do you proceed to trial. The Birthers seem to be having a problem with their so called “factsâ€. Let’s face it no one will take the Birthers seriously until they win a case, but until then, you will continue to appear dumb, crazy or racist, or maybe all three. I heard that Orly Taitz now wants to investigate the “Republican 2009 Summer of Love†list: Assemblyman, Michael D. Duvall (CA), Senator John Ensign (NV), Senator Paul Stanley (TN), Governor Mark Stanford (SC), Board of Ed Chair, and Kristin Maguire AKA Bridget Keeney (SC), she wants to re-establish a family values party, that’s like saying that the Catholic Church cares about the welling being of children in their care, too late for that.
And while you’re down there, try and find a job without a visa, huh?
Whoa, Montana, had a little too much caffeine today?
Golly, when the left demonizes the right and broadly categorizes everyone who is conservative, they can get a little testy!
Glad you are so astute as to make the assumptions you have, including lumping Catholicism in with all your other hate speech.
Nice work, including just about every cliche there is; while judging the people you love to hate.
A little Google search, and we find that Montana has been dropping that little bit of a run on paragraph all over the ‘Net.
Nasty trolls…
