So, what do the FEDS have to say about the little states taking a stand? BHO: our pres says that Arizona’s efforts are misguided. Misguided? How does that apply in this instance? I’d offer you their efforts are laser-guided. Arizona didn’t like the way someone else was doing something that affected them so they decided to do it themselves…I call it the American way. Obama said today that the law "threatens to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans.” Fairness? Who said life was fair? There are two types of people when it comes to this issue: those of us that were blessed enough to be born citizens of the greatest country this world will ever know and there’s the rest. The rest are free to try to come live among us, but there is a right way to go about it…I apologize that the federal government is involved in that process, but deal with it. While I am on that, if you come here, bring your culture, your religion, your language…bring it all, but be prepared to learn my language and not impede or affect one iota my way of life. And for those of you too stupid to understand how blessed you are to be born American, and want to change this and that to make us a kinder gentler country on the world stage, GO LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE, I’LL BUY THE TICKET.
Arizona asked for more troops on the border, and the FEDs didn’t oblige. I applaud Arizona for standing up in the face of federal resistance for that which they believe is in the best interest of the people of Arizona. On a side note, did anyone notice McCain singing a different song during his current Senate campaign than he was during the 2008 Presidential Elections regarding immigration…it is time for him to go.
On the Islamization of the western world front:
There is the case of the Miami bus signs. Background: the ad company that sells giant ads on the sides of Miami’s public busses sold ads to a Muslim group. See the ad below.
In response, a group by the name of SIOA (Stop the Islamization of America) bought ads from the same company. See ad below.
Fatwa (Correct spelling FATAWA is a declaration or call for action)
After SIOA’s ads started rolling around town, folks complained that it was offensive to Islam (For the record, 3000 people dying a fiery death: NOT OFFENSIVE. Add offering help to those being persecuted for leaving Islam: OFFENSIVE.) So, in true apologetic Obama-age fashion, the ad company pulled the SIOA ad for fear of offending anyone, but the ad proclaiming Jesus was a Muslim kept on rolling. This decision has since been reversed, but should this have ever been a discussion?
The cartoon, South Park…pretty stupid, mind numbing, barely entertaining and definitely not enlightening, but they have a following, they sell merchandise and ads, and they make millions, so good for them for being capitalist. For reasons unbeknown to me, South Park’s 200th episode included a depiction of the prophet Muhammad (of Islam) as a bear. I don’t know what the bear said or did, but just attempting to depict Muhammad is a vile crime under Islamic law. They don’t even allow respectful portraits of that old Arab because according to them, no one could do him justice. So, let’s see…based upon what we know about Muslims, what do you think happened? A) They called for a boycott of South Park...seems reasonable. B) They asked for a written letter of apology...may have gotten it. C) Threatened the lives of the creators of the show...That's the Muslims I know. C, as in Correct is the right answer. The idiot who said this went on to say, "This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them." Ok, not a threat, got it. As it turns out, the blogger who wrote this is an American living in America with a crappy beard and goofy hat and likes the idea of suicide bombers and also hates America and its military, but no charges will be filed and not one peep from “moderate” Islamic groups to admonish this guy’s behavior and comments. By the way, South Park mocks all religions equally and teaches children vile and disgusting things. This show should not be allowed on in your homes…but that is your call.
Happily a Christian-American,

Arizona's stand against illegal immigration is good and admirable. I think that President B. Hussein O. sees what Arizona is doing, taking a quintessentially "American" (as you put it) stand as a threat to his power consolidation. Whenever any entity other than the federal government controls the outcome of a situation, he is threatened. In this instance it's a state, not an individual that is daring to take action on its own behalf. Obama opposes Arizona's action not only because he is just a liberal and wants more illegal immigrants (motives there for another discussion), but he feels that his power is being usurped. We take power from him when we have private (opposed to government) health care, send children to private schools, and buy Fords instead of GMs.
ReplyDeleteThe private school comment requires further explanation as well. Undoubtedly, schools would be better if they were privatized. Plain reason and even cursory knowledge of any government program proves that. I admit that totally privatizing schools would take a little doing. However, if people are so set that the education and training of your offspring and lineage should be turned over to the government, at least let it be controlled only at the state level. The federal government has absolutely no reason to involved with education. Go to DC and look at the Department of Education building. You can smell the fraud, waste and abuse from 20 blocks. Seriously, just beholding that behemoth of Orwellian influence is enough to make a tax cheat of any thinking person. Consider: A "public" (including schrool) playground must have mulch that meets the FEDERAL standard for children safety. Think about all the levels of waste that exist in this seemingly innocuous regulation. More money has been wasted with the condescending consolation of "it's for the kids" than anything else.
Getting back to the beginning of taking responsibility of outcomes that affect you- I know it's crazy, but maybe seeing to the education of your posterity is the American thing to do. Thanks Bryson.
