Our Presidente

Ole- our Resident and his little scuzzy socialistas want to grant amnesty to all the illegals here now, indeed, they wouldn’t mind if more came in- cheap work forces are hard to come by, especially if you have a sheriff who is arresting the potential work force. That is why, at the behest of several groups who are invested in the “legality” of these people, the federal government, in this case the Department of Homeland Security, has taken the Federal powers to arrest and detain illegal aliens from Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona.
A controversial Arizona sheriff known for taking a hard line against illegal immigrants has been stripped of some of his powers in what he described as a political move by the Obama administration.
Joe Arpaio, a gruff lawman who styles himself as America’s toughest sheriff, has won acclaim from US anti-immigrant forces for his relentless pursuit of mostly Hispanic illegal immigrants in Maricopa county, Arizona, a fast-growing county of 4 million people that is home to Phoenix, the nation’s fifth largest city.
Arpaio’s aggressive tactics include the jailing of illegal immigrants in tent cities surrounded by barbed wire in the middle of Arizona’s searingly hot summers, the reduction of meal costs to 20 cents per day, the use of pink jail clothing for men, and chain gangs for women inmates.

Good for him- the purpose of jail or prison is to punish the offender, not be a vacation destination- as far as I am concerned, if you offend, you lose some of your “rights”- like the “right” to air conditioning, TV, and other privileges that people in the outside world take for granted. The fact that Sheriff Joe can put these people in tents, dress them in pink, and feed them baloney sandwiches is and should be viewed as a part of their punishment. If the prisoners don’t like it, so much the better.
Under a two-year-old agreement with the federal department of homeland security, Arpaio and his deputies had been authorised to enforce federal immigration law by arresting suspected illegal immigrants in the field and by checking the immigration status of people arrested on other offences.
But after drawing thousands of complaints and a civil rights investigation from the justice department, Arpaio was this week stripped of his federal authority to make immigration arrests. County attorney Andrew Thomas, one of Arpaio’s supporters, condemned the “setback in the fight against illegal immigration”.
For his part Arpaio has promised to continue chasing illegal immigrants using state laws. In an angry press conference, he called US homeland security officials “liars” and said he would personally drive those caught on the streets to the border if federal officers refused to take arrested illegal immigrants into custody. “I’ll take a little trip to the border and turn them over to the border,” he said.

Heck, if I lived there, I’d volunteer to drive them back- that’s only fair. They do not belong here. Their first illegal act, was crossing the border. Mexico has a more stringent immigration policy than we do- how crazy is that?
“The department of homeland security is making a historic mistake if it continues its relationship with Sheriff Joe Arpaio,” said Paco Fabian, spokesman for immigration reform advocacy group America’s Voice. “The federal government is lending its full force and legitimacy to a rogue cop certain to go down in history as a serial violator of civil rights and an enemy of the Latino community.”
An estimated 12 million illegal immigrants live in the US. The federal government is virtually paralysed over how to react, with conservatives like Arpaio calling for the arrest and deportation of illegal immigrants and increased border enforcement. Obama, many Democrats and some Republicans call for a system that will allow most to gain legal status after paying a fine and learning English, but reform efforts in 2006 and 2007 withered under sustained rightwing opposition.

Imagine that- a Hispanic against the Sheriff- I guess Paco still has family that haven’t made it over yet. Hopefully they never do- then Paco and his family could visit the old country and the rest of his family, hopefully for an extended period of time.
The plain fact is that if we eliminated all illegal employment in the agricultural fields, our produce cost would rise by about eight dollars a year. A lot of this has to do with a more mechanical approach to harvesting, and also because most of our frozen produce comes from other countries now. In a recent search of my freezer, not a one of ten bags of frozen veggies came from the US.
So what good do the illegals do? Not a thing, in the end. Well- they do make for good news copy, as they slaughter themselves in great numbers. Indeed, there are seven violent crime stories involving spanish surnames to every one of any other race or nationality, every day in the local Houston paper. That is just a fact, as sorry as it may be.
Unlike other immigrants, they are not assimilating into the American culture, indeed they are actively encouraged not to, with ESL being taught, and exceptions being made for those who don’t speak english. Why? That just enables these people to keep crippling along as second class citizens, a sub culture that does nothing positive for our society, instead, making problems for our society that we have to stop and try to fix.
This is a segment of society that if we cannot control and assimilate seamlessly into our society, we need to cast out- their adherence to smuggling drugs and people cause them to be, as a group, much more dangerous, as they will not even try to clean up the bad actors who give them a bad reputation in their society, and thus our society.
If they don’t want to be a part of our society, and indeed they have shown repeatedly by their nationalism, their Mexican flag waving, and refusal to learn any more than rudimentary english that they do not, then they must go home.
Even your best friend can overstay his or her welcome, and they have overstayed theirs.

I guess that makes Ronald Reagan a scuzzy socialist. He gave them all amnesty.
In response to big business, yes- and he was wrong. But he was assured by the liberals that after the amnesty, the process would be fixed.
As usual, the liberal A$$holes lied.
What’s the point of going to the effort of banning certain words, which gives a pretense, a false veneer of civility and standards, if you are just going to blatantly subvert your own established process with symbols? Why not just be honest rather than engage in such hypocrisy?
Someday if you find you have good arguments/reasons for your beliefs, you may discover that it isn’t necessary to use such language anyway.
Reagan was right to do this in ’86. Papa Bush won another four years in 1988 so as usual, your excuse fails anyway. Republicans don’t give a flip about immigration (or abortion) but for years they have been good leading silly bunnies along by the nose.

“Xenophobic Arizona Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, has raised a lot of eyebrows. Besides his very public hatred of Hispanics, he’s also established ties with a Neo-Nazi group in his home state. Arpaio’s obliteration of civil rights has finally caught up with him and the Obama Administration is finally pushing back”

Crooks and Liars? Is that the best you got?
Smear away- He and others are upholding the law of the land. It is the unions who want illegals, so they have some more members, since they have been bleeding membership so badly- the bosses are losing market share, and need more graft.
But for God’s sake don’t teach them english, or they will try to get ahead- the unions can’t have that, or they will lose these members too.
And my assessment of liberals stands, after that blatant paste job you did on the other post- context, my boy- you don’t know what the word means.

Great site by the way. Award winning, good stuff. You’ll learn lots.
“Crooks and Liars received the “Best Video Blog” blog award at the Weblog Awards in 2006 [1], and a “Best Weblog About Politics” at the 2008 Weblog Awards.[2]
Time Magazine listed Crooks and Liars as one of the 25 Best Blogs of 2009.”

What “paste job?” If you want to accuse me of something improper, please do so, and be specific.
D.
ok, to be specific, where you edited most of the sentence about Nobama’s cigarette comment to reflect a reality about my comment that was not contextually true.
It was deliberate, it was dishonest, and shows you for the liar you are.
BLK: “you edited most of the sentence about Nobama’s cigarette comment”>>
DAR
Still burning about that eh?
Here is your comment, in it’s entirety:
“Have you ever considered that in the real world, one of you nut jobs digitally REMOVED the cigarette from hiz Wholiness’ lips?”
Aside from the fact anyone could look three lines up and see your comment in it’s entirety, my editing STILL did not change your context. Notice, you DID NOT say:
“Have you ever considered that maybe…”
Then you would, maybe, if I was quoting something you had said a week ago and people couldn’t easily check the context by looking three lines up, have a point.
But you don’t have a point because you didn’t say that. You said “in the real world” meaning, in reality. You are claiming, in reality, that someone removed a cigarette from his lips in this photograph. You are claiming that this is the reality, the “real world,” and you asked if I considered this reality. That’s just how English works. Sorry about that.
If you are done with distracting with absurd claims and false charges of dishonesty, why don’t you just be a big boy and admit your mistake. The photo is a well known fake that was exposed immediately. We know who took the original and when and where. Also, for those who can see well, it’s pretty obvious that the cigarette is too bright and doesn’t cause any indentation in his lips.

“In early 2008 the top photo began circulating online, showing Obama with a cigarette in his mouth. It is not real. The original photo (top) was taken by Kwame Ross on Aug. 3, 2004 while then-State Sen. Obama met with constituents at the University of Illinois while campaigning to become a U.S. Senator.”

I am claiming that in the real world, it is just as easy for one of you libs to remove a cigarette as it would be to ADD one- and I have seen no proof either way.
Since, however, the gut does smoke, I think perhaps the cigarette pic is more real than not.
My point is as valid as yours- indeed since he does smoke, perhaps more so.
DAR, you take offense at they way things are said and completely miss what is said. You think because you talk reasonabley and don’t swear that you have valid points.
You don’t. You are an educated moron. A polite dolt. A useful idiot.
Now go home and cry about it.
You Libeal twit-twiddles do the same with people like Palin, from Alaska; you harp at the way she speaks but the fact is WHAT she says is much wiser than you and Obama multiplied. ALL you can find to grip about is the WAY peaople talk.
I will give an example of how ultimately stupid that is;
Lib-idiots said Bush couldn’t pronunce “nuclear,” so he is a dolt. Must know nothing about nuclear is!
Well, the Japanese call nuclear explosion, “Dai-baka-hatsu.”
According to liberal “logic,” that must mean the only country that has any actual experience of being nuclear bombed…must certainly know nothing about it!
So instead of parse-nigging about words, how about if you grow a pair of hairy=ies and invite several of your brain-cells to hold hands?

Not at all. Never do, never did. You don’t understand. I like to point out hypocrisy. And it’s hypocritical for a person to have a word ban policy and then blatantly subvert it by using symbols which accomplish the exact same thing.
On our freethinker forum we language freedom. No words banned thus no need to play games with a false pretense of civility. I understand the desire to ban words. Makes sense. Making a rule and then blatantly breaking your own rule, doesn’t make sense.

Must know nothing about nuclear is? Most know nothing about nuclear is!

I bet Japanese know how to pronounce this and other words in their native language, unlike your Bush. Thanks for the reminder.

“Then you wake up at the high school level and find out that the illiteracy level of our children are appalling.”
—George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Jan. 23, 2004
It seems that most of these “posts” have strayed from the article’s content.
Sheriff Arpaio, the subject of the article, can do just about whatever he wants under the law. But, no “higher” authority can make him stop doing what is within the law in the first place. Any sheriff IS the authority in his/her county. If the F.B.I. is sent to arrest Arpaio because he won’t stop his sweeps of illegals, Arpaio can tell the F.B.I. to leave his county before he has his deputies arrest the F.B.I. agents for trespassing.
IF any of you don’t believe what I just said, you can look it up.
Yes- that seems to be the modus operandi of some of these libs- engage you on some ancillary, unrelated thread, and hijack the conversation.
I personally would love to see some Feds in Joe’s jail.
It seems now clear that the Feds overreach every so often and the states and the people have to rein them in.
