That Was The Week That Was #5.

The start of the week saw the left still smarting from the success of Glenn Beck’s ‘Restoring Honor’ rally which was held in DC the previous Saturday. As usual, when they have nothing of substance to argue, they resort to the tactic of belittlement.

Glenn Beck

A predominantly white crowd, ‘Don’t Tread On Me’ shirts being worn and exaggerated audience figures were amongst the criticisms coming from the liberals. They were really scraping the barrel for ammunition!

They stooped to the lowest of lows when the Huffington Post (who else?) published an article by Beau Friedlander, which offered a $100,000 reward for anyone that could provide scandal evidence that would remove Beck from the public eye. It was soon pulled from the site, probably more an act of self-preservation than honor.

We can expect a lot more from the Democrat Department of Dirty Tricks, especially after the survey figures released by Gallup at the start of the week which showed the Republicans taking a ten point lead amongst prospective voters, the highest so far this year.



The Obama administration pulled out all the stops, by their standards, by sending thirty National Guard troops to Arizona to help reinforce border security. Senators McCain and Kyl, along with Arizona officials, had requested 3,000. As a safety precaution, the Bureau of Land Management have erected signs, as far as 70 miles from the border, warning travelers of dangers in the area.


Could this be the start of a new trend by the Obama administration… disclaimers posted all over the country? Translated: “Due to our unwillingness to take action and support state authorities and enforce immigration laws, we take no responsibility for death or injury as a result thereof.”

The government’s victimization of Arizona further manifested itself in the suing of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is charged with failing to provide requested documentation in relation to alleged racial profiling. That this action comes only a matter of months after an investigation by ICE, which resulted in them reporting that everything was in order, makes it quite clear that someone, somewhere is determined to be rid of him.



While the government spends taxpayers’ money on lawsuits against those that defend you and your country, they invest more of your hard-earned dollars in professors at UCSD, whose belief in the dissolution of borders has driven them to modify cell phones by the addition of GPS components which, when supplied to illegal border-crossers, can assist them in their trek across the desert. The next step is government-subsidized taco trucks, lemonade stands and restrooms along the route.

The week, and the ‘recovery summer’ as it had been called by Democrats, ended with another increase in unemployment figures. With it now at 9.6%, one in six Americans are receiving welfare payments. Meanwhile, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis insists “there are jobs out there.”

I’m sure those words bring great comfort to the many that have never before known such hardship!

Joe’s Answer To Feds: More Illegal Alien Sweeps.

If the Republican Party had one tenth the courage and determination of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, we might not be having this conversation.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio speaks to the media in Phoenix, after learning that he is to be sued by the US Justice Department.

Sheriff Joe has stood like a rock throughout attack after attack by the liberal Marxists, and never wavered in his determination to serve the people by whom he was elected. Joe is a gutsy, no-nonsense lawman who says just what he thinks and does what he says he’s going to do, which has been to incarcerate some 10,000 offenders, both domestic and illegal alien.

President Obama’s government has singled out Arizona for punishment, for being the first to stand against the statist tyranny of Washington. Eric Holder, at the orders of Barack Hussein Obama, initiated a lawsuit against Arizona’s anti-illegal alien legislation SB 1070, which had passed with overwhelming support from the people of Arizona. Gutsy Conservative Governor Jan Brewer stood against Obama’s hectoring. She told Holder to go pound sand and informed reporters that she was confident that the State’s argument would prevail.



In the meantime, it’s not like this is Joe Arpaio’s first rodeo with people who would love to see him dragged down. He’s faced them all and he’s still here. Now he’s become such a pain in the posteriors of the drug traffickers that they’ve put out an open contract on his head. Joe’s defiance has helped bolster the confidence of other border lawmen to stand up against an illegal rogue government that is obviously bent on the destruction of our society, at least as we know it.

Joe is an everyday American hero. There are heroes just like Joe all over the country. Look around. They’re your friends and neighbors… your family… your community.
Keep at it Joe, we’re with you.

Go Joe!! – American Hero Joe Arpaio Arrests Fifty Protesters At Own Jail.

America’s hero has more guts than all the Feds combined… and that includes MaoBama and the Marxist clown college, and you can throw his lame rear-ended administration into that mix for good measure. Joe Arpaio put an exclamation point to Arizona’s defiance of the Feds’ blatant abrogation of the Constitution and the state’s individual right to defend its citizens.



Illegals were bussed in from as far as Texas and California to demonstrate for non-existent ‘rights’ in our country. I guess La Raza couldn’t find enough local illegals to rabble rouse. Joe locked up 50 protesters from right on his own front porch, and has all the macho illegal tough guys in pink underwear, eating last weeks 20 cent baloney sandwiches. Joe then promptly sent out his troops to do an illegal alien sweep. Keep those cards and letters coming, Joe!



Thanks to Dee for filling in for me yesterday and another really excellent article. She did bring up a subject that is a recurrent theme in this business. By placing your thoughts and opinions out for public review and comment, especially when that content is opinionated and politically charged, you can and will become a target for criticism, especially from the malcontents of the left.

Let me say first that the overwhelming number of comments we receive from readers are positive and thoughtful. Then there are ‘the others’. I guess I can’t blame Dee for unloading on Mr Low-pez. It wouldn’t be so bad if he could speak and write English. However, it rather looks like if we removed the one word he can spell, he’d be the quietest individual in the room. From the vehemence of his attack, I’d guess that he’s probably one of Joe Arpaio’s clients.

We welcome responsible, thoughtful comment. Differences in opinion are what makes America great. The mental lockstep and group-speak of the left does nothing to advance public discourse and everything to diminish it. The left cannot exist in the presence of substantive ideas and therefore must resort to the type of comment Dee was referring to.
Name calling and foul language are the first and last resort of leftists and other things that crawl really low.
