Our local Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, is under fire for enforcing the law. Democrats have been after Joe Arpaio for years for enforcing the law. The Democrats want some laws enforced and some laws ignored. Joe Arpaio thinks differently. He believes that the law is the law. If you break the law, you go to jail.

The law that has the Democrats up in arms this time is the immigration law. While George W. Bush was President, the Immigration Service (ICE) gave the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department the authority to arrest people who come into this country illegally. The Sheriff’s office has been conducting raids throughout the Phoenix area to arrest illegal aliens. These raids have been successful. The number of illegal aliens in the area has gone way down. Or at least they are less noticeable. The Democrats are crying racism. There is no racism involved. If the person is here illegally, they get arrested. If they are not here illegally they do not get arrested. It is as simple as that. The FBI has conducted numerous investigations at the request of Democrats and has not found one case where they acted out of racism.

Yesterday on the Glenn Beck show on TV, Glenn Beck talked about illegal immigration and what it means for the country. He said that the illegal alien is the equivalent of the slave at the time the Constitution was written. From the argument that Glenn made, I can see the connection between the two. Now, they are not slaves in that the people own them, but they are slaves in that they do not have the rights of a citizen.

Glenn made the point that there are people that do not want them to be assimilated into society. Just like slaves were not assimilated into early American society, illegal aliens are not encouraged to assimilate into American life today. The people that want these illegal aliens to be here have their individual reasons, always personal. But, they do have some common things they desire. These desires are being acted out by the unions and the Democrat party. Just like the Democrat party was the party of slaves back in the time that parties started until 1865, they are the party of slaves today. They say they are looking out for the rights of the illegal aliens, but they never ever give them the chance to get those rights. That is why they are complaining about Joe Arpaio. He is shaking the apple cart and the Democrats do not like it one bit. If he shakes hard enough, he just might turn it over. That the Democrats will never allow.

As an aside, the blacks always complain about only being counted as 3/5ths of a person in the census until after the Civil War. They look at it as if they were being discriminated against. The reason they were counted as 3/5ths is that the Northern representatives wanted to count them as zero as they had no rights. The Southern representatives wanted to count them as a whole person. If they were counted as a whole person, the south would have had far more representatives than they had with 3/5ths. It delayed the abolition of slavery for a long time. Had they been counted as zero they would have eliminated slavery much sooner. Blacks are not told this part of the story, because then they would not have the victim card to play. That is why the Democrats want all illegal aliens counted in the 2010. If all illegal aliens are counted in the 2010 census, the Democrats will be over-represented in Congress. That will delay the inevitable conflict over illegal aliens.

Joe Arpaio is one of those on the front lines of the battle against slavery. It is not called slavery today, but it should be. Joe Arpaio is providing the citizens of Maricopa County with the valuable service that the law requires. He is not backing down, even though the Democrats at all levels of government are now after him. I wish him well in his fight against slavery. I support him in this fight. If I was younger, I would take up my gun and join the Sheriff’s Reserve. I am too old and in much too poor health to do that. All I can give is moral support to those that are on the front lines. Keep up the good fight, Joe!

Yesterday, there was a shooting at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. It was done by an 88 year old man who was filled with hate. He was a white supremacist. That makes a number of hate killings in the past few weeks. In the ones that were supposedly done by conservatives or conservative leaning killers, the left has demanded that the right state that they detest such killings. Those statements are forthcoming from the leaders of all conservative groups. When the killings were done by those with supposed liberal leaning ideologies there has been universal silence from liberal groups. Why is that?

Here in the Phoenix area, the Mayor of Phoenix had to step into the controversy by denouncing the killing. That is just fine as far as it goes. I abhor this killing and any other killing. But, the mayor had to add something to his statement that was completely uncalled for. He called on the Sheriff of Maricopa County, Joe Arpaio, to denounce the killing. Again, that is just fine as far as it goes. But again, the mayor had to add something to his statement. He went on to say that Joe Arpaio had been consorting with white supremacists in the past and had his picture taken with them, thereby implying that Joe Arpaio supports the white supremacist movement. Joe Arpaio does not support the white supremacists. He has arrested them on numerous times in the past. Joe has denounced their philosophy and their tactics on numerous occasions in the past. Evidently Phil Gordon (Mayor of Phoenix) does not have a memory that goes back that far. What Phil Gordon is trying to do with the statement is paint Joe Arpaio with the brush of the white supremacist movement. If he can do that, he might be able to stop Joe Arpaio from rounding up illegal aliens and prosecuting them for breaking the laws of Arizona. That is a disgusting display of idiocy from a politician. Unfortunately, it is par for the course for a Democrat these days.

Killings by supposed right wing nut jobs have been on the abortion doctor and the Holocaust Museum. All Right-to-Life organizations have denounced the killing of the abortion doctor. All prominent conservatives have denounced the killing of the abortion doctor. The killing of the guard at the Holocaust Museum was only yesterday, so denunciation of the killing will take time.

Killings by supposed left wing nut jobs include the Muslim killings of the soldiers outside the recruiting station in Arkansas. If anyone, other than conservatives, has denounced these killings I am not aware of that statement. Of course, there is a caveat to this killing. If you denounce a killing by a Muslim, you might be subject to a killing yourself as defaming Islam. That might be true, even if the denunciation is justified. So, most people will keep quiet about killings by Muslims. They will also keep silent about other atrocities by Muslims for the same reason. In that way, Muslims gain power over large portions of the population. You have to stand up to radical Muslims if you ever expect to keep the country.

This uneven outrage is common in every situation. Conservatives will express outrage over any incident that requires it. Liberals will shout that conservatives need to show outrage when then perceive that conservatives need to show outrage. Liberals never show outrage in any situation, except when a perceived conservative does something. Then their outrage is not with the act, it is with the conservatives. It shows what their agenda is. Their agenda does not care what someone does, they just want everyone to think and act alike. Anyone who does not is dangerous.

You can examine any situation and see this uneven response. If a prominent conservative does something wrong, conservatives will take responsibility and remove that person. If a prominent liberal does something wrong, liberals rally around that person and demand that conservatives retract their defamatory statements against this liberal. They then put this liberal that did something wrong into a place of power and authority. The more you do wrong, the higher you go in the new Democrat party. There was a time when Democrats had standards of behavior like conservatives. Now, the situation has changed. Democrats only have standards of behavior for Republicans and conservatives. They have no standards of behavior for themselves. That is one major reason our country is in the fix it is currently in.
