Actual Headlines From the AZ Immigration Law Coverage
Whatever your feelings on the new Arizona law, the media and left wing is so in a frenzy about it that they’ve become incoherent (more than normal). These are all actual headlines from the past few days regarding the new, tough law that Arizona has passed to deal with their illegal immigration epidemic. I get the strange feeling that the humor is lost on them.
The illegal immigration problem, by the way, that has Arizona as the 2nd highest violent kidnapping rate in the entire world. Second only to…Mexico. More than one a day on average, in Phoenix alone.
Here are the headlines from this week. Yes, these are real and they’re fantastic.

My Thought of the Day
The Stimulus plan (technically the second as we often forget Bush’s 2008 stimulus check), the bailouts, the TARP fund, cash for clunkers, home mortgage tax credits..and the highest unemployment pretty much in my lifetime. With the irony that we got out of that similar situation with quite the opposite methods back then. Using “tired ideas of the past.”
10.2%. I recall the promise of something lower, but the nuances of economic theory do tend to escape me.
My take:
“I’m reminded of a line from The Princess Bride in regards to the Obama Administration. “Recovery”..they keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.” – Craigo
US Desperately in Need of a President, but I Don’t See Any
This guy somehow wrote a column that word-for-word explains my thoughts on this presidential race, the state of the country, and the candidates. I think it’s a must read, and then more importantly we need to do something about it.
Excerpts:
McCain and Obama seem to have cut a secret pact to duck any honest discussion of what the financial crisis means and how they would guide the nation through it. Even more infuriating, they’re getting away with it.
Call it what it is – fraud.
Just as investors bought subprime securities marketed as AAA, we’re being asked to pick a President without knowing the truth behind the talking points. Transparency is at least as necessary in the White House as on Wall Street.
Part of the blame belongs to the debate moderators, who have been too gentle. Wednesday’s maestro, Bob Schieffer of CBS News, tried to get the candidates to address how the crisis would force them to change plans, but they swatted him away and he didn’t persist.
ACORN Office in Vegas Raided for Voter Fraud
Whenever you hear “community organizer” in reference to Obama, what is meant is his involvement with groups like (and specifically) ACORN. In this case, Americans should hope the ACORN falls far from the tree. The only organizing ACORN is really known for is voter fraud….pushing efforts to take away identification requirements and giving homeless people prizes for voting Democrat. Today’s Drudge headlines reveal yet another in their long history of cheating.
If they were really as interested in voter turnout as they say, then they should encourage and help people to register to vote, not try to destroy all laws that are put in place to prevent fraud. If people have to be forced to vote, or register under false names, or don’t have ID to vote, then they likely care nothing about voting…and fortunately for ACORN, are likely Democrat.
Democrats often accuse Republicans of voter fraud and racism at the polls, yet never cite any examples. Well, here’s theirs:
And crazy enough…another partner in his community organizing, Bill Ayers, was shown today to have a bit closer ties to Obama than he previously admitted. And it wasn’t FoxNews who reported it this time….
