Arizona, who do they think they are?

Americans?  We salute you!
---------------------------------

 I'm a legal American citizen and I must show my ID when: 
     1.  Pulled over by the police.

    2.  Making purchases on my department store credit card.  

   3.  When I show up for a doctor's appointment. 
   4.  When filling out a credit card or loan application. 
   5.  When applying for or renewing a driver's license or passport.
    6.  When applying for any kind of insurance. 
    7.  When filling out college applications. 
  8.  When donating blood.
  9.  When obtaining certain prescription drugs.

 

  10.  When making some debit purchases, especially

            if I'm out of state.

  11. When collecting a boarding pass for airline or train travel. 
I'm sure there are more instances, but the point is that we citizens of the USA are required to prove who we are nearly every day! 

Why should people in this country illegally, be exempt!!!!!

Why shouldn't we guard our borders as closely as every other country in the world does? 

                               Go ARIZONA !!!

 

                

The Media's Bias illustrated best via a 'parable'

A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.   The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. 
 Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.

The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'

The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.'

The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page...  So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'

The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.'

The journalist leaves.  The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page: 

U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT

AND STEALS HIS LUNCH

That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days

Ruling Class v Country Class Conflict

Here is the opening segment of one of the most apropos essays to come out in some time.  Political Science 101, Basic Economics, Human Psychology, American Sociology, it is all here....
"As over-leveraged investment houses began to fail in September 2008, the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties, of major corporations, and opinion leaders stretching from the National Reviewmagazine (and the Wall Street Journal) on the right to the Nationmagazine on the left, agreed that spending some $700 billion to buy the investors' "toxic assets" was the only alternative to the U.S. economy's "systemic collapse." In this, President George W. Bush and his would-be Republican successor John McCain agreed with the Democratic candidate, Barack Obama. Many, if not most, people around them also agreed upon the eventual commitment of some 10 trillion nonexistent dollars in ways unprecedented in America. They explained neither the difference between the assets' nominal and real values, nor precisely why letting the market find the latter would collapse America. The public objected immediately, by margins of three or four to one.

When this majority discovered that virtually no one in a position of power in either party or with a national voice would take their objections seriously, that decisions about their money were being made in bipartisan backroom deals with interested parties, and that the laws on these matters were being voted by people who had not read them, the term "political class" came into use. Then, after those in power changed their plans from buying toxic assets to buying up equity in banks and major industries but refused to explain why, when they reasserted their right to decide ad hoc on these and so many other matters, supposing them to be beyond the general public's understanding, the American people started referring to those in and around government as the "ruling class." And in fact Republican and Democratic office holders and their retinues show a similar presumption to dominate and fewer differences in tastes, habits, opinions, and sources of income among one another than between both and the rest of the country. They think, look, and act as a class..."
