“Much ado about nothing”…that famous line from Shakespeare aptly describes the ridiculous reaction from the liberal left elements of our society and some over-defensive Hispanics in regards to the Arizona border enforcement law. The level of clamor, incited by a politically motivated administration in Washington, has risen to a ridiculous level,….while the majority of American citizens agree with the need and intent of the law.
I commend Arizona Governor Jan Brewer for having the nerve and resolve to openly reveal the lack of action and caring of the Federal Government in relation to the enforcement of our immigration laws. She has exposed their intent to allow as many illegal entrants as possible to enter our country, with a plan to eventually grant them all citizenship and thus voting rights. With this new group of voting supporters, the liberal left can then permanently tilt the balance of voting in their favor, and thus retain power over our government. It is all about politics…not human rights!
Governor Brewer took a brave stand, looking out for the needs of the citizens of Arizona, at least the legal citizens. Since enacting the law which will allow police to check citizenship as they perform their duties, Brewer has been subjected to demonstrations, outrage, and protests from the liberal left, the massed illegal element, and even the President of Mexico. She has bravely stood her ground against this assault, and thus deserves our respect and support.
How can our government, our law officials, and our citizens condone and even encourage selective enforcement of our laws? A law as serious as violating our borders and illegally sneaking into our country must be enforced….. It is a sad but true statement that under our system of law enforcement you can illegally cross our border, as long as you have your seat belt fastened while you do it! That is a terrible situation!
The degree of uproar and the amount of support from the left are indicators of the tremendous split which exists within the American society at this moment in history. While we engage in our daily routines here in our sheltered, largely conservative environment, we tend to believe that the rest of our nation basically has the same beliefs and values. These types of demonstrations vividly show we may not be the majority.
We must all remain active and involved as we approach mid term elections. If we do not regain control of our government now…… I fear our nation faces a dark and sinister future. We must “Get it Right”!
Rudiments:
Odds and Ends Worth Mentioning-
●The Marianna Business Community and the Marianna City Commission had a great workshop on the city sign ordinance last week. During that meeting there was a good, open dialogue in which the businesses expressed their problems with the existing restrictions. Hopefully, the results of this communication will be positive, and will begin to heal the wounds and conflicts of the past between the city government and the business community.
●Many of the problems presented in the sign ordinance workshop could and should be resolved through the variance process instead of through modification of the codes. However, the existing commission is controlled by a voting block which has traditionally refused to ever grant variances….justified or not. That creates a rigid, inflexible body of law which thus leads to conflict and discord. This condition can be remedied by change of practice by the Commission….or by change of commissioners by the public.
●This disaster in the Gulf will ultimately result in improved safeguards to prevent reoccurrence of the technological problem which allowed the blowout to occur. Additionally, standby booms and fire towers along the shorelines will be enforced by inspectors. However, it is worth noting that this leak would have been easy to seal if the well had been located in 200 ft. of water instead of waters a mile deep. It is located in the deep water because of environmentalist caused restrictions….so they are indirectly complicit in the cause of the problem.
●(Saying something nice) The Memorial Day ceremony was very well organized and presented. A large crowd of patriots turned out for the event, and all came away with a good feeling about America. May God bless the souls of all of those brave citizens who died defending our beliefs.
