I’m wearin’ red today – how about you? You want to let the fine Men and Women of the Armed Forces know that you support them? Wear red on Friday!

Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the “Toughest Sheriff” located here in Maricopa County, has his problems. Liberal journalists (yes, EJ Montini, I’m talking about YOU) don’t like him because he is forward, straight talking and decidedly not PC.
Oh, and he’s tough on crime. That really ticks off the left.
His latest exploits have included painting the jail buses with murals that include a hotline for suspected illegals. Yeah, another thing the libs hate. People who don’t want illegals to invade this country.
Sheriff Joe has recently targeted some known illegals’ areas in a crime sweep – that is, the Sheriff’s office will blanket an area and stop all traffic and ask for ID. That ID will be run through a quickie background check. Wants and warrants will result in detention, as will the inability to produce legal ID. Self-declared illegals will get a ticket on the fast bus south; those who are snagged for wants and warrants who turn out to be here illegally will also ride south, but after serving time in some of Joe’s tents.
The liberal media has been warning of a “backlash” to all this activity, coupled with the voters’ wish of actually enforcing immigration and employment laws, and it has started to show itself.
First, there was the dropping unemployment rate. Arizona as a whole is enjoying the shrinking line at the jobless office.
Second was the traffic situation. With fewer illegals in the area, traffic has been reduced.
Third was evident yesterday. You know, the day “all” illegals were going to “protest” their “lack” of “rights” in a country they have illegally invaded?
(uh, yeah – about that. if you aren’t here legally, you have no rights under the constitution of The United States. become a citizen, and enjoy all the rights and privileges thereunto pertained.)
well, other cities enjoyed the sight of all those illegals gathering in one place, making them a prime target for a roundup. Here in Arizona, the “leaders” of the pro-illegals (they actually call themselves “Immigrants Without Borders. huh. if there are no borders, then there is no such thing as an immigrant, right? morons.) did not organize a protest rally, given the demonstrations that have erupted both in support of and against the recent sweeps by law enforcement. Well, wah. They don’t seem to have any problem with their demonstrations when they are disrupting the lives of everyone else, but people show they are serious about not wanting illegals invading this country, and the criminal leaders – er, uhm – “organizers” wimp out.
I was looking forward to Joe rounding them all up and running them all through the wants and warrants system…
Instead, the “organizers” of this non-event have opted for a different way to show they are serious about this subject. You guessed it – they are going to perform a protest march from Tucson to Phoenix, ending at the state capital on May 11. (Joe – there’s a hot tip for ya, bud)
This is a very smart move on the part of the “organizers” as it will demonstrate what these illegals had to go through in order to get here. No, wait, they think it will highlight the inhumane treatment of immigrants. Really? The immigrants I see are in good shape, what with coming here through legal means and all. The only ones I see struggling are the ones who snuck in here under the wire. And, just for your information, “Immigrants Without Brains,” marching in the desert as a public protest is kinda stupid, what with no roads and no media coverage, don’t ya think? But please, be sure to file your route with the appropriate law enforcement offices – they’ll take good care of you.

I’m wearing the “Patriot” today. Click on the logo above to see where I got my red shirt, and please feel free to snag the logo and link to place on your site to help spread the word. The shirts are reasonably priced, and everything (above the cost of the shirt) goes into the purchase and mailing of personal items for our troops overseas.
Be sure to check out today’s The O Word on BlogTalkRadio – you may get to hear my special guest, MEG, give her opinion on the Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

Dear Time Magazine:
First, let me reassure you that I fully support your right to free speech, and I will defend to the death your right to make a complete and total ass out of yourself. Looks like you’ve accomplished that with your planned cover for the April 21, 2008 issue.
For shame, Time. You, of all institutes, should have realized that you were messing with something much more important than life and death. You have taken on the collective memories and history of the United States Marine Corps in general, World War II veterans specifically, and Ira Hayes, Mike Stranko, Franklin Sousley, Rene Gagnon, Harlon Block, and John Bradley exactly.
What would induce you to think that the American public (other than left leaning, liberal, global warming-panic-stewards) would see this as an acceptable use of this icon? “Global warming” is an unproven MYTH of enormous proportions inflated to emergency status by the myopic and stunted memory of people who forget that weather cycles are just that – CYCLES – and everything will balance out in the end. Using the photograph of the flag-raising on Mt. Surabachi to further the falsified claims that we, as mere humans, can affect something on a global scale is pure hogwash.
If I were a subscriber, I would cancel my subscription. Since I’m not, I will be boycotting your company and everything you touch. Even if you withdraw this cover and apologize, I will make sure not to give you another red cent of my hard earned dollars for the crap you have tried to foist on the people of the world.
Sincerely,
