Right Wing Agenda

The rhetoric about the new Arizona anti immigration law seems to be getting out of hand. I doubt the law will pass constitutional muster but I can tell you why it passed and why an overwhelming majority of Arizonans support it. The law has nothing to do with racism it is about crime. The increase in crime committed by illegal aliens in Arizona over the last 5 years is unprecedented. Most Arizonans don’t care about the guys standing around Home Depot but we do care that about half of the Police officers that have been killed in Phoenix over the last 5 years were killed by illegal aliens. We do care that Phoenix is becoming the kidnapping capital of the world. We care that every week they find another drop house full of illegal immigrants that are being tortured and humiliated by coyotes. We care that the Mexican side of the border is a war zone with mass murders and beheadings and don’t want that spilling over into Arizona. I used to travel into Sonora often but for the last 5 years I’ve stayed away because of all the violence. A large portion of the Arizona population is Hispanic and there is no way to have 70% in favor of this law without much of the Hispanic community agreeing also. The reason they agree is probably because they are about twice as likely to be affected by illegal immigrant crime as any other group. Finally, President Calderon is a big hypocrite to complain about Arizona. If you are an illegal in Mexico you will be fined, placed in jail, and then deported. Mexican immigration laws are much stricter than the US, even Arizona.

As of today one person has died of the Swine flu in the US and we now have over 300 schools closed and less than a 150 cases reported. Each year the regular seasonal flu kills about 36000 people in the US according to the CDC and results in no school closures or panic. Obama has promised to spend 1.5 billion dollars to combat the swine flu epidemic. This really is the perfect non-crisis crisis for Obama to solve. I suspect he’s mostly terrified of the idea of this becoming his own Katrina and has pulled out all the stops. No matter how many people the swine flu eventually kills, Obama will be able to say that he was the reason it wasn’t higher. The media has done a pretty good job of striking panic into a large percent of the world population already. We really don’t need Biden to fuel the fire further by stating he would advise people not to travel on planes or stay in confined spaces. The present economic recession doesn’t need less consumer confidence. At least the administration didn’t order all of our pigs to slaughter. If you do get the swine flu the symptoms are exactly the same as the regular seasonal flu according to Dr. Fukuda from WHO. That means that the vast majority of people who unfortunately do get sick will recover just fine.

All right liberals you now own the White House, the House, and the Senate so I think it is time to remove the bumper stickers from your cars. It’s a little late to “Impeach Bush” as I saw today mixed with about 20 other liberal mantras covering the backside of a Ford Fusion. I’ve also seen a number of Obama campaign bumper stickers plastered on Priuses. This just seems redundant. Of course you voted for Obama you drive a Prius. Would any self-respecting conservative own a Prius? We might buy a hybrid because we are tired of paying high gas prices but you damn well know it’s going to be a hybrid SUV. The Prius is a big Obama bumper sticker all to itself. Toyota should really just change the name to the Toyota Obama. Better yet just hyphenate it and call it the Toyota Prius-Obama. Liberals love to hyphenate last names. Toyota may be unwilling to do this but we can force US automakers to conform to a new hybrid naming convention. Any automaker that receives a bailout should be required to hyphenate all hybrid models with Obama. The new 2010 lineup will include the Saturn Vue-Obama, the Ford Fusion-Obama, and my favorite the Chevy Malibu-Obama. The Chevy Malibu-Obama feels good to say and I imagine Malibu Barbie slowly making her way to the beach all the while knowing  she is doing her part to help the environment.
