To all you nay-sayers out there that are so venomous in your attacks against Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and the recent legislation she signed......I suggest you form a wagon train and head to the regions of Mexico, Guatamala, El Salvador and the likes! Personally, I have great respect for the Arizona State Legistlature and Governor Brewer! I tip my hat to them and hope daily that they achieve the results they so desperately seek.
Let's start with the fact that this is the United States of America.....not Mexico or any of the other countries that are so up in arms against the actions of Arizona to protect themselves, their families and their way of life. Other countries have no business whatsoever telling the United States or any state in the country how to run, regulate and manage their populace.
Then let's move from there to the fact that the federal government has been extremely lacking in the enforcement of our laws regarding illegal immigration. The residents of Arizona, along with California, Texas and New Mexico have suffered the effects of illegal immigration for a long time. They have asked for help and for the most part have been given little to none to stem the continuous flow of human flotsam from Central and South America. In desperation and in an attempt to stem the ever-growing wave of violence, drugs and general lack of safety for themselves and their families, they have decided to act.
In very large part, the ones loudest against the actions of Arizona are far-left leaning liberals and those who themselves are here illegally. Case in point, on May 1st, Los Angeles saw throngs of illegal immigrants take to the streets to protest Arizona'a actions. Along with them were ultra-liberal groups like the ACLU, all of who were quick to call anyone who agreed with the legistlation vile names like, "brown-shirts, nazi's, racists etc..." (Has anyone besides myself noticed how easily and quickly the term "nazi" is thrown around these days? All you have to do is disagree with any liberal and you will immediately be labeled a nazi, racist or whatever else they can come up with.)

No Experience Required
Well, it's official......! Specifically, President Obama's nomination of Elena Kagan for a seat on the U.S Supreme Court makes it official. It is now perfectly acceptable to nominate and potentially hire a person for a position in which they have absolutely no experience. One would think that if you hire a person to perform an important job or fill an important position that they would at least have some experience. Not so with this new nominee. While Kagan is a Princeton graduate, a University of Chicago law professor (yes, this is the same university that Barack Obama was a law professor at...) as well as the Dean of Harvard Law School and a Solicitor General, there is one glaring thing missing. She has NEVER, I repeat, NEVER been an judge anywhere in any court!! Never has she donned the black judicial robes and sat in judgment of even the lowliest lawbreakers or those seeking even the lowest level of civil judgment. And now, our illustrious president has nominated her for the highest level seat a judge can sit on in this country. Am I the only one that sees a major problem with this?
Imagine if you needed open-heart surgery. Now, imagine that the doctor that was going to conduct that surgery on you had NEVER done one before but had only taught about it! How comfortable would you feel in letting this doctor near you with a scalpel? I would venture to guess that not many people would be at ease with this. This situation is no different in the respect that Supreme Court justices set judicial precedent and decision making for the rest of the entire country. Do you feel comfortable with Kagan donning the black robes and making decisions in a position in which she has never even acted in the slightest judicial manner? I certainly don't.
Perhaps it has to do with her being connected with the Chicago political machine via Obama. Or perhaps, Obama himself truly sees no problem with nominating someone for the loftiest and most prestigious position in the legal field in spite of the fact that the nomineee has as much experience being a judge as I do. (That would be none by the way..) After all, Obama himself was elected to the highest executive position in the country without having any executive experience whatsoever as well!! So I guess that job experience really isn't necessary!
On a related note, I am applying for the post of U.S. Surgeon General tomorrow.....I'm sure I'll be successful!
