Defending Arizona: Our AWOL Representatives


WHERE are our sitting US Senators, McCain and Kyl, all our Arizona Congressmen and Congresswomen, publically and vociferously defending Arizona and Arizona local law enforcement on the floor of the Senate and the House and through every and all media outlet, against the Obama Administration’s cynical and toxic approval of coordinated campaigns to dishonestly smear our police, sheriffs and deputies as racists, agitating street violence by bussing in professional protestors with radios and scanners to harass, interfere with, abuse and exhaust local law enforcement officers?  WHERE are they denouncing all Unconstitutional actions to destroy domestic tranquillity by divisive and damaging boycotts against Arizona and Arizonans?

AZ law enforcement is under siege and our two senators are AWOL; AWOL for Federal enforcement actions, border security and AWOL for addressing local AZ state hardships. Aren’t they sent to Washington by the citizens of this state to advocate and use all their political skills to insure that Federal border responsibilities are met for the protection of Arizonans, and by that, all Americans? Pick a random agitator from one of “32 unions” advertised as rolling into Arizona this past week from out of state, and ask what party they vote for: DEMOCRAT. Pick a random boycotting-voting LA City Council member, what party are they of: DEMOCRAT. A California city mayor decreeing a rupture of city business with Arizona: DEMOCRAT. A random pick of a boycotting non-governmental organization voter from say, La Raza: DEMOCRAT. An Arizona-elected Congressman encouraging a boycott of Arizonans for wanting to enforce the laws of our nation: DEMOCRAT. An Arizona city mayor disparaging the men and women in the police and sheriff’s departments who keep him safe: DEMOCRAT.  Given that partisan behavior, how much credibile action to preserve our domestic tranquillity can we expect from ANY of our representatives who belong to the Democratic Party?   NO respresentative, Democrat or Republican should have anything to do with such corrosive tactics, but evidently the Democrats perceive too much politican gain to listen to reason or to refresh their oaths to preserve the Constitution. 

It’s more than a disgrace that this is falling along partisan political lines when the threat to our domestic tranquility – our local, state and national security – will negatively affect everyone, no matter the political party or ideology. With the Democratic Party loyalties of the overwhelming majority of the agitators, on the streets, in the courts, in the media, and in Congress, and nothing but divisive rhetoric coupled with willingness to act on boycotting from the Democratic Party, we look to the Republican Party to bring this back to reason, rationality and self-preservation of the nation.

So, where are the REPUBLICANS who are DENOUNCING this injustice? Arizona sent not one, but TWO Republican Senators to Washington. Where are the photos of them standing shoulder to shoulder with Governor Jan Brewer, or with Sheriff Joe Arpaio, or the deputies of Maricopa county, or the police of Nogales and Tucson, or relentlessly on national media insisting that freedom to speak one’s mind politically, and peaceful marches is one thing, but blocking traffic, making physical obstructions so that citizens can’t get to work on time, defacing and damaging public and private property, engineering chaos so that businesses can’t reach their customers, anarchist mobbing and banging at the county jail gates as part of a plan to harass and overwhelm policing,” is quite another thing. So is inexcusable silence from ALL our elected officials as Arizonans are smeared nationally by the Democrats in the administration, the Congress, the national media, and internationally by our State Department, hypocritically employing what they claim they are against,  massive group stereotyping and profiling, as “racists.”

Hispanic” is a precise term in linguistics, but a very mushy and undefined one in international terms, encompassing people from over a dozen countries – on three continents, with many accents, dialects and cultural differences. Does this “Hispanic” favoritism extend to the Spanish of Spain or the West Africans of the Spanish Western Sahara or is it really code for a specific country, favored even over its own “Hispanic” neighbors? With “brown people” invoked even more frequently by Democrats now than “Hispanic,” then surely the Hispanics of Africa’s Equatorial Guinea are far browner than ANY Central or South American could EVER aspire to be, so by the reasoning, shouldn’t then Equatorial Guineans get to be head of the line for a freebie to definitely prove to everyone that Americans or specifically Arizonans, are not racists?

If the oft-invoked, yet actually undefined “Hispanic” community succeeds in unlawfully forcing capitulation to allow “Hispanic” foreigners of a specified geopolitical zone, to jump the queue of legal applications for US citizenship, before all others, then who’s the NEXT group who will try mob rule to get what they want?  If it works, then it’ll become the “process.”  How many people doing it by the book will throw down their two-three-four-five years of applications, paperwork and fees with a, “The hell with this!” in disgust?

Arizona is already host to organized crime expanding out of its base in Mexico.  That the average Arizonan citizen doesn’t see much of it is a testimony to the effectiveness and diligence of our LOCAL law enforcement in confronting and containing this violent and dangerous foreign-based criminality.  WHERE are our elected officials publically thanking our law enforcement, showing solidarity, and assuring them and the public, in word and in deed, that they back every single man and women in law enforcement in Arizona?

Actions have consequences, long term consequences, sometimes irrevocable consequences. Degeneration and decay take far less energy and effort than advancement and improvement.  A loss of trust is nearly impossible to restore.  A failure to uphold fair application of laws will lead to rampant lawlessness in all levels of society.  An unwillingness to defend, by representatives who were elected by their constituents, who are the PEOPLE of the Constitution of the United States, is a failure and especially in this case, that has long-term local, state and national ramifications, none of them positive.  The People, as voters, have the responsibility to chose their representatives wisely, take personal responsibility to become informed, to be active, and to hold their representatives accountable.

Perhaps Americans have to live through a period of chaos and destruction before they truly comprehend what they had, and squandered … but with little hope then of ever recovering it.

  3. The author lived a total of nine years in Lagos, Nigeria and Abidjan, Ivory Coast and was a first hand witness to the lawlessness and societal breakdown that has become characteristic of those once prosperous and safe nations.

    The failure of the national government to support policing has grotesquely degraded local law enforcement in both those countries, which has permitted rarely challenged criminal gang networks, rampant criminality, shake-downs, car jackings, organized waves of house invasions that encompass entire neighborhoods, protection rackets, systematic targeted robberies of businesses and banks.

    During the 1990s, the situation in Lagos, Nigeria had become so untenable, so unsafe, that the national government assigned Colonel Marwa to oversee Lagos and its security. Marwa instituted “Operation Sweep” which was comprised of rapid response teams of military police. Dozens of gangs were confronted, at losses the gangs couldn’t support. Lagos entered a period of calm and renewed confidence, renewed consumer confidence, renewed personal security. Mass coordinated robbery sprees began manifesting for the first time in other cities as gangs fled Lagos to set up operations elsewhere.

    Colonel Marwa’s earnest effectiveness in restoring local security in Lagos earned him over three botched assassination attempts, which were traced not to the criminal gangs, but to the national government which was afraid of his skyrocketing popular approval and popular support.

    Sheriff Babeu vents after last week’s Federal government-supported block of law enforcement in Arizona, which was accompanied by paid, organized street abuse of AZ law enforcement.

  5. McCain felt it necessary to solicit Sheriff Paul Babeu to lend his law enforcement credibility to enhance McCain’s senate campaign.

    WHERE is McCain now after Sheriff Babeu’s deputies have had a bad week being abused by paid agitators? Where was McCain LAST week steaming into the cameras that AZ elected officials are 100% behind our AZ law enforcement, BEFORE the highly publicized caravans left California for Arizona?

    SILENCE.

    Very well said wanumba.

    I’m going to re-read your post several times since it contains so much good information.

    Areas of the U.S. are starting to acquire the characteristics of the dysfunctional regimes to our south, as more and more illegals enter our country to do us harm. Some parts of California look like Mexicali and Tijuana. I guess this is just a coincidence.

    Unfortunately, the loaded word “racist” has become equivalent to the the pejorative, catch-all moniker “hooligan,” that was used by the communists demonize and brand people in Soviet Russia as enemies of the totalitarian, socialist state.

    The problem is, once you silence, by force, legitimate concerns of true patriotic Americans — even moderate or liberal-leaning conservatives — you move quickly into a coercive, authoritarian ambit that stifles legitimate expression, leaving almost no way of deescalating tensions.

    Throw in a government siding with the ACLU to hurl lawsuits indiscriminately; thereby, forcing law enforcement into diverting critical time, money and resources toward defending their selves for simply doing their jobs defending America, and you have the perfect formula for the wholesale disarming of our national protection.

    In the book “Courting Disaster…” you can read how the Maobama administration is going after intelligence operatives with lawsuits forcing them to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend themselves for legitimate, lawful actions to defend America from terrorists under the Bush administration. The intelligence community is now paralyzed with fear to act because they don’t know if what is legal today will be deemed illegal tomorrow by a socialist, Democratic president bent on transforming America into a socialist nightmare.

    Bill “I don’t want to go there” Gates should be one of the most outspoken critics of Maobama, as former head of the CIA, but, as usual, he’s a silent useful idiot as the Stalinesque purges of our intel community continue unabated and lives and careers are destroyed.

    South Africa is an absolute nightmare when it comes to crime and confusion. The moral anarchy there has led to social disintegration and the wholesale collapse of civilized society.

    It doesn’t matter how racist, xenophobic, provincial, ethnocentric or exclusionary, or how much of an insatiable need they have to tap into our taxpayer-supported social services and drain them, our new “undocumented Americans” have brown skin; hence, to the psychotic liberal mind, they are inviolate and can do no wrong.

    This type of attitude, coming from the liberal left, is beyond counterproductive, it’s quite revolutionary and alien to the egalitarian sentiments of the majority of Americans, and preys on their natural inclination for fairness and to give the other guy a chance.

    Besides, in the eyes of the neo-socialist Democrats, a good portion of America used to be Mexico anyway, so it’s time for a little “payback.”

    Here’s an interesting article entitled detailing explosive new evidence that shows the ruling of judge Bolton to be illegal:

    Thank you.
    The sobering lesson learned was that civilization is more fragile and requires more steady, dilgent, selfless inputs than people in this country realize. Nothing can be done without rational security on our streets, for our businesses, our homes. Economic activity is tied to the level of local and national security. The less security, the less economic activity possible, the more resoruces are diverted from expansion of businesses and employment to private financing of security: guards, fences, security systems, patrols.

    The Third World is characterized by independent islands of security paid for by the wealthy amongst the sea of criminality.
    The innovation of American law enforcement has been to provide that high level of security across the society, thru many social levels, not just the rich.

    This is on the brink of being ruined by … the wealthy political class. They have the money to buy their security – all they need, no one else does.

    Will the Democrats try to pass her off as “white” and call her “racist” to preserve their fraud “narrative” of “white racism” in reverse mimickry of how the South African apartheid government had to pretzel around for diplomatic situations to avoid the apartheid rules? They called “Blacks” “Whites” for the duration of the event. Idiotic rules solved by more idiocy!

  9. “House Bill 2013″ and “SB1070″

    0 = Arizona
    2 = USA/ Our Constitution/ We the People of the United States

    We are a country that is ruled by the Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, not by the majority of the day. When you do not know the principles in these documents, therein lays the problem in losing when you are challenged in court.

    This month of July 2010, our U.S. Federal courts have found the so called State of Arizona hate filled legislation namely “House Bill 2013″ and “SB1070″ Un-constitution (So much for the intellect of Jan Brewer, “Did you read the bills you signed?”). But we all know that they will go crying to the Supreme Court of the United States, please, please, please go. We will fight you in Arizona, any other state, and yes in Washington DC. We will not tire, we will not be silent and we will persevere, I promise you.

    In my opinion the Republican Party has been taken over the most extreme of clans; the Baggers, Birthers and Blowhards (people who love to push their beliefs and hate on others while trying to take away the rights of those they just hate) and that’s who they need to extract from their party if they real want to win in November. Good Luck, because as they said in WACO, “We Ain’t Coming Out”.

    It’s all about politics: Jan Brewer you were never elected to be Governor, but you have no problem trying to get elected on the back of undocumented workers, you loser (sure you may win but the long-term effects to your so called State is just beginning). Here is a partial list of your hate filled legislation;

    1. S.B. 1070,
    2. House Bill 2013
    3. No permit conceal weapons law,
    4. The famous Birthers law,
    5. Banning Ethnic studies law,

    6. Could she be behind the Mural in Prescott, Arizona, ordered to be whiten,
    7. On deck to pass, no citizenship to babies born to undocumented workers,

    8. If she can read she should look up Arizona’s House Bill 2779 from two years ago (which was un-constitution and failed when legally challenged),
    9. The boycotted Martin Luther King Day, what idiots don’t want another holiday? Yes, you guessed it Arizona.

    Well Arizona, you can keep boycotting new holidays, passing hate filled legislation and the rest of our country will continue to challenge you in court of law and Boycott your so-called state.

    Lets face it, no one can real believe anything that comes out of Brewer’s mouth, in an interview, this year, in an attempt to gain sympathy, she first said her father had died in Germany fighting the Nazi in World War II (which ended 1945) but of course we find out the truth that father was never in Germany and died in California in 1955. But we are suppose to believe everything else she says, right!

    As they say in the World Cup: Gooooooooal!

    SO you hypocritically collect a diverse people into one big blob you then crassly stereotype, trying to lamely invoke a mishmosh tribalism, using derogatory terms designed to strip these people of their humanity, their race, their culture and ignore their grievances.

    With a statement as larded with everything you claim to be against, bigotry, racism, class warfare, intolerance, your opinion is just worthless, mean-spirited drivel.

    IF you were all you imagine yourself to be, you’d be listening to the people, trying to understand their concerns, respect their cultural heritages, and there are many many in the Tea Parties, trying to be solution-based to help people problem-solve for conflict resolution.

    First rule of diplomacy to achieve genuine peace: DO not start dialogue by calling your opponents gay bath house sex practitioners. You try that in Iran and they’ll hang you till you’re dead. Off a truck. In public.

    You feel free to malign Tea Partier Americans by the foulest adjectives you can parrot out of the echo-chamber, because fundamentally, it’s SAFE to do so. It’s chicken-sh*t SAFE. Phony posuer SAFE. It’s the most blatent admission that Tea Partiers respect freedom of speech – more than any Tea Partier can expound on – there is NO danger to you or anyone else from the Tea Party of “losing rights.” The rights you blather on about are being taken away by the sitting GOVERNMENT.

    THere’s not a soul in the Tea Party who has the access to opening your bank account, your credit record, your school records, your medical records, paw through your drivers license records, your property taxes, but Nancy Pelosi could do that, Barack Obama can do that. The media that covers for them, will dump all about YOU on the national news and then pick you apart and laugh and mock you.

    You serious about “rights?” Then put all your resources to stopping the Charles Rangel-Hillary CLinton Universal DRaft BIll. THis bill if it becomes law will reinstate a Frankenstein DRAFT, expanding it to EVERY male and female 18-42 years old.

    The bad old military DOES NOT WANT A DRAFT.
    The DEMOCRATS DO, so they are ignoring the protests of the brass.

    The DRAFT will administered by POLITICALLY FORMED DRAFT BOARDS which will assign DRAFTEES to:
    1) Military Service
    2) National Service
    3) ANY OTHER PURPOSE.

    Hullo! Slavery. WHat a great way to assign political enemies to the front lines of war and cozy political buddies to picking flowers in national parks. But “Any other purpose?” That’s ANYTHING, ANY TIME.
    AND if you try to skip or dodge, you go to prison.

    End of privately owned and run businesses. If ANYONE can be yanked out of their work at ANY time between the ages of 18-42, our most productive years, then NO ONE can establish a business.

    What do you expect from the Democratic Party, which now controls the executive and legislative branches of our national government, the Political Party that wanted to preserve slavery so bad it plunged the nation into civil war, that was such a sore loser it cooked up Jim Crow Laws, the KKK, and fought tooth and nail against the Civil Rights Act?

    What a farce you rail against CITIZENS while you ignore the rights-crushing Democratic Party political machine.

    Maybe life would make more sense if you lay off those ‘big red pills’ you so highly recommend.

  12. Wanumba/ The Klute: Please let me know how you feel about John Ensign (R-NV) or Scott Brown (R-MA), pray tell.

    I thought Republicans were about taking responsibility, come on it is time to be a man and take responsibility of what your party did to our nation through back door deals and alright theft. They only protect corporate interest (foreign or domestic) and the few rich. Are you surprised that “Fake News” majority interest is Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal who has publicly acknowledged that he has forced Fox News to edit its coverage he disliked, conservative activists have attacked the business partnership as “really dangerous for America.” So when our Supreme Court allowed any corporation (foreign or domestic) to influence elections through unlimited funding well there you have it, Republicans win, our country will lose.

    I know the proponents of this law say that the majority approves of this law, but the majority is not always right. Would women or non-whites have the vote if we listen to the majority of the day, would the non-whites have equal rights (and equal access to churches, housing, restaurants, hotels, retail stores, schools, colleges and yes water fountains) if we listen to the majority of the day? We all know the answer, a resounding, NO! You were all wrong then and you are wrong now!

    We are a country that is ruled by the Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, not by the majority of the day. When you do not know the principles in these documents, and pass laws that do not meet the prescribe standards therein lays the problem in losing when you are challenged in court.

    I must say victory is sweet but I promise you I will see you the Supreme Court of the United States to end this matter.

    Future (Incase you bring it up):

    Palin……Wow, Reporter, Politician, Comedian, Commentator, Grizzly Mama, “Jack of all trades, master of none”. Palin is a fool and we all make fun of them don’t we, that’s why she went to “Fake News”, duh!”.

    Real the “Boy scouts Jamboree”, real? Are you saying he disrespect our boys in uniform?, please. Or is he more focused on speaking to adults (The View) about what he is doing to fix our nation (those boys can’t vote, you know). And so you know (or take a look yourself) Twelve other presidents have skipped the Jamboree, including Ronald Reagan (he missed all of them), Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon and yes even Dwight D. Eisenhower, among others, so, honestly, who cares, I don’t.

Speak Your Mind
