Yesterday during a court case on the Arizona Immigration Law supporters of the bill showed up to rally for the bill.
This really makes me miss the old days where racists kept their opinions to themselves because it was shameful to be so openly racist. Apparently people are much more tolerant of mouth breathing a-holes these days. I suppose that explains how Republicans stand to gain seats in today's elections.
This really isn't the case it's mostly wishful thinking.
ReplyDeleteAssorted Militias and other Para-Military and often racist wing nut groups. Always have a swell in membership when a Democrat is in the Whitehouse.
All the teabaggers want is to go back to "The good old days" of Reagan.
They have this idealized version and vision of the 1980s.
They seem to have this amazing ability to disconnect the Reagan spending spree and the strong economy in the 80s...
SC Rose,
ReplyDeleteI define the Arizona law as racist because it really only applies to one segment of the population. If Cops were told to ask for papers from every citizen it pulls over then it eliminates the overt racism from the bill. I have a feeling that many of those who support the bill would find it objectionable if they had to produce extra documentation.
I'm not questioning if the AZ bill is racist or not.
ReplyDeleteThe reason I say this is and was expected is before the bill was passed.
A Militia group was doing armed patrols of the boarder.
They only odd thing is that due to the overall increase in overt racism in the country.
The militia activities have been given legal protection.
Actions and reactions are very typical
This something that's somewhat related
The the price of ammo has gone up by over 300%
A box of 9mm ammo that cost around five bucks in 2007 is going for twenty or even thirty dollars right now.
Two things factor in
1) Middle east wars
2) Ammo hording by the teabaggers.
A week after President Obama won the election the price of guns more than doubled.
The NRA did a dandy job so making making people shit themselves over the Democrats wanting to take their guns...
The simple fact is no new firearms regulations came out of Washington and many "Red States" actually loosened the existing gun laws.
So the gun laws are actually more relaxed than ever...
If only Democrats had such intense fears over something like the NRA members do with gun rights, we might have not lost so many seats recently. I think NRA members vote almost 100% Republican because they are paranoid. Would you agree that there seems to be more support for overtly racist comments/actions?
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteI'm a yellow dawg Democrat and NRA member in good standing.
Maybe you'll recognize this
