Morning everyone – it’s that time again – we need to bring some of the aging drums of creepy up from the back and dispose of them.
Let’s get the air scrubbers cranked up, because our first blast from the recent past is –
ICE, ICE, baby!
Homeland Security suspends immigration agreements with Ariz. police

The Obama administration said Monday it is suspending existing agreements with Arizona police over enforcement of federal immigration laws, and said it has issued a directive telling federal authorities to decline many of the calls reporting illegal immigrants that the Homeland Security Department may get from Arizona police.
Administration officials, speaking on condition they not be named, told reporters they expect to see an increase in the number of calls they get from Arizona police — but that won’t change President Obama’s decision to limit whom the government actually tries to detain and deport.
“We will not be issuing detainers on individuals unless they clearly meet our defined priorities,” one official said in a telephone briefing.
The official said that despite the increased number of calls, which presumably means more illegal immigrants being reported, the Homeland Security Department is unlikely to detain a significantly higher number of people and won’t be boosting personnel to handle the new calls.

Direct violation of the oath of office on the part of every cabinet member and Obama himself.
Every one of them should be arrested.

I’ve got a great idea – you should make a Citizen’s Arrest! Do that, and let me know how it comes out – by mail, not in person.

And how did that work out for you mental defectives thelast time you tried it (in 1998)?
Knock yourselves out.

Time for the state to go rogue.
Reminds me of an old joke that I’ll rework for this situation:
A Californian, an Arizonan, and a Mexican national are walking along the beach at Padre island, and discover a half-buried oil lamp. One quick rub later, a Djinn appears and grants them each one wish.
The Mexican national says: “I wish to be with my family, and for my villiage to have sufficient food and money for no one to ever have to go away to work again.
*BOOM* – he disappears. “Wish granted” says the Djinn.
The Arizonan is next. He says: “I’m tired of all these illegals trying to come into my state – I want a wall around it to stop all the wetbacks out and keep Real Americans like me in.
*BOOM* – he disappears. “Wish granted” says the Djinn.
The Californian gets a thoughtful look on his face and says to the Djinn: “Tell me about that wall, please.”
The Djinn says: “It is a hundred feet high and thirty feet thick, and is completely impregnable!”
The Californian smiles, and says: “OK. Fill it with water.”
…immigrant-rights groups saying they led to abuses…
So sue…where are the records of abuse?

Tear your ass.
No, you’re looking toward the past – 1861, to be exact.
And if we cannot quickly recover, the end of liberty in America. America’s great experiment in self-government by believers in life and liberty destroyed, not by the liberal progressive statists of the Democrat party, but by the liberal progressive statists of the Republican party. Where the statist Democrats have failed, the statist GOP-e will have succeeded.
There is absolutely no doubt that Romney’s pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, pro-socialist healthcare, statist big government record is identical to Obama’s. Once upon a time in the not so distant past, conservatives automatically shunned big government statists. The GOP-e and the malignant genius, Karl Rove, figured out how to outflank us and turn the GOP totally against Reagan conservatism and against pro-Life, pro-family, pro-small government conservatives. It’s an engineered coup d’etat against traditional small government conservatism and it is deadly.
THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but “to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER” and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God.
The fear of Obama has turned many among us into squishes who will set the pro-life conservative movement back forty years or more by surrendering to the abortionist/homosexualist, statist progressive, big government, corruptcrony capitalist agenda within the GOP.
You’d better hope Jim Rob never watched it either.
