My Hometown

First off, I want to explain what this blog will be about. There are a lot of stupid people in this world that, for fear of being politically incorrect, or trying to be sensitive, or show some false respect for our fellow human beings, we actually fail them by not calling them out.

To be fair I will try to show some of that respect to my fellow human beings so, as my parents used to tell me, I'm not calling said subject of the day stupid, I'm saying what they are doing is stupid. We have to have some hope that maybe if we call the stupidness to their attention that maybe they will take some time to reflect and change their stupid ways and try to be helpful in this world rather than hurtful.

This blog will obviously deal with many political issues because, lets face it, that is where most of the stupid ideas come from, but I will tackle any stupidness that I see out there and do my part to help rid the world of it. Feel free to let me know about any stupidness that I may have missed and we can tackle it together. I also will not shy away from pointing the arrow towards me if it is justified. Sometimes the lowest common denominator is like an undertow. Venturing into the world of stupidness it might be hard to not get trapped so I look to you to help me by commenting whether you agree or disagree.

Now, onto my first post referring to the picture you see (I will try to stay more current in the future but there are some recent things that have happened that I feel I must address). My old state, Arizona. I'm sure you've heard of a little law called SB1070. I won't go into details because, unless you're stupid, you know all about it. It was supposed to go into full effect at the end of July but Judge Susan Bolton, in her effort to fight stupidness, blocked the key provisions that one can definitely argue are unconstitutional.

Now, they're not unconstitutional because, let's face it, it would implore state police to racially profile and cause actual citizens to have to carry around their "papers" like Jews had to do in Nazi Germany. The provisions are unconstitutional because it is the Federal Government's responsibility to carry out immigration enforcement. If Sen. Pearce and Gov. Jan Brewer were really fed up with the Feds (Fed up with the Feds - nice catchphrase) there were much less stupid ways to get the Feds involved in what they saw as a problem with illegal immigration. To try and dance around the constitution is really just a power struggle between a state and their central government.

There's a reason the Feds deal with immigration. That way there are centralized and uniformed laws dealing with the issue. Every state can't have different laws dealing with foreign policy. It just ain't prudent.

And it is hard to forget that Gov. Jan Brewer is directly linked with AZ private prisons that would directly profit from this law. When asked about this connection she just stares at the cameras with a blank face.

Now, why didn't I try to catch a picture with Jan Brewer or Sen. Pearce? Well, other than the obvious reasons of probably getting arrested for accosting them Jan Brewer is leading her opponent by 20%! Even after this performance during a televised debate earlier this month! Shame on you AZ. Seriously? You want that woman as your leader? Even if you agree with SB1070 (and if you do, I'd love to get a picture with you!) how can you take that woman seriously?! Now, I know this is a state that voted for Evan Mecham but you eventually learned your lesson and impeached him!

Please, vote for anyone other than Jan Brewer. I implore you to think for just a minute and I'm sure you'll come to the same conclusion that she shouldn't be the head of anything especially the beautiful state of Arizona.
