Racially charged, divisively profiled...

I really don't understand why O is attacking this AZ law. Now Holder is "considering" another charge of racial profiling. Is this for real? How is it possible for a state in this country to be "sued" "attacked" and otherwise defamed for enacting a law that is nearly verbatim federal law? I'm glad they wrote and passed the policy. I wish PA would do it too. Maybe Nutjob Nutter would get tossed out of office. I'm not sure if he was a step up, down or sideways form Street. I suppose that the particular policy enacted in AZ could be considered "racial profiling". But, if they are racially profiling under that law, they had to have been doing it before the new law. The new law still requires officers to have just cause to pull anyone over. The strange new objectionable part is that they now require papers if they fit the racial profile. It's interesting isn't it that affirmative action (a supposedly great thing) requires racial profiling too. I mean, I'm not able to get a scholarship because of affirmative action. It's ok, I didn't need it. I worked my rear off to get what I've got, and I'm not giving it away unless I want to.
I don't mind if someone wants to racially profile me, maybe I'd know exactly what kind of American mutt I am.

I guess they need help then...

"Arizonans are understandably frustrated with illegal immigration, and the federal government has a responsibility to comprehensively address those concerns," Attorney General Eric Holder said in a written statement. "But diverting federal resources away from dangerous aliens such as terrorism suspects and aliens with criminal records will impact the entire country's safety. Setting immigration policy and enforcing immigration laws is a national responsibility. Seeking to address the issue through a patchwork of state laws will only create more problems than it solves." -AG Eric Holder


It seems that since the feds would have to "divert... resources..." blah blah blah, that the AZ law is fantastic. The feds no longer have to worry about illegals in AZ. There. Go suck an egg DC. I guess it would also put the financial responsibility for the incarceration of the illegals on AZ. That's a good thing too DC. Go suck another egg.

The old "shuck and jive"...

Shuckin' and jivin' (or shucking and jiving) is a slang term primarily used by African Americans. It refers to the speech and behavioral mechanisms adopted in the presence of an authoritative figure [1]. Shuckin' and jivin' usually involves clever lies and impromptu storytelling, used to one-up an opponent or avoid punishment [2]. Such behavior is believed to have originated in the era of slavery [3].

I'm going to use shuck and jive in the Hazzard County dialect tonight.

Shuck #1

The health care reform won't cover illegal aliens.

Jive #1

Illegal aliens were already "covered" by the federal law prohibiting hospitals from turning anyone in need of care away.

Jive #1 addendum

The US taxpayer was already footing the bill for the illegal alien taking advantage of Jive #1.

Jive #2 for shuck #1

The health care reform covers all citizens of the US. The amnesty is coming. See Shuck #1 and refer again to jive #2 of shuck #1.


Shuck #2

George Bush was a loser. He is the reason people died during Katrina for his lack of response.

Jive #1 for Shuck #2

It took George Bush about 5 days to organize a task force for Katrina relief. The oil rig explosion happened eleven days ago today. What has O done? Since the libs have held Bush accountable for all of the lives lost in NO, I'll personally hold O responsible for all of the marine life that floats to the top, well, just under the oil.

Shuck #3

The AZ "illegal immigrant" law is unconstitutional, unjust, unfair, will cause more prejudice, harassment and profiling.

Jive#1 for Shuck #3

"The Law" is nearly verbatim of the US constitution. AZ passed the law to unshuck the schmucks in DC. Since the feds don't do it, the state will, and should, and will. Good for them. When will the rest of the states follow?

Shuck #4

Government oversight is good.

Jive #1 for Shuck #4

Huh? What have they ever done correctly, efficiently, in a timely manner, and without driving us deeper into debt?
