this sounds like

maybe I'm "kicking a dead horse"...but...this business with Arizona and the new law it enacted is very bothersome.

I'm beginning to believe we may be seeing the "beginning of the end" of a cohesive United States, as we once knew it.

Bill Klinton fired the opening salvo with his "i did not have sex with that woman" scandal, beginning the "what does 'if' mean?" and allowing computer technology to be transferred to China that now allows them to hack our pentagon's computers, ignored the flow of illegal aliens into the country...

George Bush made the award winning plays of allowing gasoline to skyrocket in price, to nearly $5.00 per gallon here where i live, as an example, housing prices to get so unbelievably high that NO ONE that makes under half-a-million a year to purchase a run-of-the-mill tract house...i read in the news at one time the AVERAGE cost of the AVERAGE, previously owned house in the San Francisco area, was nearly a million dollars! i know it to be a fact, because my wife and i looked into purchasing a new house in this area (not San Francisco) for quite a lengthy time, there was NOTHING, available for less than $350,000.00...we were having a table repaired at a furniture repair business where we live near to and the owner told us that his mother had recently died and he sold her SINGLE WIDE, one BR, 1 bathroom, mobile, in a mobile home park on a "Postage stamp sized lot, that she didn't even own, she rented the space from the park" for $125,000.00! I've seen the park he spoke of many times; it is NOT the country club...believe me! he also, blatantly, ignored the flood of illegal aliens across the southern border saying "oh, they're just good, hard working people looking for work..."

now, we have a so-called "president" and "congress" who are very sympathetic to the illegal alien cause. they go so far as to applaud the president of Mexico when he publicly slams our laws of immigration while addressing our own "congress"! our own "president" says "our immigration laws are broken" ...huh? it's more like they're being ignored by the federal government!

residents of Arizona are being murdered, human and drug smugglers now invade the city of Phoenix and the corridor that leads north from the border to there, with relative ease and regularity. in one incident, there were enough of them that were well enough armed and trained to engage the Phoenix PD SWAT AND VERY NEARLY WON THE ENGAGEMENT! as i recall, a number of SWAT officers were badly wounded.

that's just one of many incidents that have prompted the leaders of Arizona to do what they did in passing legislation.

governor Brewer has written an appeal to, what's his name? the guy in the white house...to "do your job and protect our borders...". to date she's gotten no response from him.

the current head of Homeland Security, Janet Napalitano, former gov of Arizona herself, wrote letters to the administration asking the same and got no response. and...to boot...she ignores the letters from the governor now that she's head of homeland security. what gives?

Hillary Klinton blamed "guns from the U.S." as the leading cause of the violence. so...that will probably be this administrations response to the illegal alien and border violence; to attack the 2nd amendment and honest, law abiding gun owners here by punishing them for owning guns!

i read a recent journalists report on the guns the Mexican authorities have seized in raids, that stated that most were of foreign origin, mostly from the former Soviet Union, and American MILITARY arms. i even saw pictures of one such seizure that included an MG-42...a WWII German MG! now...the average American citizen is NOT allowed to own things like that or the M203's, RPG's, hand grenades and other fully automatic weapons that were displayed...

so how DID they get these arms?

as the journalist who wrote the article said: "more than likely from Mexican military deserters, corrupt Mexican military members selling to them, smuggling them across the border AND, they were given to Mexico by the U.S. to aid them in combating the drug cartels, but ended up in the wrong hands."

i ask you...why, if that's true, should the average, law abiding, gun owning citizen be penalized for that?

in this convoluted, sick, congress' minds...it would not surprise me...
