Second Thoughts (Hazelton Pa. Mayor praised)

Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta should be feeling good right now. He is obviously winning his war against the illegal immigrants who took over his city and changed it from a typical peaceful upstate mining town into a haven for gangs and drug pushers.

A federal judge placed a speed bump on the city by preventing officials from enforcing a pair of laws aimed at illegal immigrants.

From the same linked page:

'Off The Internet: A Wisconsin Ghost Story This happened just outside of Spooner, a little town in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, and while it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale... it's real! This out-of-state traveler was on the side of the road, hitch hiking on a very dark night in the middle of a thunderstorm. Time passed slowly and no cars went by. It was raining so hard he could hardly see his hand in front of his face. Suddenly he saw a car moving slowly, approaching and appearing ghostlike in the rain. It slowly and silently crept toward him and stopped. Wanting a ride really bad, the guy jumped in the car and closed the door; only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the wheel, and no sound of an engine to be heard over the rain! Again the car crept slowly forward and the guy was terrified, too scared to think of jumping out and running. The guy saw that the car was approaching a sharp curve and, still too scared to jump out, he started to pray and began begging for his life; he was sure the ghost car would go off the road and into a nearby lake and he would drown! But just before the curve, a shadowy figure appeared at the driver's window and a hand reached in and turned the steering wheel, guiding the car safely around the bend. Then, just as silently, the hand disappeared through the window and the hitchhiker was alone again! Paralyzed with fear, the guy watched the hand reappear every time they reached a curve. Finally the guy, scared to near death, had all he could take and jumped out of the car and ran as fast as he could into town. Wet and in shock, he went into a bar and, with a quivering voice, ordered two shots of whiskey, then told everybody about his supernatural experience. A silence enveloped and everybody got goose bumps when they realized the guy was telling the truth. About half an hour later, two guys walked into the bar and one says to the other, "Look Ole, ders dat idiot dat rode in our car when ve vuz pushin it in da rain."'

Mayor Barletta needs to tell the ACLU, the Hispanic activists, and the ACLU Shopped Federal Judge to "Bugger-Off!" to use the British vernacular. The town belongs to the good citizens of the town and not a bunch of outside provocateurs.

I used to tell people not to stay in Hazleton anymore, but if this success continues, I'll be able to tell them to stay there!

"Mayor Barletta needs to tell the ACLU, the Hispanic activists, and the ACLU Shopped Federal Judge to "Bugger-Off!" to use the British vernacular."

Basically, that's what Sheriff Arpaio is doing...doesn't give a rats azz about complaints against him. Props to them both and all the rest taking ques from their lead. We could sure use more Patriots like them to fight the OBL.

I hope this town's success starts a groundswell of support across the country for similar action by other local communities.

It just might happen in time to derail our pro-illegal immigration, pro-open borders, one-worlder president's stupid plans.

But then, how can the 'Rats continue to hold PA for themselves??? They need the illegal immigrants, dead people, and felons to vote for them multiple times...
