Ahhhhhh! The old “domino theory”. THIS is what has the commie ‘RATs terrified and why they feel the urgent need to “boycott” Arizona.

This is really a slam-dunk for the GOP if they push it in the fall. Who in their right mind is against enforcing existing laws?

Even the people of socialist Massachusetts know that Arizona is doing the right thing.

Jay Severin, a talk show host, discussed the matter today. I forget his exact words but he said something to this effect “Today it is Phoenix, tomorrow it is where you live. Do you want to fight today or are you going to wait for tomorrow?”

I used to listen to Jay here in Arizona many moons ago before talk radio exploded. I always like that guy.

But, if the Senate votes on it, Scott Brown will vote against it with the Dems.

Two points you overlook. The GOP does not want to control the border. You only need look at the history of the last 30 years to see this.

Second, even now with overwhelming public support for closing the border, it has been only lip service and panders to voters by the GOP.

Folks, you need to watch the other hand.

It starts with “fighting terrorism” and “immigration checks”, and ends with the total erosion of your rights as an American citizen.

They don not have to go crazy with new controls to manage the border. You know it, and I know it.

If I was out to take your rights, I wouldn’t announce my intentions in the town square. I’d find a way to get you to HELP ME DO IT.

Wake up!

LOL!!!! This is the most hilarious article I’ve read in a while. It might as well have been titled ‘Clueless in MA want illegals IDed’. The MA electorate is cosmically stupid. Helloooooooo....its the dem party (mostly) thats allowed/enabled illegals to live off the public pot. Morons...you’re voting against your own interests when you press the ‘D’ button and expect results not in keeping w/ their well publicized anti-American agenda.

Once, a long time ago before finding “Free Republic”, I sent him a note. I was complimenting him on an article he did for “MSNBC” on their page. (that being an irony, because someone on there mentioned “Free Republic”, I believe)

Anyway, upon sending him a complimentary note on the article, he sent a short note back thanking me! I didn’t always like what he had to say, or always agree with him. However, the article he wrote appealed to me! Seemed to be mostly a gracious fellow!
