Arizona Sheriff: ‘Our Own Government Has Become Our Enemy’
CNSNEWS ^ | Monday August 2, 2010 | Penny Starr

Posted on 08/02/2010 6:55:58 AM PDT by Bigtigermike

Pinal County (Ariz.) Sheriff Paul Babeu, whose deputies patrol a county along the U.S.-Mexico border, is hopping mad at the federal government.

Babeu told CNSNews.com that rather than help law enforcement in Arizona stop the hundreds of thousands of people who come into the United States illegally, the federal government is targeting the state and its law enforcement personnel.

“What’s very troubling is the fact that at a time when we in law enforcement and our state need help from the federal government, instead of sending help they put up billboard-size signs warning our citizens to stay out of the desert in my county because of dangerous drug and human smuggling and weapons and bandits and all these other things and then, behind that, they drag us into court with the ACLU,” Babeu said.

The sheriff was referring to the law suits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the U.S. Department of Justice challenging the state’s new immigration law.

“So who has partnered with the ACLU?” Babeu said in a telephone interview with CNSNews.com. “It’s the president and (Attorney General) Eric Holder himself. And that’s simply outrageous.”

[......]

“Our own government has become our enemy and is taking us to court at a time when we need help,” Babeu said.

During the first years of existence, the Civil Liberties Bureau had a close relationship with the Communist Party,
Among the founders of the ACLU, or as it was originally called, the Civil Liberties Bureau, were Crystal Eastma

I gather Hayworth hasn’t been the ideal candidate. If I lived in AZ this would not matter. I’d vote against McCain regardless.

The fact that Dodd and Frank are still walking around instead of waiting for a trial, and if they are found guilty, executed.

AMEN!!!

Both are the main cause for the corruption of Fannie Mae & Freddy Mac....it has been their sand pile for years and still is. Charlie Rangle is just as dirty as are many others in our government....think of the crooks in those bloated Bureaucracies and all the little political fiefdoms in Washington not to leave out the UNIONS of all those government workers, their pensions from their unions and their government jobs....thousands & thousands of them wasting the American taxpayer $$$$$.

The Tea Party movement is the first such conservative movement in many years.....Please TP folks, get the job done of cleaning house in November, 2010!

He just hasn't had the money to go up against McCain. You would hope that that wouldn't matter in this situation - how many times does a guy need to stab his own people in the back before they finally clue in? But get this... a friend of my parents is planning on voting for McCain. When asked why she wouldn't consider Hayworth, she said this: "I don't like him. He used to be a local sportscaster."

I am dead serious. That was her reasoning.

ACLU After the war in 1948, 12 members of the Communist Party were arrested for plotting to overthrow the government by use of violence. Flynn attempted to gain their release but in 1951 she was arrested in a “second wave” of arrests and charged with violation of the Alien Registration Act and sentenced to 5 years at Alderson Women’s Penitentiary.

During her sentence she wrote a book entitled The Alderson Story: My Life as a Political Prisoner (1955).

Soon after her release from prison in 1961, Flynn was elected National Chairman of the Communist Party in the USA. She made several trips to the Soviet Union where in 1964 during a visit she died. She was given a State Funeral in Red Square then returned to be buried with her subversive friends Eugene Dennis, Bill Haywood and the Haymarket Martyrs.

These are they types of people that we are dealing with. This is the type of beginning that the ACLU was given. This is why they have been focused on ending American traditions and changing the structure of our government as founded in 1789.

That is the EXACT type of ‘reasoning’ I heard from Obama voters prior to the ‘08 election. [One older Dem said he was voting for Obama because he liked the way O “carried” himself. Not making it up.] Every single one of these logic-challenged people has lived to regret their vote.

Why doesn’t Arizona start taking their detained illegals and releasing them in Northern VA, DC and South Maryland? Make the Problem real. If a senator or House member is fighting immigration enforcement then drop about 1000 illegals off in that person’s home town/district.

Costly to implement but I bet the people of Arizona would pass a tax measure to buy 100 or so buses and provide fuel without missing a beat. Have a statewide referendum to repeal “controversial law” and replace a safe movement clause to destinations to to be determined. It would be very cool.

while we sit back. watch and bitch about it while not doing a damn thing to stop it. Its past time some with a sane brain in Washington stood up and said enough is enough with more than words. Charge these people, arrest them before the new year and we start seeing civil unrest and the rule of the angry mob exerting itself.

Arizona Sheriff: ‘Our Own Government Has Become Our Enemy’

You just know events are becoming critical when law enforcement officials start making statements like this.

Of course the Sheriff is stating the truth...

My advise to him would be to be very careful in the future.

The Sheriff should realize Bush publicly aided and abetted this violent country killing invasion for 8 years, prior to the current puppet in chief.

You know, you just may have something there. Keep the Greyhound buses running from AZ to the DC area. As soon as the invaders step a toe from Mexico into Arizona, give the illegals a card with a liberal congressman’s name, address, and phone number on it and tell them that they are promised a job with free benefits.

I could just see a whole cottage industry arising from this. Enterprising Americans can cheaply print up the cards and arrange the transportation—maybe even in cahoots with the bus lines. They could charge a small fee for this service. It would be hilarious to watch, especially when the likes of and Holder and Gutierrez find them on their doorstep.

Just as true now as in 1861.

And given the fact that this is true, it is no longer a time for words, discourse, lawsuits or debate.
