Spice invaders (New spice blend to protest Arizona!)

We Arizonans have been scolded by politicians, media figures, actors, musicians and more, all for a misunderstanding of our wildly popular immigration bill. Just as the debate was finally fading away, an upscale spice retailer has decided to rub salt in the wound.

The Arizona Republic, the newspaper-cum-opinion journal that breathlessly created the false narrative of SB1070, proudly advertises this subversive spice blend:

Arizona immigration law: Spice maker uses new blend to counter bill

Penzeys Spices has introduced a new blend called Arizona Dreaming, with the message that Mexican culture is a beloved part of the state's - and the country's - food heritage.

The idea started several months ago, while [CEO Bill] Penzey was cooking for his pregnant wife, who was finding some dishes repellent. He also was following the stories on Arizona's new immigration law, Senate Bill 1070. So he started experimenting with Southwestern flavors...

Penzey wrote a letter to go with the launch, saying: "In our need to restore our sense of self-control, are we actually going to reward our politicians who are not working to bring us together, but instead forsaking America's beautiful 234-year-old history of diversity? . . . The Arizona I know has plenty of happy feelings to spread."...

More of this stuff. My list of things I can’t/won’t eat has grown by leaps and bounds in the last few years thanks to obsessive and increasing amounts of pepper we now enjoy on almost everything in the interest of diversity.

This news is so disappointing. I recently received a requested catalog from Penzey’s. They do have some wonderful spice blends and I couldn’t wait to try.

I’ll have to reconsider now that I know that they condone lawbreakers and the like.

Sad.

Yeah, insulting 70% + of your potential market is real good business.

Anyone who visits this site link and gets a glimpse of what is happening just South of our border in Mexico will understand why bill SB 1070 is beyond necessary.Its vital.

Dunecat, I’m Paul. Pleased to meet you.

Yet Obama’s administration does nothing.

This is insane.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

The fellow no doubt voted for Bush twice.

Probably supports McCain, too.

(Although, to be fair, I voted for McQueeg-PALIN, only because McQueeg was running against a Marxist.)

I need to order some nice politically incorrect chili spices from an Arizona company that supports Senate Bill 1070. Anyone have some suggestions? FReepmail me.
