Arizona Sheriff: 'Our Own Government Has Become Our Enemy'
CNS News ^ | 08/02/2010 | Penny Starr

Pinal County (Ariz.) Sheriff Paul Babeu 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.”

I knew you were kidding and found it funny. Some people just don’t have a sense of humor anymore.

We could really use Black Jack Pershing now to do a little “cleanup”.

Yeah.

Like DC.

'Our Own Government Has Become Our Enemy'

We've never had more of an anti-American, more oppressive government then we have today. They not only control our wages, our spending, our businesses, our water, our food, our children, our properties, and our speech - they even control our very flesh and blood.
Everything Oboma has done, and every move towards socialism before it, must be undone if liberty is to be saved.
Slowly but surely people are starting to figure this out. An awakening is happening, and the world is about to change. There will be bumps, but in the end the meek will inherit the earth. Every man will tend to his own vine, and no one will be able to take it away from him ever again.

US Gomit must be complicit in drug trafficking - it’s the only thing that makes sense to me... gotta wonder why else would “they” would allow this to continue.....and what their take is....

You almost have it. It's "US Go-mint."

It's really very simple: The Fed prints the money and the money leaves the country as drug payments. The bankers get to go on diluting assets while protected from inflation because those dollars don't come home; instead becoming a de facto world currency. The supplier nations melt down, making their resources available for a song. The populace continues into dependency, which makes them available to extort for votes at others' expense. The votes buy treatment preferential to the bankers' investments.

What's not to like?

As a woman I really resent that you use that term to describe the president. .-)

I thought he was making an analogy in referring to the feline animal that can be very reticent in behavior. What do you think he meant?

Agree

“..’Our Own Government Has Become Our Enemy”

I don’t believe THIS government is ours. I believe OUR government has been hijacked just like the Democrat party was hijacked a number of years ago by the same Leftist radicals, and thugs in a quest for power and wealth.

I believe what is happening to be one helluva major sting operation by criminals under the guise of Leftist political ideology using liberal, and radical idiots so easily manipulated for their purpose.

This is one of the most heartbreaking and true headlines posted in years.

Up until now, I have simply read stories about what is happening there, and I admit it, I haven't been TOO much into it. I hadn't been able to get a feel for how LEO felt about the issue. This article makes it perfectly clear. You are right, this is just flippin TRAGIC. An American Law Enforcement Officer who has not just been abandonded, but is being VICTIMIZED by the federal government.

You know, I am one of those who generally rolls his eyes and laughs (sorry) at the "separatists" in the conservative movement. Perhaps if I had not been so busy rolling them, my eyes would have seen more clearly. I am not laughing now.

This is so sad.

Our government no longer represents us or our interests.

And 80%+ of them will get re-elected.

So what are you going to do?

I endorse all you’ve stated here, including trials and executions, and heads on pikes.

It is my reasoned conviction that we will look back in a few years (how many, ???) and identify the attack on Arizona by the Federal Government as the opening “shot” of the Second American Revolution.

This will not stand.
