WELCOME TO THE THINK TANK!
This is a no holds bar discussion blog on where you think this country should be going and how it should get there. I will discuss past, present and future politics and how it affected and will effect our way of life. I invite conservatives, moderates and progressives to post your thoughts. This is the future of our country and we need to get it back on track. My goal is to change one mind at a time and turn this back into the nation of our forefathers!

Second Guessing the Second Guesser
For a man who so diligently second guesses important issues like the character of our policemen, claiming they acted “stupidly” in the drama that led to the famous beer summit, I find it humorous that Arizona is being sued on the pretenses of “second guessing the federal government.” What if a child was attacked by a bully and because he defended himself, he was suspended for second guessing the responsibilities of the hall monitor? That’s what is happening here. Heck nowhere that I’ve read in the lawsuit have I seen mention of possibly racial profiling as a reason. Wasn’t that what this whole stink was about? Attorney Eric Holder had this to say about the law suit "Arizonans are understandably frustrated with illegal immigration, and the federal government has a responsibility to comprehensively address those concerns. But diverting federal resources away from dangerous aliens such as terrorism suspects and aliens with criminal records will impact the entire country's safety." Am I living in an alternate universe, or are they? That’s the whole point of Arizona law in the first place! Many illegal immigrants DO have criminal records and what’s to stop a terrorist from skipping over our puny walls anyway? And I guess Arizona is no longer part of the “entire country?” Give me a freaking break. There is no second guessing the Feds here, Arizona is simply filling a void the Feds have clearly failed to occupy. Not only is Arizona under attack from dangerous drug cartels, but now they have the federal government ready to pounce as well. I guess the recent voter intimidation case wasn’t serious enough for the DOJ to pursue since that case deals with a constitutional right (another blog for another time). In one hand Obama talks of “comprehensive immigration reform” and in the other he further divides America with this lawsuit. It’s becoming clearer that perhaps Obama’s “comprehensive plan” will be granting legal status for all illegal immigrants. If that’s what he wants how will he address the drug cartels? That’s the main issue here. Our borders are becoming a war zone and this lawsuit shows that any state wanting to protect its citizens are “second guessing” this second guesser administration. Maybe they should send NASA in to lead sensitivity training.
