I so love PolitiFact: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...gals-are-drug/

Quote:

While the source she eventually cited -- the Los Angeles Times -- says that "sometimes (smugglers) loaded up their human cargo with backpacks full of marijuana," the article doesn't back up her assertion that that "the majority" of illegal immigrants carry drugs into the country. More to the point, Brewer's contention is undercut by both federal prosecution statistics and the accounts of experts we spoke to. So we rate Brewer's statement False.

Don't you realize that reality and facts have a liberal bias?

And here I thought researching political statements for facts was a Canadian thing. :canadian:

View with Caution

This video was posted by one of our fans and it is insanely insulting and will leave you with a sense of impotence and rage, making your blood boil!! It is a witness account on the murder of an undocumented immigrant by police officials!! The immigrant's cry for help will now be our cry for justice!! Please refrain to ...the tendency to violence and an eye for an eye mentality!! We will win this fight with non-violence and unity!! Have no doubt that this immigrant's pleads and desperation will meet justice and we will not rest until these atrocities are halted once and for all!! "No Mas" - "No More"

Let us contact President Obama at http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact and convey our indignation to the atmosphere of hate, ignorance, and racism we are experiencing in the state of Arizona and the country!! As he prepares his speech on immigration for Thursday, the country is spiraling out of control with anti-immigration sentiments!! Let him know what you expect and demand to hear in his high-stake speech!! "No Mas" - "No More"

My God there is no justice, these men need to be held over for trial.

Don't tell the Conservatives that.. they might leav.. err.. Actually, on second thought, let them know. It'd improve the country immensely.

This, exactly. Refusing to condemn actions which are clearly wrong in every way denotes nothing so much as a complete *lack* of any kind of ethics. I feel that I have a very strong sense of ethics, and those ethics mean that I absolutely will stand up and say "No, there is definitely a difference between right and wrong. Slavery was wrong. Jim Crow laws were wrong. Apartheid is wrong. There is nothing redeeming or debatable about any of these things. They're just wrong. Always, in any era, at any time, always wrong." Kobi, you say "who am I to judge?" I don't. I, as a person with ethics, am an excellent judge of right and wrong. I, a person with ethics, am absolutely *obligated* to judge right from wrong. I find it incredibly disturbing that anyone could claim otherwise. I'm horrified that anyone could actually say that they can't judge the actions of the past. If you can't judge the past, then why should any of us trust you to make good decisions in the future? If you can't say whether or not slavery was wrong, why should any of us think that you'd stand against it happening again?

SHIT! Hell yes, one can determine if something in the past is right or wrong. And one would have to rather moronic to not be able to see what those wrongs have produced that we deal with today. Unless one just wants to keep themselves under a rock. Which is the choice of many, unfortunately.

You are right on here, Aj. I often look around at some of the wing-nut garbage today and wonder.... Would these people stand up against forms of the past transgressions today? My gut fear is they would not. and cry that they didn't know it was happening just as so many did while Jews (and others) were being gased in concentration camps (just one example).

In fact, examples of this kind of thinking (and in-action) are with us today! How many turn the other way with environmental hazards, domestic abuse and violence right next door, hate crimes against people, crimes against women, child labor infractions, blatant racism and the long term effects of structural racism... on and on..... fill in more blanks....

You bet the sins of the past are on me if I don't recognize exactly what they are and how they continue in various forms!
