Sunday Open Thread: Punch Back Edition
by PubliusThe state of Arizona has been under a withering barrage of criticism since it passed its controversial immigration law. President Obama has been especially pointed in his attacks. At the end of last week, the Governor of Arizona punched back. It left a mark.

In November, we'll be saying adios to a great many of your enablers, you laughing fraud.
But we'll be saying it in English.
The Obama administration used Orwellian language when it talked of putting a boot on the throat of BP. Those words were carefully chosen. As Obama once said words matter. I don't think this remark received much coverage. Tony Blankley wrote a column on it along with someone at the Washington Examiner. My video:
"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever"-You Tube
As an American of Mexican descent, I take exceptional offense by "President" Obama's remarks in the tape of this Article.
"Adios Amigos",………..yes I have used this phrase countless number of times in my life,………especially,…
with my fellow Spanish speaking acquaintances,..and like me,……they were all law abiding citizens,……
of their respective country,…………
Obama, with his little flippant,…"Adios Amigos",………condescending remark,……….
has grouped my entire nationality with this new "Illegal Immigrant" scum that is infesting our country.
My father and mother, God rest their souls, did not come to this country (legally) to rape, deal, kidnap and,…..
most certainly go on welfare and most of all,……….. they did not come demanding anything.
Thank you Obama,….for destroying all that my parents stood for,…My only hope is that,………..
when you are gone, by His will, there will be enough America for my children to help rebuild.
I love it ..you come knowing your breaking the law..then when we enforce the law you cry about it..I'm tired of the left cries of .they are just trying to feed their families….Hell who isn't you jerks…….Me thinks our laws should be the same as Mexico's want to see them cry? They would after that..My wife is from mexico and used to work for immigrations there…They would raid cantina's looking for illegals…At that time there were Eastern Europeans that were coming illegally..And guess how they knew to check papers……Yeap you got it RACIAL PROFILE….Your blond and blue eyes show your papers….SO SHUT UP you stupid lefties….You cant have it both ways
I don't consider myself easily impressed. This video is very impressive.
Governor Brewer stays on point throughout, and shows PrezzoBama for the mental midget he truly is.
YOU GO, GOVERNOR!! This was a serious-minded refutation of the feel-good, hopey-changey (thank you, Mark Steyn) absolute BULLSHIT that the White House and its incredibly inept occupant tries to perpetrate on us day in and day out.
Remember in November.
WoA…………that gal has MOXIE!!!!!!!!!! Way to poke a stick in his eye Gov,
Hang tuff Arizonans, we all know ya'll have what it takes to endure this tsunami of hate from the LEFT,
FIGHT on PATRIOTS ! ! !
Right on, WeePee. Truer words were never spoken!
I'm also not an Arizonan, but I, too, stand in solidarity with Governor Brewer, the state of Arizona and the beleaguered citizens.
Check out this….A High School Teacher calling for a Mexucan Revolution in our country…

Wake up you da*n Politicians!!!
This is another great comment from RedWhiteAndJew (but then, we've come to expect no less).
Thanks!
I know i am only 44 and have not seen it all BUT does anyone recall an AMERICAN president so willing to side with lawbreakers and outright enemies of this country? each state has the right to make and enforce its own laws,at least AZ has the stones to do something about the problem, the pathetic worms in D>C> would just as soon learn a different language, adopt a new flag and a new nationality. national sovereignty is only to be respected when it is the sovereignty of another country.
Well said Ralph…the problem now is some people have come to see it as a "RIGHT" to come illegally and demand to be given papers…most do not want to be citizens just have a status…The real problem is Mexico's if I were the president there I would be ashamed that my biggest exports were drugs and my citizens….Most stupid Americans just go to the "Playas" for vacation never into the real Mexico….It is a third world country..It is a shame that a country that is on our border can be in such a crap state..
AND THEY WANT OUR RESPECT!
La Raza declares "revolution" against us!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGqPo5ofk0s
Thank you there Joe,….
what parts of Mexico, besides the playas, are you familiar with,……because you are unfortunately,…
correct.
Hope FOX picks up on it.
There's also a video called "Jan Brewer, Everyone is Laughing at Arizona" that you guys might want to comment on.
I live in Tucson. I used to joke that Tucson had been annexed by Mexico ten years ago and nobody noticed. Raul Grijalva – the US representative-(is there not irony in that word?) – wants businesses to stay away from Arizona. Give him what he wants and watch him squeal. The Mexican Mafia is running this town. The Mayor (Walkup, a white guy) has filed suit on the taxpayer dime against this law. That is against the law.
And Pelosi is arguing that we should leave the borders unprotected because of the cost of catching drug runners as opposed to the cost of treating drug abusers. Of course she completely disregards all of the costs of the periphrial crimes that they commit to feed their habit and the crimes committed while high and the families destroyed by drugs. Then she wants to be touchy feely with illegal immigrants who steal identities for jobs and have anchor babies to get on our welfare rolls.
wake up DHS!!!
LMAO………………..perfect remark, Spliff
This high school "history teacher" needs to be fired. Maybe he's the reason Los Angeles public schools have a graduation rate of 52%?
What else would you expect to come out of the mentally demented scumhag's mouth…she hasn't got the brains God gave a nat….
I feel we also need to re-word the 14th Amendment to the Constitution so that children of illegal aliens do not become automatic citizens if they are born on American soil. This Amendment was written after the Civil War for the children of slaves. We no longer have slaves in America. It needs to say "children born to a U.S. citizen" have automatic citizenship. That would help in stemming the tide of this "silent invasion".
I support Gov. Brewer 100 %. Ilegals are costing us(US) lives and money.
Is it Treason when a President refuses to defend the citizens of his country because of political reasons???
I note that there is another video posted on YouTube that expresses the leftist point of view, its titled: "Jan Brewer, Everybody is Laughing at Arizona" — it currently has 5,117 views.
However, Governor Brewer's video posted above, has 303,685 views. That is approximately 59 to 1. Seems the truth is that everyone is laughing at those infantile lefties that don't possess the mental acuity required to understand the need for Arizona's new law.
I think we just found the next POTUS. A person with the proven character, who will stand up for what is right, even in the face of incredible criticism and arrogance. Another Margaret Thatcher if I ever saw one.
Kudos Governor Brewer- we're behind you 100%!
"It is a third world country", thank you joejoe for speaking out on the plight of poor Mexican
peasants, who have no idea how to go about changing MX.
"most do not want to be citizens, just have status", so that the pantry door is wide open for
for their unfettered access.
A really good way to spot a newly arrived 'wet' is their weight, very seldom see a chubby one.
Just give them about 3 years though, and they pork up real good with our food availability.
Agree with all your points Prof, ……………seems as if stress has brought out his true personality,
the neighborhood bully. To my amazement he doesn't seem to feel any need to hide his disdain,
but rather relishes this role as an agitator. We had heard he was good a it during his early days
in Chicago, but I assumed he had enough respect for the office of President of the United States
of America that he could quell his involuntary impulses.

That is not a bad idea. She seems to have courage. We need someone in office who will do the right thing and call out stupidity whenever and where ever it occurs.
If we can just figure a way to send Obama and the MSM at the same time.
Yeah, pretty amazing isn't it? Couple that with the fact that he actually mocks and ridicules US citizens who disagree with him and I think we are truly in danger of having our country destroyed by our own President. He has an desired end result – it's scary to think about what it might be.
Great Video!
That thought just occurred to me as well. She might well be the one we are looking for. Two questions remain: Is she willing to run, and is she electable?
At the very least it could be categorized as gross malfeasance for not fulfilling his Oath to faithfully discharge the duties of his Office. I'm pretty sure that is an impeachable offense.
Spot on.
Agreed, Arizona would be selfish to keep this patriotic US citizen to themselves.
Gov. Brewer – please become a resource for us at a national level.
An excellent suggestion! I'm gratified that so many of my fellow citizens are becoming educated on our political history. Good news for us and bad news for the ProgLibs.
CORRECTION.hE IS A COLLEGE PROFESSOR
This is for anyone that missed the link from Drudge yesterday. This is from a "rally in support of la raza" where the speaker is calling for revolt against America. Warning, you will be disgusted:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGqPo5ofk0s
Well never have been to a playa….no interest to me..My wife is from Los Mochis ..I've been everywhere ..The worst is the way they treat the Indian tribes there…."Copper Canyon" as an example..The problem is the corrupt government..plain and simple..The Narcos have bought out politicians and police…The saying is do you want lead or silver…..most choose silver..And the funny thing is my wife has more confidence in the American people than I do…As she said…If all the lefties love Castro,Chavez ,, and Che so much then go to live there….You will be back soon…She thinks the American people have had their fill of lefty crap and will change back to a productive society again
She was just saying what we were all thinking.
"At the end of last week, the Governor of Arizona punched back. It left a mark."
Left a mark? I'd like to kick his ass, myself. How sweet it was to hear Barack be b*tch-slapped by the state of Arizona. Pray that the other 49 follow suit.
It's all a coordinated effort to move further towards a one world government. There are no accidents or coincidences in life. Just because we don't know the reason doesn't mean there isn't one.
First they wanted us to trade our Liberty for security. What are they offering us in exchange for our security? Higher taxes?
does anyone recall an AMERICAN president so willing to side with lawbreakers and outright enemies of this country? No, I have never seen or heard of such blatant lack of regard from any elected official such as this.
Thank you all for your support. It is so nice to have real American's understand and treat us with respect. We Arizona's have been begging for help for years,and we havel got nothing. They use this issue on election years and forget us and the truth is we can no aford it with our money or our lives. Last year my son was buing a home in Phoenix, I took us 8 months. He wanted to stay in central area (drug homes,kidnapping,illiegals) after look you had to come home and look up crime ect… when I could not get any information I call the police so he could stay away from the real bad area's. This was so sad to see so much of Phoenix that was taken over by this problem. I have lived in southern Arizona sense I was 9. I came in 1969, picked grapes, cotton and corn in hard times(I'm a white girl) but today we have to be careful just to go in the desert for a day out. Arizona's carrie guns, we have snakes now we carrie because we are being stopped on highways to steal our cars,(at gun point) and no one is helping. Our Governor has heard us finely because as you can see or other Governor had no balls. Thank you again
You may be right, but I got this info right under the Youtube Video,

Thanks for putting this link here. I added it again in a later comment. I'm hoping Big Gov features this video as a contrast to the peaceful Tea Party protests. It's time to start featuring the difference between the American Patriot, and the racist, la raza type leftists.
Hopefuly someone in the party begins floating the idea to her. I have emailed her office several times giving her encouragement and support over the new law, but now I think we need to step things up a notch. A big notch.
No doubt the press will come at her with all the BS they can muster, but they will do that to ANY of our candidates who dares stand up to this Regime. And who stands up for what is right in general. So I say go for it, Gov. Brewer!
I think you're right. And notice that he acknowledges one of the earlier speakers was "one of his students." This is another reason I support firing every single public school teacher in America, and letting them reapply for their positions under an entirely new set of standards.
All these people who don't like America the Beautiful….I would give anything just to ship 'em all the hell out! And they can take their Socialist/Progressive ideology with them.
Your right Peni the problem is both parties are vote whores……Don't want to tick off a segment of the voting block might not get reelected …They care more about staying in power buying votes than doing what they are elected to do…
The government especially now with the ILLEGAL Obama Administration has for a long time now, been playing the race card against the very same people they campaign for votes from, and it's time to bring and end to that childish nonsense!
There was a research report done by some very astute people about 2 yrs ago regarding the drug cartel connection to our very own politicians in DC. I will look for it, but the theme of the paper was that it's a huge money maker for some people in this administration and the drugs are funnelled from South America through Mexico and across our borders and also to Europe.
There is more to this "closing" the border that meets the eye. We only look at the obvious story of illegals.
So sorry to hear what has happened to your beautiful state. And we have so many weak-kneed politicians who sit back and do nothing. Your Governor is a woman of strong character and integrity. She is already "walking the walk," not just talking the talk. Some of us just realized that she might be what we're looking for in the next President, but who knows if she would be willing to run. In any case, we need a real leader to stand up soon, or our country may well be lost.
God help AZ, and God help the USA!
Can't bring myself to watch it this morning- I'm already disgusted just imagining it. We need to drive two groups of people out of the country- insolent Democrat Progressive pimps, and illegal Mexicans. Yes, I'm mad and I'm profiling, dammit.
You probably already know, and most people can sense, that obama will do everything he can to start a race war in this country. Just like he and others created a "health care crisis" in order to pass his socialist health care legislation, and exploited the "financial crisis" to push through his trillion dollar slush fund, he WILL create a "racial crisis" in order to use it to pass his own idea of "immigration reform." This is how he gets things done.
NEVER LET A CRISIS GO TO WASTE.
As most everyone knows, Obama is a foreign born Muslum and a imposter. The MSM, who is mainly controlled by the CIA and other government agencies, did absolutely nothing in the vetting process during the election to inform the public about this man and we were left with only what they wanted people to know. For all the good they provided, well, the Democrats might just as well supported Hitler. Obama is a fraud and his election is proving to be a massive conspiracy by the far-left to take America down the path of socialism. ____I know people get tired of hearing about the birthplace-citizenship issue but there is one person in particular who is set to file a Federal Court action in NYC, on Friday, May 14th on this very issue. It is being brought by the Honorable John Davis Manning, a highly respected Africian-American clergy, who has a large church and following based right in the middle of Harlem. I think he is right on the mark and deserves our support.____http://atlah.org/atlahworldwide/
You can count me in on that too! I'll support AZ's laws over any illegal's made up "rights" any day!
No doubt, the LSM is probably digging in Jan Brewers' dumpster at this very minute,
looking for anything they can use to PALINIZE her. After all when any R stands above
the usual crowd of tired, privileged old men, they must be destroyed.
I currently live in near Myrtle Beach, SC. MS13 has chapters even out here. They were in NJ, to, where I grew up.
This isn't just Arizona, or just the Southwest.
While she is my governor and thankfully signed the bill, remember the bill was written and passed by the Arizona legislature. That shows that local and state elections matter just as much as the national ones.
Indeed they do, opus–thanks for the reminder.
We're operating on the same wave length. You just know they're going to throw all the mud they can muck up to see if they can get any of it to stick…no matter who we put up. Well, forewarned is forearmed. I certainly like what she's shown me thus far! Kudos for your vocal support!
Jan Brewer-Jack Bauer kind of sound the same. I like her she can read US law. Jan Brewer for President 2012? Now Texas law makers need to follow Arizona's lead.
My wife and I wanted to take our RV down to the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Couldn't do it because it is unsafe to stay overnight there. I don't think it was because of the rattlesnakes.
You are NOT alone!!! Millions of us are feeling the very same!!
Prof, I'm half Mexican (but 100% American) and I can assure you there are legions of Americans of Mexican decent who believe in sealed borders and deportation of ILLEGAL aliens of any ethnicity.
Racists like 'La Raza' and MeCha and the rest speak for a vocal minority and Democrap and Union activists.
Give California back to Mexico since it is a lost cause. Then all border states (now would include Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas) adopt the same law as passed in Arizona…problem solved for the rest of the nation.
Which is exactly what I think the GOP should be doing.
The GOP should have a "hit team" of lawyers and investigators and anytime a new Dem hopeful sticks "it's" head up – go to work on them.
Destroy them if at all possible, see what can be used against them. Go through their trash, do what ever it takes.
Pimping ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION is not a good issue for liberals, it really isn't. It might fire up some of the core rabble but it really gets 'everyday' Americans going and most are anti-ILLEGAL immigration.
Peni, keep your head up as most of sane thinking Americans are on your side. November will be Obama's castration and 2012 America's emancipation.
Godspeed for all Arizonians
Ditto to all the replies to Herman, at last a politician who has the guts to take a hard line in a sea of political cowards. Arizona rules.
If this mans words had been spoken by Palin with just a few changes, the MSM would have been relentless in attacks on her. Accept the fact that MSM is bought and paid for by those who hate the United States.
You got that right!!…Palin or any right-winger would have been dragged
through the mud…….
I agree,and every other state as well.How about sate legislation for PROOF of birth in order to get on the ballot?
Wait, easy…hold up here guys. I love this law and that Brewer was strong enough to stand up and sign it!! FINALLY, someone doing something to address what is probably the #1 issue in AZ, and something that negatively affects every sector of our lives and economy here….BUT, she also has pushed tax increases, the latest being prop 100 that we vote on on May 18th, which proposes to raise our sales tax ANOTHER 1% (putting it close to 10%)… " for the children", of course. Have to look at the whole picture, not just a snapshot on one issue.
remember that silly "Brown Beret" movement of the late 60s and early 70s.
We seriously need an adult in the White House. The POTUS is an embarrassment!
Listen to this new freedom song sweeping across the country. It's awesome! http://culturewarriors.bandcamp.com/track/amendme...
Check out a very cool conservative podcast at: http://www.cashbeechcroft.podomatic.com
It's your suvival guide to the Obama regime.
Don't watch the MSM and boycott their sponsors. They will dry up and go away.
if white people gathered and spoke ill of the racist mexicans,they would be arrest for violating their illegal alien rights.
2012 adios mulatto(spanish) for male mule. or anglo for half ass black.
Imagine the presidential limo being pulled over in Phoenix for broken tail light. "Proof of citizenship please, Sir". I wonder what Obama would look like in pink?
Once again, as HumanPersonJr said, you are correct with another great comment…
However, 'adios' is not nearly ENOUGH! Comrade Barry is OVERTLY enabling infiltration at All the US borders… but what he's doing COVERTLY WITH OUR MAJOR ENEMY – ISLAMIC TERRORISTS – is much more insidious… I just posted this a few minutes ago – Bill Whittle's COURAGEOUS, MIND-BOGGLING piece:http://www.pjtv.com/?cmd=mpg&mpid=56
The new Department of Ubiquitous Hope (DUH) offers encouragement to all Americans who are dumb enough to listen – an SPN Headlines Exclusive at:
http://spnheadlines.blogspot.com/2010/05/obama-an...
Keep smiling!
Count me in too…. All States must not only support Arizona its righteous fight fir SURVIVAL but also must band together to save the Nation from the CRIMINALS without AND WITHIN!!! The poor illegal immigrants are cynically just being used as pawns in a MUCH BIGGER GAME….
Well done!!! Comrade Barry is one of the most dangerous people on the planet…
And if Barack the Debauched starts giving the good Jan Brewer a hard time, keep the WH telephone number and email close-by for any 'follow-up' that may be necessary.
With these degenerates in the WH now, the prevailing atmosphere seems to suggest that no good deed will go unpunished.
Did you notice they panned the crowd and found Alec Baldwin in attendance, or is it just coincidental?
Perhaps the Arizona law is just a conspiracy to keep Emporer Hopus Changus from cavorting there.
Americans like you are what makes this great big melting pot so great. Comrade Barry sullies everything he touches. He has no respect for anything or anyone… he only feigns it when it is required.
'Adios' (how cynical for the ungodly to use it)… 'Amigos' (we don't know who his friends are – certainly not us – normal patriotic Americans)….
Like everything else nihilistic Comrade Barry, The Master of Mendacity, says…. nothing really means anything.
You can't shame shameless hypocrites!
Yea! And if there isn't a crisis going on at the moment…..we'll make a crisis up!
And I wouldn't laugh too loudly, Obama, considering that you, yourself, have yet to prove that you're here legally.
Got ID?
Once again, You Are Correct, Sir! Gov Brewer deserves accolades for her bravery and tenacity. All State must stand together in her support while there is still something left to save.
If Comrade Barry, et. al., were just only inept, we would be in a far less dangerous position. Aside from his enmeshment in 'Crime Inc' check out something I posted earlier:http://www.pjtv.com/?cmd=mpg&mpid=56
Let know your take on this MIND-BLOWING piece by Bill Whittle of PJTV.com….
Unfortunately to bust confering with The Muslim Brotherhood…http://www.pjtv.com/?cmd=mpg&mpid=56
Unfortunately to bust confering with The Muslim Brotherhood…http://www.pjtv.com/?cmd=mpg&mpid=56
I am starting to really like Gov. Brewer and her fortitude in standing up for her state and to the Feds. Notice that those criticizing offer NO solution to these very real problems.
I live in NC, but stand with the people of AZ. I will patronize companies located in AZ whenever possible.
Obama =never let the law get in the way of my agenda
Alec is a typical deluded, moronic, hollywood Liberal, high school educated actors who dont know squat,
