enigmaforever, thank you for posting that short, informative tutorial on Al Sharton. It's good to remind us every now and then how ole Al found his 'voice' and attained notoriety.

kalshnicovdude-"If it was that bad and wrong,dont you think one or more of the countless local or federal investigations would have actually put him out of the border buisness by now?" Yeah, if what he was doing wasn't working, but it is working. I am just not sure I wanna start losing my rights little by little. Eventually were all gonna start gettin pulled over and treated like criminals...whether your brown ,black, or white. I hope it never gets that far.

I think what you hear about Joe on the news is a little twisted Cjsdsu.MCSO is probably pretty much like any other Sheriffs office across the country except having Joe at the helm,who has had the attention of the media for so many other reasons than his enforcement of immagration law.I just dont see whats wrong with whats actually being done.If it was that bad and wrong,dont you think one or more of the countless local or federal investigations would have actually put him out of the border buisness by now?They got nothing on him,so when they have no real arguement they just scream racist and hope they build enough support to further their agenda.Judges that rule in favor of the liberal backed and funded lawsuits against Joe and MCSO(read giving away our tax money)are only pandering to the current socialist trend in American government.Much like Nappy did for years in AZ.look at the success its gotten her.Now this crap is never gonna stop.

kalshnicovdude -"its our border policy. Not rednecks in AZ." So what's the difference between Texas,California and New Mexico? Why aren't their Sheriffs and citizens acting like most of the people in Arizona act. I hope it's just about illegals, whether they came to work or commit crime. If they came illegal then they need to go back. But I can't look at every Mexican or latino and assume they are illegal criminal, that in itself is discrimination. And that would make me a complete idiot.

Cjsdsu,I believe with most its still just about illegals.There will always be a faction of mindless hatred that thrives on societel tension.In between are the people who sometimes parrot what the true haters say simply because they have run in to a logical brick wall when it comes to people like Nappy,Phil,Gascone,Wilcox and Obama who want to forget common sense and law when it comes to their political agenda.These poor people are being played by the government they did not in most cases vote for,and they have been giving logical reasons why things need to be done about the border for years,and being stonewalled by a complete lack of common sense,and the vile retort of being called racists.In short theyre blowing off some well earned steam.Our borders have been an issue as long as I can remember,but of late, the violence and sheer numbers and cost have become intolerable,and if you want to know what the rest of the world is laughing at us about,its our border policy.Not rednecks in AZ.

And this "man" wants to tell Joe about morality Poughkeepsie Journal/ ..".Perhaps the most notable falsely reported rape in the country was made by Wappingers Falls teenager Tawana Brawley in a nationally publicized case in 1987. She accused former Assistant District Attorney Steven Pagones of kidnapping and raping her. The Rev. Al Sharpton had a big hand in the prosecution. Pagones, in his defamation lawsuit against Sharpton and two other New York City activists, Alton Maddox and C. Vernon Mason, was awarded $300,000 in damages... Sharpton's comment had been"If we're lying, sue us, so we can . . . prove you did it." Capitalism Magazine/"1991: A Hasidic Jewish driver in Brooklyn's Crown Heights section accidentally kills Gavin Cato, a 7-year-old black child, and antisemitic riots erupt. Sharpton races to pour gasoline on the fire. At Gavin's funeral he rails against the "diamond merchants" -- code for Jews -- with "the blood of innocent babies" on their hands. He mobilizes hundreds of demonstrators to march through the Jewish neighborhood, chanting, "No justice, no peace." A rabbinical student, Yankel Rosenbaum, is surrounded by a mob shouting "Kill the Jews!" and stabbed to death."1995 black landlord in Harlem raise rent on a Jewish business owner who in turn has to raise rent on subtenant, a black bus. owner. Sharpton uses it to incite racial hatred. "We will not stand by," he warns malignantly, "and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business." Sharpton's National Action Network sets up picket lines; customers going into Freddy's are spat on and cursed as "traitors" and "Uncle Toms." Some protesters shout, "Burn down the Jew store!" and simulate striking a match. Protesters bursts into Freddy's, shoots four employees point-blank, then sets the store on fire. Seven employees die in the inferno.

ladyhawk415- You stated that they should take aim at the drug trading and I'll throw in the gun sellers also. But yeah, you are correct. Because along with illegals your gonna find legal citizens (White, Black, Asian,Mexican) all over this country going to jail for purchasing what illegals are selling (dope). School teachers, college students, and teenagers from everywhere are buying drugs from illegal immigrants. Gun dealers are selling them guns, because money is more important then skin color/ citizenship. So yeah we can blame illegal immigrants for our problems, but we need to look at the people giving them what they want/and fueling their hunger for american dollars. In other words stop doing drugs and develop harsher penalties for those who sell guns to convicted felons, whether they're legal or illegal.

kalshnicovdude- Just listen to some of the people on this forum regarding this very topic. It use to be,"We need to put an end to illigal immigration and the dope running, gun running, people smuggling they are bringing here." And I was right there with everyone saying the same thing. But now it's "F*** all Mexicans, they all need to go back to Mexico. I hate any and every Mexican that I see. We need to go back to the way it was, white is the supreme race." And that's where things started to get really weird, and frustrating. This is a diverse country, and was created and molded by people of all colors, races and ethnicity. And to this day, it continues to be protected by those same diverse people. Joe has a group of followers that support him, and those followers would love to see every Black, Jew and Mexican wiped off the face of the earth. Now correct me if I am wrong, but no where in the bible does it say peace be with you only if you are white. Laws and policies can be carried out with out hate,anger, discrimination and unprofessional attitudes.
