County Does Not Need To Support Arizona

Hot Topics, Obama, Politics-Local, Politics-National

Eric Holder, our country's Attorney General blurted out that he was against the Arizona illegal immigrant law but admitted that he had not read the bill. A Milwaukee County Supervisor, speaking in favor of Milwaukee boycotting Arizona, stands and babbles that she cannot understand the need for the Arizona bill because Arizona is far removed from the Mexican boarder. Uh, you DO know that it does, I hope.

These are but two examples of liberal madness. To a Constitution supporter as I am, it brings emotions of pity for them being so stupid, amusement at how anyone that did a smattering of homework before electing them or people that appointed them to a position of power and anger that these are but two  examples of many who are tearing down our country using reasoning based on idealism rather than educated logic.

Waukesha County Supervisor Peter Wolff has introduced a resolution going beyond supportive spirit to the Arizona law but actually encouraging doing business with Arizona businesses, when possible. I'm not sure what that means. If it means giving business to a supplier in Arizona rather than a self destructive state like California, I might be for it as long as cost to the taxpayers of Waukesha are equal. Unfortunately such policy may hurt a business that may not share the destructive views of liberalism as the state that it is based in does.

If the Board wishes to issue a feel-good resolution supporting the spirit of Arizona's law, fine. Though, I don't see any need for it and may indeed do some relationship damage locally to residents with Mexican heritage. Going beyond that to specifically patronize Arizona is too much though.
