I've been here in Surprise, AZ less than a week and my enjoyment of the ConservaRepubs has been immense. Buicks, Guns and Whacky politics abound.
Arizona law would criminalize being lewd or annoying on the Internet | The Raw Story
No BS! I looked this up after seeing it on the local FOX news. Governor Jan Brewer (R) is on record saying she supports it 100% but apparently her advisors are telling her that whole Constitution thing could be a problem. I don't know if that will stop her though. She is the only actual Government Death Panel to ever exist: She broke the state law and discontinued health benefits to people who would die without them, as well as the mentally challenged, veterans and of course, the poor. Fortunately for those who were about to die, MSNBC set up some kind of fund, broadcasted all about it and apparently were able to save those people from Governor Brewer's arbitrary death sentence.
There is a LOT going on here that really deserves national attention but doesn't get it. The city council has tried to get rid of this whackjob Arpaio a few times. He is currently suing two of them for defamation (they claim he says things which well, he has been caught saying on video), which is costing the locals millions. Arpaio is now spending tons of taxpayer money on the Birther thing.
Arizona doesn't have a crowded metropolitan city like New York, Chicago etc... (the closest they have is Phoenix, which has a lot of people but is spread out over a HUGE land area) but is among the top in gun crimes per capita (and guess what? Illegal aliens account for less than 5% of it). They have the worst schools in the country, other than The South and over 400 rapes and child molestations annually aren't even investigated every year.
But THIS is the kind of stuff is what IS important to Arizonans: Don't annoy people on the internet. The complete lack of common sense in favor of social issues that appeal to mindless drones is obvious. No wonder Sarah Palin moved here. I am absolutely certain that the old, white Tea Partiers here would vote her into any office she wants.
This is quite an interesting place to visit! The people really do have hearts of gold - as long as you're "one of them" (they have been fantastic to my mom). But their politics and priorities are about four steps beyond whack.
