Unfortunately, this list could go on and on. Our country is run by idiots. We are in distress. Where do we go from here? OK, this is getting simply bizarre.

On Monday, June 25th 2012, the following occurred: The Supreme Court unanimously - yes, UNANIMOUSLY - upheld the portion of Arizona's Immigration Law that directs law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of EVERYONE who is ARRESTED for a crime. It not just "ALLOWS" them to check, but "DIRECTS" them to check. That means it's mandatory.

Less than three hours later, the President of the United States issued an executive order BLOCKING THE ENTIRE STATE OF ARIZONA'S ACCESS to the the Federal Database that would allow such checks. The only State or Local entity EVER to be blocked.

One hour after that (which means they had it all ready in advance), the Department of Justice went live with a toll-free number, a web site, and ads, ASKING FOR PEOPLE TO REPORT BEING "RACIALLY PROFILED" because of this ruling, so they - THE U.S. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT - can file "Civil Rights" lawsuits against the Police Departments, Sheriffs, Cities, Counties and State of Arizona.

In other words, the American Citizens of the State of Arizona are going to be sued for vast sums of money, BY THEIR OWN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, for enforcing a law that The Supreme Court UNANIMOUSLY held as constitutional.

Is it just me, or is it starting to smell just a wee bit like treason in high places?

So…
That’s nothing on the paragraph at the bottom about our President ignoring a law because he does not like it even when the Supreme Court upheld the law? He did call the ruling a victory after all….

Or you can say that you live in a country run by idiots if the leaders think taxing and imposing greater regulation and higher taxes on those who provide the jobs, venture capital, and investments while funneling more and more benefits to reward the 'poor' is the way to shore up a faltering economy.

You know you live in a country run by idiots if. . . .the other party thinks shutting down or shutting up AM talk radio and/or Fox News and placing all information sharing in the hands of the Left is a worthy goal.

See what I did there?

I see no indication of any such efforts, although Reagan's destruction of the Fairness in Media Doctrine ushered in an era of corporate corruption and big-money influence in what used to be a democratic process. Reagan sucked, sucked, sucked.

Well, I've done enough reading and participated on these kinds of boards and listened in to Congressional commentary and read the op eds enough to know that the Left hates, hates, hates conservative talk radio and Fox News and has schemed and plotted and hoped to find a way to silence them or at least take away some of their ability to report in the way that they do.

The "Fairness in Media Doctrine" is entirely subjective and too subject to biased interpretation by those administrating it to create "fairness' in any way. The system is 100% fair in that anybody can report anything they wish. So, all the alphabet network and cable groups tilt left of center and promote a mostly leftish doctrine and point of view. On the right you have conservative talk radio and Fox News. Only a smattering of print publications promote or fairly report a conservative point of view, but there is enough mix anybody who wants multiple perspectives on an issue can easily find them.

Local media outlets have nothing but time to sell, and it is not 'fair' to them to force them to program a certain amount of time to something that doesn't generate enough listeners to merit advertising dollars.
