A disturbing spectacle was on display last week as Mexican President Felipe Calderon and President Barack Obama\u2014standing almost hand-in-hand on the White House lawn\u2014trashed the state of Arizona over its new immigration law. Calderon then took it a step further by going onto the floor of Congress and trashing Arizona and Arizonians some more.<\/p>\n
During the White House meeting, Obama told Calderon, \u201cIn the 21st Century we are defined not by our borders, but by our bonds.\u201d He also agreed with Calderon\u2019s description that Arizona\u2019s law is discriminatory.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve come to expect such treachery from the White House, which prides itself in traveling around the world bowing and scraping and accusing the United States of a multitude of sins\u2014both real and imagined\u2014and apologizing for every national and foreign policy decision the country has ever made.<\/p>\n
(See Deputy Secretary of State Michael Posner\u2019s admission that during a recent trip to China he brought up the Arizona law \u201cearly and often\u201d as an issue of \u201cdiscrimination or potential discrimination.\u201d Again, he did this in China, a country that runs over its citizens with tanks, throws them in prison for practicing \u201cunapproved\u201d Christianity, and forces families to abort children to enforce a one-child policy.)<\/p>\n
But then Calderon went into the halls of Congress\u2014as an invited guest\u2014and trashed Arizona some more saying the bill \u201cintroduces a terrible idea that uses racial profiling as a basis for law enforcement.\u201d And for that Democrats in Congress gave him a standing ovation.<\/p>\n
Never mind that the law does no such thing. In fact, it forbids discrimination and follows Federal immigration laws almost to the letter.<\/p>\n
The Democrat Party continues to find new lows to fall to in its treatment of Americans\u2014ramming through healthcare legislation over the objections of the majority, siding with enemies of Democracy and joining with the president of a failed nation to vilify a state that was forced to enforce laws the Federal government refused to enforce.<\/p>\n
George Washington once wrote:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are either a United people, or we are not. If the former, let us, in all matters of general concern act as a nation, which have national objects to promote, and a national character to support. If we are not, let us no longer act a farce by pretending to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
More and more it seems Obama and the Democrats have decided upon the latter. And more and more the spinelessness of Republicans is on display as they fail in their duty to forcefully call out Obama and the Democrats.<\/p>\n
Obviously the elites of the two parties have become peas in the same pod and they have chosen a path in opposition to the very people they supposedly serve. That they would side with the Mexican president over the citizens of Arizona\u2014and about 70 percent of Americans\u2014is despicable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
