Arizona-bashing ignoramus of the day
Here’s State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley admitting to Fox News anchor Greg Jarrett, after 6-7 minutes of venting about Arizona’s immigration law, that he hasn’t read the bill, either.
Which makes him the 999th member of the Obama administration to admit complete ignorance of the object of his outrage. Or maybe he’s the 1,000th. I’ve lost count:

Step 1: Eliminate Welfare. Period.
Step 2: Sit back and watch as Americans line up for dishwashing jobs, while demanding that illegals be rounded up and deported.
The “American Work Ethic” has been ruined by the socialistic welfare agenda.
The governor of Arizona should see that not a drop of water goes to California, and not a watt of electricity.
with ya on that one hangfire…I suggested that on another forum and got a “clueless” on it…probably some libtard…lol
Let them drink out of their hot tubs.
O.K. I’m outnumbered!! I agree there are lots of Americans who would do those jobs. I guess I was just thinking about the spoiled kids these days who are used to mommy and daddy taking care of them. I was not calling ALL Americans lazy…I tend to forget, there are still people out there who have integrity and grit and will do those jobs if they have to. However, I don’t think there are enough of them to keep 650-700 restaurants going, with all the turnover, etc. That is what I was getting at. You have a point and I agree, but I do have a point too…right?
I must have seen it. I don’t have many independent thoughts.
It was evident from the 2008 campaign that Team Hope-a-Dope really believed — and still believes — that details are for suckers.
They actually swallowed their own propaganda that everything would be sunshine, lollipops, rainbows and unicorns if they just presented themselves as the “un-Bush.” The planet would heal, the oceans would cool, everyone would love us, the economy would soar… just don’t bother them with the “small stuff.”
There was a trial attorney I was briefly acquainted with who thought that boring stuff like trial prep was like, so totally beneath him. He was so proud of “winging it” at trial that he even adopted his own nickname: “The King of Wing.”
I wasn’t around to see it happen, but I hear he eventually got his clock cleaned by some geek lawyer who actually came prepared for trial one day, coupled with an unsympathetic judge.
But it’s clear that another “King of Wing” and his coterie are alive and well, and nested comfortably at the White House and in Congress.
Jamie: Don’t say embedded. It makes me think of ticks. The horror the horror…. Between you, Cheddar, and Hangfire, I’m sure to be dreaming of ticks tonight. or Al Gore…
I agree. The clarification helped. I guess I am running on a hair trigger when I hear anything similiar to one of the lib “talking points” (that are nothing more than lies).
Because of the “entitlement nanny state” mentality being force fed by hollywood and our educational system, many of the youth have not developed a good work ethic or see the value in making oneself more valuable.
I loved that line that China complained about U.S. Human rights and immigration law. That’s like Al Capone complaining about petty crimes in NYC.
Ahhh…such sweet dreams! /s gag, cough.
ticks…Al Gore…there is a difference? Are they both not blood-suckers living off of others?
A while ago (today) someone told me I’d make a lousy liberal! Now I hear that what I said sounded like a liberal. Ha!! I should change my moniker from happyscrapper to chameleon! Which happyscrapper will show up next??? He-he. Sorry, I am in a weird mood today. I’d better quit and get my herbs planted!
+PI
I went back and re-read my post. If I had just left that last sentence off, I would have made my point without sounding like a liberal! I should have said, “These truly are jobs that many Americans won’t do!” Now I feel better.
So do I (and others I would guess).
Goricle’s new pool could probably keep LA supplied for a week or two.
As an Arizonan, I have to laugh at this whole display of ignorance and how the main stream media has become a parody of itself.
Simple facts:
1. Feds pass immigration laws never intending to fully enforce
2. States (especially those on the border) are losing money hand over fist in dealing with illegal immigration
3. A strong-willed group in Arizona decides to call the Feds on their bluff and volunteer to enforce the Fed laws that are codified
4. With threatened loss of votes and cheap labor, the race-baiters are sent into action.
5. Liberal population (urban public school grads, probably), ignorant of the law, still voice their opinions as if only theirs matter in this country
6. Media presents the story with one side favored…leaving the non-rational thinkers to draw a conclusion based on a ten-second sound bite or a long-winded sad story based on one family(the famous NPR-style of reporting). No need to introduce any facts into these stories.
7. One story feeds the next and little actual shoe leather is used to round up the real story. In other words, many of the MSM “research” by reading other article by their peers.
These people mouth off about the ignorance of Arizona and its citizens while theirs is on full display.
happyscrapper, not to beat a dead horse, but a lot of people will work a second job at a restaurant. The hours are often “second shift” type hours so it often fits with a day job. I know a couple of people who have done this. I had a restaurant job back in the day while in school. Which job? …dish washer…
Yeah, it mostly sucked. But I did the best I could and made some money. I was glad to be working.
I never thought of that. They could cut off their water. mmmmmmwahhahahaha… Let them drink Perrier and flush with Zeypherhills. Remind the libs that elections have consequences.
Excellent push-back by an Arizona pol with some spine…
Enjoy that black-out, Antonio!
Actually, Brewer has been double-tough since the law was passed, too.
Totally off-topic, but a good palate-cleanser…

Q: How many Californians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: None. Californians screw in hot tubs.
Now, now Hangfire, lets not upset Phil again.
Or…
Q: How many Californians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: 21. One to turn the bulb, and twenty to join hands and share the experience, relating to the metaphysical oneness of it…..
I agree that a lot of people may do that for a while. And it is better than being on welfare! However, the pay sucks, and you can’t keep it up for long! In the meantime, turnover in the restaurants is horrible!! It is a restaurant manager’s worst nightmare. If you have 650+ restaraunts to keep staffed, chances are, you will hire illegals, or get more lax with your requirements. I know it is WRONG and if we got rid of all the illegals, the restaurants would probably have a high bankruptcy rate. Eventually things would work out, however, and I am certainly not suggesting we allow them to employ illegals. Just that it is hard to run a restaurant without them. Now, what do you think of giving them “guest worker” visas and some method of checking to see that they are working and not going on the dole. There would have to be rules, and I don’t know if they would be enforceable…that is the problem. Anyway, I think we agree on the main point. There are a lot of Americans who will do those jobs. But perhaps not enough to keep all the restaurants staffed.
OR…
Q: How many politicians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: None. Politicians screw under their desks.
and some use devices under their judicial benches…
P.J. your firing squad is waiting out back, don’t make ‘em wait too long they have a misfire of two if you do.
Lying POS!
Ewwwww!!
Now, now Hangfire, lets not upset Phil again.
Sorry, you’re right, Southpaw.
I get so emotional, because Californians don’t stay in California.
They move to Portland, Seattle, Austin, Houston, Denver, and screw up the local culture, importing their narcissism and elitism. And their stupid red wines.
Riesling uber alles!
In my neck of the woods, we have the largest reservoir in SoCal. They’re completing a pipeline to bring water down from the Sierra Nevada. The jacuzzi and pool are safe.
We also have a brand new state of the art gas fired power plant just up the road. I’d like the to thank the nice Texas people at Enron for that one.
Congressman is a Republican.
Now that I think about it Phoenix is more California than where I live.
Where are you at Southpaw?
Note to Self:
Self, add Phoenix to list in 5:16 above.
It’s not like they’d have to travel all the way to AZ to read up on the law. . .since my understanding is that it basically just makes the existing Federal law state-enforceable.
Experts like the Obama administration don’t need no steenking facts, it knows what conservatives really mean. Besides we have our talking points.
Where are you at Southpaw?
IE. I beieve 12 0f the 18 surrounding congressional districts are Republican (that’s including LA and San Diego). Lots of retired military vets and snowbirds down from Canada and Washington. You should see the Christmas parade….you’d think you were in any small town in middle America.
Last week I read an article in
PravdaOne of the local papers about the city placing a series of 35 foot tall acupuncture needles around Portland. These are to point out and help relieve congested traffic areas and decrease the overactive energy in high crime areas. This is not a joke.We have one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, and this is where they are spending stimulus money.
Okay, that gives me a good clue. I’ll bet my daughters are your neigbors
I’m in Chula Vista, and working to make that 13 of 18-Filner has got to go! Check out my next congressman-
Big endorsement a couple of hours ago, and another biggie soon. Never met a more honorable man.
I haven’t been to Portland since they closed down the Henry Weinhard’s brewery.
Besides, wife spent WAAAAAAAy too much at Clackamas.

No too surprising, considering how business-unfriendly CA tends to be.
The much-heralded Silicon Valley is now part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Places like Garland, Plano, Richardson, etc. are all industrial now.
You have to drive an hour just to see a cow or chicken. (OK, you’ll see chickens in the residential areas where Filipinos and Vietnamese move in).
Re: (above)
That should be Dallas-Foat Wuth, vice “Dallas-Fort Worth”
Yea, Nick sounds like a good one. I believe he was on Hugh Hewitt back in February.
Uh-oh, “Happy” is in the herbs again…
Hangfire – to those of us in Tarrant Cty it’s Fort Worth/Dallas!
Well, you West Texans have always been a little backwards.
Anything West of Euless is West Texas.
Does that include Grapevine, Colleyville, and Southlake? If so, I want a reduction in my property taxes. Not too many chickens in our neck of the woods either, only dry cleaners. The only cows you’ll see are trophy ranches – on forty acres some guy from CA thinks is big enough for a longhorn and a couple of horses.
Michelle seems to have a lot of Texans on here (including me).
O.T.
) area could arrange a meet-n-greet one of these days to put faces to the comments.
Maybe all of us in the Dallas/Fort Worth (
Jamie – we have to stop bragging about Texas, it only encourages more to move here – with or without a job. I’m transplanted from CA but it grinds my youknowwhat when someone starts in about this or that in criticism of Texas. I love it just the way it is, or was 15/20 years ago. There is a vibrancy in it’s people that is catching, a love of home/country, pride in it’s patriotism I’ve not seen anywhere else. We have to remind everyone that wants to make the leap and move here about the heat, humidity, bugs, snakes, tornadoes, dry walls, ice storms and winds that can blister the hide off an armadillo.
But, if I wanted a 3rd home I’d be looking at Arizona. May God bless and shine on them. They’re taking a lot of flack for no reason other than they made the decision to protect their families and state from invasion.
I live in Honolulu, but I was born at NAS Dallas.
Jamie – a meet-n-greet is a great idea, but we have to encourage our elegant hostess, MM, to drop in for a Shiner..
We should all meet at the Tupinamba on Inwood.
Hangfire, you can live in Honolulu or anywhere else on the glove, but you’ll never rid your DNA of Fort Worth/Dallas.
Hangfire, I had to look up Tupinamba’s – couldn’t remember where it was? It was great and wonderful food.
DFW area meet and greet sounds good. I’m in unless I have to be on the road that day.
FW is West Texas? You need to travel more. I grew up in Hale County where the ground is flat and the sky is brown.
Thanks to the naturally fluoridated water, your teeth are brown too. Cavity resistant, but brown.
My wife is from Ector County.
Now we’re stuck in the metroplex. I do miss the wide open spaces.
Hell, wouldn’t want to, 24K.
Most of my father’s side of the family still populate the area, especially Garland. And the cemeteries are full of us, too. One of my uncles had an infamous bar over on Greenville Ave.
And the Tupinamba has been making great Tex-Mex since I was a little boy.
Too bad they don’t have Bob White’s BBQ over on Grand anymore.
Take our lefties (all of them) to China and drop them off, would you expect them to be less hypocritical? Nah, they’d just be at home, until they were forced to work, a lot.
We’ve been lied to and seen the extreme hypocrisy of communists for a long time, there’s no reason to think either trait to have evaporated.
Hey all,
A meet and greet for those in the DFW area sounds great. I don’t know where Tupinambas is, but that’s ’cause I’m from San Antonio and nowadays Johnson County and try not to go to the Metroplex except to fly in or out.
But count me in on a get together, unless I’m on the road for work.
Michelle, in the headline, you misspelled “ignoranus”. I’m sure that was the term you meant to use….8-)
Probably common knoweledge, but how much worse is the budget situation going to get in CA when all of the illegals start migrating there from less “friendly” states? If the Kindergarten Governor didn’t have a tumor before, he will soon.
eh? too badfor hime: 75% of Americans (50% of Democrats, by the way) suport the bill and more strict immigration control
