Dems Stand and Cheer as Calderon Bashes Arizona Law

By Doug Powers  •  May 20, 2010 04:02 PM

If Jan Brewer had been the territorial governor of Hawaii in 1941 and these same Democrats were in charge, they would have applauded the Pearl Harbor attack, had a State Dinner for Hirohito, and the memorable quote from Obama’s post-attack speech would have been, “The only thing we have to fear is that the Hawaiian authorities will start profiling Japanese.”

Think about it — a foreign leader comes to the U.S., bashes a state within the U.S. for doing something that it’s well within their constitutional rights to do, and Democrats stand and cheer. This isn’t surprising but it never ceases to be amazing.

Also look for Attorney General Eric Holder at about the 23-second mark, who slowly stands up to applaud the President of Mexico for bashing an American law he hasn’t even read (h/t Freedom’s Lighthouse):

Any real American president would have shoved this guy out through the garbage exit yesterday, but not this bunch.

Look at Plugs and Blinky, who were absolutely enamored. Pelosi looks like Calderon just handed her a complimentary fistful of Botox:

null

Of course, there was that one low-key part where Calderon had something nice to say about the United States:

null

I was told they wouldn’t introduce Calderon to Robert Byrd, because the last time they did, Byrd looked up and said, “Why aren’t you in the Rose Garden weedin’ the hostaces, son?” An international incident was barely avoided.

So, sides have been chosen, and nothing should scare voters more than this kind of continual evidence that Democrats will stand for foreign leaders over one of the states in their own country. And to top it off, a state that did something that the vast majority of Americans agree with.

Update: Rep. Tom McClintock responds to Calderone.

    Virginia said: …The fact is Bush did reduce border …

    You are probably correct but the simple fact is President Bush is no longer in charge. A third world despot was invited into our Congress to malign American Citizens, to disparage our rule of law and to belittle some very sacred ideals. And the ruling party of Democrat/Socialists gave him a standing ovation. It is an event that I will not soon forget! President Bush was not in the room.

    these mf’ers really do hate America. It always makes me wonder that these 535 (_*_)s in congress are all very rich people BECAUSE of America’s Exceptionalism, but they all feel that following proven failures will now succeed because they are governing. Communism has failed EVERYWHERE it has been tried. SOCIALISM is in collapse around the world, because they have all run out of other people’s money at the same time. Yet our enlightened leadership is following that same course with the hope of somehow changing the outcome. Can you say CRAZY. Today’s bailout is 28 billion to save schoolteachers so they don’t have to face layoffs when the property taxes have fallen because people don’t have jobs and the housing market crashed. BUT WE THE TAXPAYERS HAVE TO SAVE THOSE GUBMINT WORKERS FROM FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THIS MESS. But tomorrows bailout is the bonecrusher, TRILLIONS TO BAILOUT UNFUNDED PENSIONS TO THOSE SAME GUBMINT WORKERS. Yesterday a story about Miami and it’s pension fund woes stated that of the 10 highest paid city employees in Miami, 8 were firemen with average 300k incomes and pensions. But hey, after 50 years of work and paying into Social Insecurity, I’ll get about 22k per year of taxable income, compared to the firefighter who retires with 30 years and gets 75% of 200k, which my grandchildren will still be paying when they seek to retire.

    I saw this elsewhere as a comment on this idiot Calderon’s lecture. I thought it was a pretty good comment.

    Dear Mr. Obama:____ I’m planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.__________ We’re planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico , and we’ll need your help to make a few arrangements.________ We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws._________ I’m sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I’m on my way over?___________ Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:_______________ 1. Free medical care for my entire family.__________ 2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.____________ 3. Please print all Mexican Government forms in English.__________ 4. I want my grandkids to be taught Spanish by English- speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.___________ 5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.___________ 6. I want my grandkids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.__________ 7. Please plan to feed my grandkids at school for both breakfast and lunch.___________ 8. I will need a local Mexican driver’s license so I can get easy access to government services.____________ 9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico , but I don’t plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won’t make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.____________ 10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer._____________ 11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my housetop, put U.S. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals._____________ 12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start._______________ 13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy._________________ 14. I want to receive free food stamps.____________ 15. Naturally, I’ll expect free rent subsidies._____________ 16. I’ll need income tax credits so that although I don’t pay Mexican taxes, I’ll receive money from the government.____________ 17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Government pays $4,500.00 to help me buy a new car._____________________ 18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I’ll get a monthly income in retirement._______________________ I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who walk over to the U.S. from Mexico . I am sure that President Calderon won’t mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.______________________ Thank you so much for your kind help.

    Forgot to add that the Republican Party needs a house and senate cleaning as well. We have far too many “leaders” who are willing to accommodate the left to maintain power – Specter, McCain, and others are the poster boys for RINO central. We need leaders who will go on the offensive against the socialists not who try to explain socialism.

    A bit off-topic but, when Obama’s administration served Mexican food for the State Dinner, wasn’t that racist? After all, Calderon is Mexican, so serving him Mexican food is racist…right? I guess I am just remembering when serving fried chicken and watermelon at a “black” event was terribly racist because that food is somehow connected to the blacks! Where am I wrong?

    Here it is!

    On MLK Day last month, the Denver Public Schools served Southern-style fried chicken, biscuits, and collard greens for lunch.

    Despite the fact that MLK was actually from the South and actually liked those foods, the racial grievance crowd raised hell and complained that the menu was RAAAAACIST — prompting an apology from the school system.

    You can find 7.62 for 25 cents? I bought my last case of 7.62 NATO at Cheaper Than Dirt and paid $24.19/bx of 20, which comes out to $1.21 per round. So, I could use some advice on where I can get some for 25 cents a round. Now when I reload these my costs go down to 85 cents a round. But, when you generally shoot about 10k-20k rounds a year for practice and a minimum of 40 rounds per match. I’d like to find out where I can get some ammo for 25 cents a round.
