I saw an interesting poll on the news tonight. The majority of Americans support the Arizona law. They also support racial profiling to deal with terrorism.

I would agree ... both are necessary. I am sorry if it offends some ... but we need to protect the majority and not penalize all to protect the feelings of a few. If they have done nothing wrong and their are no ties, it is a minor inconvience.

Hey, your Fruit of the Looms are too tight. IT WAS A JOKE. Loosen up man and stop taking everything so serious.

I happen to agree with Arizona. As I told my wife, unless you live through having strange people running through your back yard coming to the USA, you have no right to criticize the Governor. If someone runs through our yard or their dog pees in the garden she gets mad.

I just heard the results and missed who did the poll but they actually read the Arizona law to a large number of respondents and once they heard what was actually in it a significant majority supported the law. The pollster expressed shock that 64% of Democrats that responded were also in favor. I would suspect given the methodology they did not have a large sample size so the error rate is probably pretty high.

Once again the government media is abdicating their role and have taken sides. It is just one more reason they are going the way of the dinosaur and the alternate media is in ascendance.
