It seems that the Federal Government is invesgating Maricopa County Sheriff Arpaio, claiming Civil Rights Violations. They want his office to provide them with Thousands of Documents and reports but won't be specific about what they want. The Sheriff has asked for more specificty as to what they want. It seem this invesgation is like so many that the Civil Rights Department and the Dept of Justice, they supiona all your documents and hope they can find something or catch you in a trap where you did not supply the right documents. They make outragious charges against you and hope they can find a minor technicatility to hang you on and claim a major victory. There are two non legal terms for this action - it is either a fishing expidetation or a witch hunt. In this case they are going after the local Sheriff because he is the visable symbol of Law and Order and on the front line in the immigration enforcement. By the same token the DOJ refuses to invesgate voter intimadation by the New Black Panthers. It seem to me that if you are Minority (except Asian) this administration sees you as the victum and you can do no wrong. Who is the racist in this country?

This is where affirmative action fell short as well. If you want equality, then there cant be "special rights". Equality is blind and names and skin colors should have no bearing. The Obama Administration has taken it further. They have taken it across our borders. Letting another country run rough shod over us is not a solution but rather fuel for the fire. Our next administration is going to have their hands full, I am just not sure they will be able to fix all of this.

I never knew America was this racial until Obama took office. And I'm not talking about racISM. Yes, I've certainly seen some in my life. I know it exists everywhere and America is no exception. But I literally had no idea just how separate liberals viewed us all. So many "groups" and so many versions of America per their ideology. It's so far removed from my common sense understanding of life that a non-American takes precedence over an American in America so long as the non-American happens to be any race but white. That's about as racial as you can get to me. Simply because most of the people south of the US's border happen to be darker-skinned, wanting to approach them about citizenship is spun into viciously accosting them like we're zee Germanz. I don't understand this whole "social justice" outlook on life. I honestly don't. Placating minorities and showing preferential treatment is degrading to minorities and insulting to the rest of us. And putting on a big dog and pony show on the world stage to paint your own country as backward and racist without a shred of solid evidence is one of the more saddening things I've ever witnessed. America becomes Iran on the world stage because Obama and company decide that it's a smart move to distort a law, suggest the hypothetical worse, and pass it off as a human rights violation. And now they're lining folks up for character assassination. Apart from teasing at Obama a little bit, I think I've been very fair. But I have to go ahead and make an honest assessment now. He's the worst President--politician in general--I've ever seen. This stuff doesn't skip by him and become Holder's or Clinton's doing. It's him.

Everyone is racist they just wont admit it. It is part of evolution and that humans have a wolf pack mentality toward diversity.
