Law

What is a law? And I will not go to Mr. Webster for the definition, but to my mental dictionary of cowboy logic.

A law is a code of conduct which is set by whatever legislative entity holds power. A standard to which all citizens must conform, whether they agree with it or not. You may think it’s safe to drive 65mph in a 55mph speed zone but if you’re caught doing it you’re going to get a ticket.

You may think it’s fine to have ten large mouth bass in your live well when the limit is five. But if the game warden finds you over the limit you’re going to pay for it.

Laws are made for the protection of a nation’s or a community’s protection and without laws there’s no peace, no safety and no civilization.
Just because you don’t agree with a law doesn’t mean you can break it with impunity and if enough people decide to do it, the only thing left to society is anarchy.

The new law giving police the authority to determine someone’s citizenship after having stopped them for a violation, or perceived violation of the law, is not racist, not discriminatory and not meant to single out anyone, it is only to determine their American citizenship.

That responsibility actually belongs to the federal government but due to the lack of common sense and guts in Washington it has fallen to the state government to protect the people of the state of Arizona.

With a significant population ratio of Latino citizens in the state of Arizona I do not believe the legislators voted it into being or the governor signed it into law without much consternation. The political pressure must have been trememdous.

But unlike the federal government the state government did not shirk their duty to protect their citizens and took the bull by the horns.

This law is not a thoughtlessly passed piece of legislation but was provoked by lawlessness including kidnapping, drug trafficking and cold blooded murder.

If you think you’re getting the whole story of what’s going in Arizona from the media you are sadly mistaken. There is all but total anarchy with ordinary citizens being killed and beaten by violent gangs who transport their drugs across the privately owned land of ranchers whose families have been ranching on the border since the 1800’s.

The rancher who was recently murdered was not a random choice but was lured to his death by a drug gang that he had defied and a family in that area was beaten in their own house for the same reason.

Arizona doesn’t have time for the spineless, out of touch bunch of milksops in Washington to pass some totally meaningless and toothless piece of politically correct legislation.

They needed action now and they took it.

More power to you Arizona!

Pray for our troops.

What do you think?

God bless America
