What they DO understand is that this is the United States,and that can try to change a law that is unjust. This is the central tenet of our political system. This is OUR America, and we will fight racism. Have respect for their passion if not for the details of their skit- which were clearly not in line with peaceful actions. Didn't any of you make a mistake when you were young, frustrated and wanted to see things change in a hurry?
Yeah, I took part in a panty raid in college after we were threatened by the administration about things like that. They didn't kick us out of school but they did have a ball chewing on us.

What the State Superintendent is getting at is that having all those ethnic studies classes isn't real good since the sons and daughters of illegals (that makes them illegal, too) are being told to rebel in order to keep their cultural beliefs and not accept the beliefs of Arizonans of all colors.

Teens are the most likely to take the right kind of noises made by recalcitrant, rebellious teachers to heart. They have been found to be very fertile ground by the far left (communists) all over the world. They are willing to demonstrate as that group did in manners that can be seen to be threats. Of course, that is what they did yesterday. They threatened to take the man's life if he doesn't knuckle down to them. Defending them indicates to me that the defender is one of them, in thought at least.

I don't agree with the message, but I do agree if they are actually Americans, they have the right to speak their minds, no matter how messed up their message is.

No. We have a problem with promoting violence, like the peace loving left used to.

When will you liberals wake up? Fascism does not have a selective blade and cuts indiscriminantly. When one opposes personal freedom and the integrity of the nation, it is only a matter of time before totalitarianism reigns. To support "La Raza" (how racist is that) is to aid and assist an element set to destroy our nation and culture.

Wake up.
hawkeye2009 !!! ... Precisely !

These pitiful "Automatons" will never wake up ! Truth and the facts mean absolutely nothing to this crew ! How utterly sad !

Thanks / Old lamar

I will say once again, that the real race/ethnic dividers are the left...This is their living, their existence...Harmony would destroy their existence.

And the self appointed Hispanic leaders (who really have very little support in the Hispanic community), are among the worst. Their lack of real political/social knowledge is the reason for their divisive actions.

All the "legal" populace here wants is a legal and fair solution that resolves this problem..And that is simply that...

Demonstrations like this works against that frame of mind, and makes the rest of us think "Maybe we're making a mistake with these people, and this is their ways...just like in their own countries - social disorder and riots"

They're shooting themselves in the foot..

migee !!! ... On The Mark !!!

Once again we have a prime example of how these "Puddin Heads" have no intention of becoming true American Citizen's ..... These " Illegal Aliens" come here and want to do the same sadly retarded foolishness they did in old wonderful Mexico, without any regard for America, it's laws or it's outstanding culture !

Social Disorder, Riot's and Crime are their only significant contribution to America. How much longer can this national disgrace be allowed to continue ??? Thanks / Old Sgt. Lamar

Of course. And the illegals illegally occupying housing in San Francisco (while an inept and ineffectual police department stands by) is perfectly fine. This is a violation of the law, and we are a nation which functions by the rule of law. To disregard the integrity of the law invites violence and anarchy, which appears to be the sincere desire of liberals. Let us review-

1. The states have the right to make laws
2. The citizens of Arizona support the new illegal immigrant law
3. Citizens of other states do not pay taxes in Arizona, nor do they vote in Arizona elections, therefore thier opinions mean ZERO.
4. Illegals, by definition, are breaking the law by their presence in the US
5. The presence of the illegals, due to use of healthcare and public services, is bankrupting border states
6. In order to avoid insolvency, states MUST and ARE taking action against the invasion of illegals in their state
7. The federal government, due to fear and incompetence, has abdicated its duty to protect the borders, leaving the states to fend for themselves.
8. The Arizona law is the first "salvo" in the act of defending itself



Now most fascists despise personal liberty and the rule of law. By that measure, they are wont to impose thier will on other citizens and force "compliance" through threat of imprisonment, fines, or violence. Like a good fascist, the liberals of the US have not lost a beat and are ready to impose thier will upon a population (the state of Arizona) who is fully capable of making decisions that best suit the needs of the state. Fascists, who lack confidence in themselves and the will to perform independently, have sacrificed thier personal liberty for the "comfort" and shelter of the state, yielding freedom for "treats". The citizens of Arizona apparently have rejected that mindset and choose to shape their own destiny, as we would expect of free people. Slaves, like liberals who lack confidence in themselves and the will of free men, are all too willing to accept the yoke of the federal government and obey. Thank goodness for Arizona.

The libs will lose in the end, as they lack the will and resolve to carry out an objective. It is why they are liberal- they lack initiative and resolve and are forced to become federal serfs for thier personal sense of security and financial survival. Serfs always wilt in times of trial, as they lack the personal strength to endure that is the priveledge of free men only; Liberalism is doomed, as it is modern serfdom.

what if (REMEMBER NOW, THIS IS A "WHAT IF", NOT AN ACTUAL THREAT) these kids were saying "Somebody should kill obama", and then hung an empty suit with an obama mask on it, by the neck.
what would you say then?
How about if those same students took the same empty suit to a rifle range and used it for target practice?
What would you say then?
What do you suppose the Secret Service would have to say about any such incidents?

You learned from that post? Interesting. I just saw it as more of the same mindless bashing of liberals. He could have shortened it by just saying: Liberals are always bad. Conservatives are always good.

And then you would have said, "Wow! Great post!"

There are statutes about making threats against the President.

See 18 USC Sec. 871, which has been found to be constitutional by federal courts.

The Secret Service has a wide latitude to investigate events of the type you are talking about.
