A Message from the Arizona Tourism Bureau
World Net Daily ^ | April 30, 2010 | Joseph Farah

Posted on 04/30/2010 9:53:31 AM PDT by no dems

Well, that's not quite right. This isn't really a message from the Arizona tourism bureau. But, if no one else is going to stand up for Arizona, I sure will.

Not only am I not participating in the boycott of the state over its common-sense stand on the illegal-alien invasion, I am actively promoting tourism there. I find myself looking for a reason to visit the fair state – support it, praise the people of Arizona for standing up and acting courageously, doing something that will not only benefit Arizonans but all Americans as well.

What exactly is it that has Barack Obama and his minions in such an uproar? They say it isn't "fair" to ask people on the street for identification because of suspicion they might be illegal aliens.

Ironically, the same people who make this claim have no problem promoting national ID cards for all Americans. They have no problem with intrusive Census questions for all Americans. They have no problem with invasive tax returns. They have no problem with requiring ID checks at the White House and the Congress of the United States. They have no problem with ID checks just to get in the door of virtually every government building in Washington, D.C. They don't even have a problem with profiling Americans, as long as the profiling is of military veterans, churchgoers, patriots, opponents of abortion and tea-party activists.

Yahoo!!! I've been waiting for this to happen on the National level. A few of us Freepers have been promoting Arizona tourism and commerce since this all came down.

Really good points in the article.

What's not fair to us, in AZ and elsewhere, is to be gunned down, run over, infected, maimed, robbed, raped, burglarized, property damaged, our natural areas gutted, etc. etc. while the D.C. elites sit in their fortresses and dictate "fairness"!!

Re-posting from the latst, “Shakira opposes Arizona,” thread:

Ya know..

Every single one of these morons opposing this needs to...

Correction:

MUST be held accountable for the actions of every illegal in America. They are EMPOPWERING them all!

EVERY celebrity.
EVERY politician.
EVERY activist.
EVERY mayor of EVERY sanctuary city.

The Arizona rancher who was killed by illegals? SHAKIRA is responsible for his murder!
How does THAT grab you?

All of the sex crimes.
All of the American children hurt and killed by illegals.

THESE people are to blame!

I sent an email of support but wish there was something more to thank Gov. Brewer for her devotion to our country, and her courage.

EVERY celebrity.

With all the rehab places we have out here, I wonder if all the drunken, druggie, sex-addicted celebrities will stop coming... Good riddance I say, plus it's not like they're allowed out to spend money in the community anyway.

Sounds good to me. Let’s bring it home; you oppose the Arizona Immigration Law, you take responsibility for the murders and rapes committed by every Illegal in the State.

Hold your ground. A good many of us support you folks. As you should see, our numbers are growing and will continue to grow.

I for one, have changed our vacation plans to include a visit Arizona. I just hope your sun doesn’t melt my Airstream. LOL

The last time I visited a small portion of your state, we were on a Harley and it was 116*.. hot, hot, way too hot. Ad to that the heat from the road and motor! I don’t think I could take that again. So, this time we are bringing our own air-conditioner. ;>)

We can’t come down during the winter, because we would have trouble getting through our snow and ice covered mountains..... but we will be there.

Hang in there.....

I'm going to Az. in May for my son's graduation from ASU, my other son graduated from UA three years ago. I plan to come back with a few of these (some for Uof A some for ASU), just to irritate the local lefties here in the Bay area:

You may want to reconsider that last comment.

By paying for rehab at an AZ. facility that allows those rehab clinics to stay open, grow and hire more people. Those are the people that are then spending the money that the rehab attendees pay to try and get their lives back together.

So, I do hope they continue to go to Az. which is an indirect boost to the economy.

Remember, trickle down does work!

I was held up at gunpoint as I was about to get out of my boyfriend's car....in front of my frakkin house on 11/11/07 by 2 illegals (17 and 18 y/o) and gang members, at that! I believe they were going to carjack us but I once they took a look at my boyfriend...who's family is from the Dominican Republic and here LEGALLY.....the 2 young thugs abandoned hopes of jacking the new Honda and decided to threaten to kill us if we did not hand over our wallets! The boyfriend handed over his wallet and I gave them my money AND NOT my wallet. I lived alone....there was no way in h3ll I was handing over my wallet!!!! There was a quick second when they stepped away from the car and I yelled....F#$%*&G DRIVE to my boyfriend....and we sped off! The thugs shot at us as we drove away!!!! We found out a few days later the bullet dinged around the trunk and the back seat...BARELY missing my boyfriend's back....

The shooter then went on to carjack a gal and then went to a movie theatre parking lot the next night and shot 6 bullets into a carload of high school girls!!!

The shooter had my boyfriend's ID and the gal's cell phone on him when the cops arrested him..... IDIOT!!!!

Needless to say....the shooter got 16 years and his pal 2 years for ratting on his buddy. I am glad they are locked up....however we are paying for these thugs to be incarcerated....it just chaps my hide...
