Arizona Sheriff: 'Our Own Government Has Become Our Enemy'

Pinal County (Ariz.) Sheriff Paul Babeu is hopping mad at the federal government.

Babeu told CNSNews.com that rather than help law enforcement in Arizona stop the hundreds of thousands of people who come into the United States illegally, the federal government is targeting the state and its law enforcement personnel.

“What’s very troubling is the fact that at a time when we in law enforcement and our state need help from the federal government, instead of sending help they put up billboard-size signs warning our citizens to stay out of the desert in my county because of dangerous drug and human smuggling and weapons and bandits and all these other things and then, behind that, they drag us into court with the ACLU,” Babeu said.

The sheriff was referring to the law suits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the U.S. Department of Justice challenging the state’s new immigration law.

“So who has partnered with the ACLU?” Babeu said in a telephone interview with CNSNews.com. “It’s the president and (Attorney General) Eric Holder himself. And that’s simply outrageous.”

This is what the American people support. They lack the knowledge to do differently.

US Gomit must be complicit in drug trafficking - it’s the only thing that makes sense to me... gotta wonder why else would “they” would allow this to continue.....and what their take is....

When one sees the results of the Aug. 24 AZ primary, we will know for certainty that the American people are fully disciples of big and expanded government. I would imagine even Lindsey Graham will be in Phoenix for the celebration.

The government is not, IMO, but I suspect one hell of a lot of officials and political donors are.

There was a smile here. Mostly I was trying to figure out without being crude and still be funny to say I resented being compared to him. My plan failed. :-(

Finally, someone says what many Americans have been thinking.

[Arcy]

I agree with you.

">i>As a woman I really resent that you use that term to describe the president. .-)"

I thought was not a good description of zero ,, but its next to it (o)

Yes, that became obvious under W. It is also the reason that they resist legalization. It would destroy the profit margin. Taxation is somewhat less profitable than crime.

If the police forces in this country had any cojones, they would tell their union masters to shove it and do what is right rather than do what is politically expedient.

Obama’s administration sold out the police departments of the United States. Now is the time to take our police forces back and have them protect the people and not the administration.

Ok everyone. I was trying to be funny, I failed. ;-(
I’ll be funny another day. :-)

I resented being compared to him.

HA! That's even funnier!!! LOL

A few months ago, my then-10 year-old daughter confided in me quietly that she couldn't bring herself to call Obama the "P" word. Well, immediately my brain went into a tizzy trying to think of what that P word could possibly be. "What words have I used to describe Obama that started with a P???" A few I hoped she hadn't heard me use.

I worked up the courage to ask her, "What word would that be, honey?"

Smart girl: "President" LOL

[svcw]

That is fantastic. What a kid!!! Good job.

>>”As a woman I really resent that you use that term [pussy] to describe the president.”<<

Look at it this way. Roughly half the world’s population has ‘one’.

Here in the United States WE ALL HAVE ONE.

Lucky us, huh?
