[Reader-list] Public Enemy vs Arizona: Sonic Immigration

[Paul D. Miller]

Actually, I don't think all Republicans are moronic hippocrites.  
Lincoln was pretty intriguing, and as bad as Nixon was, he expanded  
public parks and created alot of nature reserves...

But yeah. Republicans always take some kind of 'high horse' type  
situation that only works if you don't pay attention to details -  
which regretfully, too many Americans don't.

I'll give Republicans credit though - for being relentlessly evil.  
It's intriguing. They never, ever stop.

But, no, not all evil comes from Republicans. Usually the culprit is  
basically just plain unwillingness to think about facts and  
complexity. Republicans usually want really simple answers for very  
complex situations. It's a tragedy for the 21st century that they are  
taken even vaguely serious.

Remember those good old 'weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?' or the  
db gay marriage scare of the last election? Or Sarah Palins hilarious  
take on geo-politics that was worthy of Saturday Nite Live?
