For citizens who still hold-to our treasured values, traditions and needs, like responsibility and the nation's security, last week was a bad one for America's patriotic and proud. 

Perhaps most disturbing, at the eleventh hour, a Clinton-appointed federal judge in Phoenix, ordered a temporary injunction on the core of Arizona's new immigration law, including the ability to check the status of those stopped for other offenses.  The judge stated that Fed authority, in this case, can't be "pre-empted" by the states. Which is fine, if the Feds were actually doing their job to stop entry and legally remove many already here, rather than recruiting future voters for their team.  Speculation intensifies that the Administration may end-run Congress, in effect, imposing amnesty by "deferring" deportations.  So then, since the Arizona law opposes illegal immigration, reflecting unenforced Fed statutes, challenging that law means the Fed's Executive Branch supports the alien invasion, discarding childish claims of racism and profiling.  Folks, this is all very simple. You either have a legal right to be in this country or you don't.

And speaking of anti-America actions, next came the release of over 70-thousand classified military documents, aiding our enemies, outing informants, and elevating risk for our troops.  May we finally grow a back-bone and impose maximum penalties on those convicted of treason.  Then comes word the Justice Department may be lax enforcing a law ensuring our deployed military the right to vote-absentee, in time to be counted. You can figure that one out. The relentless cascade of purposeful actions, detrimental to America, continues to satisfy political egos short-term, no matter the harm being done to our nation long-term.  Damage-reversal begins in November.
