Equal Justice or Social Justice

In Arizona the people have had enough! With an overwhelming majority of support, 70%, the Arizona Legislature and current Governor Jan Brewer have made a very bold statement regarding illegal immigration. Beginning this week illegal immigrants will be arrested and deported back to their homeland, failure to prove American citizenship will result in a "free" trip home for thousands.

Some are trying to play the race card, totally ignoring the fact that this has nothing to do with race and everything to do with the enforcement of law. A law that the Federal government is supposed to be enforcing, I might add.

What has led the state of Arizona to this point? The simple fact that the Federal Government has abdicated it's duty to protect and defend the borders of the state from invasion as well as failure to enforce immigration laws, has left the state with no other choice.

The situation in Arizona has turned into a crisis and due to the failures of Washington, someone had to step up to the plate and address the issue head on, enter current Arizona Governor Jan Brewer. Amidst, threats of boycotts from San Francisco and some organizational groups, the Governor has stood firm in her decision to attack the problem at the state and local level. In addition to the threats of boycotts, Al Sharpton has vowed to march in protest of the heinous actions. The President is likewise playing the race card and recently sent out a call to his coalition of "young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women who powered our victory in 2008 [to] stand together once again." It appears that the President is always willing to take advantage of a crisis, interestingly enough, his rally cry left out several other demographics of society, but I am sure that he just "mis"spoke.

In all actuality what is happening here is nothing more than pandering on the part of the President. He is siding with law breakers, plain and simple, in an attempt to gain their political support. Because, if his amnesty reform passes congress, these folks will be voting in 2012. Furthermore, it is the solemn duty of the President of the United States to enforce the law of the land, not make exceptions when the law is broken.

As far as Al Sharpton goes, who the heck cares what Al Sharpton thinks? Sharpton will be isolating his base if he "marches on Phoenix." Think about it, how many African Americans are without jobs because of illegal immigrants? The number of estimated jobs held by illegal immigrants are 8 million, how many African Americans are adversely affected by these numbers?

Finally, there is a lesson that all Americans can learn from what is happening in Arizona. The difference between social justice and equal justice. Two things that every American should pay close attention to.

Our President is practicing "Social Justice," arguing that the law doesn't apply due to the special circumstances of those involved, this is the fundamentally flawed error of Social Justice, no respect for the law. This is the approach that Marx would have taken.

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer on the other hand is practicing "Equal Justice," she is applying the law and enforcing the law, remembering all the while that Justice is blind to the circumstances. This is the approach that our founding fathers would have endorsed.

Angry America!

Things are bad in America and they are gradually getting worse. The unemployment rate is approaching 10%, banks are falling flat on their face and the Federal Government is spending money like there is no tomorrow. The mainstream media is in bed with the government and honest law abiding citizens are being portrayed as racist, extremist, hate mongering radicals. The Presidents approval rating is now at 38% and Congress continues to thumb it's nose at the American people, things are bad in America!

In the 1976 movie, Network, a fictional character named Howard Beale delivered one of films all time great speeches. The speech commonly referred to as the "I'm Mad as Hell," speech turned actor Peter Finch into a film icon and a cult phenomenon. Although, Finch died prior to receiving the Best Actor award in 1976, his words still echo true today.

With an increase in the size of the Federal Government, the once silent majority is being awakened from it's slumber. Americans from all over the country are expressing their outrage and dissatisfaction with an out of control congress, a President of unbridled arrogance and a phony two party system that has left our once proud country in economic ruin. Just like Howard Beale, America is starting to get mad, very mad!

With the click of a remote the mainstream media portrays political dissent as extremism, racism, hate mongering, exterminating, homophobic, violent and seditious. The print media declares that we are "All Socialist Now," but when the President is confronted with the question it is laughed at and scoffed at as nothing more than a right wing "attack." The media that used to be against the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, now turn a blind eye to the fact that "their" candidate is doing the same thing as his predecessor. Throughout the nation our children are being indoctrinated into the Presidents cult of personality. Our school systems are subjecting students to propaganda in hopes that it will further the progressive agenda ie (An Inconvenient Truth, The Story of Stuff). A runaway Congress openly defies the will of the American people in passing Obamacare, which will force Americans to buy a product, while at the same time adding nearly 3 trillion dollars MORE to the U.S. debt. When will the insanity end?

The insanity will end when the American people follow the advice of Howard Beale.

Consider this a call to action!

"So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell,

"I'm as mad as hell,

and I'm not going to take this anymore!!" "
