Calderon, Go Home!
Opinion: by Bill Payne, on May 20, 2010
While Mexican President Felipe Calderon condemned Arizona’s new law against illegal immigrants today, Congressional "progressives" (AKA Democrats) and White House officials– including Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Janet Napolitano– gave him a standing ovation. Holder and Napolitano have both admitted they have not even read the law that they have been criticizing, by the way. Very typical of the progressive socialist loonies in Washington these days.
Not to be outdone, Obama, true to form, agreed the Arizona law could well be discriminatory, rather than doing his job and telling Calderon to butt out of American politics. He has also ordered a Justice Department review.
Calderon also asked Congress to reinstate the assault weapons ban, a clear attack on the second amendment rights of all Americans. While Obama swore an oath to protect and preserve the Constitution, (don’t hold your breath) he failed to speak out against Calderon’s unwelcome meddling in our internal affairs.
On a lighter side, Michelle Malkin writes, referring to a picture of Biden and Pelosi gushing over Caderon: "Look at Plugs and Blinky, who were absolutely enamored. Pelosi looks like Calderon just handed her a complimentary fistful of Botox."
Well, she could use some Botox, in my opinion.
I suppose, despite his arrogance, that some would say that Calderon showed he has some cojones to say what he did before Congress…. but most would not say that about Obama. Arrogance, yes, but cojones, no. His typical behavior around foreign representatives seems to be constant apologies for our country.
I was under the impression that the last election was for a president, not an apologist. And wasn’t that election for a president to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, rather than some insidious scheme to fundamentally transform America?
Polls show that the majority of Americans approve of Arizona’s law. So why don’t the congressional clowns in the regressive progressive movement do their jobs and represent that majority of Americans? Why do they applaud the slurs of a foreign official, who has no damn business criticizing what Arizona or any other state does?
I don’t know the answer to those questions, nor do I know how in the world this crop of misguided miscreants ever got voted into office in the first place… unless it was a day of massively evil spiritual deception….
