Desert Visions

Desert Visions

As four separate wildfires devour the state of Arizona-burning more than 17,500 acres at last count-it’s instructive to look at how our government has handled its investigation into the two enormous ones which blazed a path of destruction across the state in 2011. According to the Arizona Daily Star, both the Horseshoe 2 and...

One Step Forward

One Step Forward

Some qualified good news came out of the Supreme Court recently, with a decision that partially upheld Arizona’s 2004 voter identification law. Unfortunately, while the court let stand the portion of Proposition 200 that required voters to provide I.D. in order to vote, it invalidated the I.D. requirement for voter registration. The bigger news...

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

Or, as New Yorkers like to call it, Discount Tequila Day. President Obama used this occasion to promote-what else-amnesty for illegal aliens! I bet you thought it was going to be more restrictive family reunification policies, didn’t you? My own suggestion is that you celebrate May 5th  by proudly waving Old Glory, and since...

Mike Cutler Examines SB 1070

Our good friend Michael Cutler has a new venue in which to explore the multidimensional problems associated with unfettered immigration and our government’s inability to control our borders. As a contributor to And Magazine this month, he takes a look at the Supreme Court’s deliberations over the constitutionality of Arizona’s landmark 2010 immigration enforcement law, SB...

Obama vs. the United States

Obama vs. the United States

The actual name of the case, of course, is Arizona vs. the United States, which-as Jan Brewer points out in her wonderful book, Scorpions for Breakfast-is an inherent contradiction. The United States overwhelmingly supports the state of Arizona, and endorses the landmark immigration enforcement law that this administration is trying to suppress. Even so,...

SB 1070 On Trial

On a day when one of the nation’s most prolific lens tics decided to propose a law as preposterous as his political career, there was a Senate hearing ostensibly designed to explore the constitutional implications of SB 1070. In reality, it was a transparent attempt by Democrats to influence the Supreme Court, as the...

The Daily Rattle-April 15, 2012

The Daily Rattle-April 15, 2012

This month’s Rattle brings us a host of stories that the mainstream media didn’t cover sufficiently-preferring instead to shower accolades upon the man responsible for abandoning immigration enforcement in the name of political opportunism. We’ll cover everything from the latest spate of violent crimes committed by illegal aliens to Barack Obama’s continued roll out of administrative amnesty, which now...

The Life, and Death, of a Rancher

The Life, and Death, of a Rancher

Today marks a deeply sad anniversary that will go unnoticed by most Americans, unfortunately, but which we must acknowledge if we ever hope to prevent such tragedies from recurring in the future. I speak, of course, of the murder of Arizona rancher Robert N. Krentz Jr., who was shot to death on his Cochise...

Samizdat Takes The Hudson

Samizdat Takes The Hudson

Because they dissemble, selectively omit, distort, and propagandize time and time, and time, again. Personally, I love this billboard, and have always agreed with our good friend William McGowan, re: lamentable tendencies among the mainstream press corps, especially regarding the issue of national sovereignty. However, I’m acutely aware that my political philosophy falls well outside the norm...

Sheriff Joe Arpaio Saves American Jobs

Sheriff Joe Arpaio Saves American Jobs

Stand With Arizona reports that law enforcement stalwart Sheriff Joe Arpaio doesn’t just stop crime by capturing illegals, he also frees up jobs that legitimate American citizens need and want:  We hear almost every day that “illegals do the jobs Americans won’t do”.
