ARIZONA'S LAW AND WHAT WE CAN DO

Whoa, there. Your Ostrich Killer SUPPORTS Arizona's law concerning allowing police officials to question someone's immigration status. So if you're looking for a blog about how to help get rid of that law, you're at the wrong place.

I want to suggest ways that we can encourage and enrich Arizona for having the stones to do what is right. Here are a few possibilities:

1. Vacation in Arizona instead of, say, Los Angeles or Sacramento. This is called a 'buycott.'
2. Buy products made in Arizona when that's a choice. Another buycott.
3. Write blogs like this one.
4. Encourage Arizona to deport illegals to cities and states that have enacted sanctions against Arizona. Just put those illegals on buses or trains and send them to Los Angeles, or Sacramento, or Seattle, or a number of other places. If the actions of the leaders of those localities match their words, those illegals will be quite welcome there.
5. Write your congressmen and women and tell them to support Arizona's law. Make sure they understand that their jobs could be impacted by their rhetoric and actions concerning this issue.

It's a crying shame that a state has to take this sort of action to pick up the slack caused by federal inaction. If only the feds would enforce the laws already on the books . . .

FAMOUS LAST WORDS
or
"I have several friends who are muslims."

That's true, if you're a muslim. If you're islamic. But if you're anything else, you are either an infidel or a non-believer.

Unless you're a muslim, you can be lied to, cheated, imprisoned or killed. Any follower of islam may do any of those things to you and suffer no consequences under islamic law, so long as they are satisfied in their own minds that what they do furthers the aims of islam.

If you're an infidel, you must be killed. If you are a non-believer, you must be converted - but if you refuse to convert, you must be either put to work for the benefit of islam, or killed.

You decidedly do NOT have any friends who are muslims. You only know people who are islamic, who seem to be friendly. But you cannot trust them. So take off the blinders.

AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO . . .

Today's blog post is for the entertainment of Americans citizens only. Anyone else may find a certain entertainment value in trying to come up with correct answers as well, and may in fact score better than most Americans. Sadly.

Okay, let's talk about American 'rights.' You know what a right is, right? You hear the word dozens of times every day, until some of us want to throw up at its very mention. But try to hold your lunch.

The United States Constitution provides Americans their rights. They're written down, clear and obvious. But they're in there in two ways: those rights reserved for Government, and those reserved for the citizens. We're going to concern ourselves, in this blog, with those rights that belong to the citizen.

So here's the quiz: which of the below 'rights', semi-colon separated, are rights according to the US Constitution? Pick all that apply.

You have the right to:
A lawyer; a speedy trial; privacy; life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; separation of church and State; vote; own property; offensive speech; health care; a job; associate with whomever you choose to associate; shelter; free exercise of your religion; own and carry firearms; food; not be subjected to unreasonable search and seizure; special treatment if you are of a specified race or gender; money and other necessary resources; health care; transportation; your safety; not associate with whomever you do not want to associate; a cell phone; an abortion; freedom of movement; television; an education.

Good luck. Let your friendly Ostrich Killer know how you do. You can score yourself by consulting your research assistant, Mr. Google, about the US Constitution.

While you're browsing the Constitution, take a look at the Tenth Amendment. Then think about it.

AMERICAN ANTI-SEMITISM

The other day I had lunch with a close friend, one who served in the armed services of the United States with distinction. The subject of Israel's blockade of Gaza came up.

I was astounded at my friend's ignorance of history. He said words to the effect that if Britain and the United States hadn't divided up the middle east and helped Jews steal the land that is now Israel from the Palestinians, none of the trouble we see today would be occurring. Then he echoed the MSM (Main Stream Media) line that Israel's enforcement of the blockade had been 'botched' and probably criminal.

He is a frequent listener to PBS, the government-owned and run propaganda radio network.

In thinking about this later, I came to the conclusion that he lacks knowledge, and isn't truly an anti-Semite. I know him to be a man of good will and soft-hearted. He's just ignorant and too lazy to do a little research on the actual history of the situation there. Then I went on to extrapolate that his functional anti-Semitism mirrors much of American thinking, or rather lack of it. Much of what passes for thinking and knowledge in the United States is little more than spouting the latest buzz phrases delivered by the MSM.

So yes, I place a lot of blame on the MSM for the message: Jews are wrong. Never mind that they're trying to prevent re-arming of Hamas, the elected government of Gaza and officially a terrorist organization. Never mind that any time Gaza gets an uninspected shipment of 'humanitarian relief' supplies, a barrage of rocket attacks on Israel ensue.

The MSM is the collective lapdog of the Obama regime. Barack Hussein Obama is an anti-semite, both in words and in actions. Other than Jimmy Carter, he is the only president in recent history to be so obviously an enemy of the Jewish State. So it's no surprise that the MSM, lapdog that it is, spouts Obama anti-semitic propaganda and simply refuses to provide their listeners with the truth about the blockade. So it's no wonder that their historically illiterate and intellectually lazy American audience thinks poorly of Israel for the 'botched' blockade enforcement.

What should Israel have done? Their 'botched' enforcement wound up costing the blockade runners nine lives and deportation. The blockade held. Very humanitarian, among the annals of historical blockade enforcements. And it accomplished its mission.

Your Ostrich Killer, being simpler-minded and less interested in keeping my enemies alive, would have simply sunk the ships who refused to comply with their order to either go into port for the usual (yes, usual) cargo inspections prior to transshipment to Gaza, or to leave those waters. A blockade is a systematic act of war, legitimate and time-honored, but is only useful if the imposing country is willing to enforce it. In short, a blockade is not a blockade if it isn't enforced. Gaza has fired over 4,000 rockets into Israel. I'd say that constitutes a state of war, wouldn't you? Plenty of reason to blockade them.

So I am with the Israelis on this matter. They have the absolute right to self-defense. And I'm talking about forward, active, pre-emptive defense of the sort we, as Americans, would use in their place if we received a constant rain of rockets from across any of our borders. However, apparently the rest of the world thinks their mere existence is an affront to peace and thus should suffer this endless barrage in silence and passively. I am ashamed of my current government's position on this and other matters concerning the state of Israel. And I shake in my boots at the awful prospects for that region as long as Barack Hussein Obama is in power. How long can it be before the states hostile to Israel detect - or think they detect - a Barack Hussein Obama green light to attack Israel? If they do, this time it's likely millions will die. And those deaths will be directly attributable to Barack Hussein Obama.

He needs to go. Thank God he appears to have committed an impeachable offense in trying to bribe people with white house jobs.

My hat is off to Benjamin Netanyahu for his standing up for his country, against pretty much the rest of the world. I'm with you, buddy. And I'm not alone. God be with you and your countrymen.
