Ariz. lawmakers: Verify citizenship of candidates

Retarded Arizona Legislature Reveals Collective IQ

The complete retards that comprise the elected Republican officials of the Arizona legislature want President Obama to show his Hawaiian birth certificate if he runs for re-election. The collective ignorance of the Republicans cannot but help seep out of the sewer to expose their bigotry.

I do not recall ANYONE in Arizona, or elsewhere, challenging the candidacy of John McCain, who is NOT from Arizona, when he ran for the Presidency. Born outside of the United States in Panama, every military and foreign service brat born overseas KNOWS there is no way McCain could legally run for President. Nor do I recall any of these same Republican ignoramuses challenging Sarah Palin for aiding and abetting the Alaskan Independence Party, on its face an act of treason.

Arizona is comprised of racists imported from other parts of the country.

* that Thomas was retaliating against members of the board of supervisors for perceived actions against his office, including filing a racketeering lawsuit against them in federal court.

* that Thomas was attempting to gain political advantage by prosecuting those who oppose him politically, including Wilcox.

* that Thomas acted in concert with Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who also misused his power in targeting members of the board."

Henry A. Wallace, The Danger of American Fascism

Henry A. Wallace, The Danger of American Fascism: "The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism. They use every opportunity to impugn democracy. They use isolationism as a slogan to conceal their own selfish imperialism. They cultivate hate and distrust of both Britain and Russia. They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection."

Chris Hedges: Boycott FedEx - Chris Hedges' Columns - Truthdig: "Those cast aside are reaching out to anyone, no matter how buffoonish or ignorant, who promises that the parasites and courtiers who serve the corporate state will disappear. Right-wing rage is being fused with right-wing populism. And once this takes hold, a protofascism will sweep across our blighted landscape fueled by a mounting personal and economic despair. Take a look at Sinclair Lewis’ “It Can’t Happen Here.” It is a good window into what awaits us."
