I have been meaning to post, but have been more engaged with Twitter. So, I will entertain a few things right now. I don't understand how people in their right mind can support SB1070 in Arizona and how other states are thinking of following suit.

What the new law does is make most persons of color suspect. The law doesn't really do anything besides fear mongering and allows quiet racism to become more vocal. The law should give American pause, as it resembles tactics that the SS employed under Hitler's regime. Yes, I am making a comparison to Hitler.

The Tea Party circus and backlash to President Obama has meant that every fruitcake is now out in the open and proud to join groups wishing harm to the POTUS and voicing sentiments that just a few years back would have raised eyebrows. Now, it is seemingly acceptable to harken back to tactics used in the US, oh, like Jim Crow. Now, instead we have Juan and Josefina Crow tactics--SB 1070.

There is also no coincidence that White Pride groups and Neo Nazi groups in the US have flourished since Obama's Democratic nomination. And, then add the increase of people purchasing guns and the growth of other groups--birthers, etc.

I am on a rant.
