Sheriff Joe Arpaio was back in the news last week. If you aren’t familiar with Sheriff Joe take a minute and visit the Maricopa County Arizona Sheriff’s Office web site. The Associated Press ran a hit piece on him and his work targeting illegal aliens in the area. The piece titled, “Arizona sheriff stirs furor with crackdown on illegals,” posted on Brietbart.com, takes a decidedly liberal slant on the enforcement of our laws, but I don’t suppose anyone is really surprised at that. Warner Toddy Huston gives a very insightful analysis of the article at Newsbusters.org with his piece entitled, “An Example of AP’s Bias in Favor of Illegal Immigration.”
I had heard about Sheriff Joe some months back on the radio when some talk show host was discussing crime and Sheriff Joe’s unique approach to maintaining his jail. I have often thought that we needed more people enforcing our laws like Joe, after all, if they can live better on the inside than the outside why should any criminal be concerned about getting locked up?
It should be something of a wakeup call to the liberals in office that with an approval rating of over 75%, people are liking what Joe has managed to accomplish as Sheriff of the 3rd largest county in the United States. People want to see inmates out doing hard labor, they want the punishment to actually make them think before committing more crimes in their back yards.
Why are we so concerned with the well being of the very criminals who have broken the rules of a civilized society. By breaking those rules, they have told us that they do not believe in them so why should we treat them with such deference? I think the main stream media needs to wake up and start seeing what the rest of us see, that our country is headed for trouble, and that trouble is of our own making. Let’s stop coddling criminals, there are plenty of things they can do to start repaying this society for their anti social behavior. Let’s take a page out of Joe’s playbook and start taking our cities and towns back.
But that’s just My Arrogant Opinion.
