Obama: Against Concealed Weapons
April 7, 2008
This hasn’t made many headlines yet, but Sen. Barack Obama said, “I am not in favor of concealed weapons. I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations.”
Wow. That seems like a blatant liberal anti-gun position. Naturally, the media is absent on this.
It’s even more ironic because Politico is running a story today, Obama aims for pro-gun vote.
From the article:
Barack Obama did not hunt or fish as a child. He lives in a big city. And as an Illinois state legislator and a U.S. senator, he consistently backed gun control legislation.
But he is nevertheless making a play for pro-gun voters in rural Pennsylvania.
By highlighting his background in constitutional law and downplaying his voting record, Obama is engaging in a quiet but targeted drive to win over an important constituency that on the surface might seem hostile to his views.
The need to craft a strategy aimed at pro-gun voters underscores the potency of the issue in Pennsylvania, which claims one of the nation’s highest per capita membership rates in the National Rifle Association.
So which is it Barack?
San Fran: A city for illegals
April 7, 2008
San Francisco has long been the most liberal city in America. They have openly promoted gay marriages and have welcome people from all walks of life on their city. Now, the city by the bay has announced plans to spend $83,000 on an advertising campaign promoting city services for illegal immigrants.
The ads will run in English, Spanish, Chinese Vietnamese a Russian. From the San Francisco Chronicle:
City officials on Wednesday unveiled the $83,000 ad campaign, which features images of smiling residents and the iconic city skyline and spreads the message in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Russian. Brochures, which will be handed out in public buildings like police stations and hospitals, promise safe access to city services for the undocumented and a don’t-ask-don’t-tell policy when it comes residency status.
Mayor Gavin Newsom said, “We are standing up to say to all of our residents: We don’t care what your status is. We care that you, as a human being, are a resident of our city and we want you to participate in the life of our city.”
San Francisco Supervisor Tom Ammiano said, “We’re taking a big bite of the reality sandwich in admitting that there are people who live here who may or may not have citizen status.”
The city by the bay declared themselves a sanctuary city in 1989. Since then they have openly promoted illegal immigration. A policy doesn’t allow city employees to cooperate with federal authorities such as ICE in any immigration investigation. Now, the openly tell illegal immigrants they won’t ask about your immigration status if you come in for services. Isn’t San Fran aiding and abetting? In August, San Fran will hand out municipal ID cards to everyone–including illegal immigrants–so everyone can receive city services.
It gets even better. San Francisco has a $338 million dollar budget shortfall. Somehow though they have money to promote city services for all.
Sheriff Joe: I Arrest Everybody!

Arpaio: No Racial Profiling
Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s crackdown on illegal immigration may have only just begun in the East Valley, with last week’s patrols in the town of Guadalupe.State lawmakers from the East Valley, led by Rep. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, have sent the sheriff a letter inviting him to their district, and Arpaio said Mesa might be next on his list.Arpaio said he is not bothered by accusations of racial profiling that have come from protesters of his special patrols at two Phoenix locations where day laborers gather and in Guadalupe.
“We got other enforcement that we are doing, not just illegal immigration,” he said. “That’s just a small part of our operation… We stop everybody. I’m an equal opportunity guy. I lock up everybody.”
Arpaio said he was not surprised to learn that he has the backing of Matthew Allen, the newly-named head of of the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency in Arizona. Allen said Arpaio’s sweeps do not violate his agreement with the feds.
“We know,” the sheriff said. “We’ve been doing this for a year, this is our year anniversary. We know how to operate, regardless of all our critics.”
One of those critics has been Phoenix Police Chief Jack Harris, whom Arpaio has accused of dragging his feet on signing a new police policy that would allow Phoenix officers to call ICE when they encounter a criminal suspect who appears to be an illegal immigrant.
Asked about Arpaio’s claims, Harris said, “My comment is there’s just no comment.”
Harris said the new procedures “have been finalized, and they will be due out within the next few weeks.”
Arpaio responded, “That’s great. Then he’ll be able to assist me more in enforcing the illegal immigration laws in the City of Phoenix.”
