Obama Takes On Sheriff Joe

President Obama and the liberals in Washington are looking for something, anything, to help turn their fortunes around. Things are not looking good at all with November just over the next hill and the American public sharpening pitch forks and lighting torches.

Picture a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off; that’s the liberal power structure right now. They are banging off walls and in a panic not realizing that their fate, baring some grand scam of an October Surprise, is sealed.

When liberals are in this type of situation they revert to their old, tattered play book. They scare old people over Social Security (which they ruined faster than it was set to ruin itself through simple economics), they scare the poor over Welfare (which was never Constitutional and unsustainable), and they turn to the immigration issue.

Yes, President Obama’s minions are on the march and they are targeting Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a folk hero to Americans who actually understand why illegal immigration is bad and why illegal immigrants need to be rounded up. On Thursday the U.S. Justice Department filed suit against Sheriff Joe claiming, as the Associated Press reports:
Arpaio and his office’s defiance “unprecedented,” and said the federal government has been trying since March 2009 to get officials to comply with its probe of alleged discrimination, unconstitutional searches and seizures, and having English-only policies in his jails that discriminates against people with limited English skills.

Let’s get everything sorted out here. Black Panthers threatening voters at the polls = OK. Taking care of illegal immigrants = NOT OK. Got it.

The Obama White House and Sheriff Joe have been clashing since the President assumed the office. In 2009 the government took away Arpaio’s power to enforce federal immigration law. But Sheriff Joe kept on going under Arizona laws. This defiance of the ruling elites in Washington has lead to this latest action.
The Obama Administration is not amused by Sheriff Joe who has proven very effective in dealing with not only illegal aliens but also criminals of all flavors. From pink underwear to pedal bikes to generate electricity for television viewing, Sheriff Joe has opened what liberal panty wastes would consider a torturous “House of Horrors!”

Sheriff Joe is of course someone who understands that if you are looking for illegals you go where the illegals are. That would be mostly Latino neighborhoods because, DUH, in Arizona most illegals are Hispanics. His department regularly sweeps these areas and actually turns up more illegal aliens than more PC jurisdictions by a wide margin. Go figure huh?

Certainly the supporters of illegal aliens are upset over this. But that is just tough cookies for them.
The Justice Department is fishing for a scalp here because they have been sent on that expedition by an administration that needs to get their standard voting block riled up before a tsunami sweeps over the land in a few weeks. And they are hoping that trying to take on Sheriff Joe will get feet to the polls.

Mr. Arpaio however has proven very resilient over the years. He has been attack and battered by the left for quite a while and is still standing. Hopefully he will be just as strong against the big dog of Obama who is now throwing his weight around to try and topple him from his perch.
