Of course, since the real Sheriff Joe is tough as nails on crime and illegal aliens, he is called “controversial.” Except, there is one problem with why he was sued: it wasn’t for supposed discrimination The U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday sued a controversial and popular Arizona sheriff, alleging that his department was refusing

Obama And Holder Sue Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Painful to watch is putting it mildly. Gov. Jan Brewer told KTAR radio in Phoenix that her debate blackout was “not the finest hour. It was the longest 16 seconds of my life.” Tammy Bruce comments on it: ” AZ Gov. Brewer’s Moment of Silence .” Personally, we all freeze sometimes. Brewer screwed up, sure. Maybe she wasn’t feeling well. Maybe she was just overcome by the moment, but these things count in politics, and that makes thorough preparation and readiness all the more important. She’ll no doubt be seeing her 16-second freeze in attack ads, but she can hold herself high nevertheless for having a brief episode of human frailty. It’s how we learn.

The ACLU is “urging” the HOA to “adopt a less limited interpretation of their statute.” Yes, I know – amazing! Andy C. McDonel and the Gadsen Don’t Tread on Me Flag Andy C. McDonel said

Joe Arpaio: Why is Obama administration suing an outspoken Arizona sheriff?
(The Christian Science Monitor)
In Invasion , published eight years ago, I pointed out that the Bush administration’s lame immigration enforcement measures included orange rubber cones and useless “No Entry” signs posted at the border. Well, file this under “The more things change.” The Washington Times reports that the Obama administration is posting new signs at the border warning travelers and illegal aliens about violent smugglers. The federal government has posted signs along a major interstate highway in Arizona, more than 100 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, warning travelers the area is unsafe because of drug and alien smugglers, and a local sheriff says Mexican drug cartels now control some parts of the state. The signs were posted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) along a 60-mile stretch of Interstate 8 between Casa Grande and Gila Bend, a major east-west corridor linking Tucson and Phoenix with San Diego. They warn travelers that they are entering an “active drug and human smuggling area” and they may encounter “armed criminals and smuggling vehicles traveling at high rates of speed.” Beginning less than 50 miles south of Phoenix, the signs encourage travelers to “use public lands north of Interstate 8″ and to call 911 if they “see suspicious activity.” As Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer noted earlier this summer, the signs are empty gestures without real physical deterrents to back them up: And why bother calling 911 when you know DHS/ICE is backing off deportations? Don’t let the White House spin on illegal alien statistics distract you. The bipartisan open-borders end game is amnesty . Always has been. Always will be. *** GOP Rep. Gus Bilirakis: If the administration would take meaningful steps to secure our border, it wouldn’t need to put up signs in Arizona warning citizens that travel 100 miles from the border is unsafe (“Signs in Arizona warn of smuggler dangers”). Likewise, the Department of Homeland Security should not spend its time writing memos about how to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants or dismiss thousands of deportation cases. As Ranking Member of the Homeland Security Committee’s Subcommittee on Management, Investigations and Oversight, that is why I’m asking for hearings and answers from DHS on what it’s doing to protect the border. The administration continues to take actions that seem counterproductive to border security, and we need to know why that is the case. We need to make sure DHS is complying with, and enforcing, our nation’s immigration laws.
