With the announcement of each new boycott of Arizona companies (such as the one just approved by L.A. County), I wonder if the Legion of the Outraged has thought this through completely.
If, somehow, these boycotts manage to have an actual economic impact on Arizona businesses, just who do they think will lose their jobs first? Wouldn't it be the lower-income employees?
Even if the middle- and upper-class somehow got hit first, their ensuing decrease in economic activity would affect... who?
I cannot escape the conclusion that those who purport to champion the cause of Hispanics in Arizona secretly hate them.

I hope that every American, regardless of where he lives, will stop and examine his conscience about this and other related incidents. This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened. All of us ought to have the right to be treated as he would wish to be treated, as one would wish his children to be treated, but this is not the case.
I know the proponents of this law say that the majority approves of this law, but the majority is not always right. Would women or non-whites have the vote if we listen to the majority of the day, would the non-whites have equal rights (and equal access to churches, housing, restaurants, hotels, retail stores, schools, colleges and yes water fountains) if we listen to the majority of the day? We all know the answer, a resounding, NO!
Today we are committed to a worldwide struggle to promote and protect the rights of all who wish to be free. In a time of domestic crisis men of good will and generosity should be able to unite regardless of party or politics and do what is right, not what is just popular with the majority. Some men comprehend discrimination by never have experiencing it in their lives, but the majority will only understand after it happens to them.
Hello, Benito. Your response came quickly, just 5 minutes after I posted. Such a deep, thoughtful reply! It's obvious that you pondered my words long and hard in those five minutes.
Except, of course, for the fact that you probably didn't even read what I posted.
You've been trolling the blogs from a computer in the Palomar Community College domain, doing a keyword search on blogs mentioning "Arizona", and then pasting your screed on every post you find, regardless of the actual point being made in the blog post.
Let's make a deal: I'll read your post if you'll read mine.
“All Men are created equal”! The founders had it right, when attempting to form a perfect union and they also knew that they were not there yet but knew we one day would get there. Lincoln moved us forward as did JFK and LBJ. This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.
It is my contention that this AZ law is not constitutional and will fail when challenged (unless, of course, they keep adding more amendments), pretty funny for this so called perfect law, that many bloggers claim was copied from the Federal law, sure it was, then why the amendments?
As for the undocumented workers, as was attributed to Ronald Reagan “It’s the Economy, Stupid”. When the economy is good we say let’s all celebrate “Cinco de Mayo, my brothers” but when the economy is down “it’s all your fault, you damn immigrant”. This too will pass. The real problem is the narcosis/drug and people smuggler that’s what the focus should be on.
Don’t you find it funny that no one ever voted for Brewer for Governor, it’s all about politics and getting elected, do not be fooled. Busy Brewer has passed S.B. 1070, no permit conceal weapons law, the famous Birthers law, banning Ethic studies law, and if history is a lesson she should look up Arizona’s House Bill 2779 from two years ago (which failed when legally challenged) and the craziest one the boycotted Martin Luther King Day, not wanting another holiday, how crazy is that. I believe there is an undercurrent to their enactment of new laws, they real love following a distinct pattern. Poor Brewer, she had a bad week, first she said her Dad had died in Germany fighting the Nazi and we find out he never was a soldier, in Germany and died in California and then she went to Washington and came back empty as always, poor dear.
COME ON, BENITO! Stop doing cut-and-paste comments!
Again I say: I'll read (and comment on) your post if you'll read (and comment on) mine.
