There’s a big hubbub about Arizona’s SB 1070– the law intended to stop or slow illegal immigration. The fight isn’t over. An injunction is only a bump in the road, and Jan Brewer vows to fight to the end, the Supreme Court, if necessary.
This law makes it so that those 21 and older that wish to carry a concealed firearm now can without a permit (Daddy Govt saying it’s okay). Arizona will still require training, background checks for those who wish to still get a concealed permit to retain their right to carry if traveling to other states who honor Arizona’s permit. It of course still requires you to be carrying a legally owned firearm, and not be prohibited from owning one, etc. It’s basically a common sense change to the law reflecting Arizona’s constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms in the state. Carrying a firearm openly without a permit has been the law for some time. But, say you wore an unbuttoned, untucked shirt, and the wind blew it so it happened to cover your firearm. You could then be charged with carrying concealed without a permit– pretty absurd. This clears that up. There are a few other changes, too.
Vermont and Alaska have had this law for years, and OMG! You have heard all the horror stories right? In Vermont and Alaska, dogs started sleeping with cats. I think they ate them too. Then, it was “the Wild West” and there were shootouts, and Billy The Kid came back, then aliens came and had their ray guns and then… OMG everyone died! Twice!
Yeah.. That’s what the Brady Campaign would say happened, anyway.
The truth is.. NOTHING out of the ordinary has happened. Those who wish to carry their firearm, do; no one knows any different and nothing happens– until the bad guy strikes, and those who wish to defend themselves, CAN. The criminals will always carry their firearm concealed, despite the law. I see it on the news here in Los Angeles every damn night. States like California love their citizens to be victims. Police are only a 15 minute (if you’re lucky) call away, right? States like Arizona know that the more criminals know their victim can fight back, the more they will think twice before striking.
What is interesting, is that Arizona has large cities like Phoenix and Tucson. Such a law has never been in effect for such a large metropolitan area. I still suspect life to go on just as it has. Tomorrow morning, the beautiful desert sunrise will still come.. the cities will not have been razed by new gun crime wave, and how much are you willing to bet crime goes down?
A big TAM congratulations to Sarah Palin for surpassing 2 million fans on Facebook. Here’s a bit of the coverage and some additional media.
Conservatives4Palin have lots to say. Check their coverage for all the details, and what this means within the social media world. SarahPAC: Sarah Reaches 2 Million Fans
C4P is also launching a 2 million money bomb, and check that newish banner of theirs featuring Washington, DC and the phrase “Help Governor Palin take back America.” Hmm…
Here’s an interview with Palin you may not have heard, from one of the few newspapers in the country you can still trust, Investors Business Daily, focusing mostly on drilling, ANWR and energy independence. It’s an audio/phone interview, and as you might imagine, Palin is especially comfortable and seems in her element with the energy issue.
The general sense on Twitter is that the governor is running for president. What are your thoughts on this? I know that you know that I’m a big supporter while many TAMs have other favorites. No matter how I approach this issue and this individual I always want to make sure you’re comfortable speaking your minds about Palin as well as about your own favorite(s). I know you TAMs aren’t shy but I thought I’d mention it
What I won’t tolerate? Sudden newbie trolls or paid political staff roaming the interwebtubes commenting simply to promote their person or to bash their guy’s perceived opposition. And yes, I’ll know who you are. I’m just sayin’.
Please forgive me TAMs but I’ve been fighting a sore throat which I felt coming on in Vegas at the RightOnline conference and now there’s a bit of laryngitis creeping up. So out of an abundance of caution, I’ve decided to do the voice-rest thing tonight. It will be a very strange thing to not be saying anything to anybody, but a girl has to give that a whirl every now and then, no?
Thanks for understanding. And if this little bit of preventative medicine goes as I expect it to, I’ll see you all tomorrow on Tammy Radio Thanks.
Well, you’ve gotta hand it to him, at least he’s honest when TOTUS isn’t around feeding him his script. Barack Hussein Obama announced on The View that he considers black Americans to be “Mongrels.” Then deciding that wasn’t enough, he then labeled all Americans “Mongrels” and then explained how we also all have “reptilian brains.” He forgot to add “cowards” which is what our Attorney General labeled every American. Add to that Bitter and Clingy, and you’ve got yourself an administration that thinks all Americans, black, white and whatever, are Bitter, Clingy Coward Reptilian-Brained Mongrels.
He forgot to add “Grizzly.” I wonder why?
I think that just about explains just about everything these maniacs are doing. The question is–Are we going to let them continue?
President Obama waded into the national race debate in an unlikely setting and with an unusual choice of words: telling daytime talk show hosts that African-Americans are “sort of a mongrel people.”
When asked about his background, which includes a black father and white mother, Obama said of African-Americans: “We are sort of a mongrel people.”
“I mean we’re all kinds of mixed up,” Obama said. “That’s actually true of white people as well, but we just know more about it.” [...] Obama noted “there’s still a reptilian side of our brain” that leads people to not trust others “if somebody sounds different or looks different.”
But Obama didn’t take the bait, responding “we shouldn’t be campaigning all the time. There’s a time to campaign, and there’s a time to govern.” [...] Obama taped the interview Wednesday when he was in New York City for two Democratic National Committee fundraisers.
I think this just about sums it up.
Right out of the gate the administration made it clear what they think of us. From February of 2009, the Attorney General of the United States, Eric Holder, explaining to us that we are a Nation of Cowards.

Looking for details, stay tuned. Scroll for continued updates throughout the day.
UPDATES:
Okay, the law will go into effect Thursday night but without certain provisions. Fox reporting new law cannot make it a crime to not carry immigration papers, blocking way to determine immigration status.
The main point is you cannot create a new law that the Feds don’t have, like carrying immigration papers, an addition or change. Arizona could ask judge to stay her own ruling while they go immediate to the 9th Circuit, the most overturned circuit in America, which could happen today.
“Partial injunction” is the phrase being used. Everyone is scrambling to get exactly what is out. If there is no way for an officer to directly determine if someone is here illegally, i.e. the stopped person has no American I.D. it would make the law more difficult to apply. Arguments of “racial profiling” of course would also be used. AZ of course could also simply take everyone in who breaks the law including misdemeanors, driving without a license, etc.
“This fight is far from over. In fact, it is just the beginning, and at the end of what is certain to be a long legal struggle, Arizona will prevail in its right to protect our citizens. I am deeply grateful for the overwhelmingly support we have received from across our nation in our efforts to defend against the failures of the federal government.
“I have consulted with my legal counsel about our next steps. We will take a close look at every single element Judge Bolton removed from the law, and we will soon file an expedited appeal at the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
This is especially sweet news as we await the judge’s decision (expected today) regarding Arizona’s SB 1070, the new law scheduled to go live on Thursday. Besides the moral victory, the failure of the boycotts sends a supportive message to every other state that has signaled interest in legislation similar to Arizona’s. Keep in mind as you read this story–the boycotts not only have failed–but have had the opposite impact as we launched our commitment of support for Arizona–hotels, tourism in general and revenue for the state have all increased during the past two months. Sweet, and congratulations Patriots!
Arizona’s tourism industry has a target on its back, but the widespread boycotts over the state’s immigration law might not be hitting the mark.
Recent data compiled by a market research group show hotel bookings across the state — as well as in tourism hot spots Phoenix and Scottsdale — have been on the rise the past two months…”Fundamentally, the boycotts have been unsuccessful,” said Barry Broome, president of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council.
The data from hotel industry research firm STR showed that for the state of Arizona, hotel occupancy was up 5.7 percent in May and up 8.3 percent in June compared with the same time a year ago.
In Phoenix, occupancy was up 10.6 percent in June; in Scottsdale, it was up 10.7 percent for the same period. Revenue also was up, with Arizona hotels raking in $148 million last month — up more than 11 percent from a year ago.
So keep those vacations plans for Arizona coming! We need to send a consistent message to every state and every politician that doing the right thing regarding immigration will benefit their state.

The new Volt has been in the news.
The Chevy Dolt (I’m going to stop calling it a “Volt”, for reasons that will come clear) will cost $41,000. A Federal tax credit of $7,500 cuts the out-of-pocket expense to $33,500.
The Dolt, a 4-door sedan, runs on battery power for up to 40 [...]
Sweet. Another of the many reasons to be liking Elton John these days. I was especially impressed when he played in Tel Aviv, slamming boycotts of Israel as well.
Elton John’s choice words for boycotting musicians
Elton John didn’t mince words in slamming his fellow musicians for boycotting Arizona over the controversial SB 1070 immigration law. [...]
