Obama & Groveton – Birds of a Feather…

The Obama Administration today announced that it would send 1,200 troops to help secure America’s southern border. President Obama will also spend an additional half a billion dollars on the effort. Opinions vary as to why President Obama is taking this action. Some say Republicans from the Southwest forced his hand. Other say that Democratic Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) asked for the troops. Many believe that President Obama is a regular visitor to Bacons Rebellion and has seen the wisdom of trying to seal the border after reading my article earlier this week. Finally, there are a few commentators on this site who know that anybody seeking to secure the border is a racist and must, therefore, conclude that President Obama has suddenly become a racist himself.

You can read an article about this decision here.

Racism seems to be getting contagious. Some who blog on this site have gone to great lengths to establish that anybody who “conflates” border security with law enforcement actions against terrorists or drug dealers is a racist. Well, it seems that the Democratic representative from Arizona, Ms. Giffords, has also suddenly become a racist. Here’s an important sentence from the article, “Arizona Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords said the situation on the ground now is different from when Bush deployed the Guard. Arrests have fallen in the Arizona sector and there’ve been record drug seizures.”.

If that isn’t enough, here’s another point from Rep. Giffords, “She said the border is more violent and law enforcement is outgunned. She and other lawmakers want the troops to be armed — they were not in the previous deployment. She said the U.S. needs to “spend what it takes” to secure its border with Mexico.”.

In a real stunner, it appears that our racist president forgot to order any troops to the Canadian border.
