Re: Gavin Newsom bans San Francisco Workes to travel to Arizona b/c of Immigration La
When I get pulled over, the first thing asked for is my license, registration and proof of insurance. Why? B/c it's an easy and legal way to vet legal drivers committing a violation vs. illegal drivers committing a crime (driving w/suspended license or without insurance or something). Why am I asked for my ID every time I buy a beer? I'm 32 years old! But I still have to show ID, or I don't get served and could be blacklisted from bars for trying to buy without ID.
Why is it a problem to have to show someone proof of (insert whatever you want here...proof of gun ownership, proof of driving status, proof of being 21, proof of identity)? It seems a lot like gun registration...the ones who are clean don't have anything to fear registering their weapon.
Funny how the Nationalist Socialist Workers' Party came from a bunch of thugs running amok b/c there wasn't any authority to stop them at the time. It was illegal in Weimar Republic to beat up other candidates, but the Brownshirts got away with it b/c they threatened violence and riots if the law was enforced. It was illegal to influence voters at the voting booths, but no one stopped the Brownshirts b/c there would be violence and rioting from a large number of thugs. Today, it's illegal to be in this country without authorization and documentation, but people (not just Mexicans in AZ) get away with it b/c they threaten violence and riots and thuggery if the law is attempted to be enforced.
Additionally, Hitler got his powers by ensuring through thuggery that his henchmen were elected, and then having his henchmen vote for supreme powers for the Chancellor/President, including the ability to perform unconstitutional acts and pass legislation (like, say, the Nuremburg Anti-Semitism Laws). Today, the government has the ability through two branches (Congress and the Presidency) to pass legislation the President wants passed even if he gets voted out for doing so:
“I don’t know that I’ve specifically heard him on health care,” said Gibbs, “but I have heard the president say that if making tough decisions in getting important things done that Washington has failed to do for decades means that he only lives in this house and makes those decisions for four years, he’s quite comfortable,” Gibbs told reporters at the White House press briefing.
“The way he approaches this issue, the economy, Afghanistan and Iraq, any of these issues is not in a mode of self preservation, but in a mode of how best -- given all the information out there-- how best to make decisions that he thinks is in the best interest of the American people, not what’s in the best interest of his personal career,” Gibbs said.
I find it laughable that most of the people screaming "Nazi! Nazi!" have little to no idea what National Socialism is, or how Hitler came to power, or are unconcerned, b/c the rise of Obama from 2006 to today is a lot closer to the Rise of the Third Reich 1930-35 than the Tea Partiers or Arizona governors are.
The writers of SNL who did that "show us your papers' Nazi business overlooked a major point, one that I wonder why it hasn't been brought up before. The "Nazi" use of "show us your papers" meant that if you were Jewish, and got stopped by the Gestapo and found to have Jewish origin, you were sent to a concentration camp. It's not like today, where if you have papers you're following the law and if you don't you just get sent back to your own country. I'm not even Jewish, and I find it mildly offensive that uneducated hacks are spending more time tossing around names they think will influence public opinion than reading a book or two and seeing that they're going down a road much closer to the Nationalist Socialists than someone trying to enforce a federal law at a state level.
