A conversation with Senator Rebecca Rios<br />June 16, 2010 <br />By Ken Silverstein<br />The Washington Man for Harper's Magazine<br /><br /><br />http://harpers.org/archive/2010/06/hbc-90007237<br /><br /><br />Some excerpts :<br /><br />I have a piece in the July issue of the magazine (not yet available online) about the political looniness in the state of Arizona, which goes well beyond the issue of immigration. Arizona, I note, is essentially bankrupt; if it were a business it would be declared insolvent and put in receivership. In May, voters approved a ballot measure that temporarily raised the state sales tax to bring in $1 billion. That averted an immediate budget collapse but provided no long-term solution to the crisis.<br /><br />There are multiple causes for the mess in Arizona, including the fact that the legislature is composed almost entirely of dimwits, racists, and cranks. State lawmakers turned racial profiling into official policy, through a law that requires police to stop suspected illegal immigrants and demand to see their papers. The Senate passed a bill to ban the funding of any ethnic-studies programs at state universities, as well as one to prohibit “intentionally or knowingly creating a human-animal hybrid.” <br /><br />And as the state’s economy teetered on the brink of collapse earlier this year, lawmakers took time out from their primary pastime — slashing social spending — to reduce what Eagle Scouts paid for fishing license fees, declared a Boy Scout holiday, and granted a constitutional right to vote.<br /><br />There are a dwindling few voices of reason in the legislature, among them Democratic Senator Rebecca Rios, the assistant minority leader. I interviewed her when I was in Arizona last February and recently updated that conversation by phone. Below are excerpts from our conversations about the situation in Arizona.<br /><br /><br /><b>Youth, Minorities, Demography and Politics :</b><br /><br /><a href="http://milenials.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><strong>Milenials.com</strong></a><br /><br />Vicente DuqueDefensores de Democraciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990488344886411353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-57287097199359784882010-06-21T09:30:43.787-05:002010-06-21T09:30:43.787-05:00The ( Political ) Responsibility of Jan Brewer bef...<b>The ( Political ) Responsibility of Jan Brewer before a Court of History - Thoughts about Human Cowardice, Imbecility, Threats, Thugs, Bullies, Scoundrels, Criminals, Mafiosi, Delinquents, Thieves, etc ....</b><br /><br /><br />Who is Jan Brewer ?<br /><br /><br />I have had a lot of problems with criminals and delinquents. Nothing related to Race and Racism.<br /><br /> <br />Corrupt Politicians support Criminals : I have seen that !<br /><br />My experiences with people that throw death threats against me, and that shoot against me, has given me some insights :<br /><br />The Criminal has hundreds of false witnesses giving testimony.<br /><br />On behalf of the Honest and Decent Person nobody wants to go to a court or District Attorney.<br /><br />Why ???<br /><br />Because most People are mostly and naturally cowards and fools - They fear losing their lives or something else with the criminals. They act out of fear for the bad guy, they want to live in peace without annoyances, without bothering for JUSTICE.<br /><br />On the other had, nothing is gained by supporting the Nice, Kind and Decent Person. Nothing is gained and a lot can be lost.<br /><br />The problem with Jan Brewer is that she is a COWARD, OPPORTUNIST, BIGOTED and FOOL.<br /><br />She is like the people that act because of FEAR of displeasing the mafiosi, the murderers, the thieves, the bullies.<br /><br />Like the NAZIS of J. T. Ready, a guy that is clearly a Nazi, with Swastikas in Big Flags, with Totenkopfs, with SS Murderous Symbols, with a Bullhorn ( of J. T. Ready ) that has a figure of Hitler. J. T. parades under humongous flags with a Big Swastika.<br /><br />"AMERIKA for Whites" - "We defend the White Race" - "We are Pro White" - "Obama is Racist" - "Obamongo is a Racist Criminal" - "They ( the lower races or "coloreds" ) are stealing our country" - Look at the many videos in YouTube.com of the Arizona Nazis, listen to their racist rants and proclamations. ... I have posted some of them, not all, because there are many.<br /><br />And Russell Pearce is very intimate with J. T. Ready, many photos of embraces, videos of Russell Pearce applauding J. T. Ready, etc ...<br /><br />J. T. Ready also organizes "Hunting Parties" of his Nazis in the Border Lands in which the "Red Fox" are the Latinos. Minutemen style, the same minutemen that killed Beautiful Child Brisenia Flores, ( age 9 ) and her father Raul in a home invasion in Arizona in May 2009.<br /><br />Jan Brewer is ( Politically ) responsible for the murders that are occurring everyday and those that come very soon.<br /><br />She will never be taken to court on a Civil Case or a Penal Case, but the Court of History is unforgiving, this Court has no Leniency and is impervious and impenetrable to dirty tricks and blather.<br /><br />She and the Coward and Scoundrel Republicans of Arizona may have lots of short gains and immediate satisfactions winning elections, but on the long run, Jan Brewer will be a zero to the left.<br /><br /><b>Youth, Minorities, Demography and Politics :</b><br /><br /><a href="http://milenials.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><strong>Milenials.com</strong></a><br /><br />Vicente DuqueDefensores de Democraciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990488344886411353noreply@blogger.com
