Yes, you guessed it Arizona (sic)."<br /><br />If by "they" you mean the people of Arizona, well, they didn't want an MLK Day because it wouldn't BE a holiday for most of them. Most people aren't government employees who get every holiday off. And it only replaced an existing holiday (Washington's birthday) so it was not the creation of a whole new holiday, even for government employees. Secondly, they may have reasoned that MLK does not deserve a holiday, as indeed, he does not.<br /><br />But indeed, "Montana", there is no reason to expect your command of facts, which is poor, or your reasoning, which is worse, to be any better than your execrable spelling and grammar.<br /><br />Both you and "Dogmeat" have set new standards for ignorability. In future, I'll look for your screen names, and if I should see them, I'll just pass over what comes after.Martin Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-73137126180543204282010-06-22T17:46:39.509-10:002010-06-22T17:46:39.509-10:00Did Montana eat Dogmeat and regurgitate or was it ...Did Montana eat Dogmeat and regurgitate or was it reversed?

Texas has a higher background level of crazy and right now Arizona is like a supernova taking the attention. I wonder how long it will last.<br />Actually it isn't that strange. Arizona has been moving gradually towards the middle over the last twenty years. The population has doubled in that time and a big part of that spike wasn't old retirees who tended to be conservative, but a lot of younger families moving from blue states, etc. In 2008 McCain only received 53.4% of the vote here in Arizona, his sixth lowest vote total among the states he won. Now think about that, his home state was one of his least supportive states. Had McCain been from Texas, Florida, etc., he likely would have lost Arizona.<br /><br />This state has a long history of very conservative, often racist politics and the supporters of those policies aren't happy that they are consistently losing ground to moderates and liberals (simply termed as liberals in their tirades). Because of how the state legislature is set up conservatives still have a major majority in both houses but, when Napolitano was governor, she vetoed a lot of their stupidity. In fact she set the record for vetoes in the history of the state. You take her away, bring in Brewer who is a wing-nut's wing-nut, and you see incredibly stupid legislation that was shut down by a reasonable governor make it out of the state house. At the same time you see an increase in non-conservative population as well as an increase in non-white population and the far white err, right is freaking out.Dogmeatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-47275602276352909762010-06-21T18:20:15.594-10:002010-06-21T18:20:15.594-10:00Montana,

Incidentally, governors do not make laws; that's what legislators are for. So presumably quite a few Arizonans approved them.<br /><br />As for the rest, I hope you feel better now.Rick Darbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02371910140619422820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-85282772613495226432010-06-21T13:02:18.246-10:002010-06-21T13:02:18.246-10:00The Tea Bag Party are just “haters not debaters” o...The Tea Bag Party are just “haters not debaters” or as others have dubbed them “screamers not dreamers”, with their failed attempts at stopping Healthcare reform, they say they respect the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence but they do not mind passing laws, through weak Governors (no one voted for this crazy) who only cares about getting elected Governor, on the backs of undocumented workers, that will not pass Constitution muster.<br /><br />Brewer signed into law;<br /><br />1. S.B. 1070,<br />2. No permit conceal weapons law,<br />3. The famous Birthers law,<br />4. Banning Ethnic studies law, <br /><br />5.

The boycotted Martin Luther King Day, what idiots don’t want another holiday? Yes, you guessed it Arizona.<br /><br />Well Arizona, you can boycott new holidays and keep passing crazy laws and the rest of us will continue to challenged them in a court of law and continue to add cities to our Boycott of your state.<br /><br />I real cannot believe anything that comes out of Brewer’s mouth, in an interview she first said her father had died in Germany fighting the Nazi in World War II (war ended 1945) but of course we find out the truth that father was never in Germany and died in California in 1955. But we are suppose to believe everything else she says, right! No one voted for you for Governor, yet you keep listening to the tiny brains of the crazies and signing into law everything that comes into their feeble minds, it only make you look dumb, stupid or racist, or maybe all three.<br /><br />As for the Tea Bag Party, their phony patriotism is sickening; they are just racists going by another name. We all know you are just itching to put a sheet on their head? Let’s face it the Republicans had eight years to deal with health care, immigration, energy (remember Cheney’s secret meetings with oil companies where loosening regulation and oversight were sealed), climate change and financial oversight and governance and they failed. It appears that the Republican Party is only good at starting wars (two in eight years, with fat contracts to friends of Cheney/Bush) but not at winning wars as seen by the continuing line of body bags that keep coming home. The Republicans party will continue turned inward to their old fashion obstructionist party (and their Confederacy appreciation roots) because they continue to allow a small portions (but very loud portion) of their party of “birthers, baggers and blowhards” to rule their party. I will admit that this fringe is very good at playing “Follow the Leader” by listening to their dullard leaders, Beck, Hedgecock, Hannity, O’Reilly, Rush, Savage, Sarah Bailin, Orly Taitz, Victoria Jackson, Michele Bachmann and the rest of the Blowhards and acting as ill programmed robots (they have already acted against doctors that perform abortions).Montananoreply@blogger.com
