You ROCK, Sheriff Joe!

By John Lillpop

Notwithstanding the mind boggling insanity coming from Washington, D.C. and other fortresses of liberalism gone amuck, there is a shining light, a beacon of hope for those of us who believe in rule of law, American sovereignty, and the Constitution.

That light emanates from the personage of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio who, despite being publicly castigated by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, faces no shortage of courage or testosterone when it comes to doing his job.

"SURPRISE, Ariz. - An Arizona sheriff known for cracking down on people who are in the country illegally launched a crime and immigration sweep in northwestern metro Phoenix on Friday, a half day after officials in Washington limited his powers to make federal immigration arrests.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose sweeps have led to allegations of racial profiling, said the rebuff from Washington won't stop him. He said he can still arrest immigrants under a state smuggling law and a federal law that gives all local police agencies more limited power to detain suspected illegal immigrants.

'It doesn't bother me, because we are going to do the same thing,' said Arpaio, whose deputies had arrested 16 people by Friday evening on unspecified charges. 'I am the elected sheriff. I don't take orders from the federal government.'"

From Sheriff Joe's lips to the ears of God!

Take that Janet Napolitano, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and all of the other left-wing nut balls who are intent on destroying America!

Which brings up an important question: How do you say, "You ROCK, Sheriff Joe," in Spanish?

John Lillpop is a recovering liberal, 'clean and sober' since 1992 when last he voted for a Democrat. Pray for John: He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, where people like Nancy Pelosi are considered reasonable! Writing is his passion. He loves creating lively copy with irony and humor!
