Foxman: Don't toss around the word “Nazi”

The claim of this article/author is that comparing the U.S. to Germany just isn’t right. With the whole immigration laws in effect in Arizona people are comparing Brewer to a modern day Hitler and we’re soon going to have a holocaust. It does seem like it because they’re trying to belittle and segregate people out of their state and it’s just cruel. The evidence is that a lot of people are writing and making videos comparing Hitler to Obama and to the state of Arizona. We do have the freedom of speech but I think it should be something that is put out there so we can avoid getting to that point. We do not want to follow in their footsteps because it will destroy our country and start wars with other countries. The author s’ concern is that people are making crazy comparisons and shouldn’t be doing so. He believes that we should fight back to try to avoid the laws to spread or get more powerful. He states that this should not delegitimize the millions of people who died in the holocaust.

People make everything a comparison to Hitler because Obama is trying to improve our country, they should be happy that he’s doing something. Not everyone is going to agree with everything the president is doing. If it doesn’t affect you then don’t bother it and let it be. The audience is everyone in the U.S., to inform people that if you want to avoid this problem then speak up for yourself and do something, if not then just let things be. A lot of people are just using this to get fame online and make funny jokes; this is real life with real people they should stop.

I agree with you, I think that it’s a ridiculous law and does violate our fourth amendment. To me as well it hits close to home, so of course I’m against it. I have friends and family that are here illegally and that pay cash for everything nor use welfare and what not to survive. They’re denied credit so they don’t have outstanding bills they can only pay cash which most Americans including myself cannot do. They work really hard to do for their families and you sometimes I see other illegal’s driving in brand new cars that Americans can’t even afford. Well they might say it’s because they don’t have to pay taxes and what not, but if the government gave them citizenship then they would have to pay them and maybe spruce up our economy. It’s kind of messed up because the Americans took this land from the Indians or whoever and was illegal to them but now it’s different, it doesn’t make sense. I know that some may think that it’s for our security; well they should put them in our systems, give them our rights, and enforce consequences and laws on them as they do us.

Some come to America so that they can make money to send back home for their unfortunate family back home. They’re just trying to make a better life for themselves (the land of opportunity) and sacrificed their lives to get here. They didn’t just do it to do it. I know that there are some bad immigrants but as they do now they should just deport them back for acting up in another country which is reasonable. If you come to a country you come to better yourself not to create conflict. To me everyone is an immigrant to this land and they need to accept people for what they’re trying to do.

This racial profiling should not be happening it is a violation of our rights as U.S. citizens and I would be very offended if I were profiled incorrectly or profiled at all. There needs to be national law to overrule the state law in this case. It’s going to spread and other states are going to follow Arizona and the fight will get bigger. It’s something that doesn’t need to happen and Congress should get to work and find a way to handle this situation differently (constitutionally).

I can go on forever on this topic and I think I got a little bit off course, sorry.

Blog Stage #7: Senators moving forward with climate change bill

I believe that this energy bill will do well and get a lot of peoples support. While the things that are currently happening we’re already looking for ways to prevent these things from happening. The oil spill is very huge and with the bill passed we will be able to find ways to make our cleanup time faster and new procedures to keep things like this from happening. Sen. Lindsey Graham thinks that these past events including the immigration laws in Arizona would make us not focus on an energy bill. To me it would and I think that everyone else should to; we need to bring our country back up after this recession and be on top again.

These events threaten our government, safety, and our environment so we need to act on this as soon as possible. The Democrats strongly believe that this legislation can get passed even though the Republican Senator doesn’t think so. “We're also at a time of the year in which gas prices traditionally go up, which I think will be a very public impetus for getting an energy bill done," Gibbs said. I think this is a very good time to try to get support and pass this legislation because of the consequences of our actions to the environment and security. We can just sit back and let things fall as they may or do something and tighten our fists and get a grip on this situation. We may not see results as fast as we want them but just know that this will help our kids and grandchildren in the future. I’m for sure that in the future, the way technology is going, it will get tougher and tougher to control. We should start now and hope for a better future.
