53 Illegal Immigrants Held Captive in Phoenix

Where’s La Raza when illegals really need them?

Fifty-three illegal immigrants found Sunday had been held against their will in a fortified home by suspected smugglers demanding more money, authorities said.

The group of rescued immigrants included two 13-year-old girls, three women and a mentally disabled man. The rest were men, Department of Public Safety spokesman Harold Sanders said.

Authorities began investigating Saturday after getting a tip that immigrants were being held captive. Sanders said the smugglers wanted an average of $2,500 for each person’s release.

The single-family home where they were kept had been fortified to prevent escape and weapons were seized at the location. The suspected smugglers also took away the immigrants’ shoes so they couldn’t run off.

Sanders said five people, all residents of Mexico, were being jailed on charges of extortion, kidnapping, aggravated assault and human smuggling.

Authorities on the scene said the immigrants had little food and water and it was unclear how long they had been held inside the house.

“Because the undocumented aliens are held in fortified rooms and do not have access to watches, clocks, telephones, televisions, etc, so when they are interviewed, many do not have a true sense of time and whether hours, days or weeks have passed.” Sanders said.

Wait. You mean all these smugglers and “immigrants’ rights” activists have less than honorable motives for the illegals they want to come here? Really? Who would have thought that the people who want to flood America with people who would naturally be isolated and easily victimized might not have their best interests at heart?

Yet More Black Blood on White Liberals Hands!

rodney-johnson-murdered-by-illegal.jpg

At a routine traffic stop Officer Rodney Johnson was gunned down by an illegal alien who had already been deported from the country once. Juan Leonardo Quintero was deported in 2004 for Indecency with a child. He returned and was stopped by Johnson for speeding and was arrested for having no license.

Johnson missed the 9mm tucked in the waistband of Quintero’s pants during his pat down and while the unsuspecting police officer sat in the front seat of his cruiser Quintero shot the married father of five four times in the head.

Quintero has admitted to the murder, and perhaps inspired by the White liberals who claim that any person concerned with the security implications of of unchecked illegal immigration is a bigot, Quintero has stated to the authorities that officer Rodney Johnson was a racist:

As some members of Johnson’s family wept in the courtroom, Quintero said in the 17-minute videotape that he was arrested because of race and that he should have just received a ticket for speeding.

Johnson had stopped Quintero for speeding and arrested him for not having a driver’s license.

Quintero really believes that a person driving around without a license should get a ticket and not be arrested. That’s the sort of nonsense that “immigrant rights” groups fill people’s heads with. But more importantly after killing this Black man in cold blood he has the nerve to accuse the victim of his crime of being a racist in front of the man’s grieving family.

Where would he get the idea that killing a Black man and then besmirching his reputation was acceptable I wonder? You think that he’s playing the race card to gain sympathy with a certain type of “White liberal?” A group that has attacked Black folks as racists in the past in ways almost as disgusting as Quintero’s outrage?

Juan Leonardo Quintero should not have been here. He was a child molester running loose in our streets and now another Black man has paid the price for the special treatment White liberals’ new favorite minority receives. It’s open season on any of us with even a drop of Black blood in us and the White liberals and libertarians who want open borders don’t care how the Black community is affected.

The Chron has a video of Quintero’s confession. Check out the on line memorial to Officer Johnson and pay your respects.

The Real Andrew Sullivan: Tiresome Anti-Semite

Unlike many bloggers I’ve always found the antics of “excitable Andy” less amusing and more tiresome. Sullivan is a not so much a character as a caricature, a cartoonish web presence who can be counted on to hysterically denounce his so called fellow conservatives using radical leftist arguments, while all the while claiming the mantle of “true conservatism” for himself.

In a way, Sullivan is like Pat Buchanan. What both call conservatism is a combination self righteous moralizing and left-Libertarian anti-Americanism. The Christianized Stalinism that makes up Buchanan’s social conservatism is only slightly different from the armchair elitism of Sullivan. Both are deeply disdainful of the freedom of others to disagree with them and more so of the ability of others to put those opposing viewpoints in the public arena.

The knee jerk anti-Semitism both display is a sign of similar freedom hating mindsets. Sullivan’s most recent Buchananism comes in this piece critical of Bill Kristol, who had the temerity to to question Barack Obama:

But Kristol is doing something much more pernicious: he is saying that Obama is faking faith, that his very profession of faith is a “mask” that is slipping, and that Kristol is the person to determine whose faith is genuine and who is a fraud.

A non-Christian manipulator of Christianity is calling a Christian a liar about his own faith. That’s where they’ve gone to already. And it’s only the middle of April. What are they so scared of?

Ah. The pernicious Jew, who dares to question a Christian. What are “they” (Jews) so scared of anyway?

They manipulate Christians all the time. You know, behind the scenes in their secret cabals. The synagogues of Satan basically run this country, Sullivan is saying, and now they’ve turned their ritual daggers toward poor innocent Barack Obama preparing to uses his Christian blood for their Passover Matzah.

Sullivan’s comfort with the trappings of White Nationalist argument gives a glimpse into his twisted and poisoned soul. This is the real Andrew Sullivan, a tiresome anti-Semite whose bile is vomited forth on an American public slowly waking up to the fact that Sullivan is no more a conservative than David Duke is.

For a Guy Who Doesn’t Hate Jews Barack Obama Sure Has Some Strange Supporters

Barack Obama has claimed that no one has “spoken out more fiercely” than him against anti-Semitism. That being the case, why has he attracted the support of Jew-hating bigots who cannot stop themselves from attacking Jews even in public?

At a recent rally honoring Dr. Martin Luther King an Israeli-American named Daphna Ziman who runs a great charity called Children Uniting Nations was given an award by African-American fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi for her work with mentoring programs for L.A. children from broken homes.

Obama supporter and rumored A.N.S.W.E.R. activist “Reverend” Eric Lee was not pleased. His speech following the award was not only full of anti-Semitic rhetoric but he went out of his way to insult Ziman, a woman who has done more for people in need than he ever will. Here Ziman tells her story:

Sad. Stand with Us has excerpts of a letter Ms. Ziman wrote. Moderate Conservative has a theory as to the root of the problem with Black anti-Semitism. I agree, but growing up in a Black family in the 70s I’d put forward that Black Nationalism and Islam play a large part in creating this ugly bigotry.

Hot Air also points us to this story from the L.A. Times of Palestinians claiming Barack Obama is secretly a supporter of theirs. They made this claim at a anti-Semitic rally.

Odd isn’t it? Not to drag out some old arguments but isn’t it fair to ask why these people are supporters of a man who “fights fiercely” against anti-Semitism?

University of St. Thomas Run by Racists

What other explanation can there be to the college keeping celebrated author and activist Star Parker from speaking? It couldn’t have been because Parker was controversial because Al Franken and transgendered activist Debra Davis were allowed to speak and both have controversial views. The only difference between Parker and Davis and Franken is that Parker is a strong Black woman, something that threatens the White administration.

Franken himself has a history of anti-Black racism, something he’s filed lawsuits to keep from getting out, so we can suppose that by inviting him and snubbing Parker UST Vice-President of Student Affairs Jane Canney was simply trying to make the college a place where White “liberal” racists like Franken would feel comfortable.

Ann Coulter was allowed to speak, something the Young America Foundation says Canney has continued to punish them for organizing, and surprise, she’s White. It’s almost as if Canney singled out Parker for some reason. Hmmm.

Don’t get me wrong, I think Canney would definitely let some black people speak there. Blacks who dance to her tune, or maybe Blacks who blurt out nonsense, but she’s threatened by a Black woman who is intelligent, articulate and won’t regurgitate White “liberals” neo-Marxist pablum.

Star Parker is a woman who preaches self-reliance to the Black community and talks about traditional Black Christian morality which includes a pro-life message. She doesn’t fit into Jane Canney’s view of what a Black person should be like. Like all racists she won’t accept the idea that a Black woman has the right to make statements she doesn’t like, that’s why she won’t let her speak.

The Young America Foundation has more.

Update: St. Thomas caves! Not only racists but they have no backbone.
