Making Even Double Standards Wince

Let me see if I’ve got this right.
If Arizona decides to mirror existing Federal law and require immigrants to show ID, then it’s incipient apartheid at worst and undermines “basic notions of fairness” at best.
But flying Hellfire-missile capable Predator drones along the Texas border is hunky-dory.
I’ve got that right, yes?
I discovered a while ago,that expecting everything the Government does is the exact opposite of what they say it is usually puts me in a place were I am ahead of the game. No matter what they do I am ready for it.
BUT… a bunch of guys peacefully carrying firearms around the border, possibly using cell phones to inform the Border Patrol about illegals crossing – that’s EVIL RIGHTWING VIGILANTISM.
I think J-Nap may be trying to set up some sort of air superiority over Texas, just in case the Insurgent Evangelicals get out of hand.
#2@pcbyers,
I’ll expect Texas duck hunters to use such a situation as a warm up for duck season. Or wabbit season.
I think the more apt comparison is:
Implimenting the law in a way that might work = bad/apartheid/Nazi Germany/whatever scare phrase the left is using this week.
Using drones that will not work, cannot ever work and which has missiles no one will ever use and which divert money from much needed agents: hunky dory, fantabulous and allowing Obama to claim he’s on it while not having to, ya know, actually stop illegal immigrants entering.
I feel better already. Don’t you?
