I Demur
By Steve Farrell
Emily Dickinson spoke to her time as well as ours when she penned this penetrating line:
But why? Because Arizona as one rose up and essentially said, 'We refuse to continue to assent to a long train of willful neglect by Washington elites (in both parties) who have spit on existing federal immigration law; and this too, spit on the rights of Arizonans and every American by looking the other way as millions of illegal immigrants from one of the most corrupt nations on earth have invaded and done their worst: raped, robbed, murdered, addicted, or otherwise exploited loyal Arizonans ... and then handed us the bill as if this was some sort of entitlement.'
Why should any sane and true Arizonans or any sane and true American assent to that? Which begs the question, who is really the "insane" and "straightway dangerous" party here?
I suggest the following answer: The cabal in DC, and any who by their voice, their silence, their trembling cowardice, or their party loyalty continue to assent to this Administration's agenda of "change."
Personally, and let me put this on the record for all the world to see: "I Demur!"

Emily Dickinson spoke to her time as well as ours when she penned this penetrating line:
-
Assent — and you are sane —
Demur — you're straightway dangerous
And handled with a chain.
But why? Because Arizona as one rose up and essentially said, 'We refuse to continue to assent to a long train of willful neglect by Washington elites (in both parties) who have spit on existing federal immigration law; and this too, spit on the rights of Arizonans and every American by looking the other way as millions of illegal immigrants from one of the most corrupt nations on earth have invaded and done their worst: raped, robbed, murdered, addicted, or otherwise exploited loyal Arizonans ... and then handed us the bill as if this was some sort of entitlement.'
Why should any sane and true Arizonans or any sane and true American assent to that? Which begs the question, who is really the "insane" and "straightway dangerous" party here?
I suggest the following answer: The cabal in DC, and any who by their voice, their silence, their trembling cowardice, or their party loyalty continue to assent to this Administration's agenda of "change."
