Ideology versus Competence

Sorry Canada, its going to be a long four years. In an article called "The Border for Dummies" Canada's National Post asks a salient question:

"Can someone please tell us how U. S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano got her job?"

I think I can offer some enlightenment. You see, Janet is an ideologue. She is the kind of person who will pursue ideological goals without regard for truth, a person who can be expected to reinvent reality to fit the ideological vision of the administration, which she does with abandon.

When asked about Arizona's Maricopa County Sheriff, Joe Arpaio's policy of actually enforcing immigration laws she had this to say:

"And yes, when we find illegal workers, yes, appropriate action, some of which is criminal, most of that is civil, because crossing the border is not a crime per se. It is civil..."

Since when is it not a crime to illegally enter the US?

Sheriff Arpaio, by all accounts an effective and popular law enforcement officer, is ignoring more serious crimes to pursue illegals? A national cabinet member criticizing an honorable local law enforcement official and accusing him of criminal dereliction of duty is stunning.

Incredible comments, incomprehensible logic, borne of the talking points from the Obama-La Raza disinformation machine.

It gets worse...
