Just a question I haven't heard anybody ask: Shouldn't the tea party crowd be having a cow over this new immigration bill that Arizona just passed? Doesn't that sound like big government tyranny to them? Giving the police the power to demand "papers" from someone just on their own suspicion?
Any chatter from the tea party folk to this effect? I haven't seen any.
Of course not. It wasn't signed by a black Democrat, and it doesn't affect old, well-off white people, therefore it cannot be tyranny. Duh.
Tyranny isn't a problem. Tyranny by someone *else* is a problem.
