Arpaio kick'n ass and taking names

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched an investigation of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in Arizona following requests by congressional Democrats and allegations by liberal activists that the department has violated the civil rights of illegal aliens. ...

Non-citizens of the US have no US civil rights. And illegal aliens -- do-it-yourself invaders -- have no moral claims upon our sympathies.

is that the sheriff that mad made the inmates wear pink jumpsuits and grow their own food?

He also has them live in Tents and work on road clean up crews. No easy time on his watch.

You and I must be working on very similar projects.

Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

Are you hooking into the page request manager, too? I'm just beginning to understand how useful an object it is.

I actually haven't found a use for it yet. In fact, I don't use any of the microsoft ajax controls, including the updatepanel. My client side javascript is intended to be used in an MVC pattern. There is no application specific logic on the client and I'm just using ajax to transfer data between the controller and the view which is pretty much pure HTML. I have a custom control that sets up the scriptmanager and builds the view from an XML definition file. The IFrame has been an important part of the design but I have it working now without the need for an IFrame.

Here's a little piece of code I put in today: Public Shared Sub DisplayAJAXMessage(ByVal page As Control, ByVal msg As String) Dim myScript As String = String.Format("alert('{0:}')", msg) ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(page, page.GetType(), "MyScript", myScript, True) End Sub and later, to tell the player he can't do that: DisplayAJAXMessage(Me, "Not enough space or credits") Bingo, immediate alertbox that happens on the same postback that the player used to try something he couldn't do. Later I'll replace the alert with a CSS'd messagebox that'll act like a Toast. It's not rocket science, but it's an example of what I am beginning to really like about the manager, that ability to hook into the same round trip that occurred to create a situation. (Yes, it's VB, if you need it translated, I'll be glad to do so. ;) )

Well, one novel idea is supporting the 14th amendment which provides for both equal protection and equal prosecution under the law. So, profiling as a practice by law enforcement when rounding up anyone who is Hispanic and forcing them to prove their legitimacy even for legal citizens who happen to be Mexican, which, Arizona has been Mexican for hundreds of years, is at best, unconstitutional. If we support the idea that we are a nation of laws, then we can't pick and choose which laws we wish to obey. As soon as law enforcement is allowed to ignore the laws they find inconvenient, then we are no longer a nation of laws.

This statement is false
