| Arpaio Pardoned, RINOs melt down |
| 2017-08-27 |
| [American Thinker] What on earth has happened to the moral and political sensibilities of Paul Ryan, John McCain, Jeff Flake, Jeb Bush, etc.? All of those RINOs who are attacking President Trump for pardoning Joe Arpaio are simpering, whining traitors to the party they allegedly represent. They should declare themselves Democrats and be done with the masquerade. Perhaps they should remind themselves of all the criminals and thugs that President Obama pardoned, or that President Clinton pardoned. Trump made it clear at his rally in Phoenix that he was going to pardon the beleaguered sheriff. The audience there was thrilled, as were the millions of people watching on television, the citizens who want our immigration laws enforced. If there was ever anyone who deserved a pardon, along with Scooter Libby, it is Joe Arapio. This was a no-brainer! The man has enforced both federal and state laws for his entire career. Arpaio was found in contempt of court after a Clinton-appointed judge, Susan Bolton, ordered him to stop enforcing the law, detaining people he suspected (or knew) to be illegal immigrants. It was the judge who broke the law as so many of our activist judges have over the last decade. They do not want laws that protect our borders enforced. Such judges are traitors to the nation as well. How have we come to the point at which the Republican leadership in Congress is so consistently on the wrong side of their stated principles? They have made common cause with the likes of the odious Sen. Chuck Schumer and the rest of the left. They despise Trump. That is clear to everyone. They intend to continue their sabotage of the president, even if it means they lose their majority, even if it means they contribute to the further takeover of the country by the totalitarian left. They are apparently just fine with the increasing restriction on free speech and the failure to identify Antifa and BLM as the terrorist groups they are. They seem to be fine with the criminal nonsense perpetrated by the Southern Poverty Law Center. |

| #10 These are the people who are supposed to approve the border wall. Judges are people. Some adhere to those who signed the Constitution, others adhere to those who sign their paychecks. |

| #9 What on earth has happened to the moral and political sensibilities of Paul Ryan, John McCain, Jeff Flake, Jeb Bush, etc.? "American Thinker" hasn't done much thinking about this, has he? Or is this one of those "Appeal to the better angels of their nature by professing shock at behavior that's been going on for decades" bits that the conservative commentariat like to engage in? Has that stuff ever worked? |

| #8 newc, Obama's pardons were based on compassion, All the people he pardoned had done was things like murder, robbery, rape, and, in Bradley Manning's case, betray the United States. On the other hand, what Sheriff Arpaio had done was RACIST, and thus unforgivable. Of course the people had to melt down. /sarcasm |

| #6 One of countless examples of judges making the laws and not interpreting them. Sickening. And remember T.J.'s warning about the judiciary.... |

| #5 It was the judge who broke the law as so many of our activist judges have over the last decade. There's no evidence of prosecutorial or judicial misconduct in the Arpaio case. Such judges are traitors to the nation as well. The judge is not a "traitor to the nation". This entire piece is hyperbolic rubbish not worthy of the 'burg. |

| #4 Aside from giving Arpaio a break that he deserved, the pardon is a message to his people, that not cooperating with the inquision doesn't mean jail. Mueller, game on! |

| #2 Only two types of non-leftards in America: these who melt down when called "racist", and these who reply "su madre cabron". |

| #1 What on earth has happened to the moral and political sensibilities of Paul Ryan, John McCain, Jeff Flake, Jeb Bush, etc.? Bringing to bear what one does not possess is very difficult. |
