Malignant Liberal Idiocy

Cross-posted from Conservative Common Man:

Common sense dictates that landlords should be allowed to know who rents their apartments, houses, or condos. Common sense cannot be found in the courtroom of U.S. District Judge Jane Boyle. What can be found in Boyle’s courtroom is yet another weapon in the federal court war on the citizens of this country. Judge Boyle’s tactical target is the citizens of Farmer’s Branch, Texas.

Newsmax.com reports:

DALLAS — A federal judge on Friday stopped a Dallas suburb’s latest attempt to drive away illegal immigrants, ruling that Farmers Branch cannot enforce a ban on home rentals to those who can’t prove they live legally in the country.

U.S. District Judge Jane Boyle’s temporary restraining order stopped an ordinance that had been set to go into effect Saturday. The ordinance was intended to replace a similar measure that was struck down in federal court.

“We’re very disappointed in Judge Boyle’s view of the ordinance, but we’re confident that ultimately it will be upheld by the federal court system,” said Michael Jung, the attorney representing the city of Farmers Branch.

The judge said the ordinance has the potential to cause irreparable injury to landlords who are likely to lose business to neighboring cities that don’t have similar laws.

I suppose if neighboring cities didn’t have similar laws against public nudity, a city that had outlawed public nudity would not be allowed to enforce its laws. I can see that there would be “irreparable injury to” grocery store owners that refused service to nude shoppers who would likely go elsewhere to shop.

Put another way, illegal aliens are going to rent property so it should be legal. People are going to drive drunk anyway, so that should also be legal.

In a time when the liberal media should be rejoicing in their impending presidential victory (regardless of which sub-par candidate wins) or focusing on their primary task of campaigning for “Big Brother” Barry Obama, they still get distracted by the perceived unjust treatment of lawbreakers. Both presidential candidates are open-borders, no sovereignty type guys, but apparently the lib media doesn’t think that is good enough. You see, illegal aliens are being caught currently and their sad tales must be told. Imagine the horror that the most recently detained illegals faced, they could not attend the wedding reception for Ellen and “Ally McBeal’s” Nell (the other newsworthy garbage in The San Francisco Chronicle.) Actually, most of the illegals in Iowa probably wouldn’t have made the trip out of “the shadows” to attend the gay (that means happy, right?) couple’s nuptials.

The AP article in the San Francisco Chronicle is heart-wrenchingly headlined, “Small town Iowa struggles after immigration raid.” A gut response might be, “so what?” There is no valid reason for a town to struggle because of an immigration raid. Those that claim otherwise conveniently ignore the most basic fact, illegal is illegal. If there are jobs to be done, they can be done by people that are here “legally”, which means those without the “il” as a prefix to their status. Perhaps the business owners should pay higher wages and subsequently charge more, or perform the tasks themselves… oh shoot, I used common sense there. Forgive me, it is a bad habit of mine.

The Washington Post took a break from campaigning for Barrack Karl (since Hussein is apparently offensive) Obama to report on Wednesday’s disturbing ruling by the grossly misnamed International Court of Justice. The headline, which seems thankfully inaccurate, reads “Court Orders U.S. to Halt Execution of 5 Mexicans.” I guess they figure nobody reads the articles since they point out in the text that :

CULIACAN, Mexico, July 16 — A U.N. court ruled Wednesday that the United States should halt the executions of five Mexican nationals — including a convicted killer sentenced to die in three weeks — until their cases can be reviewed.

The ruling by the International Court of Justice, also known as the World Court, is not binding. Nonetheless, Mexican officials and attorneys for the condemned men said they hoped it would influence U.S. authorities overseeing the five cases in Texas, as well as the 46 other cases of Mexican nationals on death row across the United States.

It doesn’t sound like an “order” to me, but it is close enough to be infuriating. Even more infuriating is the “most pressing case” they highlight:

The most pressing case involves José Medellín, who was convicted of raping and killing two teenage girls 15 years ago as part of a gang initiation rite. He is scheduled to die Aug. 5 in Texas. His case has stirred a passionate reaction in Mexico, which does not have the death penalty.

Medellin raped and murdered two teenage girls! By the way, here is a reminder that the Bush administration sought to have the death penalty overturned by the Supreme Court last year: “Bush backs Mexico, rapist-murderer.”

If we had a justice system, this beast would not be alive and costing the taxpayers a dime. It was despicable when President Amnesty tried to get this illegal alien rapist and murderer a softer sentence and the continued actions by the World Court only serve to further the suffering of the victims’ families.

The young victims’ rights were given no consideration whatsoever before their deaths. President Bush and the World Court (I cannot use the word “justice” in referring to this judicial compost heap again) have indicated that the two young girls, victimized by Medellin do not matter. What matters to our president is his approval rating in Mexico (and our next president is damn sure to carry on in the same fashion regardless of which amnesty peddling liberal is elected.)

The World Court’s interest is likely motivated by spite and a desire to exert power over our nation. I wonder what the Ertman family thinks of the UN and their “court.” I wonder if they and the family of the other victim will ever be allowed to see some form of justice for their precious little girls.
