Here is audio of Rush Limbaugh hammering Mexican President Felipe Calderon for comments he made during an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer.

Limbaugh pointed out the hypocrisy of Calderon’s criticism of Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration law, because Mexico summarily deports people who cross into Mexico illegally, and routinely stops people and asks to see their papers.

Calderon said it with his own mouth that Mexican police ask to see the papers of people:

WOLF BLITZER: “Do Mexican police go around asking for papers of people who they suspect are illegal?”

CALDERON: “Of course.”

BLITZER: “If somebody sneaks in from Nicaragua or some other country in Central America through the southern border of Mexico, they wind up in Mexico, they can go get a job, they can work . . .”

CALDERON: (Interrupting Blitzer) “No, no. If somebody do that without permission, we send back them.”

Yet he criticizes Arizona for trying to get a handle on the illegal immigration that is overwhelming their state!

Rush Limbaugh said, “Is this guy an idiot? Is this guy not just a full-fledged idiot? He just undercut his entire argument. He just undercut Obama’s entire argument.”

Yes, he is Rush. And the Democrats gave him a standing ovation today.

GOP Congressman Says it’s “Not Right” for Mexican Prez to Come to America and Criticize Arizona.

GOP Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) saying he does not believe it right for Mexican Pres. Felipe Calderon to come to America and criticize our nation and one of our states – Arizona.

Rep. Smith said: “It’s a little bit like inviting a guest over for dinner and having them criticize the food, and I just don’t think it was appropriate.”

Smith also said: “I just don’t think it’s right for the president of another country to come here and criticize our nation or our states for wanting to stop human smuggling, stop drug trafficking, or, frankly, secure their borders.”

Rep. Smith finished with a great summary statement: “I just don’t like the idea of foreign officials – officials of other governments coming to us and interfering in our domestic affairs. We wouldn’t go to their country and tell them what to do. And I think they should concentrate on what’s best for their nation, and let us concentrate on what we think is best for ours.”

Wow: Number of Arizonans Who Support Immigration Law Hits New High, 71%…

Arizona voters now support the state’s new immigration law more than ever and are still more inclined to think the law will be good for the state’s economy rather than bad. A lot of voters in the state are thinking it’s payback time, too, to those cities or states that boycott Arizona.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Arizona finds that 71% now favor the immigration law, while 24% oppose it.

In late April, the law was supported by 64% of the state’s voters and opposed by 30%

Nationally, 55% of voters favor passage of such a law in their state.

Texas GOP Sen. John Cornyn: Who is Calderon to Lecture Americans on Our Laws?..

Good question, ask President Dickwad…

Texas Sen. John Cornyn took Mexican President Felipe Calderon to task today for criticizing the tough Arizona immigration law and the flow of illegal guns from the United States to Mexico.

“It was inappropriate for President Calderon to lecture Americans on our own state and federal laws,” the San Antonio Republican said in a statement. “Arizona’s immigration law has been amended to make clear it does not authorize racial profiling by law enforcement.

“Moreover, the Second Amendment is not a subject open for diplomatic negotiation, with Mexico or any other nation.”

Calderon, in Washington for a state visit, addressed a joint session of Congress this morning.

GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch Rips Mexican President Calderon For Criticizing Arizona During Address to Congress…

Don’t stop with Calderon, Obama was the one who allowed him to speak there in the first place…

(The Hill)- Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) blasted Mexican President Felipe Calderon on Thursday, calling the visiting dignitary’s remarks on Arizona’s recently implemented immigration law “inappropriate.”

Earlier Thursday, Calderon condemned Arizona’s new immigration law during a speech to a joint session of Congress, saying it amounts to little more than racial profiling and that the United States is in need of comprehensive immigration reform.

“It’s inappropriate for a head of state to question our laws, especially when the state of Arizona only acted in the best interest of its citizens and with the support of seventy percent of its people,” said Hatch in a statement.

Hatch said Arizona was forced to pass the immigration law — which compels state law enforcement officials to require proper legal residency papers from people they suspect may be in the U.S. illegally — because of the federal government’s failure to stop drug and human smugglers, as well as illegal immigrants, from coming across the U.S.-Mexico border.

“The state of Arizona is stepping in where the federal government has failed,” said Hatch. “It is trying to stop waves of illegal immigrants, many of whom are dangerous gang members and drug and human traffickers, from crossing into its communities.”

NH: WWII Vet Ordered to Take Down American Flag…

A Navy veteran is fighting to be able to show his patriotism by flying an American flag outside his apartment building.

Joe LeVangie, 88, said he’s upset after he and his neighbors were told to take their flags down because flying them was against management policy. He said there should be an exception for the flag.

LeVangie, a World War II veteran,said he used to fly his American flag outside his apartment at the Maple Leaf complex in Hillsborough.

“In respect for all the troops serving overseas now and for those who never came back,” he said.

But recently, his management company told all residents that their flags had to come down. The brackets for the flag poles were also removed.

“I was madder than hell,” he said. “Come to find out, it was the maintenance man who was told to do so.”

The same thing happened to Margery Kenney, who lives next door. Her brackets were taken down, and her flag is now rolled up against the wall.

“My whole family was in the service, and it’s a shame something like this was allowed to happen,” she said.

San Diego Teacher Ordered to Take Down “God Bless America” Posters…

A San Diego math teacher was forced to remove two posters from his classroom walls because they included the phrases “In God We Trust,” “One Nation Under God” and “God Bless America.”

A federal judge said the Poway Unified School District was wrong to order the removal of the posters, and now the school district is appealing the judge’s decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Brad Johnson, who has been an educator for 32 years, told Baptist Press he began hanging motivational posters in his classroom early in his career.

“I have a lot of nature pictures in my classroom from national parks and other nationally recognized scenes, so I put that poster up around all my nature pictures to reflect that as a nation we believe that we’re not here as an accident, that we’ve been created and we’ve been endowed by a Creator with our rights,” Johnson, a math teacher at Westview High School, said.

Johnson doesn’t talk about the posters in class, and he said students have commented that his classroom is a relaxing, refreshing and inspirational place.

But in the fall of 2006, another math teacher asked the principal why the posters were permitted. The principal sought guidance from district administrators, and the assistant superintendent, Bill Chiment, was assigned to investigate.
