Why Are Arizona Republicans So Intolerant

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer

Down in Arizona, governor Jan Brewer and Sheriff Joe Arpaio are doing everything possible to make the state a hell for the mainly Hispanic illegal alien population and gay couples. The supreme court's decision to strike down key parts of Arizona's immigration law that authorized state authorities to actively hunt for illegals has not deterred the immigrant loathing pair, but has given the governor some breathing space to look for more minority groups to target. And she has now chosen to go after the state's gay and lesbian population.

Governor Brewer, a Tea Party champion had worked earlier in her term with Republican legislators to deny benefits to same sex partners of state employees in 2009. A federal court had declared the move illegal, but that has only infuriated the governor who is bent on ensuring that same sex couples lose all health care and other benefits they get from their partners. In a move aimed at continuing her discriminatory policies against the states gay and lesbian population, she has appealed the federal court's decision to the US supreme court, essentially asking the supreme law interpreters of the land to join the tea party discrimination bandwagon against gays and other minorities.

Tea Party republicans frequently bring these agenda cases to the US supreme court which is currently dominated by Justices Like Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas who never vote against conservative causes, causing the court to be viewed by many as growing increasingly partisan, agenda driven and losing its neutrality.

On July 17th popular Hispanic hating Sheriff Joe Arpaio has vowed to release a bombshell document that proves once and for all that President Barack Obama was  born out of America and secretly smuggled into the country by his mother, who somehow foresaw that he will one day be president, and decided to keep his birthplace secret, so that she will not spoil his chances of one day leading the United States of America.
The question that comes to mind after hearing all what is going on in Arizona  is whether there are any sane people left in that state.
