Ned Pepper's Outrages

Jeb Bush's latest

Former Fla Gov "Jeb" Bush has struck again: Trying to quell persistent rumors that he is a candidate for President in 2012, he apparently told the Denver Post that his views on immigration differ from your typical Republican candidate. He was quoted thus: " (H)e believes there are solutions other than a law criminalizing illegal immigrants," to the situation faced by the long-suffering citizens of Arizona. Now, Ned just got back from a fact-finding trip to AZ and he can attest that persons all across the political and ethnic spectrum support the Arizona law, which seeks to make it so uncomfortable for illegals that they will voluntary repatriate to wherever the hell they came from. But Bush's idea of not criminalizing 'illegal' behavior gives Ned an idea that might help states solve their looming fiscal crises: stop criminalizing illegal behavior.
We could require all 'able-bodied' citizens over the age of six to carry loaded firearms and blast away whenever they saw something that looked illegal, like a dog pissing on someone's flowers, or someone making an illegal turn. We could close our prisons and slash the police forces, and especially get rid of the prison guards drawing $100k a year with full pension after 20 years. Ned noted with alarm that there were so many cops driving around in Oro Valley AZ, and pulling over honest citizens that the place felt like an occupied country.
So, OK Jeb, let's try your idea. First, how about a visit to Fox "News" to run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes?
