I haven't written in a long long time.
It isn't because I had nothing to say.
It is because my frequent use of the word Obamacrack and other drug terms caused my internet filter to block my own blog. It then was blocked for hate (because of my tone towards government and particularly Liberals, and then for racism because in one of my pieces I told you that I must be a racist because i disagree with Obama.
Commies.
What is amazing is what I told you would happen is happening. go back and read my entries and you'll see. What I told you was going to happen is happening. Useless government.
But the best part is those stupid, astro turfing, paid, mob mentality, ignorant, Fox News Junkies and overall wonderful people are starting to take back the government. It isn't the Republicans, it is regular people who now realize that the silent majority cannot be silent anymore.
Revolution baby! Bring it on!

100 Days on Obamacrack
Lets have a status report shall we? (This is a much toned down piece than the original one I wrote. The other had too many swear words in it to leave here. My Net Nanny was blocking it so I couldn't even read it.)
Here were the ten things he promised and how I feel he is doing.
1. End the war in Iraq.
Nope. He got into he oval office and got a real briefing on what is going on and decided to keep the troops where they were. Oh, and just in case that war didn't go well, he spent the first three weeks of his administration doing everything he can to make USweaker and a prime target for the next attack. So he can have his own war.
2. Make the U.S. energy independent.
No drilling, no clean coal, no nuclear reactors. Nope we are still as hooked to the middle east oil. I sure hope that they get the windmills up and running because Obama's energy plan BLOWS! (or sucks depending on which way the windmill is turned.)
3. Create Jobs.
Yep, he created hundreds of shovel ready jobs. Too bad his fiscal policy ruined any traction we once had and millions of real people who had real jobs (you know good paying non-shovel using jobs) are out of work.
4. Bring unity to the U.S. Listen to the other side of the isle.
Five words: Most divisive President in history. He only stretched his hand across the isle to slap a seventy-year-old war veteran and to steal all the cash he had in his wallet.
5. Repair our economy
Yep. it sure "Feels" like our economy is coming around. Too bad we financed what little success this Blowhole gave us with every last dime of our children's future. I look at my not quite teenage daughter and shed a tear. She doesn't even have a chance. He has already spent her future to get what he wanted right now.
6. Bring down the cost of health care/ universal health care
Being uninsured. I hoped that this might get somewhere. But, nope. All we get is a "down payment." Kind of like layaway. You pay as you go, then you get to keep it, only to find out you don't want it anyway.
7. Tax cuts for the middle class under $250,000.
Nope, with cap and trade and letting Bush's tax cuts expire, every person in the U.S. (except those who don't pay taxes) are going to be paying more. Just think, he didn't raise taxes at all, and still was able to lie to your face as he slipped his hand into your pocket. Dirty Pervert!
8. Improve foreign relations.
Well, if you think that being apologetic and conciliatory to terrorists, bowing to foreign oil cartels, and not understanding U.S History good foreign relations, yep he's 100%.
9. Keep America safe.
Not in a million years. He quietly selling us off, pimping us out, and destroying the U.S.'s ability to strike back. You'd be a fool if you didn't recognize the yellow bastard. One of the first things he did was appease the Muslim extremists. Yeah good luck with that one. I hope they cut off his outstretched hand.
10. Solve the entitlement programs of Social Security and Medicare.
What people don;' understand is that this is a time bomb. It is the exact same issue GM is dealing with. GM is about to go bust under his omnipotent leadership. So is medicare and SS.
So where does this leave us? While the main stream media is having their Obamaffair, the rest of us are going to have to figure out if we have enough ammo yet to take back our country, and at what point we say enough is enough?
Nope the first 100 days on ObamaCrack was enough for me. I'd like to be sober please.

And Everyone Said Bush was an IDIOT
So you're still some one who thinks that George Bush was too stupid to run the country and that Mr. Obama with all his education, and fancy soliloquy is much better equipped to lead the free world?
You are obviously on Obamacrack!
Obama hasn't got a clue and you are too stupid to recognize it because you are blinded by all the flash bulbs going off with this paparazzi farce of a president to see that he is the biggest joke in history. I didn't much like Bush, but at least everyone knew of his short comings INCLUDING HIM. Obama in all his hubris can't find his political butt with both hands and the media, all of his loyal subjects and people too stupid to know the difference between a statesman and a snake oil salesman keep giving him a pass.
So ask yourself:
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics,would you have approved? (He would have been vilified by the liberal media. Don't think for one second they would have let him off the hook as saying it was a poor attempt at humor.)
If George W. Bush had given Tony Blair a set of inexpensive and useless (to Tony Blair's UK video formatting) DVDs, when Tony Blair had given him thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved? (This is a slap in the face and proves that he hasn't got a clue. A DVD? Are you kidding me? Might as well have been porn.)
If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have approved? (What a narcissist! What kind of people are whispering in this idiots ear? 'Yeah Bro, I bet the Queen would love to sit with her feet up and just listen to your silky, smooth voice.' 'Heh, heh, dude, you said silky.')
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved? (If another liberal media bafoon tells me that he didn't bow, I am gonna puke. It is one thing to lie about landing in in a war zone when there are no cameras. It is another to lie when it is on film for everyone to see. Why would you lie about it? How stupid is this guy? Let's examine exhibit A shall wee. . .)
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip? (Hey Liberal media! Isn't this the exact issue you had with Phalin? Turns out your horse doesn't know anything more than she did, and had less experience to boot.)
If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved? (This is the biggest hypocrisy and the smoking gun of this president. Ever wonder why liberals want to spend YOUR money, but they can't seem to pay THIER OWN Taxes? If Socialism, or whatever they are trying to pass it off as this week, works so well, why are they not paying in all their income? Or why are they not paying their taxes AT ALL? Obama is a puppet, a troll, and a fool, but he sure knows who should be running our government, people with none of their money in it.)
If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved? (This one chaps my hide. If I were the CEO of that company I would have introduce Obama to my middle finger, more than once. Notice that he used public frenzy to make rash decisions? This man has no concept of standing firm, standing for what is right, or having morals. He just does whatever he thinks will get him more power. Narcissistic hubris, pure and simple.)
If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved? (Well, Bush did actually and he did it the same way Obama is doing it just not on the scale Obama is. But that is not the point! The point is that Obama is lying to you when he says that he has intentions or any other notion to cut taxes. Here's why. He can lower taxes and then take on more debt over a longer period that is exactly the same thing. it is like you paying your car off with a home equity line of credit. You owe more now, but the payments are smaller, but you have to pay for a longer period of time!)
If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10years, would you have approved? (No one would, but you and the liberal media are giving him a pass! He doesn't care about you, or the U.S. Want to know how I know? Stop and think, don't let the media, or your hate for GW cloud your vision, don't let his smooth tongue slip you into an obamacrack coma, stop and listen to what he says. He told you he wouldn't pass a bill unless you had time to read it. He passed the spendulis before even congress could read it. He said he was going to make politics more transparent, yet he is signing bills without media scrutiny, and without your input. He said he wasn't going to put lobbyists in government positions, but he did that too. For someone who cries "change is coming" he has done nothing to change it at all. He is the worst kind of liar. He does it to your face and you don't care.)
So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? (Nothing. I am not impressed with a man who had every opportunity in his first 100 days to make good on the promises that he bought the election with. He has done everything in his power to show his followers that they were sheep following a wolf back into a boxed canyon, and yet his sheep are still crying out his name in praise as he thrashes them to pieces.)
Stupid Sheep.

Why there is a Right and Left, Blue and Red, Right and Wrong in America
We are fast approaching a time in the U.S. where we are polarized into three groups. I affectionately will call them, The Obamacrack Heads, the Rush Junkies, and the Rest of Us.
The Obamacrak Heads want you tho think that the world was screwed up by George Bush, and that Obama is here to save the day and correct all the wrongs with his powerful mouth. They want you to believe that you cannot take care of yourself, and that the government is here to save the day. They believe that religion and family values are outdated, and that freedom means what the government wants you to believe it is. They believe that a murderer on death row's life is precious, but an unborn baby is just a choice. They want to save the planet even if that means not saving the human race. They want energy independence, but are not willing to drill anywhere in the U.S. which leaves us a slave to Mid-East oil. They believe that the U.S. should apologize, unilaterally disarm, and present ourselves to the world for trial and give into the U.N. to be ruled by the New World Order. (Too harsh? I was trying to go for the full impact. Oh, I got it? Good, thanks.)
On the other hand. . .
Rush junkies want you to believe that Obama represents the end of all things sacred and good in the U.S. They want the government to sleek back into he shadows so that unscrupulous big business can screw the people again. They believe that there should be a gun in every home and a Bible on every night stand. They believe that the government should butt out and let us live our lives. They believe the government should get out of the way of the constitution. They believe that a baby is precious, but we should be building electric benches to send all the murderers and terrorist to. They believe America should be strong so everyone else should just get out of the way and let us dominate. They want to drill all over the U.S. for oil, get rid of the Mid-East dependency, and become self efficient. They want to pollute the world to make a buck. They want judges to quit legislating from the bench, and for Congress to quit spending everyone elses money. (did I go far enough? I am not sure I captured a Liberals angst.... Oh well. I tried.)
Then there is the rest of us. We are somewhere in the middle, going to work, spending money, not really paying attention to what happens in Washington DC 'caus it really doesn't matter. I mean, if it really mattered, my income would stop, my credit cards wouldn't work, and the grocery store wouldn't be full waiting for me to buy stuff. Oh yeah, if it really mattered, Lexus wouldn't be selling $80k cars and people wouldn't be buying flat screen T.V.'s, right?
I am mean how bad could it get? I still have a job right? I still have money? Why do I need to listen to what is going on with our government? So they spend a lot, nothing is new. Yeah and there seems to be a war brewing, but hey, that doesn't effect where I am buying fast food today. Right? Come on, if things were really going bad, the news would tells us right? They would have our best interest at heart. I mean, come on, isn't all of this going to wash away in a couple of years? You know when the stock market rebounds and we all make our money back?
When the masses in the middle stop listening, do you know who gets louder? The people on the far left and right. You want to know why? Because the more you don't listen, the more there is to lose. I guess in their eyes, the more their is to gain. Control of your future is at stake, right now. The decisions you are not making right now, standing up for what you believe in and voicing your opinions, and making demands of your leaders will effect us the rest of our lives. The fact that most people are staying quiet is the most disconcerting aspect of everything that is happening right now.
Do you think the Romans thought they would be superior forever? What about the Persians? The Khans? the English? Do you think they knew that their empire and era of prosperity was about to end? Or were they more worried about what's for dinner, or what they can buy with the change they had in their pocket?
I guess the middle masses were about as aware as the Rest of Us.
Do you know what is sad? China knows.
Hey middle masses! You know any Chinese?
Better start learning.

Walking Away From Facebook
Today I made a decision. I am walking away from Facebook. No seriously. No more Facebook.
Why?
For the same reason I don't carry my cell phone around with me anymore. Not for two years now.
My business allows me to meet with a lot of people. I once had lunch with a very successful business man, when my cell phone rang. At the time, I had made it clear to all my clients that they could call me anytime and I would pick up the phone. So I did. I excused myself politely and took the call. When I came back, I was taught one of the most important lessons I have ever had.
I apologized to the business owner, after all, it wasn't a business meeting, we were just having lunch and talking about his business. He accepted, then told me something I will never forget.
"Life was simpler when people could only reach us on our terms." He said. "Just because people can reach you, doesn't mean that they should. The day is fast coming when we will not know when enough is enough, and society's eagerness to communicate will corrode our ability to communicate. We will all be trying to say so much, that what everyone says will mean nothing."
Since that day, I told clients to call me at my business, during business hours and I would be happy to talk with them. I told friends to call me at home at appropriate times, and kept my cell phone for emergencies and for my family.
I am much happier. Work stays at work, and I am not tied to my phone like an addict tied to his meth. Facebook was becoming the same thing. Just because people can access information about each other doesn't mean they should.
But more importantly for me, It is one less thing I have to worry about during the day.

Despair, Apathy, Bliss, Warning
Sorry I haven’t blogged for a while. I had to stop watching the news. Every time I turned it on I felt more and more despair and had a hard time seeing from all the blood that was spurting out of my eyes.
So I put my head down at work and started to focus on saving my business, earning “Screw You, Obama” money and making sure I would last through this crisis. By doing so, I actually became apathetic. I couldn’t change the fact that political novice Obama and Queen Pelosi were setting a foundation that we will never recover from, so I changed my business and got my own house in order (gardens, food storage, guns and ammo, etc.( no I am not kidding)). I didn’t have time to worry about what I cannot change until the next election.
What I found was bliss. My garden is producing food on an almost daily basis now. I am comfortable knowing that if all hell breaks loose I have enough to at least survive. Watching food grow is incredibly hypnotic and calming. Planting something and seeing it break through the dirt and become greed, or flower, or turn into something you can eat is amazingly blissful. It is quite reminder that God is in control and we only need to align ourselves with his will.
Which brings me to my next phase of warning.
I only write this blog for myself and usually the only ones who ever read where my friends and family. So this is for them as well as anyone who reads. . .
1. This is not a normal recession. Do not believe anyone who tells you that this will be over soon and we will get back to normal. There is no normal. There are new factors involved now that have never been involved before. There will be a new economy, one we have never seen before, and it will not be kind to us as it stabilizes.
a. Banks are still not lending to businesses at the level that is necessary to function. Many, many small businesses are at the brink of failure. Small businesses employ 40-50% of the U.S. population. IF they fail, larger and larger businesses will fail too.
b. Commercial real estate is beginning to falter and foreclose just as the housing did a yar ago. The same signs are there and it will have the same if not a larger effect then what has happened so far.
c. We do not produce much anymore. Almost 63% of our GDP is based on the “exchange” of products and services not in production. This means that it is like dominos. One business fails and that will affect ten others that will affect ten others. Look at people you know, think about what they do for a living. Do they make something or do they service, exchange, or support those who do? All those jobs are in jeopardy.
2. Your government is not your government. They no longer represent you.
a. Whether you like Obama or not, one thing is very clear. He has no intention of keeping any of his promises. Line for line, all the promises he made in speeches and on the campaign, have fallen away. He has kept none of them. Since taking office he has paid back every favor, every donor, and every special interest group that put him in office, at incredible disregard to you, its citizens and the country in whole. He had plenty of opportunity to do what he promised, but never did.
b. The Congress and the Senate are no longer listening to their constituents. They do not care. There has never been a time where so many people are out do what is best for them, not the country. It is appalling to see our system abused in this way.
c. You can’t do anything right now. Until there is an election all you can do is wait. Our only hope is that enough people in the middle will see that they need to oust congress and senate to get new people with more level heads into the mix. Our only hope is to replace as many people as we can with new ones.
3. Debt is crippling the country.
a. In less than 12 months we have pledge to spend 4.6 years of tax revenue (when the economy is good). This is like saying that you make $100k and you have $100k in debt, so to solve the problem you take on $460k in new debt to solve the old debt. But here is the kicker, in a recession your salary is going to be cut 40%. How are you going to repay the new debt with less when you couldn’t repay the old one?
b. Your government wants you to think that they are the only ones who can save you. They will promise everything and produce nothing but make new promises to cover that up. How do they do it? By putting you in debt. You pay taxed now, not because the government uses the money to make your life better, but to finance promises that can never be kept, and new promises to hide that fact. Once it begins it will never end. Governments are like freight trains; once they get rolling nothing short of derailment will stop it.
c. Your children will have less opportunity, not more. All you need to do is look to the past and you will see that all empires die and new ones will begin. China will be the next super power. They are the only ones that are funding our debt, and your children will pay for it deeply. The U.S. will shrink back into socialistic oblivion and will feed off the scraps from China just as Europe did from us the last 100 years. Look to China for opportunities, maybe have your children learn Chinese.
4. It will be a tough transition.
a. The dollar is exactly like the stock of a company. It is the stock of the U.S. Right now it is being held up in the exact same way that Enron held up their stock. The government has four sets of books, barrowing huge amounts of money from outside and from each of the books. It will fail, just like Enron.
b. Think it can’t happen? Why? DO you think the U.S is so important that the rest of the world will not let it fail? That is like saying that other companies will support Enron so it won’t fail. Watch closely to what is happening with Russia and China, they are pushing for things that erode the U.S’s economy and guess who is slapping them on the back and agreeing to it. Your president.
c. Hillary Clinton has already used land rights to secure loans from China. What does that mean? It means when we can’t pay, they get land in the U.S. What land? Well, that is the question isn’t it? China may just want the northern half Alaska. And believe me, they won’t have a problem sucking ALL the oil out of the ground. All you green idiots will be shot on sight when you try to protest it.
d. The Dollar will fail. There will be a time when nothing is available because of hyper inflation. People don’t want to sell a load of potatoes for $500 when that $500 might be only worth $50 the very next day. You will need your own storage, and your own bartering chips to survive the 3-6 months until it is stabilized. Gee, three to six months, where have I heard this before?
e. When we come out, we will not know what to do, and most people will have to restructure their lives to survive. We will all have to get back to basics. You will not be making $100K a year selling anything.
Could I be wrong. I pray I am. I am not taking any chances though. I would rather be prepared for it and have it not happen then be right and not be prepared.
For those who have ears let them hear.
So I put my head down at work and started to focus on saving my business, earning “Screw You, Obama” money and making sure I would last through this crisis. By doing so, I actually became apathetic. I couldn’t change the fact that political novice Obama and Queen Pelosi were setting a foundation that we will never recover from, so I changed my business and got my own house in order (gardens, food storage, guns and ammo, etc.( no I am not kidding)). I didn’t have time to worry about what I cannot change until the next election.
What I found was bliss. My garden is producing food on an almost daily basis now. I am comfortable knowing that if all hell breaks loose I have enough to at least survive. Watching food grow is incredibly hypnotic and calming. Planting something and seeing it break through the dirt and become greed, or flower, or turn into something you can eat is amazingly blissful. It is quite reminder that God is in control and we only need to align ourselves with his will.
Which brings me to my next phase of warning.
I only write this blog for myself and usually the only ones who ever read where my friends and family. So this is for them as well as anyone who reads. . .
1. This is not a normal recession. Do not believe anyone who tells you that this will be over soon and we will get back to normal. There is no normal. There are new factors involved now that have never been involved before. There will be a new economy, one we have never seen before, and it will not be kind to us as it stabilizes.
a. Banks are still not lending to businesses at the level that is necessary to function. Many, many small businesses are at the brink of failure. Small businesses employ 40-50% of the U.S. population. IF they fail, larger and larger businesses will fail too.
b. Commercial real estate is beginning to falter and foreclose just as the housing did a yar ago. The same signs are there and it will have the same if not a larger effect then what has happened so far.
c. We do not produce much anymore. Almost 63% of our GDP is based on the “exchange” of products and services not in production. This means that it is like dominos. One business fails and that will affect ten others that will affect ten others. Look at people you know, think about what they do for a living.

The Messiah's comming.
Obama will arrive at my airport in Phoenix today and speak in a high school in my city on Wednesday.
I can't get close enough to protest. There is no "sanctioned area" for protesters. I guess he hasn't ticked off enough people yet.
It makes me sad, so here is what I would have put on my signs and held them high.
"You Lied. You brought no hope or change to Washington."
"You lied. Your government is not transparent."
"You & Congress just robbed the American people."
I have to admit, I feel helpless. There are so many things wrong with what is going on right now, and most people don't care.
I can't figure out how to make a difference. If the silent majority stays silent, the loudest of the minority takes over. If we don't put up a fight, we will always lose.

Why I Voted Democrat This Last Election
Got this from a friend. Obviously he didn't vote that way, but I thought it summed up a few things.
He wrote:
I voted Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my dog (as soon as she is 18; I'm not a pedophile).
I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.
I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
I voted Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
I voted Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they now think we're good people.
I voted Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.
I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.
I voted Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
I voted Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.
I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite The Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters. Face it; this is the legacy of "multiculturalism."
I voted Democrat because I like that idea that a tax cheat could become the tax chief.
I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my A-- that it is unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view. (Party loyalty is very powerful--and it excuses me from learning the truth.)
"A Liberal is a person who will give away everything he doesn't own."

Excuse me while I blow a fuse
What happened to the guy who stumped across America talking about change and hope? What happened to the guy that promised that he would reach across the isle and work with the opposition? What happened to the guy who promised in his inaugural speech to be open and honest with his government?
What happened to that guy?
I'll tell you what happened. HE LIED! THEY ALWAYS LIE!
All you sanctimonious Obamacrack addicts would be in an uproar if this was a Republican. But since he's a fellow liberal all of this is just hunky dory when he lies to your face, and forgets every promise that he made during campaigning. He could sell your soul and all you can think about is "that audacity of hope." If you voted for this Bozo you were taken in the biggest scam in history.
Want proof?
Name one thing he has done that he promised to do? ONE. Not five, ONE! He isn't even trying to do most of the things you voted him to do.
"He's working on the economy." You say.
Really? Let's take a look shall we? He could have worked for a bill that was ONLY stimulus and NONE of the PORK and it would have sailed through congress and the senate and be working for you weeks ago. HE DID NOT DO SO! He could have rained in Queen Pelosi and Prince William to get a bill that would actually help the U.S. HE DID NOT DO SO. He isn't working for you. He has no intentions of working for you. IF HE HAD HE WOULD DO IT ON HIS FIRST ITEMS OF BUSINESS! Why make a poor first impression?
If he really cared about you, about his promises, about the country, he would have made an extra concerted effort to be what he said he was in the first month.
He did not.
What does that tell you?
It has nothing to do with the Republicans. This is how your president is acting.

What Rights?
This article chaps my hide. Someone please explain to me why a judge would even allow this case to go to court.
Illegal aliens do not have rights to trespass on private property. They do not have rights to damage, litter, poop, or walk on a U.S. citizens land without permission.
Welcome to liberal hell. Where people with no rights are given them by a government to stupid to understand that rights are earned not rewarded.

16 illegals sue Arizona rancher
Claim violation of rights as they crossed his land
Jerry Seper (Contact)Monday, February 9, 2009
An Arizona man who has waged a 10-year campaign to stop a flood of illegal immigrants from crossing his property is being sued by 16 Mexican nationals who accuse him of conspiring to violate their civil rights when he stopped them at gunpoint on his ranch on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Roger Barnett, 64, began rounding up illegal immigrants in 1998 and turning them over to the U.S. Border Patrol, he said, after they destroyed his property, killed his calves and broke into his home.
His Cross Rail Ranch near Douglas, Ariz., is known by federal and county law enforcement authorities as "the avenue of choice" for immigrants seeking to enter the United States illegally.
Trial continues Monday in the federal lawsuit, which seeks $32 million in actual and punitive damages for civil rights violations, the infliction of emotional distress and other crimes. Also named are Mr. Barnett's wife, Barbara, his brother, Donald, and Larry Dever, sheriff in Cochise County, Ariz., where the Barnetts live. The civil trial is expected to continue until Friday.
The lawsuit is based on a March 7, 2004, incident in a dry wash on the 22,000-acre ranch, when he approached a group of illegal immigrants while carrying a gun and accompanied by a large dog.
Attorneys for the immigrants - five women and 11 men who were trying to cross illegally into the United States - have accused Mr. Barnett of holding the group captive at gunpoint, threatening to turn his dog loose on them and saying he would shoot anyone who tried to escape.
The immigrants are represented at trial by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), which also charged that Sheriff Dever did nothing to prevent Mr. Barnett from holding their clients at "gunpoint, yelling obscenities at them and kicking one of the women."
In the lawsuit, MALDEF said Mr. Barnett approached the group as the immigrants moved through his property, and that he was carrying a pistol and threatening them in English and Spanish. At one point, it said, Mr. Barnett's dog barked at several of the women and he yelled at them in Spanish, "My dog is hungry and he's hungry for buttocks."
The lawsuit said he then called his wife and two Border Patrol agents arrived at the site. It also said Mr. Barnett acknowledged that he had turned over 12,000 illegal immigrants to the Border Patrol since 1998.
In March, U.S. District Judge John Roll rejected a motion by Mr. Barnett to have the charges dropped, ruling there was sufficient evidence to allow the matter to be presented to a jury. Mr. Barnett's attorney, David Hardy, had argued that illegal immigrants did not have the same rights as U.S. citizens.
Mr. Barnett told The Washington Times in a 2002 interview that he began rounding up illegal immigrants after they started to vandalize his property, northeast of Douglas along Arizona Highway 80. He said the immigrants tore up water pumps, killed calves, destroyed fences and gates, stole trucks and broke into his home.
Some of his cattle died from ingesting the plastic bottles left behind by the immigrants, he said, adding that he installed a faucet on an 8,000-gallon water tank so the immigrants would stop damaging the tank to get water.
Mr. Barnett said some of the ranch´s established immigrant trails were littered with trash 10 inches deep, including human waste, used toilet paper, soiled diapers, cigarette packs, clothes, backpacks, empty 1-gallon water bottles, chewing-gum wrappers and aluminum foil - which supposedly is used to pack the drugs the immigrant smugglers give their "clients" to keep them running.
He said he carried a pistol during his searches for the immigrants and had a rifle in his truck "for protection" against immigrant and drug smugglers, who often are armed.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DEFENDANT: Roger Barnett said he had turned over 12,000 illegal immigrants to the Border Patrol since 1998.
A former Cochise County sheriff´s deputy who later was successful in the towing and propane business, Mr. Barnett spent $30,000 on electronic sensors, which he has hidden along established trails on his ranch. He searches the ranch for illegal immigrants in a pickup truck, dressed in a green shirt and camouflage hat, with his handgun and rifle, high-powered binoculars and a walkie-talkie.
His sprawling ranch became an illegal-immigration highway when the Border Patrol diverted its attention to several border towns in an effort to take control of the established ports of entry. That effort moved the illegal immigrants to the remote areas of the border, including the Cross Rail Ranch.
"This is my land. I´m the victim here," Mr. Barnett said. "When someone´s home and loved ones are in jeopardy and the government seemingly can´t do anything about it, I feel justified in taking matters into my own hands. And I always watch my back."
