AZ Gov. Jan Brewer’s testy tarmac encounter with President Obama has done wonders for the sales of her book, “Scorpions For Breakfast.”
Before the incident happened, Brewer’s book was sitting way down on the Amazon.com sales list, somewhere around number 343,222.
As the story gained traction, so did book sales. By mid-morning on Thursday, “Breakfast With Scorpions” had jumped several hundred thousand places to #56. A little later in the day, in the afternoon, she was up to #20. And this morning, Jan Brewer has a Top 10 Bestseller on Amazon.
Talk about publicity. Take our poll on the topic of Brewer’s book and the incident on the tarmac.

Posted on January 28, 2012 at 6:50amI‘m glad that Jan Brewer’s book has now reached the top ten on Amazon! Americans need to know what’s really happening along our southern border and how our federal government is deliberately failing to secure our border.
A wide-open southern border is an open invitation to all invaders and with it, comes rampant crime and corruption. What is happening in Arizona is quickly spreading throughout the rest of America, and we deserve far better.
Our federal government must perform one of its most basic duties by upholding the rule of law and protecting the safety and security of the American people… Our lives depend on it.

Posted on January 27, 2012 at 1:04pmI’ve heard a talk show host say the “liberalism has the opposite effect of its stated intent”. It looks like that’s the case here, too. Most people, including myself, didn’t know and/or didn’t care about the contents of her book. This liberal POS was mad that she “exposed” something about him, but VERY FEW people knew about what she said. As a result of this liberals’ response, the last I looked, it was at #9 on the Amazon.com bestseller list. it looks like MANY MORE people will know what she said, which is the exact opposite of what he wanted to happen. I have “jumped on the bandwagon” and bought it today. WAY TO GO, JAN!

Posted on January 27, 2012 at 8:59amMAObama can’t help himself. He only respects one thing in this world – his reflection in the mirror.
He immediately was disrespectful of Governor Jan Brewer with his first words. She welcomed him as Mr. President. He responded with: “Hello, Jan.” He simply is incapable of showing anyone any respect, he expects absolute deference, but will not give the Governor of Arizona the courtesy of addressing her by her title: G-O-V-E-R-N-O-R!

Actually, a state like Arizona could force Obama into a corner by adopting a tough stance on immigrants, irrespective of what the government likes.
All any state would have to do is enforce immigration law based on the Constitution and other existing laws.
Can you imagine the angst among the open border advocates if Az, Tx, NM, Ca (as a group) started to round up illegals or not allow them to vote w/o a valid ID? How about NJ, and all the other states that are deluged by illegals. Only states like Vt, NH, and Maine are not heavily burdened. What would Obama do, exactly?
Invade Arizona, for example?
Arrest and jail the governor and Joe Arpaio?
What a pickle this Marxist prez would be in.
Do you think he would be re-elected if he prosecuted Americans for enforcing immigration laws?
His hand has to be enforced at some point, as we cannot continue to allow people who have no intention of becoming Americans with allegiance to ‘our’ flag to pour into this country.
This is all tied into the UN’s plan for one-world currency and one-world gov.
Read about Bretten Woods (1944) and do a search on Harry Dexter White. He was Roosevelt’s Asst. Sec. of Treasury. He acted with impunity as to his foreign policy agenda, answering to no one but himself.

Posted on January 27, 2012 at 9:28amThe Marxist heathen has already sued Arizona as you know for trying to protect it‘s sovereignty so it wouldn’t surprise me if he sent in the brown shirts to keep that border wide open.The Marxist regime has been persecuting Arpaio since he was installed in 08.Arpaio has enforced the law with regards to illegals and Barry won’t stand for that,he needs those illegals to vote for him so he can continue his assault on the constitution.Do I think he’ll be re-elected? For the sake of our republic I sure hope not because four more years of this Marxist POS and we are finished.
The amount of illegals invading our country is sickening and when we get a president who governs within the bounds of the constitution is when we’ll see our immigration laws enforced to the fullest.
