“It seems as long as great masses of people allow themselves to be whipped into hysteria by those with their own political agenda, the witch-hunts will continue. The only defenses against modern witch-hunts are education and tolerance for those of differing beliefs” and nationalities. Written by Stuart A. Kallen and found in a book about the Salem Witch Trials.
When a teenage child is shot to death at our borders then we can start to call the immigration issue of the southwestern states a modern day witch-hunt. When the state of Arizona can hunt down and deport innocent women and children whose only crime is their legal statue then we have a modern day witch-hunt. When law abiding individuals can be asked to produce their papers during traffic stops and can be held for long periods of time until their citizenship can be proven then we have a modern day witch-hunt.
Our own Mayor Berry is as guilty as the political leaders of Salem Village from the sixteen hundreds when it comes to enacting policies that will encourage our own police force to conduct modern day witch-hunts of immigrates right here in the City of Albuquerque. Dan Lewis from our city council would enact statues that would encourage our federal government to hunt down women and children for the express purpose of deporting them to a country where many are ending up dead from drug violence.
When are the good people of Albuquerque going to stand-up and demand that this witch-hunt end before more women and children have to dies at the hands of our government? For a nation of immigrates we are setting a poor standard of behavior for other countries to follow.

Quotes:
Senator Edward M. Kennedy (Teddy)
"For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die."
The O'Coilean (O'Collins)
'A great host with whom it is not fortunate to contend, the battle-trooped host of the O'Coileain."
Abraham Lincoln
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
From NPR Radio
"Rosa sat so Martin could walk.
Martin walked so Obama could run.
Obama ran so our children can fly!"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new."

"Friendship is loving someone no matter what is in their past. It is accepting the fact that they are human and that they have made their share of mistakes over a life time. Trust is being able to tell your friend the most private secret knowing that they will not judge you. A life is not lived well without that one true and trusted friendship."
Mary Harris "Mother" Jones
"My job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable"
Albert Einstein
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
Will Rogers
"I don't belong to an organized party--I'm a democrat."
President John F. Kennedy, Democrat
“If by a ‘liberal’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people—their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties—someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a ‘Liberal,’ then I’m proud to say I’m a ‘Liberal.’”
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."
Lora O'Brien
"All I can do is share one person's experiences on her own path, not tell you how to walk yours. If a guru is what you are looking for, find another! If I am a teacher, it is because I am already walking the path that you, Dear Reader, may wish to be on. Although each of us must make our own way, I can put up signs at least, and make the way slightly less hazardous for those who wish to walk a similar path."
C. S. Lewis
"Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives."
