he likes to blow his own horn, besides others, thats why he likes to see men in pink... yeah go figure.

fkn homo joe.

[hvacrdude1]

the word you are looking for is NOT mock , in your title of this video, it is "THREATEN'S" or TAUNT'S.

This guy is just stomping up dirt and stirring the pot, you can damn well bet.

he is full of himself and to make such statements like that he must be a friend of his or has full support somewhere & is tied politically to someone who is tipping him off who, what and how far he can go to get away with civil rights violations

he walks the bounderies like a calculated cold blooded good bad cop

[coltzin12]

Your job Arpaio is not to catch illegals it's ICEs' job.

azlefan,

I challenge you to intelligently rebuff and support Arpaio's statements line for line in this video. A sheriff publicly threatening the BOS Supervisor if he decides to continue to withhold funding? That is not how Democracy works. Are you aware that the same person he is threatening has been his most loyal supporter for years?

You don't even know the form of government we have? We are a Republic, not a Democracy! Learn the difference there is a big one!

[MissouriManiac]

We live in both; you need to learn the difference.

We are a representative Republic on some levels (Mainly the Federal Government) and a pure democracy on others.

The Accurate term for our form of government cannot be defined in as simple words.

Many states allow for policy questions to be decided directly by the people by voting on ballot initiatives or referendums. This is pure democracy.

The idea that we live in a pure form of government in any sense is ignorant. We live in adaptive mix.

[MissouriManiac]

If you want to play the technical game then do so but dont be ignorant about it.

We live in both so both terms can be used to describe the USA

Representative Republic

and Democracy.

By popular usage, however, the word "democracy" come to mean a form of government in which the government derives its power from the people and is accountable to them for the use of that power.

I think that describes the USA just fine.

[RoofMan81]

You are wrong. We have never been a democracy. Ever. We are and have always been a republic. Learn the difference.

[MissouriManiac]

You are wrong, and you need to do some more research on the subject before you look even more stupid.

[azlefan]

Then leave the county. Move to Pima.
