Thanks to several people who sent me the post above.
It clearly is making its rounds on the 'net. However, if
it were up to me, I'd substitute the word "idiots" with
"liberals" (or "socialists"). Just sayin'...

Actually if you read the article, he was not arrested. He was placed in psychiatric hospital. Not that I'm condoning it, but since 9/11 and the extensive powers that were granted under Bush, the idea of a threat has become cornerstone in pro-active police work.
With the other , you are reaching.
The third is interesting in that even the framers figured the constitution had a "best before" date and was not sacred in its words or intent.

"Officials insist the seizure was not an arrest because there are no criminal charges, but an ACLU investigator disagrees, “I have reviewed the video of Mr. Raub's arrest. According to federal statute, when the police restrained the subject with handcuffs and stopped him from moving about under his own free will, at that point the subject was, in fact, under arrest. The fact that he was not read his Miranda Rights is another violation."
The third instance cited was a preacher being arrested for praying on the street. I don't care if it is an anti war protestor or a Christian preacher- both these occurrances were wrong.
As for your thoughts on an expiration date on the Constitution - Your willingness to hand over rights that hundreds of thousands of Americans died to protect is very telling of your "constitution".
MGarber - Jan 04, 2013 11:08 AM
(You *are* a fan of the ACLU, right Mucho?).
The 3rd one is a case of violating a longstanding local (we aint talkin Big Brother here) ordinance which probably should be challanged as well.
Im not sure how your last 3 paragraphs relate to anything.
jman99 - Jan 04, 2013 11:35 AM
I did no such thing. You are beginning to sound Hayettesque.

As for the trend of the Left to cherry pick the Constitution and call for it to be more flexible and "living" - that relates to the following quips in hemmer's BLOG:
"Being self-sufficient is considered a threat to the government." (Obamacare's insistence that public purchase their product)
"Using the "N" word is considered "hate speech" but writing and singing songs about raping women and killing cops is considered "art". (Selective application of 1st amendment)
"Being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you "safe". (Current attack on 2nd ammendment instead of root cause)
"Politicians think that stripping away the amendments to the constitution is really protecting the rights of the people." (Pretty broad statement here)
While I agree with the irony found in many of the one liners above, blaming it all on one party is ridiculous. All the "good intent" behind legislation is lost whenever it intrudes on our God given rights. The Constitution (w/ Bill of Rights)does as good a job as any stating what those are.

government,everything you said could be said about the republican party!
MGarber - Jan 04, 2013 2:53 PM
BTW. This whole item has to do with social norms and has nothing to do with the way anybody's "Running" anything.
BTW. Django Unchained. See it!

And its about 2 hours long.
it is NOT a "great" movie (I had issues with some of the editing, and its length), but it will, I beleive, be recognized as an important movie. The acting, from everyone, is top notch.
It IS sort of amazing that this country has largely ignored the legacy of slavery (one of our less-than-exceptional moments) in terms of popular culture. Alex Haley (Roots) took a good shot at it, but that was pretty much it asside from Blazing Saddles.
Mucho - Jan 04, 2013 5:02 PM
Apparently you don't listen to the radio or sing in church. Blues, jazz, gospel music is a pretty significant part of our culture.
As for the legacy, we have some awesome new TV shows popping up:

Ice Loves Coco.... It's wonderful family entertainment, just like Tarantino's new movie where racist Jamie Fox gets to live out his dream.
We will never stop paying for slavery in this country.

You know we are designed by geniuses and definitely run by idiots when our elections are won and lost by fraud. All the states that have voter ID, Romney won. http://www.facebook.com/wews5/posts/10151536624089922

Oh how soon you forget. What a shame. Gotch ya Mr
“Not surprisingly, in all the lies and accusations of racism by the radical left wing, the truth becomes distorted not only about the Republicans but also the Democrats who make these accusations themselves. For instance, you may or may not have heard Democrat Senator Robert Byrd's outburst of racist bigoted slurs, more specifically the "n-word," on national television in March of 2001. Amazingly, this incident of blatant racism on national television drew barely a peep from the NAACP, Jesse Jackson, Julian Bond, Mary Frances Berry, or any of the other ambulance chasers who purport themselves to be the leaders of the civil rights movement. In contrast, the main source of well deserved criticism for Byrd's racist outburst came not from any of the so called leaders of the civil rights movement but from from Republican Majority Leader Dick Armey (source). The race hustlers Jackson, Mfume et al turned a blind eye towards this act of racism by one of their own party, at most issuing an unpublicized slap on the wrist, or, as was more often the case, making not a peep. But where the race hustlers turn a blind eye and spew their lies, it is up to conservatives to set the record straight with the truth.
In response to the growing practice of racial McCarthyism by prominent left wing Democrats, it is necessary to expose the truth about the Democrat Party's record on Civil Rights:

which was never intended to be family entertainment.
"....where racist Jamie Fox gets to live out his dream."
You've seen the movie? Didnt think so.
"We will never stop paying for slavery in this country. "
It sounds like you never started.
There was white trash long before FlavoFlav.

Are you denying this?
"Using the "N" word is considered "hate speech" but
writing and singing songs about raping women and
killing cops is considered "art".

You know this country is run by idiots (the press for example) when so many Democrats complain about Bush and Cheney making money on the oil industry while Al Gore just made even more from the oil industry than both combined. Our press refuses to report this and the Democrats ignore it.
