Let me tell you this: I have never voted Republican in my life. I do not, by habit, watch, read, or listen to Glenn Beck. But I saw this last night, and I heard with my own two ears what this congressmansaid to what this congressman, Henry Cuellar said to Sheriff Rick Flores, one of his constituents, who asked him a direct question. The discussion included a government plan to supply Mexico with 1.4 billion dollars to upgrade their law enforcement and surveilence. (Who knew? I didn't.). Here is a partial transcript. You can read the whole thing at http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0711/30/gb.01.html
Please note the derision and disrespect the congressman directs at this man, Sheriff Flores. How did we elect such an arrogant poser, and how can we make sure his tenure is over?

CUELLAR: And one of the things that we need to do is that, that`s exactly the point, is we`ve got to realize that the police and the people out there have been outnumbered by the drug cartels and

Drew didn't need help carrying the bin, the step brother says it weighed about 130 pounds. A man can carry that alone.

Why the whole set up with the cell phone? He did not need someone to SEE the caller ID, the phone company records are the proof.

I stayed up half the night trying to figure this one out. I need some sleep. Give me some theories on the motive for this involvement of the step brother PLEASE so I can take a nap.

I think the Clinton campaign staged the entire thing to get Hillary more free press and pity. Naturally the media played right into their hand. It will not come as a surprise when the truth comes out that it was a setup. I just hope it happens before the nomination.

..... but when a teacher in sudan has a class of 23 children and 20 of them vote in favour of naming a teddy mohammed (which happens to be the name of one of the kids), the teacher is somehow insulting islam and so deserves to receive a punishment which breaks international law?

someone please explain how that = insulting islam?

is it because the teacher is WHITE?

is it because the teacher is BRITISH?

is it because the teacher is a WOMAN?

is it because the school in question is run by a "council whose members represent the different CHRISTIAN denominations found in the city" ?

surely not!

i had no idea sudan was immune from the UN declaration of human rights...

http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html

Article 19.

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

Islamic or Christian? The US is not a deeply fantatical Christian country. Some people who live in the US are crazy like the Baptist Chuch who protests gay and war funerals. If that was the majority of the extremists who live in the US we would be no different than Iraq, Iran, or the Middle East. However, with issues like the teacher and teddy bear incident in Sudan and Muslims calling for her head?! I just find that any country where the majority of people who are deeply rooted in their faith questionable with regards to achieving a sense of democracy or a stablized country.

I really don't see it happening.
