There are a lot of people shouting about illegal activity in a lot of different contexts. And regardless of the situation, one side is saying that breaking the law is acceptable, and someone else is saying that people need to stand trial and pay for their crimes.

Let's take a very simple situation, and deal with a valid law that has been in place for 25 years.

1) Person Breaks the Law.
2) Person Publicly Admits Breaking the Law.
3) Person goes to Trial for Breaking the Law.

That's called the rule of law. That's the way this country is supposed to work. If the person claims: "I was justified in doing that", fine. Just like saying "We needed to do that so people didn't die". Fine. That's called an affirmative defense. Either way, the issues are resolved at trial.

But under what circumstances should we not even bother to have the trial? No charges. No Defenses. No trial at all. When do we ignore the rule of law entirely, and just say that we don't care if the law gets broken?

What is even more pathetic is the second case of military men, those who thought they are educated.

But they can't even order the US Presidents from 1st to 43th.

They don't even know what the Truman Doctrine is.

They don't even know what the Eisenhower Doctrine is.

They don't have the slightest idea of the history of US involvement in the Middle East.

.....And they say they wanna fight in the Iraqi war to protect "our freedom."

Yeah, freedom my a ss.

"Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are sabetuers and should be arrested, exiled or hanged."

Shouldnt this apply to the press as well?

I know for criminal cases cameras/videos as well as reporters are allowed in. How about for a civil lawsuit? Is there anyway to bar the public from the courtroom?

I burned some papers while camping, and later a forest fire started. I was sure it was my fire, even though investigators a few times stated they weren't sure fire started where I was. Stupid me, I just thought it too big of a coincidence that it wouldn't be my fire. So I pleaded guilty of charge of reckless burning. Judge is having me meet with probation person to get further info to determine sentence/restitution. But I found a govt website that states "A report from the crew at the scene indicated that as of 5:30pm, (day of fire) fire was not north of Flick Creek."
But my campsite and where I burned papers was at least a 10 minute walk north of flick creek.
I don't want to pay big bucks to an attorney, just to find out 'the crew' made a mistake in their reporting.
Before I plead I asked to see case documents, but was told they wouldn't be available til after going to court.
Do you know when this info would be accessible to me? (i'm in washington state) Thanks

Do you agree that "noble lies" play a positive role in uniting and guiding politics, and are myths needed to give people meaning and purpose to ensure a stable society?

Have you really suffered or is it just an inborn territorial instinct that makes you against immigration?Also, you hear a lot of old people saying"you would have been talking German if it wasn't for the likes of me"Well I hear everyone where I live talking foreign languages that I dont understand but I believe in live and let live etc. So do people get annoyed hearing others speaking non english in their english speaking country?(U.S. & Britain)

Please post everything that you find untrue in this video with sources. Otherwise, you have no reason to post any Bush loving nonsense. I know it's hard for some of you to believe but.... our President and your TV lied to you. I know, I know, you could never believe it in a million years but, it's true. Post your sources to disprove this video........ can you? I know being woken up suddenly can be traumatic for some of you and you get grumpy. So I will ignore silly posts and you can get back to sleep. Bottom line is that I want you to wake up America - 1) watch this and 2) post your sources to prove anything you find wrong.

It seems republicans jump and ask how high when their leaders say jump.

REPUBLICANS will say that Bush has NEVER LIED
REPUBLICANS will say that Bush has never made mistakes
REPUBLICANS will never Condemn anyone in their party especially the ones arrested from crimes

THEY EVEN SAY NIXON WAS A VICTIM OF THE LEFT WING


Was this mind controlling chip implanted in them at birth?

The democrats like Ted Kennedy and his gang of followers want to hand over this country to illegals and grant them rights that US citizens would land up in jail for, and the republicans like McCain and Bush also feel the same way so they won't lose the hispanic vote,meantime the US taxpayer is the one holding the check,isn't it time for a new party to lead this country,and I don't mean recycled democrats or republicans that lost their primarys,We need a party that is elected by the US citizens and will do for the US citizens,not like the slimy worms we have in Washington right now.
