Sure there may be some cops that are rude for no reason to you, but there's some really nice ones as wellllll.
What if someone was trying to break in your house and they wanted to kill you?
I'm sure you wouldn't have the bravery to go up to that person and do something.
& if it wasn't for the cops, I'm sure alot of us would be dead right now, considering how much people get's DUI's in the USA.
Gives you something to think about,doesn't it?

America, as we know, has a history of assassinating prominent black political leaders, Should we be especially worried for Obama ... God Forbid, but it is a real worry... as everyday he is coming closer to the highest office.

seems the dems won the majority in congress on that premise last fall.

So where do they stand today? Let's see we have reids really nice real estate deals, if I could be so lucky, and then there is the pelosi tuna scam, oh and let's not forget the 40 plus million that feinstein directed towards her companies with her vote on the committee, and then let's please not forget the clinton fundraising issues that will not go away or she will not address honestly.

And now this, the GOP have to tell the dem(wits) that they are the culture of corruption and the GOP will fix it. You will not see this story in the MSM, they do not want you to know that the Dems lie like dogs and are corrupt as Chavez who steals from his country like it is a God given RIGHT.

Dump the dems, culture of corruption.

I hear everyone complaining about illegal immigrants. To tell you the truth, part of me is getting tired of it also. They take over nice areas and bring down property values and line up on the side of the road making neighborhoods look trashy. With all that said, I understand their doing the best they can for their families: I probably wouldnt be doing anything different. I was just blessed to born here and didnt have to stuggle like them. Now to my point.. in 20 years from now baby boomers are going to be retiring. There are not going to be enough people to support them unless we get a huge average age shift to our population. (The AVG age immigrant is around 26... the age of most baby boomers' kids). I argue that in a way, if immigrants would prosper in this country it would help us all in the future. The baby boomers will still get support when they retire and our taxes wont have to go through the roof to get it done. Just a thought... what do you all think?

Well I've heard here lately that it's the environmental wacko's who refused to allow refinieries to be built, since there is a lack of refineries the poor oil companies can't be held liable, also that Congress hasn't granted permission for new refineries, then low and behold on Fox news of all places (Neil Cavuto's business show actually) I learned an astounding piece of info, since 1976 there has only been ONE application by an oil company to build a new refinery and that was in Maricopa County, Arizona. That request was vetted and approved within a year. So you tell me who's really screwing who, the oil companies arguements fall apart when you realize the (expletive deleted) haven't even tried to add capacity, they're also turning a $36.00 per barrel profit as opposed to the $9.00 that was the original target for good profitability, we're getting shafted folks and NOW you know why and WHO to blame so save me all the BS

Why is it “Illegal Mexicans” are the only ones that can’t seem to grasp this concept?

Legal Immigration is NOT the same as “Illegal Immigration” AND… Mexicans are not the only ones.

I have two grandkids that are half “Mexican” and the other half is mutt like me. On the other side of their family, they have two grandparents that came to the U.S. legally, became citizens and even learned the language. They are great people - I enjoy spending time with them as well as sharing our grandkids.

Do it right, or not at all!

My name is *. I am an officer in *,CA through the * office.
On March 6, 2007 at approx 5:45am, the end of shift was approaching. A new officer, ***, who was to come in and relieve my co-worker,***, showed up. This was my first time meeting him and he was speaking about his previous mployer stating "my last employer was hard to work for" He was an Okey, Red Neck, White boy", He was a Slave- Driver, a White N****r" I am a White man and my wife is Black. My wife works with his wife and happened to tell her about the opening because she knew her husband was unemployed. Just before making these comments, He got out of his car and after I introduced myself, said to me "Oh, your the one whose wife helped me get the job" His comments offended me both because I am white and because my wife and my children are Black. As I mentioned before, our wives work together. Mr. ** is well aware of the race of my wife and myself. --- by the way after this, he was promoted,,I reported this 2 months ago.

If you were spanked as a child, and condone spanking your own children as an adult, are you more likely to be a ''Right-winger"? And if you were or weren't spanked as a child, but don't condone spanking children as an adult, are you more likely to be a "Left-winger"? What is your own experience, and what do you think?

With the vast majority of the US population against President Bush, how does he continue his leadership of our country? A democratic government is suppose to elect leaders that are representative of their population, in this case, Bush. The polls show his approval rating below 30% and the support for the Iraq war also well below 40%. What is happening to our country, key word OUR, in the sense that we sit back and let our representatives act against our intentions and beliefs.

I received my 1st jury summons in the mail and I do not want to go. I am pregnant and it's far from my home. I called my doctor's office for a note and the nurse said they provide letters but that they are always denied. So if I can't get out of that how do you get out of jury duty then? Thoughts? Ideas?

I was asked why the age on the voter list is messed up. All you have to do is google errors India Voter ID and you can see why official government docs are all screwed up. The voting list is compiled by some area school head. and he guesses the persons age half the time. It is from the village so he knows everyone, the age is usually off by 1-2 yrs. All the real official documents are right, such as school leaving papers, passport and Birth Certificate.

WAIT PLEASE READ ON!

The city puts off a ticket as "civil" but if I don't pay it I go to jail. That's Criminal. Or else why would the city offer you a "jury trial" for a civil case (of course only if you PLEA first)

The constitution says "In ALL criminal cases, the accused shall have a trial by an impartial jury of his peers".

I get to court, no jury unless I PLEA - not guilty.

By being forced to PLEA, and in consideration that I am being prosecuted criminally when making a PLEA, that means I am being prosecuted for a crime without a jury and being forced to stand before a judge in prosecution without a jury.

That's a felony because the judge and prosecutor perjured his/her oath of office "To protect and defend the constitution" when they denied me my right to a jury trial in a "TRULY" Criminal case.

Americans do not actually know constitutional law to put up with this.

Our founders set the law up for reason! Too many cases to make municipal corporations rich

I have to hear his speaches on the news ( Mumbling and stuttering and raping the english language)

I have to live in a world filled with fear and hate because of his lies about iraq and this illegal war.

He NEVER admits when he's wrong. He actually believes his own lies.

He makes up his mind before hearing the facts .

He hates anyone that doesnt agree with him

He destroyed the American Economy ( Its getting a little better)

He illegally spies on American Citizens when America is NOT a dictatorship yet he acts like one

He leaked the name of a CIA agent and ruined her life.

He lied about WMD and Claimed that he knows exactly where the weapons are but that was also a lie.

He hates poor people and he abandoned Katrina Victims.

AND SO MUCH MORE!

I would like to sue him for 100 TRILLION DOLLARS for all the anxiety he has caused.

Do I have a case? Where can I find a lawyer to try this case?

quoting today...
Clinton argued that she backs U.S. troops but it was time to stand firm as the four-year-old war rages on.

Obama today quoting...
So let's put aside the fear mongering and let's put aside the rhetoric and let's put aside the politics and let's come together and ... all of us support the troops," Obama told a labor gathering in Chicago as he called for bringing the troops home

................................BUT...........................................

Obama and Clinton last week...
A week ago, Clinton and Obama voted to advance a measure that would cut off funding to force a troop withdrawal by March 2008

Obama and Billary last year...
Last year, the two voted against setting a timetable for a pullout, and until recently had avoided any notion of eliminating war money.

This is holding firm and supporting our troops as we come together??? which one is it and why issue marching orders to the Pelosi ites to vote FOR the funding? Only with liberals
