Poor Pat Tillman has to be rolling in his grave....and his family has to be sick to their stomach already. When is it going to stop?

If you’re caught speeding, you’re very likely to be fined, receive points on your licence or even banned if you’re caught going fast enough.

This may be fair enough in most cases, but what if you’re on a long straight empty road, in a perfectly serviced car, sober and in perfect control of the vehicle and the reason you’re speeding is a family emergency?

In a 2 year period I’ve seen on numerous police without flashing lights or horns sounding, speeding/doing u-turns in locations that for you & me would be deemed illegal, parking on double yellow lines with two wheels on the pavement while they pick up a meal in fast food outlets, and worse.

You or I may plead ignorance of a rule and be told ignorance of a rule is no defence, but the police are the ones who are charged with enforcing the law, so who polices the police?

If the Republicans are so big on "family values" then why is it them who love wars so much?

I am a medical student and also doing research within the university on mitochondrial ageing. I also have a small lab in the basement of my house. Sometimes I get samples of chemicals and tubes, etc. because I tell them that I am medical student but when they ask me for the address of the university I always give them my home address and so the chemicals arrive at my house (samples are of course small quantities.) The question is would this be considered fraud? could I possibly get into some kind of trouble? Of course I do not make any illegal drugs or explosives, merely doing scientific work at home, sometimes.

While we're at it which prominent Democrat said:

#1 "I want you, to hear directly from me what is at stake for America in the Persian Gulf, what we are doing to protect the peace, the security, the freedom we cherish, why we have taken the position we have taken...Those who have questioned the United States in this moment, I would argue, are living only in the moment. They have neither remembered the past nor imagined the future...Saddam Hussein's regime threatens the safety of his people, the stability of his region and the security of all the rest of us...And some day, some way, I guarantee you, he'll use his arsenal.

#2 "If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction."

#3 "One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."

out side the night clubs and pubs in Burnley , the chewing gum on the pavement looks like a patterned carpet, surley this is more of a menace (more costly) than *** ends. also the government will make your council tax go up to fight the *** end problem because they are not giving more money to the councils to cover the clean up, where will this madness end.

when will the non smokers get their heads from up their a***s and stop bowing down to the labour (patronising knowitall) think tanks that realy decides policy in this country,
ps where is the democracy in that?
pps THE WEBSITE HAS BLANKED OUT THE WORD *** INCASE IT OFFENDS, A HUGE SIGN THAT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS HAS GONE TO FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First, I read the Government has paid out billions in subsidies to farmers who have been dead for over five years. Then I read that my Government just sold spare parts for the F 14 fighter jet, to the public! And the only country that still us uses the F 14, is Iran.

"Since the Second World War, various political leaders have fostered fear in the American people - fear of communism, fear of terrorism, fear of immigrants, fear of people based on race and religion, fears of gays and lesbians in love who just want to get married. Fear of people who are just different. It is fear that allows our political leaders to manipulate us all and to distort our national priorities."
- Mike Gravel

Although i am still an obama supporter i think gravel hit the nail on the head when he said this. what do you think of it??

It would appear that The Left's strategy of Balkanizing America by breaking it down into allegedly victimized special interest groups that compete for preferential treatment is (predictably) blowing up in its face, as each "oppressed" clan tries to out-snivel the others:

July 31, 2007 -- Three veteran workers at the state's Human Rights Division have lobbed federal lawsuits at the agency, charging a bizarre pattern of discrimination that hurts women and blacks in favor of gay white men

http://www.nypost.com/seven/07312007/news/nationalnews/gay_white__males_suit_nationalnews_kati_cornell.htm

Hmm, apparently they didn't get the Left's memo - it's the white hetero Christian male that is the source of all evil in the world, and the oppresed groups must work together to destroy him - right libs?

I'd like to know how many of you have a diverse array of political leanings (liberal, moderate, conservative, Repub, Dem) within your circle of friends and family. Do you live in a mainly Republican area and so don't really know many Democrats, or the other way around? Does everyone you know intimately feel the same as you do about politics or are you exposed to different outlooks and ideas on a regular basis?

Do you discuss politics with people in real life who differ in their political beliefs with you, or just in this forum?

Thanks!

When the reality is they are all fanatic nationalists. Better at abducting random foreign nationals. I dont see how they can appropriate the word patriotism. Clearly the least patriotic is a team that supports voter caging, flat out stealing elections, selling out the Constitution for imaginary protection among other things.

That makes him Ineligible to work in any federal law enforcement agency in the US. So my question is if he can't join the FBI or DEA then in some way should't that prevent him from overseeing them and appointing there directors?

You know?

They (the Democratic Party) COULD absolutely blow this election out of the water...

But, NOOOOOOOOOOOO, they have to come up with Hillary and Obama, which will NEVER happen.

They have Hillary....yeah...that's just what we need...Bush Clinton Bush Clinton…then what Jeb Bush?? Why don't you people just crown them already...

Then there is Obama...who has NO experience and is already talking about going into Pakistan....Aren't we already in a war that no one wants to be in?

Can't you people find ONE good candidate? You mean to tell me that the Dems HAVE this next election and THIS is the best that they could find?????

Are the Dems on a secret mission to get another Republican elected? If they are, and they keep these two...you succeeded in your mission!!!!
