It's full of holes, and there are far more credible versions all over the internet, support by very credible people....version often posted here. Why are some people SO ready to believe and defend the government which has lied so many time, everyone has lost count.

Yes

No

Dont Know what it is

Once again, in a continuing effort to sneak measures past the American public that will empower and grant amnesty to illegal aliens, Stealth Senators are now actually – and amazingly - willing to slide an immigration amendment to a Department of Defense authorization bill (HR 1585) that will accomplish just that, and they are poised to vote on it this week. This amendment is sponsored by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), and is officially Senate Amendment 2237, otherwise known as the DREAM Act

Gold Star Father Kicked Defending Dead Son's Memorial ... by Mélida Arredondo

Mélida Arredondo is the stepmother of Lance Cpl. Alexander S. Arredondo, killed in Iraq, Aug. 25, 2004.

Carlos Arredondo, 47 year old father of two sons, arrived in the nation's capitol on Monday, 09/10/07 to share a memorial he has made to honor for his eldest son, Alex. Carlos has visited thirty of the United States with the traveling memorial to his son Alexander. Lcpl. Alexander S. Arredondo, USMC was killed on 08/25/04. He was 20 years and 20 days old. The memorial consists of a casket, poster- size photographs of Alex when he graduated from boot camp, before his second tour in Iraq, lying in state at his wake, and a photo of Alex with his younger brother Brian.

Saturday, September 15, 2007 consisted of first a rally, a march towards the capitol and then a die-in. Carlos pulled the memorial along the march route approaching the rotunda near the capitol building. Several of the marchers requested for him to speak about the memorial where a crowd gathered around him. After finishing, several people walked with Carlos as he pulled the memorial. Several pictures of Alex dressed in his blues were attached to the display.

As Carlos passed counter protesters, one man ripped a picture of Alex from the memorial. Carlos leaped on the man to retrieve the picture. It was at that point that approximately five others all began to attack Carlos by kicking him in the head, legs, stomach and back.

The Capitol police bicycle patrol then appeared to break up the fight. Several officers including a female officer were engaged in breaking up the fight and were able to stop any further injuries from occurring. Hannah Jones who was walking with Carlos was also assaulted.

A bystander named Ramesh witnessed the whole encounter and also retrieved the picture of Alex for Carlos. He was quite distressed at how he watched the men yelling epithets follow Carlos as he pulled the memorial, and eventually take Alex's photograph. Soon, an ambulance showed up as well as many concerned activists. The paramedics provided first aid to Carlos but he did not seek further medical attention. Carlos sustained bloody cuts on his shins. He also reported bruises all over his torso and head where he was kicked.

I will send updates on Carlos and his work in DC as I am able.

Mélida Arredondo,
Remembering Alex Arredondo and all those
who died too young at war to aid the Iraqi people
and his own nation, the USA,
and while protecting his buddies...

We all know a UF student was tased after asking kerry questions after the forum was over. My question is do you think the officers should have tased him after he was already subdued?

I think this quote sums up my opinion on the matter:
"This guy was obviously an antagonist with a complete disrespect for an invited speaker. He got what he wanted out of the ordeal and should have left when asked -- what did he expect? I don't agree that the officers should have used a stun gun on this poor guy though. It looked like there were enough large officers to subdue this guy without the use of electric shock. He wasn't a threat to anyone, just loud and obnoxious! Bad decision."


There were many officers there and they had him subdued, it doesnt matter how loud he is. they should have dragged him out quickly and throw him in back of a squad car.

I think police abuse there powers and dont follow the law. I think more psychological testing for officers should be warranteed.

I see a lot of post on here saying how 9/11 was preventable and it was a joke becuase the terrorists used box cutters. That right there is the problem. people believe that something as simple as that cant have such devastating affects. Sometimes when you try to prevent against something you overlook the small things. In your personnal life you can safegaurd against bad things and take the normal steps to prevent it but if someone wants to harm you, it will happen and it isnt until after that you take drastic steps to prevent it again. People have this denial attitude that it wont happen to me and that is what happened on 9/11. We got caught with our pants down and hindsight is 20/20 now isnt it? The only ones to blame are the terrorists that perpetrated the crime not our own government.

Your thoughts?

From previous research, some citizens felt if they were prohibited from committing this act, it would be a violation of their "rights." Others, however, believed burning the U.S. flag is a demonstration of non-patriotism.

Based on your knowledge, how do you feel about this and more importantly, why?

And why cant socially conservative Republicans actually own up to the fact that their morally preaching is largely a compensatory deceptive hoax?

No guts to,perhaps? What else?

Larry Craig is gay. Instant Democrat,right?
Nope. He chose to live a lie,preaching against and legislating against who he realy was.

Comfortably nestled in the Republican Party.

Can YOU see that glaring a personal deception against a constituency with a Democrat? Anybody?

What is it about the outlandish moral claims the Republicans make that is so attractive TO fake moralists?

Wisdom? Moral Values? Personal Responsibility?
Nah.Fake morality,thats what.

And oh yeah, I almost forgot, Bill Clinton's a bad guy because he never preached against the kind of sex Democrats usually have...with girls!(oh the horror) LOL
