I personally do not believe we have had any president that truly believed in the Constitution since Jefferson! It has been down hill since at least Lincoln and his war of conquest. The upcoming 2008 elections are not offering anybody worth anything. I really like Ron Paul, but I have serious...

I don't know whether it is technically "illegal" or not, but they can and do steal money from hard working people with NO connection to any type of crime and keep it. Did all of you miss the recent case in Nebraska where a man of Hispanic descent was pulled over for speeding? He was driving back...

I certainly do hope that idiot Nagin and his lackey are taken to task for this, but I won't hold my breath.

Joab is just an apologist, he will justify anything the police do no matter what the facts of the case are. In this case, clearly there were other, better options available to the officer and he deliberately chose to endanger several people with his lack of responsibility. He should be...

Joab, you distinctly said that the police put themselves in harm's way, that implies they have a dangerous job. They do not. All of the people who actually do have dangerous jobs put themselves in harm's way by merely clocking in. What to OSHA regulations have to do with whether a job is...

Obama is cut from the same cloth as Clinton, a slimy snake oil salesman that speaks out of both sides of his mouth. I wouldn't support him if he were running for dog catcher, but the people of Chicago have elected him senator for the entire State of Illinois and now we all must suffer him for at...

Training phase of life? That's a good one! Sorry, but I used to believe as you did when I was young, impressionable and still wet behind the ears. Before I shook off that public school and university indoctrination and started finding out for myself what is being done in our name. I have a...

Typical head in the sand response from the apologists. I have stated quite clearly that my town has a stellar police department. I made it quite clear that I have several friends on the Chicago PD as well. As I happen to be a fairly good driver, I don't get pulled over very often. Last time was...

What does my livelihood have to do with this discussion?

While searching for my CHP link, I did come across this quote from the California Appellate Court: "Police officers have no affirmative statutory duty to do anything.”[7] In this article: http://psacake.com/dial_911.asp It seems there are many rulings and cases where the police were...

If the response at Columbine was SOP at the time, why did they need a SWAT team at all? I mean, if they were just going to sit around and wait for the bad guys to surrender, regular beat cops could have done that. And, why is it that the SOP for shots fired in a school is sitting around and...

I have been trying, with no luck so far, to find the California case from a couple of years ago. A CHP Patrolman watched a car go over an embankment and crash to the ground below. He hopped on his motorcycle and drove off, not bothering to call it in. The man died, the family found out about the...

Civilian control of the military is a GOOD thing. However, technically speaking, the President isn't the CIC until called into actual service, i.e. Congress declares war. Also, technically we should have no standing army, the Constitution provides only for maintaining a Navy. If we didn't spend...

Then you simply do not know what you are talking about. With the rise of SWAT teams, Clinton and Reno's militarization of the police, my Chicago cop friends getting out and telling me they can't stand the way things are going and this...

Say what you will, but anyone paying attention to the fact that the police are getting ever more hostile and reckless is not "cop bashing." I think it is mostly people who live in the past or a fantasy world who resort to that. I know several cops on the Chicago PD and they are leaving in...

Another persecutor looking to pad his resume. Good shoot, this guy should not have been convicted.

Another shoot first, ask questions later. Why was this cop at the house in the first place? Didn't sound like anyone called them, the officer just decided to show up and cause a little trauma to those children.

I like my Marlin 1895GS as an all around rifle and as a bear defense rifle. If you surf Randy's site, I think you will find his ammo in a Marlin Guide Gun is hard to beat: http://www.garrettcartridges.com/ Even out-penetrates the .458 Win Mag.

The public good, common good, general welfare, etc. are all vague and nebulous terms. I maintain there is no such thing as the public good. For what might be considered the public good for some will most assuredly not be seen as good for others.

I agree with Zero.
