This Is Not A Democracy, It's A Republic........
Wipe yourself up there jen.
I hate them too!
Send the ACLU a Merry Christmas! card.
Waaay to go Chargers!
Take care jen
FTGF!
On the plus side, the ACLU quietly dropped their constitutional objections to the Patriot Act last week...
The ACLU is going to get to the point that even their most liberal followers are going to think that they are too liberal - besides, the African American voter is sick of the left and the ACLU's victim attitude - and more and more black Americans are moving to the right.
RFTR- Oh yeah, that's great!

Do you want to know why RFTR?
It's because they think that the Liberals are going to win big time so they won't have to pursue it further.
If they just passed a law that made cocaine offenses punishable with the same penalities as crack offenses, we wouldn't be having this argument.
The only people who'd argue against that are the people who enjoy the odd snort of charlie. The fact that this wasn't ALREADY passed suggested it's not sherbert on the end of some of the lawmaker's noses.
Senator Robert Byrd (D) first proposed the mandatory minimum sentence provisions of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act. The democrats, Tip O'Neill specifically, saw a political opportunity to "get tough" on the war on drugs and pushed the act through the House and cajoled the Senate to approve it.
Why is there no mention of the democrats being responsible for the "black mans" plight?
They've been against blacks from the get go. They voted against the Civil Rights act and every action they have taken after that has done nothing to to help anyone but themselves.
Interesting we have went from the war on Islamofacists back to the war on drugs from a bunch of thugs.
I wonder does that mean to the Liberals that drugs are more deadly to all Americans than a bunch of Crazy Islamofacists weilding weapons are?
Actually, Night Rider, drugs probably ARE more damaging to the infrastructure of the United States than the islamofascists.
Not to mention, the enemies of America promote drug traffic into the country (one of the good reasons to get Heroin rich Afghanistan out of the hands of the Taliban.)
Terrorists often use drug trade to raise money (the IRA did and continue to do so, bastards.)
Roland Hulme
I don't disagree but if we keep our eye of the ball to long we could end up with another 911 surprise.
...'drugs probably ARE more damaging to the infrastructure of the United States than the islamofascists.'
I like your use of words and logic,
'probably' and 'ARE'.
Which is it? 'Probably' or 'ARE' (?)
So snorting some cocaine is more damaging than flying an airplane into a building? hmmm
True islamofascists use drug money to fund their terrorism. And that is why we freeze their assets.
Not to support the IRA use of drug money, but why won't the British give back Northern Ireland to the Irish?
FTGF!
Ever watched an episode of Cops???? You can clearly see what drugs are doing to this country.
Jenn
I don't have to watch an episode of cops, around here all you have to do to watch an episode of cops is to step outdoors for awhile.
Jenn
If you don't beleive me what I just wrote above, ask Teaparty why they call Minneapolis -> Murderapolis.
My nephew is a cop.I could tell you many stories.
I have not turned a blind side to what drugs do to society. But to ascertain that...'drugs probably ARE more damaging to the infrastructure of the United States than the islamofascist', Is an opinion. Summed up those words; 'probably' and 'ARE'.
And to what constitutes the 'infastructure'?
I saw a plane flying into an 'infastructure'.
Jenn
Here in Minneapolis, we don't only have "drive by shootings" we also have "walk by shootings" "Bike Ride By Shootings" "Taxi Cab By Shootings" "Bus Ride By Shootings" down by the lake we also have "Swim By Shootings" Even in the gang members the youth are also into "Trike By Shootings"
Jenn
Not more than 10 days ago, a youth from one of the major gang members on the north side on his Trike shot one of the major gang members on the south side who was driving by in his car.
Here in Minneapolis the crime is out of control.
Hey Daniel,
Almost 3,000 people were brutally murdered on 9/11. If one person a day since that date has died as a result of drugs bought into the country by America's enemies, they're 2 thirds of the way to catching up with that figure by now.
Plus, 9/11 was funded somehow - probably in part by money raised by the drugs trade. After all, Afghanistan's biggest export used to be opium.
By the way - if your understanding of the Northern Ireland situation is "why doesn't Britain give it back" then you obviously don't have a CLUE.

Actually, one of the biggest problems we have at our borders are definately DRUGS. We need to SHUT THEM DOWN.
One of the ways illegal immigrants "pay" to be helped across the border is to act as a drugs mule.
"We need to SHUT THEM DOWN."
Not if the democrats win the house we won't. Nancy Pelosi has voted against every measure that would either fight illegals, deny them benefits or make it easier to seal the border. She's looking out for one thing only ... herself.
WE Darwin, WE. My WE does not include Nancy Pest-osi. 
"WE Darwin, WE. My WE does not include Nancy Pest-osi."
You're right. But she's still doing everything she can to enhance the profitability of her vineyards.
It's almost criminal to the extent of treason.
Apparently treason is not a crime anymore. If it were, wouldn't the editors @ Newsweek and the NYT be in prison, or in front of a firing squad?

No doubt. Wouldn't it be great if we had something like a subsect of the Republican party? An organization that had no political representatives except the members in it who all promised to vote, or not. The numbers could be enormous. Talk about politicians sitting up and taking notice. We could let our stance or feeling about issues be known, for example how treasonous we feel the Times is and that it should be prosecuted.
'By the way - if your understanding of the Northern Ireland situation is "why doesn't Britain give it back" then you obviously don't have a CLUE.'
Your asumption to my question does not answer the question roland.
Care to answer the question roland?
FTGF!
What I was saying about your commet roland, is whether it is TRUE or whether it is YOUR opinion?
Shut them down? I seem to remember something in a far away land called freedom of association?
Hey Daniel! Thanks for your comment on the blog. By the way - I didn't get my red hair from eating a lot of carrots.
The situation in Northern Ireland has been this - the majority of the population are unionist - they want to remain part of great Britain. Yes, this is entirely because Britain shipped them there years and years and years ago. But it doesn't detract from the point that the majority of the native population wanted to remain part of great Britain. If you took a general vote tomorrow in Northern Ireland, the majority of the population would vote to remain part of the union.
You believe in democracy, right?
HOWEVER - the catholic/Irish population is growing much quicker than the protestant one, so in a few years the situation might be totally reversed. Then we'll see what develops.
The real reason is that nobody in Britain really cares that much about the Northern Ireland question - we'd be happy supporting whatever the people want - it's just WE WILL NOT be dictated to by a bunch of cowards with guns.
And while we're on the subject, Daniel, your opinion on the Irish Question must presumably mean you'd like the Isrealis to pack their bags and hand everything back to the Palestinians as well, right?
The fact of the matter is that having Irish blood makes you a lot of good things - but it doesn't make you an expert on Northern Irish politics. Evidently.
Shut them down? I seem to remember something in a far away land called freedom of association?
You stupid, irrational, "feeling, not thinking" leftard twit! "Freedom of association" does NOT, in any land near or far, equal "freedom of non-citizens to break our sovereign nation's laws on entry into this country." Only a buffoon would think that way!
Hell, why stop there? How about I come over to YOUR house, sneak in the window, and camp out in your mommy and daddy's cellar while raiding your refrigerator...all against your will? After all, I have CHOSEN to "associate" with YOU and YOUR family!
Holy shiite, little girl...are you in high school or something? If so, I weep for the direction our country is heading!
YOU, do not not have to give me a 'teaching lesson' red.
Patronizing egotistical know it all, huh.
It STILL does not answer the question moron. You are being defensive and accusational.
And to pull the Israeli card has NOTHING to due with Ireland!
That is so leftist and liberal.
Do you even know where the jews came from?
If I recall No british personage can trace back their roots to Ireland.
FTGF! EGB! IRE!!
Just about half the population of Liverpool can trace their heritage back to Ireland.
Fine. Here we go:
The reason Britain doesn't 'give back' Northern Ireland to the Irish is twofold.
Firstly, the majority of the population in Northern Ireland consider themselves British, rather than Irish. This is because most of them are descended from British immigrants. The fact that this is where they come from does not alter the fact that the MAJORITY of the population wish to remain part of Great Britain.
If you had an election tomorrow, the population would vote to remain part of Great Britain. Democracy at work. IRA represents a minority (in actual fact they represent nobody but themselves, hence rebranding themselves 'direct action against drugs' and beating people up during the ceasefire. People unconnected to drugs, incidently.)
Secondly, you are assuming that the Republic of Ireland wants Northern Ireland back. The idea of repatriating the entire population of a small country (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are all countries that form the nation of Great Britain) is mind boggling. Imagine the potential for fraud as hundreds of thousands of people apply for new passports and citizenship. Imagine what it would feel like to lose 20% of your savings as they are converted to euros. No, not realistic at all.
If you SERIOUSLY support the IRA and wish for Northern Ireland to become part of the Republic of Ireland I put it to you that you SUPPORT TERRORISM and HATE DEMOCRACY.
Your website lists good, aspirational American values. Please tell me you actually believe in them.
