arrest warrant over her lawn? must have been a slow day at police HQ. Oh, I almost forgot, they came to her home 'to protect and to serve'. right.

And/or the politicians that make the rules.

I've written this on the forum before, but it applies again:

"The government fearing the people is Liberty. The people fearing the government is tyranny."

It starts at the top. Proper leadership in this country would prevent this sort of thing from becoming more and more common.

They don't wear jackboots and they don't goosestep, but they're the same.

Do you plan to just sit on your front porch rocker, kvetch, and watch the world pass by, or do you plan to do something about it?

I've told you before Paul, your goading doesn't work anymore.

You call it a goad - I call it a fair question.

It's just that you are the forum right-wing mouthpiece for all that is wrong in the U.S., especially since Obama took office. I was just wondering if you were all fluff and bombast, or if you actually plan to do something, anything, other than carping and complaining. You know, like join a political action committee, run for elected office, even write a snarky letter to your congressman...

Something?

Anything?

He already is doing something about it - posting on OD. A place where everthing is talked about and then the talking gets talked about.

Ah yes..OD, the place where all the worlds ill's will be cured by some angry,white,overweight,over-the-hill Mericans, who have all the answers.

That video would be infuriating to anyone who watches. What an outrageous misuse of 5(?) police officers. The news reporter seemed to be stuck on the event itself and didn’t comprehend the grotesque over-use of city piglets at the scene.

Anyone wanna bet there is a Winchell’s within a couple of blocks?
