I think police violence should be met with even greater retaliatory violence. It’s the only thing the bullies/cowards seem to understand.

Well the first amendment rights do have limits and to seek those limits is a form of self-abuse. In America, selling T-Shirts to make money seems OK with me! I want one of those T-shirts extra large please. Is that possible Marie Walden?

“The edge is not the extreme; it is the boundary between old, tired beliefs and new, unexplored territory. Those on the edge of the pack are the wild ones whose positions provoke a rethinking of assumptions, who spark epiphanies and change lives. These are the people I want to know.” You definitely want to know me! I seek all of that within grassroots constitutional law as this ongoing raping of our Constitution is getting really old! What those cop bullies did, I do not know, but it is a two-way street, meaning there are bad cops and good police officers. I just want that T-shirt to remind me, it is OK to be on the edge of the pack with our constitutional framers.

While I do support their right to be stupid and ignorant, it is however frightening to see our “public servants” basically becoming thugs of the state. Hitler would be proud of this group of people. This is just more evidence of the building tyranny and a general hardening of hearts that is rampant among the military and police forces of our nation. I am deeply patriotic, and that is why things like this are disturbing. Our government is intended to be an agent of the people, not vice versa. We are amidst the same problems that gave rise to this great nation from the beginning, yet people want to take sides and treat things like they are at a football game. I hope people will start to open their minds and question themselves and the team for which they are playing.

‘We are amidst the same problems that gave rise to this great nation from the beginning, yet people want to take sides and treat things like they are at a football game.’

Stephen, I couldn’t agree more with what you are saying here. To me it has been greatly disturbing to see so many getting themselves into the Rah! Rah! Rah! mode like cheerleaders at some sort of bizarro high stakes college football game. And like at a football game, the political game between the two corporatized political teams is just about as meaningless as whether Texas wins, or Oklahoma does? It is a game and not much besides that.

We do need a political system that is a democracy in action and not a football game though. But I see those who voted for the Democrats no more inclined in going in that direction than the Sarah Palin of religious nuts crowd is. Instead, they are looking for easy solutions, and a football game is just that. It is an easy ’solution’ to dealing with boredom, depression, and the lack of substance to life in America.

I strongly disagree with Jonah’s idea that the next 11 weeks of Dubya’s reign is in any way the real danger we face. No, Jonah, it is the next four years that is the danger to us all. I strongly disagree with the bash the Republicans notion that John McCain-Sarah Palin actually fed into. The Democrats of Obama-Biden-Clinton offer no more solutions than they would have had to the real situation now being faced.

And above all, I disagree with the Democrat Party’s refrain of victory that we should all work together to bring about change. Translated easily enough, that means that they plan to only advance the same program as before. They will be advancing the Republican Program and are looking to work in bipartisan manner with these Dixiecrat corporate forces as they continue the bipartisan American program of terrorist aggression and international militarism. That’s what the Democrats have been doing for the last 16 years… no make that for way more than a century! That is Obama’s political agenda….to do it better than Dubya was doing.

Tony, what makes you think that you are more qualified to address the issues we face than anyone else? What superior knowledge do you possess? What lofty government experience or education enhances your resumé? What workable solutions do you offer?

Watching you bitch and moan and mock and deride doesn’t move anyone to action. Even with insight on your side, your words rarely educate, elucidate, encourage, or motivate anyone. People need inspiration and a shar
