People would ask me who I wanted for president, presumably expecting me to choose between Barack Obama or John McCain. I would answer, "I'll put it this way... I'm really sad that Ron Paul will never be president". I'm still sad about that, but I also still believe that he's the only candidate who was truly qualified to be president.

Britain responds to the "rule of law" nuisance
When the Bush administration agreed to release Australian David Hicks after almost 6 years in captivity, they did so only on the condition that he first sign a document stating that he was not abused and that he also agree -- as The Australian put it -- to an "extraordinary 12-month gag order that prevent[ed] Hicks from speaking publicly about the actions to which he has pleaded guilty or the circumstances surrounding his capture, interrogation and detention," a gag order which "also silence[d] family members and any third party."
So, the United States expects it's prisoners to observe a legal document, but that same government does not hold itself to legal documents that it is signatory to. Can you spell h-y-p-o-c-r-i-t-e?

Ok... the President does not pass laws, Congress does. But if the Democratic President
Wants something, do you thing the Democratic Congress will deny him? Same as it was with
The Republican thugs, the Democratic thugs rubber stamp each other. Goodbye Fourth Amendment,
It was good while it lasted.
"Israel must see that there are consequences to its actions"

So many "Christians" don't think so. Israel is not to be criticized. They are free to do as they please and are not to be held accountable, apparently because a 5,000 year old Jewish book says not to 'curse Israel'.

Defending Israel from criticism by screaming "You only hate the Jews" is like defending Nazis from criticism by screaming "You only hate Germans!" - Mike Rivero, What Really Happened
Please tell me, where is Israel headed?

In a guest post on Stephen Walt’s Foreign Policy blog John Mearsheimer argues that unless the US government stands up to the lobby, there are only two possible outcomes in Palestine: ethnic cleansing or apartheid. Personally, I favour the third, even if its a novel one: one person, one vote. Otherwise we will have to endure longer the racist state in our midst.

1 dead, one injured in Miami Burger King shooting
http://www.miamiherald.com/news/breaking-news/story/965735.html
Police said a man wearing a ski mask walked into the store at Biscayne Boulevard and 54th Street and demanded money from a clerk.
A customer, who has a concealed weapons permit, pulled a gun, said Officer Jeff Giordano, a Miami police spokesman.
The customer and robber exchanged fire.
The robber was shot dead at the scene.
The above link is 404 - not found. Interesting that a story about an intelligent citizen with a gun taking down a criminal with a gun is suddenly unavailable. Maybe they don't want you to believe that the Second Amendment to the Constitution is a good thing. That people can actually protect themselves. That the police can't actually prevent crime, they can only document it and maybe investigate it, but they're primarily concerned with their own safety, not yours.
Here in Spokane, a police officer was recently aquitted of shooting an unarmed citizen while drunk and off duty because he thought the victim was trying to steal his truck. Even tho he'd followed the victim in said truck prior to shooting him. So, here in Spokane, any police officer, on or off duty, can fire upon any unarmed citizen of Spokane for any reason with impunity. Do you still believe you live in a free country?
