I was thinking along the lines of advising her to invest a large supply of earplugs, if she's that offended.
That Jan Schakowsky would have a problem with Dr Carson's monologue is no surprise, it runs along the same line as Nancy Pelosi backing every "Separation of Church and State" point that comes through the House of Representatives, then hypocritically going before the assembly of Catholic Elders in California and tell them that it is their duty to "Speak from the pulpit" in favor of illegal immigrant amnesty. Democrat...Hypocrisy is thy watchword.
Next up... a state wide shut down for wind up, spring driven, mechanical, alarm clocks and felony convictions for all who use them.
The launcher is an AT-4. Before the military started recycling everything, I bought 30 of the empty tubes from the AT-4s predecessor (The M72 LAW). I got them from a military Property Disposal sale on an Army base, they were part of a box lot for which I paid $25.00, so yes the guy who turned in the "Rocket Launchers", got a heck of a bargain. The tax payers, not so much.
Now the people of LA get to look forward to a city government with a mentality that says if you get too loud celebrating New Years, you will be arrested and prosecuted. The people of LA must love to be intimidated by those they elect.
How nice, the LAPD "got weapons off the street", but I'd like KTLA to post the rest of the story. The "launcher" in the story is an AT-4. It is a fiberglass tube loaded with an 80mm rocket, it is non reloadable and becomes a section of pipe So, unless the officer in the picture is comfortable waving an anti armor rocket around (which in the building they appear to be standing, would severly damage the building and kill or maim everyone in the room) I must assume that the AT-4 has already been expended and the "launcher" is merely not truely a weapon but is now merely a hollow tube. In the video there is an AT4 which is held by the cop and the one standing on end is an M72A2 LAW, both expended. So congratulations to Mayor Villaraigosa, you just blew hard earned tax payers money to get a piece of waterpipe off the street, but you did get a good PR snap out of it. Sadly the public in LA is apparently too clueless to know that they are being taken by the charlatan in the Mayors office. Have a nice day paying when your city taxes go up to cover this expenditure.
I am wondering... When our country cannot get kids to pass exams in basic skills (reading, writing and basic math), why are they wasting time and money teaching cultural sensitivity of any kind. There is no logical reason for the teacher to be teaching Islamic hand signs. There is more to this than meets the eye.
Interesting that all that is being discussed here is the assault. Had this teacher been teaching Christian Religion and Religious practices, and required all students yo commit to Prayer to Jesus, the left would be in a "conniption fit" over the "Separation of Church and State."
I see nothing wrong with a teacher "lecturing on Islam", but when the kids are forced to participate, the teacher had crossed the line.
Maybe after she finished with her course in physical injury by way of assault in pursuit of Islamic tradition , she can demand that the student wear a Crucifix or Star of David on a neck chain for a few weeks, then we can move on to requiring all girls to practice sexual abstinence, in accordance with Amish Tradition and demand that the boy all wear black suit with beards for a while.
Yep, five more years of running on broken promises and turning the once great U.S. in the worlds most in debt welfare state. If there are people clueless enough to vote for this meathead. But then the polls do show that half of those polled will vote for him. But they will have a tough time collecting any taxes from me because when he runs gas up to five bucks a gallon it will no longer profitable for me to go to work, and I refuse to work only to pay his inflated taxes and the oil companies. Looks like I'll still be going it alone, since that is what I have been doing since Obama got his job, but in the future I won't be subsidising this charlatan's moronic policies..
Obama says he supports the OWS movement? Just one more lie from the head DC crook, he does not support OWS, he CREATED OWS, it is funded by the same left wing loons that funded Obama's rise to power, and OWS has been crafting its actions to support the Obama Anti American Agenda.
