One wonders if they would close the borders if it was smallpox or ebola . No one has been vaccinated against smallpox in the US since 1967 except the military and that was stopped in 1990. They say closing the borders will not stop the spread of the disease but it certainly couldn't increase the spread. Why do they always error on the side of someone else? Just once, wouldn't you think, they would error on the side of the US without considering the effect on other countries.
Dick Cheney is one of my favorite politicians of all time. It is hard to point to an incident wherein he abrogated his integrity to public opinion. People confuse arrogance with confidence. Cheney is confident in his own judgment. When asked about people who disagree with him he says they are entitled to their opinion, or he says I don't think about them.

It should be instructive to us that the Justices that are opposed to cameras are liberal.
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has it exactly ass backwards. Persons like herself are cheapening are the Boston tea party, the constitution and the envy of the world; the American way of life. The democrats have used "our " tax money to buy votes for the last 30 years. The only thing worse than taxation without representation is representation without taxation which we have today. Half, 50%, yes every other person in the country in getting government support in one form or another without paying taxes to support the cost. We are almost at the tipping point. Folks when over half the people in the country can vote themselves unearned tax money with no fear of having to earn the money it is time for ATLAS to shrug. Let those spending our money so freely figure out how to earn the money. If natural selection works we are artificially altering the gene pool by these policies.
oh please kick the Un off of American soil and quit giving them a dime or a dollar. Most of the money is wasted on UN bureaucrats and tin pot third world rulers anyway. No more money, no more rules and most of all no more international court.
Thank you Starwings. Once upon a time in the not to distant past pirates were hung from the yardarm, those that survived the fight that is. These pirates should die, no matter the outcome of the standoff now in progress. As far as the UN rules go just ignore the rules and arm American flagged ships. While we are at it kick the UN off US soil and quit giving them any money. I very much doubt that even 1% of the money we give actually helps anyone except UN bureaucrats and the rulers of third world countries.
Cobra when a cop gets shot trying to keep the wolf from the door and in the process has to shoot the wolf and the wolf engenders more sympathy the the slain cop it is time for the cops to let the wolf loose so that the citizens can make an informed decision about the wolf. There is no other way to solve the problem. The harder cops try the harder the job gets. When you help to prop up a broken system you become part of the problem not part of the solution.
The bigger question is who in their right mind would give their life to protect the community of Oakland?
On wonders how long it will be before the police just ride around and stop a grandmother once in a while and just stop making high risk stops. When that becomes the norm the people will be getting the policing that they really deserve. One of the observers of the march is quoted as saying "police don't respect residents of the area". It's hard to know what Mixon did to earn the respect of the police except to respect his prowess with a firearm. Maybe the commenter Nicole Brown thinks that you are born with respect. I always thought that you had to earn respect.
Pitty we can't ride'em out of town on a Rearden metal rail!!!
