oops, wrong finger.

Y'all think it's bad NOW, wait until the FEDERAL POLICE FORCE is created under that cute lil provision that was sneaked into the Patriot Act just in time for renewal!

"A special event of national significance" is neither defined nor does it require the presence of a "protected person" such as the president in order to trigger it. Thus, the administration, and perhaps the police themselves, can place the SENS designation on any event. Once a SENS designation is placed on an event, the new federal police are empowered to keep out and arrest people at their discretion

They let us keep our freedom of speech because it is such an effective way to identify dissenters.

OT Alert - Maybe this is why Fitz is taking so long!

Leak prober got supersecret files

. . . if Americans are addicted to "oil" . . . Then who are The Pushers ? ? ? . . . & . . . What should DO to Them ? ? ? ?

Okay, here ya go.

Notice especially the part that defines "demonstration activity" specifically says it does not include wearing of t-shirts.

That is really creepy. Where did you find out about this one?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11120353/

All charges against Sheehan dropped.

"We screwed up."

Catherine, there was a link talking about this at Jeff Rense.com.

So we're addicted to oil, guess who's the pusher?? Al Gore had more concern for our country and the environment in his speech a couple weeks ago, than was expressed by our impostor prez. Confidence, trust, and faith have to be earned and gw fails again!

Catherine - Don't remember where I first heard of it, but it's a link, click on it to go read the entire article.

And hell YES it's creepy!

#5..addicted...lets sue the oil companies..the emporer with no clothes just gave us the ammo. This includes all Americans, not just smokers who sue big tobacco...lets sue all the oil pushers.

Anybody who thinks this was "an accident" or "we screwed up" is an absolute idiot. When are you gonna stop believing shit like that???

9/11 was an accident, too. We accept too easily, when people say, "we screwed up". We let them go, even if they knowingly and premeditatedly did it.

Just For The Record : WHO Invented the "Banner" LIE ?

Cindy Sheehan should be in prison right now for her disruptive crimes. In times of terror, America must stand strong against those who do not respect the nation or support the truths such as Sheehan.

Are Undesirables are Lurking in the Basement ?

Are Undesirables are Lurking in the Basement ?

For Big Dan: "We screwed up" is Rightwingspeak for "We've tried hard to come up with something to justify arresting Cindy Sheehan, but nothing will fly at this point, especially since we were forced to evict Mrs. Young as well, and her husband is really pissed off, so to shut him up we have say, 'We screwed up.'"

If Cindy's lawsuit is certifiied, part of the discovery process can become finding out who spread the lie that she was trying to put up a banner. It could be germaine to the extent that it speaks to a possible motivation behind Cindy's arrest, i.e., not a simple mistake ("We screwed up"), rather "We tried hard to nail this troublemaker, but nothing worked." In other words, a deliberate attempt to violate her civil rights, which I believe is worth about ten years making license plates for whoever ordered it.

"America must stand strong against those who do not respect the nation"

Exactly.

Which is why we here think that bush/cheney/rice/rove/rummy et al should be in jail for creating more terrorists, fanning anti-Americanism, spending America's money in Iraq instead of in America, appointing incompetent cronies to agencies assigned to protect us, breaking the FISA law, outing Valerie Plame, rigging elections, failing to arm their own troops, buying propaganda, attempting to bribe a member of Congress, putting the country in hock to foreign governments, and lying the country into a war of aggression, and that's the short list.

They don't have a shred of respect for the nation or for the truth. Not a bloody fucking shred.

Right on, Joan. People like "Bob" in #15 speak the truth without realizing what they're saying. "Those who don't respect the nation" are the same people who defy the Constitution. Why? Because it's the bedrock of the nation. You bet. Thanks, Bob, for the civics lesson.

But who is it that doesn't respect the Constitution? It sure as hell isn't Cindy Sheehan. Anyone can wear a T-shirt. Nor is it Mrs. Young from Florida. It's people who try to make a crime out of legal protest who don't respect the nation. And, they're the same people who don't respect other nations, either...in fact, they invade them without provocation and under false pretenses.

I also oneself something would want to find out on this theme. Very attentively I will read every post.
