Just gonna leave this here. http://www.dailypaul.com/296858/yahoo-news-1-30-13-us-backed-plan-to-launch-chemical-weapon-attack-on-syria-blame-it-on-assad-govt?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+dailypaul%2FFClq+%28The+Daily+P.Au.L+-+Peace+%7C+Gold+%7C+Love%29

At least I'm consistent. :D

That just makes me think of Nirvana lyrics (In Bloom).

No. No. Yes.

I absolutely agree with what you have said here. Even though I understand the rules of the game and am adept at working within their constraints, I despise the race game and how it is played. The main reason I try keep attuned to these black conservative and libertarian voices is that living where I do and having the conversations that I do, it can be beneficial to have a resource that allows someone who looks like the person I am talking to saying the same things I am. This is especially true when I am speaking about the manner in which the party of Jim Crow and slavery used the programs of Johnson's Great Society to put black folks back on the plantation. Only this time instead of growing cotton they are growing voters.

If you are expecting one of the Left's "spokesperson for black folks" to do that you will be waiting a looooong time. It doesn't fit their agenda and even when they do speak of it they say at most that it "should be frowned upon." I would say that if you haven't heard any black folks condemn any of these incidents you might want to look around and seek out the words of folks like Col. Allen West (Ret), Rachel Zo of Zonation, Dwayne at Blackinformant, Dr. Walter E. Williams and the plethora of other black conservatives and libertarians out there who don't get much face time on any major media outlet. There are lots of black voices speaking truth to the black community. It is just that most of us don't have the opportunity to hear those voices because we aren't part of that community either by geography or by choice to keep the "other" at arms length. Of course black folks aren't so monolithic a group as the media or our minds would have us believe. I personally know as varied a spectrum of thought amongst my friends of color as the bunch of saltines I generally hang with.

Before anyone goes and gets their panties in too big of a bunch, I didn't know this was ever in question? The Founding Fathers were extremist insurgents who at times engaged in acts of terrorism (Boston Tea Party!) by the modern definitions. The ideas of personal freedom and individual liberty are extremist ideas when you look at the larger picture of man's historical involvement with its mortal enemy, the state. The notion that a person is the best determiner of how to live his/her life and that the role of the state is only to protect the ability to live by those choices without forceful infringement by others is a wholly and completely radical idea. Those who will compromise and not proudly wear the badge of extremist in the defense of liberty are not your friend, they are your enemy.

Sweet!

Fair point. :lol:

That sounds like a missed marketing potential if I ever heard one.

I'm not quite sure how this made the news? Who calls the cops when they get free weed?

Can't wait to go troll the hipster bars while wearing it. :lol:

I DO. Maybe to a lesser extent but it would still be happening. The NSA would still be spying on us(much like they did under Bush) and the other government organizations would still be abusing their power.

I am Spartacus.

Be careful! It almost sounds like you might almost be criticizing St. Ronnie!

Agreed. Bullpups have never held any interest for me before, but the Tavor has be intrigued.

That is fricken awesome.

While the practice may not be officially or completely ended, any sort of actual oversight or review process will have substantially the same end result. Much like the PD in California that saw an over 80% reduction in use of force when officers had to wear cameras on body, people tend to be better mannered when being watched. The carte blanche given to the officers to stop & frisk as they saw fit is what led to the abuses.

Only as long as we can leave your friends behind. Because your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance, then they're no friends of mine.

Then I guess we should say thank you to the minorities for getting everyone this win.

Great news out of New York. Judge rules that the NYPD's "Stop & Frisk" policy is unconstitutional. Nice to see this blatant violation of the 4th Amendment brought to an end. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/13/nyregion/stop-and-frisk-practice-violated-rights-judge-rules.html

I think by this point it is k own I have zero tolerance for cops acting out of line. That being said, in this day and age, If I ran across a nude child of either gender, I would choose a taser of a tackle any day as well. Not gonna open myself up for that accusation ion any way.

It's #13 on the list of demands.
