I'm glad that's a law. Equal playing grounds are nice. Cops need to know that there are repercussions when they **** up. Fallowing people into their homes and arresting them illegally, threatening family members and then marching off like they're some kind of hero. It's insane.

I'm sick and tired of seeing, "Cops beat the **** out of people, shoot innocent man; Cop on suspension for 3 days."

Whether or not this was on purpose or not this administration has really eroded US/Israel relations over the last 5 years. This really concerns me because Israel is a critical ally for the US in the middle east. Someone needs to seal all of the ridiculous leaks that have plagued this country in the past few years.

I know that these types of plans are routinely made public for contractors to make bids but there has to be a better way to do this especially when the project is one being contracted for a different country. They are not bound by our practices and had an obvious expectation of secrecy. I figured they would have at least solicited a handful of contractors on their own instead of just posting the information up on the internet.

In all seriousness, if your political talking points come from this, you may want to take a close look at your political talking points.

I didn't neg-prop you but I also didn't un-neg-prop you based on the fact that there was nothing political or current event related about the picture.

And if you try to use some semantic justification like, "it's current and an event because I am cursed by Satan (i.e. left-handed), currently finishing some classes at university, and found a left-handed desk," then I will neg-prop you.

The National Memo » Where Was The Tea Party On The PATRIOT Act?

Unsurprisingly, only the Pauls are consistently not hypocrites. Seriously, what were some of these people doing (Including posters on this board where it's suddenly terribly bad that Obama does it) when Bush was pulling this ****? The numbers on the polls clearly demonstrate the rampant hypocrisy on both sides.
