I volunteer to drag that scum out of his house personally for tarring and feathering followed by 6 days and nights in the stocks.

"Earlier this month, the New York Police Department showed off a machine called the Long Range Acoustic Device, developed for the military and capable of blasting at an earsplitting 150 decibels -- as loud as a firecracker, a jet engine taking off or artillery fire at 500 feet, according to the Noise Center at the League for the Hard of Hearing.

The NYPD said it would use the machine to direct crowds to safety if there's a terrorist attack or remind protesters where they're allowed to march. Police said they wouldn't use the earsplitting screeching noise feature at the convention.

"It's only to communicate in large crowds," Inspector Thomas Graham of the police department's crowd control unit said."

*I find a big problem with this. NEVER should a weapon be used against a crowd that is Constitutionally exercising their Rights. Military hardware should never be in the hands of a civilian police force. All it will take is one power hungry idiot and you have a riot and then even more are harmed. It should be banned by all before something bad happens and we look like idiots to the outside world for treating our own people in such ways.

We have the same government with the same beliefs and practices against the individual as we had a few years ago, it's just a different party in charge. I tried to reason with Republicans then, "you guys realize you're not going to be in power forever, right? They're going to use the same scaleback of constitutional rights that you wanted against you in the name of 'security' and 'safety'." Deaf ears from them, the f*cking morons.

"Democracy is the theory the common man knows what he wants and he deserves to get it good and hard."

Allright then, you disagree. I stand by it. Conservative agendas curtailed personal rights from 2002-2006 based on how they viewed the world. I'm not exactly surprised if liberal agendas are going to aim to curtail personal rights from 2009 onward based on how they view the world, and they're using the previous actions precipitated by total Republican control for those five years as cover for why they are doing it. This is the horror of our current political system that has been fomented by the dumbass worthless pieces of bullsh*t partisans on both sides of the political spectrum and because the common American doesn't have the balls to stand up to either of those two groups, despite outnumbering both of them handily.

Look at the country like an internet message board. There might be 10 members of the message board but you'll find 2 of the 10 that are the ones shouting and arguing like petulent children over some issue while the other 8 just lurk and never post anything, therefore leaving an outsider looking in to presume those 2 are representative of the 10 because those are the only voices he sees, when reality is they're clearly not representative. The problem with American society is those 8 need to stop lurking and tell the 2 what the vast majority really think on matters.

I did. As offensive as that is, it's mere criminality. What concerns me is the 400,000 fraudulent voter registrations in 30 states last election. With all the mail-in states these days, there is no way to verify the validity of our elections.

ACORN is a huge organization that's almost impossible to track who's who. Mega millions of taxpayer dollars have been funneled through their various subsidiaries. They are a 501 (c) 3, yet they openly support their candidates in every state, which is blatantly illegal.

They are now eligible for Billions in taxpayer dollars, and we will never be able to track that money.

What's needed is a full blown forensic accounting investigation of ACORN, CCI, Project Vote, and any and all other affiliates that can be identified.

But it will never happen. Conyers, Obama, et al will block every attempt to get to the truth.

It's up to us to decide who is trolling here, not you.

What rights have you lost due to "conservative agenda" between 2002 and 2006?

I don't know if it could be called "conservative agenda" but Bush did sign some very disturbing legislation during his time. I wish I could remember the bill he signed the day that Saddam was captured. Some bill about "privacy"(any bill with that in its title usually means less privacy for you) that effectively circumvented the 14th Amend in having to do with searches and investigations for suspected terrorists. Last I checked, that was everyone on "the list". You know the one with a couple million citizens on it for no apparent reason.

Fine, I reserve the right to tell a piece of worthless bullsh*t that he's full of bullsh*t. He told me I voted Obama and he is "my guy" followed by a further diatribe when I clearly stated earlier in the same thread I'd voted for McCain. That's trolling.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional or disciplinary response.

I thought this forum prided itself on high intellectual content and discussion on issues going around the world? And here you have one of your longest-running posters acting like a dumbass because it pisses him off that in a democratic country his party didn't get 50% and that the winner is taking actions a lot of his voters and stakeholders wanted while using the actions of their predecessor as their political cover. I can get Bluesman's level of intellect at RedState and dailykos.

I can get Bluesman's level of intellect at RedState and dailykos: two big groups of morons that could do the world a mutual favor by just killing each other. It's what they want to do anyway.

I wonder who would win that one? I would pay to see that happen. In fact, I'd put my money on RedState (whoever that is) against Dailykos. For some odd reason, I don't think the people at Dailykos are as well armed as those from RedState.

We do. You seem to be mistaking that for a forum with members who only agree with your opinions.
If you don't like his opinions, rebut them as you did with his 'your guy' comment, don't resort to calling anyone with opinions differing from yours idiots.
Calm down and make your arguments, otherwise there'll be a whole lot more than Bluesman calling you out.
