5 EPD vehicles pull over a car in the Whiteaker neighborhood and the cops handcuff the wrong person while they get a ear full.

Henry and I go back a long way. He is a hard working woods worker who owns his own home and has spent many years planting trees, doing pre-commercial thinning of tree stands, fire bossing twenty man single resource wild land fire crews, and has been a political activist for many years.
He won a large settlement when railroad dicks slammed him to the ground on tracks near his home accusing him of trespassing the right of way while retrieving his dog so he could go to work.
He also had a memorable moment in Salem with a fellow activist who had hung a dummy of the Children's Service Department director in effigy on the State Capital grounds protesting heavy handed interference in people's lives when they pulled kids, usually because they objected to the parent's political and social outlook on life.
The legislature was in session and the Republicans then and they heard about the dummy, so they came out directly from the House chamber to scream at him and "how dare him" because the then director was an African American woman.
That made the papers at that time, and Henry and I go a long long way back having worked and run together for decades.
His parents were college professors before retiring, and Henry is very politically informed.
Tim Lewis has been the Cop Watch organizer for a long time and has restarted the organization. One I have been arrested doing work observing and videotaping for. The police were very much irritated and intimidated by the camera and this helped convince them to take the cuffs off as you see them do.
Shine On, the woman with the pulled back dreads is a very close friend of mine as well. This is also my neighborhood. We will be producing and posting more Cop Watch videos as we get the organization back up to speed.
You came into hijack this thread with your own agenda. You bother me with your one note Charley acting very arrogant and demanding.
I don't need that crap the last weeks before an important election, or is that a factor in your timing here?
We are done, period, no more exchanges on the topic. I will be happy to post back to you on any issue but your pet one.
There is more to life then your ADL hamster exercise wheel you like to run yourself ragged on.
Post in regard to the thread header. Anything else I won't even bother wasting time on.
"You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything he's no longer in your power -- he's free again. Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Communication is fine and dandy, but I have a very difficult time finding common ground with people that wittingly or unwittingly advocate the incipient police state.
"Communication is fine and dandy, but I have a very difficult time finding common ground with people that wittingly or unwittingly advocate the incipient police state."
That quote shows what a poor communicator you are. I have found you generally impossible to talk to. You are still hijacking the thread, and how you expect me to be receptive you your arcane interrogatories when you piss and shit on anything you don't like and refuse to budge from your one issue side show is beyond me.
The passive aggressive insults are noted. Their inaccuracy is noted. That's all I see I can do for you here, is note that.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. Thomas Jefferson, 1802
The ADL trains more police in America than any other private group. Unless one is an apologist for the ADL or for the police state, that's far from a side show.
The passive aggressive insults are noted.
There's nothing passive aggressive about it. You're either an idiot or a supporter of the ADL...but I repeat myself.
but this is one of many dynamics about points of view we need
to understand if people of different perspectives are ever going to ever be
able to unite when it is important to do so to ensure mutual defense.
our mutual defense against whom, Mike? we can't even
agree on who and what is [our] common enemy. i believe your heart's in the
right place, but i also believe your ideal of unification (i view it as
collectivism) causes you to be closedminded at times.
Au contraire ma amie. It is not I that is closeminded, but think what you want. I never ask permission for my viewpoints, and I don't give a shit if they offend or others don't like then.
They are mine, I know why I have them, and they are well thought out. I also have a right to them, just as you have a right to yours'.

Yet you insist upon others refraining from speaking their minds, to wit:
Why don't you conduct yourself in an ethical manner in here and be objective when doing posting functions that need objectivity?
There are many good reasons to do this, one is to protect reposting for discussion under the auspices of fair use from legal attacks from news outlets, and another is to create a product that a thread is that people of different opinions can post to without feeling it is useless to because even management seems to sanction the oppressively -- I don't give a crap of how opinionated I am -- behavior you exhibit here.
Personally I like Barney Frank and would have commented on this topic had you made the tread user friendly. You obviously would prefer to not see the other side argued on your thread here, or you would of posted this in a mature, reasoned fashion.
That sounds dangerously close to calling for suppression of speech to me, Mike.

I also have a right to them, just as you have a right to yours'.
Bottom line right there.

absolutely..and i never said or intimated otherwise. in thinking about it further, i think i erred using the word closedminded. maybe biased is better, but then aren't we all. we all see things through our own prisms and life's experiences. in any event, it wasn't meant to be a criticism, just an observation...and you certainly have the right to disagree or dispute it.
what do you think of my assertion that we can't even agree on who is our common enemy so how is it possible that we can unite and fight whoever that is together?
You need to put a link to the thread in with the quote if you want a comment on it.

This is a forum where ideas and opinions are exchanged. It is allegedly a free speech forum, yet I am always getting stupid FReeper tricks like your stonewalling here Cyni.
And you don't have to buy their current dogma to know and use the Free Republic forum doctrine and tactics. Thanks for sharing, John McCyni.

Tricks Mike???? am too olde for that, and so are you too olde to go personal rather than discuss the merits of what is at stake.
This is what I said...
"As long as Mike or anyone supports any person or part of this government we cannot have one iota of common agreement.
There is NO room for compromise with people that sanction the government, its owners nor its minions."
This government is a repressive one Mike, has been for many years and is getting worse. This has occurred, under stewardship of both "parties" and several presidents etc etc. I cannot support any part or person of this ongoing system, and to my mind anyone that does is adding to our decline as a people and a country.
No tricks Mike, personal view. I do not support any portion of this system, you do, that is your choice, however in doing so, you become a part of the problem as you are merely doing what you are programmed to do.
Free speech forum question???? I note you openly support a candidate, try that on the other forums.
Very basic premise Mike, you support any candidate, you thereby are supporting the government that will destroy us. To my knowledge, I have not seen nor heard anyone here even hint that Mike should be muted by any means. I have known you for too long for any such childishness.
One either supports the government or they do not. I do not.

No room for compromise? Your asskissing of Sarah Palin tells a different story as to your agenda. I think it's all corrupted and they're mostly all corrupted with the exception of Ron Paul and maybe a few others I don't know about. Even though I don't think it can be fixed, my thinking is in the minority. This government or some form of it will exist far after you and I and Mike are gone, don't you think?
Humans beings have lots in common and thoughts and ideas can be discussed and exchanged whether or not our view of government is the same. What solutions or plan are you offering?
what do you think of my assertion that we can't even agree on who is our common enemy so how is it possible that we can unite and fight whoever that is together?
I'd like to hear the answer to that myself.
The reason that I bitch about Jewish power is because it's the weakest link in the global power structure (which is why that structure protects Jewish power so much).
In any battle, you go for the weakest point. Those unwilling to do so due to their conditioning and emotional attachment to their own perspective will always end up in the casualty pile at the end of the fight.

I disagree with Ferret Mike on a lot of issues, particularly his support for Obama. And it isn't even because I think that Obama is a "far leftist," it's because I think that Obama is just another political hack in the mold of Clinton or Kerry.
But how is Mike's support of Obama any worse than the support for McCain/Palin by many on this site? Why is it OK to compromise and make common cause with people who support neoconservatives but not with leftists?
I need to give this more thought. Dakmar's post above intrigued me. Mostly it's because I am repulsed by Barney Frank's latest round of government oppression in the bailout scheme. That Mike supports him is stunning and shocking to me. Makes me have to rethink things a bit.
But how is Mike's support of Obama any worse than the support for McCain/Palin by many on this site?
It's not. There are those on this site who support McPalin either openly or closeted, yet their views aren't targeted "as people that sanction the government, its owners nor its minions..."
Obama and McCain both voted Yes on the Debt Utilization and Monetization Bill (DUMB) that just passed the Senate
When it comes down to what matters, D and R are always on the same page. They vote together to bail out their Wall Street masters, and they vote together on wars and building the New World Order.
Their "disagreement" on stupid social issues of the week is just a sideshow.
However, it may be, as the Practically Jewish By Osmosis Birdman says, the sine qua non of intellectual freedom in the West.

i don't know how you can say that. the majority of posters here are against both branches of the establishment party.

The majority? Many say they are, but I really don't hear the same level of outrage against McPalin as I did and do about Obama. In fact, I've been accused by cyni, nikki and James Deffenbach of being a partisan Obama supporter becasue I've been posting diatribe toward Palin.

I've seen some of that, and it's ridiculous. But to be fair, I've had some Obamaites here call me a "McCain supporter" when I had anything bad to say about their empty suit Messiah. That's what happens when you believe in the two party system.

Personally, I support no one in this charade. I will not vote.
With that in mind, the government being the enemy, one has to either support all of them or disparage all of them.
I disparage all of them, with one exception, politics aside I do like Palin as a gurl.
To disparage one is support for the others, regardless of what one thinks. Politically, I want nothing to do with the lot of them, I do like Palin as a gurl.
Myself, I think Bush/Cheney should be hung, and regardless of who "wins" our next go around, hang them too.
To disparage one is support for the others, regardless of what one thinks
Anti-Obama remarks should discourage people from supporting Obama, not encourage support for McCain, whether it means voting third party or not voting at all. And vice-versa for anti-McCain comments.
