Kiss my ring finger!

I could not agree more.

Conservatives fear the State, and this clip is one reason why: A dumbass guy with a gun and the State's authority and power behind him escalates a frickin' snowball fight into something that could have been much worse.

Oh, and for you boot lickers, what about the kid who got arrested for "throwing a snowball"? Did you see that on tape? Did he actually do anything or did Mr. Big Badge want to show everybody who was boss?

Can't wait for the lawsuit. In six months, I hope this gun-waving Detective is off the force and hanging drywall or tending bar. Revoke his Imperial Privilege to wave a gun at the rabble and make him a lowly citizen again.

You sometimes come off as defending things that I really don't understand if you are who you say you are.

I assume you're talking about my defense of legal standing. If not, point me to the issue with which you take offense. Legal standing requires that a plaintiff show that he has been uniquely injured by the direct actions of the defendant. All military personnel suffer the same effect of an ineligible CIC. So the individual military plaintiffs have no unique injury. Legal standing requires that the injury be imminent or concrete and not theoretical. The possibilities of dying in the war or later being tried as a war criminal for following Obama's orders are not definite or imminent injuries. So again, no demonstrable injury. The same issues exist for voters - no unique injury. None of the cases thus far have met the requirements of legal standing. Those cases were rightly dismissed.

WHY should this court case not go ahead?

If you are speaking of an eligibility case with a military plaintiff (or voter), I answered that above. If you are speaking of the quo warranto with the auto dealers, that case should go forward.

WHY should America be saddled with this obvious AMERICAN HATING ALIEN? WHY???

We absolutely, positively shouldn't be saddled with Obama, but we are because the libtards, ACORN, and racist voters chose him.

I figure it's one of two things, You either LOVE your country or your not sure or you don't. It must be clear to me.

I am sure. I love my country. It would be clear to you if you expand your analysis of my comments outside of birther threads. You equate my support for the rules of law and civil procedure with support for Obama. The two are not the same. I don't support Obama or his policies. I don't think he's eligible. I've made that crystal clear.

If you're not a victim of group think, then don't take freepmail opinions as definitive truth and then act upon them without doing some research of your own.

After 9-11 we should have immediately rebuilt the twin towers.
Built them stronger and installed anti-aircraft missile batteries to protect them.
Upon completion we should have instituted a yearly tribute to the victims in which any Al Queda members caught in the previous 12 months were thrown from the top of the twin towers.
We should then have announced any future attack on the twin towers would result in the immediate nuclear destruction of the Grand Mosque in Mecca.

An abusive government who violates men's dignity and birthrights at some point loses its right to be their government. That's in essence the Declaration of Independence.

The states ratified the Constitution as an agreement with the federal government. The Constitution is a contract between the states and the federal government. The federal government has broken that agreement and that contract and no longer abides by the terms of the Constitution. Therefore, the states are free from their ties to this rouge government. "Togetherness" doesn't include Marxism and tyranny.

The pampered children have yet to grow up. With the nanny state they have created, they’ll never have to grow up.

The Muslim won a huge propaganda victory on 9/11. They hav gained converts and volunteers for terror in droves ever since. The single worst moment after 9/11 was when Bush—4 days after, while the WTC still smouldered—took his shoes off in a filthy D.C. mosque (next to what turned out to be an Imam with ties to terrorists) to declare Islam the “religion of peace”. He disgraced all Americans by doing that, and I will never forgive him for it. It would have been inconceivable for FDR to go into a Shinto shrine after Pearl Harbor for the sake of political correctness.

I believe that BOTH Shanksville and the WTC are proposed sites for Islamic shrines. that WTC is not yet settled & the building started has no other real basis. All the infighting is smoke & mirrors.

And the AF 1 flight over Manhattan was an attaboy from Hussein.

I feel this in my bones.

Do you think Hollywood would do the movie without making the Serbs into the bad guys?

People in New York should make a habit of walking by there every day and depositing some kind of pork product on the site, preferably in a place where it would be difficult to remove, such as a drain. Pork-skins are an inexpensive option, but anything would do: pork chop bones, bacon bits. Whatever. EVERY DAY. Over and over. Like clockwork.

The only place for a new Mosque is inside the gates of hell.

Sheesh! They coulda just changed Burlington Coat Factory into Burkha Coat Factory. So easy even cavemen can do it.

Let Loose the Dogs of War said: “I only hope a movie is made of this outstanding long awaited story.”

So many of us feel exactly the same way.

Here’s another aspect of “the story” from the perspective of a Colonel in the United States Air Force whose letter was published in The Washington Times in 1997:

The Washington Times

July 6, 1997, Sunday, Final Edition

Revisiting the role of Yugoslavian ‘Chetniks’

The June 21 Letter to the Editor by Mladen J. Udbinac, under the heading “Article condemning Croatia draws angry responses,” is a typical example of revising and twisting historical facts regarding the role of the Chetniks (Yugoslav nationalists) in World War II.

Mr. Udbinac also states that criticism of Croatia today is “without any sort of concrete evidence.” I would like to set the facts straight, as reported in this newspaper.

In a commentary in The Times of June 11, 1985, Milt Copulos wrote that, “Information contained in these documents [previously classified OSS files and Nazi documents] now make it clear that the leader of Yugoslavia’s nationalist forces, [Chetniks], General Draza Mihailovich, was the victim of an active campaign of subversion conducted by James Klugman, a highly placed Communist agent in British intelligence and close associate of master spy Kim Philby.”

Rather than collaborating with the Nazis as claimed by Mr. Udbinac, Serbian forces under Gen. Mihailovich were loyal to the Allies in WW II and rescued over 500 downed American pilots while at the same time Croats and Muslims were turning our airmen over to the Nazis. Due to disgracefull politics (we did not want to offend our Communist friend, Josef Tito - himself a Croat), our State Department denied the efforts by American pilots to have a monument erected to honor those brave Serbians who sacrificed their lives to rescue them. In his account of the rescue, Major Richard Felman, an American Jew from Tucson, Arizona, recalls, “I watched in horror with binoculars as the Germans executed the entire village of Serbians who refused to disclose my hideaway with Draza Mihailovich’s forces.” On June 9, 1994, The Times carried an open letter to President Clinton from Major Felman and his fellow survivors deploring the bombing in Bosnia where Americans were killing “the very Serbian people who saved our lives while at the same time helping some of the people who were shooting at us and turning us over to the Germans.”

Mr. Ubinac’s accusation of Serbian anti-Semitism is even more egregious considering Serbian families took in Jewish children as their own in order to protect them from the horrors of Croatia’s death camps. Upon being discovered protecting these children, entire Serbian families were executed.

John Ranz, Chairman of the Survivors of Buchenwald, USA writes, “In the Serbian mountains Jews were welcomed by the Serbian partisans with open arms, and the 5,000 that survived in Yugoslavia survived among the partisans. The Serbs protected them until the end of the war at the risk of endangering their own lives.”

Regarding Mr. Udbinac’s comment that criticism of Croatia today is “without any sort of evidence,” how does he explain “the photographic and autopsy evidence of 3,200 bodies, mostly elderly Serb village women, their throats cut and their faces smashed in,” as reported by Edward Pearce in The Evening Standard (London), Aug. 7, 1995? A similar fate awaited elderly Serbs who were left behind when Croatian forces, trained by retired U.S. generals (”Retired U.S. brass sell military expertise,” The Washington Times, Nov. 25, 1995) “ethnically cleansed” 200,000 Serbs from their ancestral homes in Krajina and systematically shot or cut the throats of those who remained.

Hatred of the Serbian people, as exemplified by Mr. Udbinac’s misrepresentations and distortions, has shown itself in other ways. On August 9, 1996, St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church in Phoenix, Arizona was desecrated. The church was spray-painted with swastikas, along with the dreaded “U” for “Ustashe,” Croatia’s Nazi party. Obscene words were sprayed on the walls in the Croatian and English languages. Signs of urination were evident on the church doors. There have been similar incidents in Chicago, Los Angeles and Toronto, Canada. Not long afterward, there was a series of e-mail messages, which included death threats, as well as a comment about “how do you like what we did to your stinkin [sic] church.” The messages gave the origin and the name of the student from Arizona State University who sent them. Despite numerous letters, telephone calls and messages to congressmen, police, and the university president demanding that the perpetrators be found and punished, the investigation has been closed “for lack of evidence.”

Major Richard Felman and our rescued American airmen are still waiting for the United States government to show its appreciation to those who saved their lives.

Serbian Americans in Phoenix, Chicago and Los Angeles are still waiting for action to find and punish those responsible for cowardly “hate crimes.” No American,including those like me who are not of Serbian descent, should remain silent while a proud people, our allies in two world wars, are vilified and their churches desecrated.
