Maybe he should have planted baby arugula.

I think the difficulty I have is my view toward the police. If it is my duty to protect myself and those entrusted to my care, my family, how immoral is it to relinquish that duty to some one else, uniformed or not. It is against every good thing for me to expect another to do for me what I should have done myself.
If Z-man is found guilty, then all justice in this nation has been thwarted, “truth has fallen in the street and equity cannot enter. Yea truth fails, and he that departs from evil makes himself a prey.”
(Quote from Isaiah 59)

I remember the day I learned about racism in America.
There I was just a white country boy, moving to a red brick neighborhood known as the Western Heights projects. While I tried to fit in, I was soon known as I weird white guy, that didn’t speak ghetto, or buy crack. Soon the nasty prostitutes on the hill knew me as the guy that had no money and would ostracize me. Some of the folks considered me an oddity, the guy that would answer the door with pistol in hand and a funny little smile.
I was happy to learn that racism grew in such places, and yet I didn’t have to learn hatred of anyone for their skin color but their individual characteristics. Nasty, lazy, hostile, pernicious, no account, worthless individuals, whose ways and deeds, resembled animals, with the lust and hungers of a beast.
I am glad that the dreadful time there ended, without me having to shoot anyone or getting shot. My first hand account revealed a deep seated animosity toward anything strong and good, but not within myself, but within a segment of the population bent on self destruction. Woe to the postman that brings the checks without a police escort. Ross Perots giant sucking sound doesn’t only come from Mexico, but also from the heart of darkness in every large city across America.

I knew she had problems, but I was sure she was just guilty of being an overpaid, no talent, self promoting hack. Boy, ya think ya know someone, and wham, devil, just like that.

Purple, purple, there's gotsta be a rhyme for purple!

Here's a list of Kaine public statements and speeches.
Just a quick perusal shows this guy to be a cheerleader for Obama. Very liberal, and as such predictable. I'd have to go with the pointy-haired boss. Now excuse I've got to read some of these, and if it gets too close to my dinner time I'll lose my appetite.

foreign nationalists, I meant. Sorry.

Yeah, I saw that one. Citizenship is still the first requirement for any position.
The CIA ran into a problem in Somalia because it only had one indigent agent. (Who had an unfortunate accident while playing Russian roulette.)
That has thankfully changed. Afghanistan and Iraq has seen a renewal of indigent employees involved in field work. It seems that there had been a tendency in the 80's and early 90's to put less emphasis on old fashioned legwork and replace it with technological tools.
However, to bring nationals in to police our citizenry in the FBI would be foolhardy. Diversity, great; outsourcing, no thanks.

I did find this, but still looking.
FBI In Birmingham Celebrates 100 Years With Luncheon Celebration

Written by: Lisa Crane and Shannon Delcambre Published: July 25, 2008 THE F-B-I CITIZENS’ ACADEMY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION HELD A DIVERSITY LUNCHEON IN HONOR OF THE BUREAU’S 100TH ANNIVERSARY. THE CELEBRATION HAPPENED INSIDE ZAMORA SHINE IN IRONDALE. MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE FROM ALL BRANCHES OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AS WELL AS STATE AND LOCAL POLITICIANS GATHERED TO HONOR THE FBI AND ITS ACCOMPLISHMENTS OVER THE YEARS. THE DIVERSITY LUINCHEON FEATURED FOOD FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD TO REFLECT THE DIVERSITY OF THE FBI OVER THE PAST 100 YEARS. THE FBI’S ROLE HAS CHANGED A LOT IN THE PAST CENTURY, PERHAPS MORE SO IN THE PAST DECADE, THAN EVER BEFORE. FBI SPECIAL AGENT IN CHARGE IN BHM, CARMEN S. ADAMS, SAYS SINCE 9/11, THE FBI HAS MOVED MORE HEAVILY INTO THE INTELLIGENCE PART OF ITS MISSION. SAC ADAMS SAYS SHE IS MOST PROUD OF THE MANY PUBLIC CORRUPTION CONVICTIONS THE FBI HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH LOCALLY IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS.

Sorry to spring that on you, guy's. Should've had a gag alert. Emphasis mine.

God alone knows the end of all things, my FRiend.
True. The biggest problem with the leftist mentality, at least in this regard, is that they are willfully ignorant of the threat against them and all too often are willing to champion the enemies of freedom.
They are like a bird nesting on the viper’s eggs.
I have to agree with Mark Steyn however that Europe is on the brink of Islamization, and the U.S. has displayed a great weakness in view of this threat.
I think our location will be a succesful buffer which Islam will have a hard time breaching, but time is on their side.
Thank God history is not.

When I read that a little vein started to twitch in my forehead. Did you happen to get a source?
I’ll look for it.
How in the world is that possible? Are we that far removed from reality?

Thanks, that does make me feel better. Militarily, they don’t stand a chance and they know it.
What I’m most concerned about and hits a little closer to home is the willingness of the 5th column in the U.S.A. (Liberal media and politicians, Islamic lobbyists, and all their little minions)to undermine the foundations of our nation from within.
It was bureaucratic bickering in D.C. that cost us Vietnam, and is a great factor in Iraq. This unwillingness to use force against a definable enemy that would submit to it (no pun intended) is a Washington failure with dire cost.
These litle armies like al-sadr’s mahdi army can become definite threats unless they are ruthlessly crushed, and while our fighting men are able and willing to do so, their hands are tied by paperwork.
Shameful.

Other than that, I’ll fight Islam to my dying breath because of what they’ve done to my loved ones and fellow country men. Even McCain said he’d fight to the gates of hell to get Osama.
If the FBI is led by the nose by Islamists, then heaven help us.
I’d like to think there are some who have a love for country.

I'll bite, do you give a ****? At least a nice court case would give me an opportunity to vent. But alas, when the government goes after it's lawful citizenry, then there's a problem.
But just in case they do monitor me, I'd like to take this opportunity to say, thanks for keeping Islam off our backs since 9-11. I'll keep the coffee on.
Of course if they want to come over they have to leave with a Bible track, It's kind of a rule at my house.

Keith Ellison doesn’t seem to have that problem. I find it interesting that Islam seems to make advances on the lefty side of the aisle. Politics certainly make strange bedfellows.

I think Islamic leaders would probably like to get their hands on his cash. Georgie porgie knows how to grease palms to get his way. He’ll surely find a way to exist in the NWO.

Is there a definitive breakdown of Islam as a political structure and a religion? In other words, is it possible to separate Islam as a religion from it’s political platform?
It seems that the political demands are to ingrained within the religious structure, but if so, how have they managed to live alongside other people peacefully? It seems like every 500 years or so they become more militant.

While I do believe Bush to be culpable. The defense of our liberties places the blame squarely on our shoulders. That is our duty foremost.
Whenever I get angry at the Pres. I just remind myself that Algore was the alternative for 911.
Ignorance of the opposition isn't Bush's fault. There is enough information on the dangers inherent in Islam, that info. has been widely disseminated for centuries.
I wish Bush had stood firmly, but it is what it is. What will we do with the responsibilities we have? That is a valid question for conservatives today.

I have to agree. What groups like CAIR represent is nothing less than a replacement of our societies structure with Sharia law.
I tend to view this as a usurpation of our rights under law; and as such definitely incompatible with our rights granted by God.
Such an affront to my liberty has to be matched in equal measure by my ability to defend my liberty.
As opposition, radical Islam is not yet in this country with force, thanks to our fighting men taking the war to them, however there methods are a bit more deviant, by trying to corrupt our infrastructure.
I'm prepared to fight them in the arena of words, but would have no regrets if it moved to a more "confrontational" venue.
My personally belief is that Ospama is a Nation of Islam front, and represents an Organization hostile to my nation, friends, and family.

"We're a military family! I'm scared spit less."
I'm postponing fear with preparation. Intimidation by the opponent is simply that. Kind of like the psychout before the boxing match.
I think Obama's going to light a fuse that will make us go BOOM!
