When I was driving to work this morning I noticed a bunch of political signs along the side of the road. The usual McCain and local shit, but a few of em bothered me. There were a few signs for Constables and Sheriffs proclaiming their political affiliation.
Partisan politics has no place in officers upholding the law IMO. I don't want constables arresting people or giving them harsher/more lenient punishments based on their political beliefs. Their job should be to uphold the law without bias Does this bother anyone else? --------------------   |

you know what's funny to me? I'm not necessarily an Obama supporter and still haven't decided who i am voting for, but aren't the bailouts incredibly socialist? and let's not to mention all the anti-terror laws "for our own good."

QUOTE (Epic @ Nov 2 2008, 08:32 AM)  you know what's funny to me? I'm not necessarily an Obama supporter and still haven't decided who i am voting for, but aren't the bailouts incredibly socialist? and let's not to mention all the anti-terror laws "for our own good." The bailouts teeter on socialism and go completely against the "conservative" ideals. It is one thing for the fed to play with rates but it's another to reward bad behavior. I am torn on the anti-terror laws. I think the unwarranted phone-tapping is over the line and should be done away with. If we keep doing similar things in the name of "freedom" we will be no better than Soviet Russia or McCarthy Era-USA. However, I do think there is a very real war going on against terrorism and I would like to see us continue to stabilize Iraq while moving troops to Afghanistan. One area that Americans are horribly misinformed on is the current usage of foreign oil in the states and how much actually comes from Canada and not the Middle East. There is good reason why OPEC cut production, they are hoping to jack up prices. It failed because a good chunk of our oil now comes from the Canadian tar sands and as long as the price stays at a healthy level ($60-$70 barrel), then that will continue to be our source. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
