Compare the outrage you see coming from elected Dems now with the lack of outrage up to now, while children and other civilians have been abducted and otherwise man handled. Then ask, why the difference?

Admiral Adama: There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

“Violence is an elastic term often deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo.

The idea that protesters in LA shouldn’t give him a pretext for violence presupposes that he needs or cares about a pretext. If you protesters stay home, then he’s going to keep kidnapping people and use the lack of protests as proof that everyone agrees with him.

The crew of the Madleen deserves all of our love and solidarity. They knew they were on a dangerous path, but also understood the necessity of trying. The siege of Gaza must end, aid must be delivered, and the crew of the Madleen must be freed.

There are armed and masked gangs in the streets of American, assaulting and kidnapping people. These vile gang members must be arrested!! Where are all the ‘good cops’ to serve and protect our society from roving gangs?
