OKC officer pulls man over for anti-Obama sign on vehicle

[flagtag]

Had to bury a good friend of mine in rural Mississippi. There were protesters there also. Then the local bike gangs commenced to beat the living **** out of them. Maybe not right, probably not legal, but very gratifying.

It's only fair! What goes around, comes around! It should be done more often.

 

[ocsdor]

People should get a bunch of those stickers and plaster them all over town (including cop cars when no one is looking).

 

[INRanger]

There is a world of difference at times between right and legal.

Yup. I like right better than legal most of the time.

It's your flag.
It's your gun.
It's your papers.
It's your liberty.
It's your money.
It's your right to assemble.
Ad Infinitum.

Yes, it is a small item, but, to me, it is what that item represents, i.e. free speech. To use another example, a flag is just a flag until it represents an idea, a principle or something tangible.

I don't base my words on a tinfoil hat idea of a conspiracy. I am a student of history in what has transpired in the history of the USSR, Great Britain, India and several more countries. It starts small and progresses quickly.

I think you misunderstood my post, and how stupid it is to stop someone because of a bumper sticker.

 

[Blue Tile Spook]

Okay, Dogman, my bad. I did completely misunderstand it, I'll admit it. I'm not thinking too clearly today and I didn't "hear" the sarcasm. Mea Culpa.

I apologize.

I apologize.

But it was still a good post

No problem. That's the trouble with posting I should have added a smilies.
For a moment there I thought I was losing my sarcasm ability.

Finity will be along shortly to explain how the Democrats are defending "all the rest of the BoR." Just wait.

Hey CarmelHP, thanks for the invite. I didn't want to be rude & disappoint.

In your heart you know he's nuts.

Wow, I must be famous, I haven't even been on this thread yet & already I'm getting personal attacks from "the usual suspects".


Here goes:

Oklahomans stand firmly Republican - USATODAY.com

Mayor Mick Cornett
Office of the Mayor
Mick Cornett became Oklahoma City's 35th mayor on March 2, 2004. Cornett was re-elected on March 7, 2006 with over 87 percent of the vote, the highest percentage in Oklahoma City history. When first elected at age 45, Cornett was the City's youngest mayor since 1959.


Cornett has quickly developed into a statewide and national spokesperson on municipal issues. He is frequently asked to speak to Congress and the White House on behalf of cities across the nation.
In 2007, he was elected as a Trustee of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the highest governing body in that organization. He had previously served on the Advisory Board and as Chair of the Urban Economic Policy Committee. Cornett is also the national President of the organization representing Republican Mayors and Local Officials (RMLO). In June, 2007, Mayor Cornett made the exciting announcement that Oklahoma City had secured the 2010 Annual Meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.

It seems that there aren't any liberals in the decision making process in this incident. The mayor is a Republican. It looks as though the Police Chief is a Republican. I couldn't find out for sure but I think its safe to assume that the city council is predominantly Republican. The state is staunchly Republican.

So how does this have anything to do with liberals again? Thats right it doesn't. Obama didn't ask that cop to do it. He didn't sick his SS guys on the person. Just more silly childish name calling by people who need to make up anything to be able to bash on liberals.

Here's a funny little bit of irony. I was just involved in a bit of PM repartee with a member here who shall remain nameless. The funny thing is that I was accused of (in their words) "Finity, you have Bush Derangement Syndrome. Every 3rd word out of your mouth is Bush. I'm tired of it and many others on the forum are tired of it also." For those who don't see the irony here, here is an excercise:

Count how many threads are in the forum. Now count how many have the words Obama, liberal, communist or socialist in them. I think you'll start to see a trend.

And I'm the one who was told by this same individual that I needed medication. Kool-aid comes in both flavors - liberal & conservative.

as an end note: Yeah the cop needs reprimanded & so do the SS guys who visited him. There was no reason for him to have been harrassed over a stupid bumper sticker. (BTW that's Secret Service not Schutzstaffel. I don't want to get that started again. But if you want... )

 

[CarmelHP]

Of course the cop is obviously a Dem, the Chief directed an apology to the citizen, so it's the Ds doing the censoring and the Rs trying to make it right, but finity is not known for full disclosure. Oh, and who's the President who sent the SS, the guy who's the head of the executive branch and sets the policy, oh yeah right.

[Roadie]

I think the biggest issue here is the glaring double standard. Insulting Bush,OK; insulting Obama, not OK. I have a co worker that is very pro gun and anti Obama, and whenever we talk about any issue that is not pro Obama people look at us like we insulted Jesus (wait, bad example, it's OK to insult Jesus too)

People want to preach tolerance, but only when it suits THEIR viewpoint. They just don't get that when they try to suppress OUR opinions, that TOO is intolerance.

 

[finity]

Of course the cop is obviously a Dem,

I'm sure you know this because there was a report about it somewhere or you personally asked him?

If not then you are just making stuff up. That is a far cry from the "pure & honest truth"(TM) that you imply that the conservatives have a monopoly on. Going by the results of the last election I think he has more of a chance to be a Republican than a "Dem". At least I posted a justification for my assumption. Thats a lot more than you did.

the Chief directed an apology to the citizen,

Good. The person should have gotten an apology.

so it's the Ds doing the censoring and the Rs trying to make it right,

And that statement is based on what evidence? Sounds like a purely emotionally based reaction with no facts in the matter. Just making more stuff up I see.

Oh, and who's the President who sent the SS, the guy who's the head of the executive branch and sets the policy, oh yeah right.

So again you know for a fact that Obama personally sent the SS guys to harrass the guy? Based on what? There you go again posting things based on assumptions & innuendo, or are you just not fully disclosing your inside double-dog-secret sources?

So if (he who I'm not allowed to speak his name in fear of being sent off to the loony bin in a straight jacket)'s SS guys would have done the same to some anti-(he who I'm not allowed to speak his name in fear of being sent off to the loony bin in a straight jacket) liberal he would've been held to the same standard by the same people complaining now? Or would you be saying that he's just an anti-American pinko commie hippy who deserved everything he got? I know which way my bet would be placed.

Some examples:

jlassen: When Bears Growl (Or how I become the subject of a Secret Service Investigation)

The Columbia Chronicle - 2008-05-12

A prof's phone call to Bush leads to a Secret Service probe - Archive

American Civil Liberties Union : ACLU Criticizes Secret Service Investigation of News Website That Posted RNC Delegates' Names

Oh and here the SS interviewed a 15 year old for drawings he made against (he who I'm not allowed to speak his name in fear of being sent off to the loony bin in a straight jacket):

Secret Service confiscates anti-Bush drawings by 15-year-old at Prosser High

Will you now agree that (he who I'm not allowed to speak his name in fear of being sent off to the loony bin in a straight jacket) was just as bad as, if not worse than, Obama or will you stick to your same old bash-Obama-and-the-liberals-for-no-other-reason-than-he-won-the-election-&-your-guy-didn't baby tantrum?

Here's some good examples of how the "communist anti-American liberals" are defending other rights:

ACLU Defense of Freedom of Religion and Religious Expression

It doesn't matter how many times you say something it doesn't make it true. Your type just likes to think that it does.

 

[Joe Williams]

LMAO!! Whoever said Finity would show up to defend the actions of the OK cops was right.

Even better... somehow it's all Bush's fault, judging by the last post.

I think the biggest issue here is the glaring double standard.

The double standard cuts both ways.

People want to preach tolerance, but only when it suits THEIR viewpoint. They just don't get that when they try to suppress OUR opinions, that TOO is intolerance.

Its not so cool when the shoe is on the other foot is it?

 

[finity]

LMFAO!!! You have no idea what you're talking about. Why must you people make stuff up & have the nerve to say it like it is the truth. Are you that obtuse or just intentionally misrepresenting what I say?

If you want to be honest read the last line of my post #51:

as an end note: Yeah the cop needs reprimanded & so do the SS guys who visited him. There was no reason for him to have been harrassed over a stupid bumper sticker.

Its not (he who I'm not allowed to speak his name in fear of being sent off to the loony bin in a straight jacket)'s fault but he certainly lowered the bar of acceptable conduct by the future inhabitants of the white house. That was one of the points of posting those links. The other was to show the huge hypocrisy of some of the posters here, you included from the looks of it.

You called it Correct

There's a surprise. You agreeing with, and actually promoting, something that is obviously not true about me.

I think I was wrong. I think you have 'Finity Derangement Syndrome'.

I really try to not make personal attacks but sometimes you just have to say 'WTF?'
