After the mess the GOP made of there one time in power, they won't be again until the become inclusive. They want a grass roots power, but they exclude all but the insiders in determining who is going to run for office. They need to open up the party, include the people on the street and have a primary. If they don't, they have dictatorship, which no one is going to support anymore. I know I am retty much done with them and I have been a GOP supporter for over 45 years.
Perhaps they check the MN Criminal Code. 609.765 CRIMINAL DEFAMATION. Seems to me what he did fits very well.
Obviously you have never been a police officer, but I have and spent 21 years in law enforcement. False calls are a terribly dangerous situation. Its dangerous because it is not handled as a false call. They are all handled as a real call and somebody is apt to get shot and killed, say a kid with a toy gun or with something that looks like a gun. That is not logical inconsistency, that is why calling in false alarms are against the law. I can tell you if I were on a false call and I told...
Why would children be anymore confused about having gay parents than to have several parents as a result of divorce or having no parents because of divorce, alcoholism, spousal abuse you name it? The bottom line is a man and a women being married doesn't mean it was made in heaven. Most of them about 61% are made in hell and the poor kids are in the middle being pulled every which way. I suppose those opposed to gay marriage think it is alright for their father to come home late at night...
Banning anything guns, drugs, alcohol, bread, you name it has never worked and will not work. All banning something does is make new millionaires. As soon as something is banned, somebody will think of way to smuggle it in and sell it. I don't care what it is the banned, that is way it has always been and that is the way it will always be.
When was the last time some of the teenage gang bangers in the Metro, had a background check before they got the gun that they used to shoot and killed the person they were after? How many stolen guns are brought into the state from, another state, from mexico, from an Eastern bloc country, and or China? How many people in the state of MN have a false ID that they can use to buy any item they wish, including guns and alcohol? How do we know any background check is accurate? Why does the FBI...
I actually had email conversations with several GOP legislators that believe being gay is a choice. It is incredible that supposedly intelligent people would believe in what a Bible says, rather than face the facts of science. When I pointed out that the genes, plural, responsible for determining the sexual preference of a human being are the 7th 8th and tenth, but the tenth is a factor only if it is inherited from the mother, their response was right out of the dark ages. I got bible,...
I was in law enforcement for 21 years, I commented in another story in MN Post of how I thought it was ridiculous to think kids raised in gay marriage would be confused. That got me thinking about how wonderful marriage is and how many domestic calls I went on in 21 years. The number is so large I can't even begin to remember them all. Spousal abuse is not limited to any one class of people either, spousal abuse is classless, colorless, raceless, ageless, jobless, you name it. On any night...
"The real problem is the remaining 40 percent of gun transactions that occur in the illegal “secondary market,” which includes gun brokers who a) sell guns directly; b) find customers for gun dealers who sell off the books; and c) match sellers with gun buyers in backstreet gun shows." He has just proven by that statement that he knows absolutely nothing about guns. I was in law enforcement for over 21 years, the last 7 as an investigator for the State of WI. There was and still is a huge...
"The forum will be more than and inside-politics event. "I would hope that delegates, activists, and voters see that we are vetting our officers and that we have a great field of candidates, " Jungbauer said. " It is an inside event, no GOP voters have a say in anything. A voter can't even get in. Then they wonder why they have angered so many people, when the party is so inclusive it is out of touch with voters. This is the 1st state I have lived in where the voters didn't get to vote in a...
