My question is why do we hear so much about all this fraud going on but not about any prosecutions or people getting jail time? Are federal officials wetting their pants about the prospect of putting Katrina leeches behind bars for fear of getting Jesse Jackson and his ilk all upset?

QUOTE(minors @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 02:04 AM) Again Liberals will say anything to hide the fact they can't beat him in a election. From what it sounds like he could be Gov of Arizona (or wherever he is from) today. Also if he supposingly an"international child pornographer" why has he won 2 elections since then and a recall plus still holding his job and nothing coming out about this, the answer these charges were BS. Just a liberal trying to get a make a create a huge story. You pretty much said everything I felt like saying on that issue. Methinks that these leftists are throwing all sorts of random s*** his way and seeing if any of it will stick.

Wait a minute, what kind of a douchebag would show up to a Rangers/Sox game wearing Tigers gear? LOL!

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 01:37 AM) Except that I cited the source in my post...Oh yeah, then it becomes a citation. And I'm pretty sure that it is not a liberal extremist who runs the site. Arpaio.com was developed in 1998 by Lieutenant Roy Reyer, who is now retired. In 1997, Roy was assigned to the Community Services section of the Sheriff's Office and was directly involved in "setting up" the first "Joe Shows" under the direction of David Hendershott. Roy became concerned and wrote a memorandum outlining problems he observed to Chief Roe, then the Chief Deputy under Sheriff Arpaio. -- It's a person who worked with him that can't stand him. But that still doesn't change the fact that Arpaio's treatment of criminals does nothing to lesson the recitivism rate at his prison. My mistake, it's an ex-employee who has a chip on his shoulder. ( How dare I dispute the accuracy of him! ) Even if that did end up being true I couldn't care less. The fact that he treats criminals like scum instead of coddling them alone makes me a fan of his. Also, if he's so horrible then why is it that he keeps on getting re-elected every time?

QUOTE(minors @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 01:32 AM) I believe it was you that got onto me about cutting and pasting from an extermist webpage. But here is the bottom line Joe is uber popular and wins elections crushes liberal recall elections and how does he do it because the people like him he punishes the criminals the way they should be and cuts out the free ride that prisoners have in other states. LOL!!! Did he really get on you about copying info from extremist websites?! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 11:53 PM) Just curious, do you think we should treat a murderer the same way we would should treat a drug possesor? Why are you so willing to give up your freedom? I thought the terrorists hated us because of our freedom. Whose side are you on? Treat all criminals equally I say.........like s***bags.

QUOTE(THEWOOD @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 09:45 PM) Very good book. As of late I am on a tear of reading many fictions books. I have read the last two books by Stephen Frey, a book called The Two Minute Rule, The Patriots Club by Christopher Reich, The Camel Club by David Baldacci, and am currently reading Number Account by Christopher Reich. I like fiction that deals with the investment banking world and legal thrillers. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Took a fast look at Christopher Reich's work on Amazon & liked what I saw. I'll have to check out a couple of his works once I whittle my backlog down a little more.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 10:36 PM) It seems so simple to understand, but there will always be deadbeats who are too cheap to use protection, or too stupid to not care about how much it takes to take care of a child. Would you rather have deadbeats get an abortion if it was their choice, or would you rather have them give birth to the kid knowing they can't afford it and would be sucking away at the welfare system? For those that think an unborn fetus is a child, does that mean they are entitled to the rights of all individual under 18? Should a mother be able to collect more support while she is pregnant? Should one of these s***bags that we always see on Maury Povich be forced to pay child support while the mother is still carrying the child? Id rather they give up the child up for adoption so that some real parents can take care of them. I do think that an unborn child is entitled to the same rights other children have, not the least of which is the right to live. As for support, you obviously wouldn't have the father paying more support because the mother doesn't have to feed & clothe the child yet.

I wish there were more sheriffs like this guy. At least SOMEONE in this country has the balls to deal with this problem the way it should be dealt with. Too bad our government does not.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 09:56 AM) This thread is hilarious. The same right-wingers (to borrow a phrase) who complain about the schools sucking are calling this kid, who agreed with them and had the balls to express it in the open, a whining f***tard who couldn't get a date. Right wingers were the one trashing this kid? Im the king of the right wingers around here and I praised him.

Work and school are really cutting into my time for reading but I just finished the book "Term Limits" by Vince Flynn. That was an outstanding read! Looking at reading "A Painted House" by Grisham next. Probably wont get to it till I go on vacation later this month though.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 04:16 PM) Couldn't have said it better myself. I've seen numerous instances of female and/or minoritiy candidates (who are underrepresented in my field) receive job offers, while more-qualified white males who interviewed for the same positions received "Thank you for your interest" letters. None of these under-represented people were significantly "disadvantaged" in comparison to their white male counterparts. Affirmative actions creats feelings of inferiority in those who benefit from it and feelings of hostility in everyone else. Not to mention that it fails to accomplish the most important thing: selecting the best person for the position. If some of these minorities had an ounce of pride and integrity they would view affirmative action as a slap in the face. Instead, they greedily accept preferential treatment because all they are looking for is a handout and a way to get over on the system.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 02:36 PM) It's a tough question. There is a preponderance of evidence, or so I'm led to believe, that other races face challenges and legacies of institutional racism that still put other non-white races at a disadvantage. Although it may no longer be overt, and although there maybe plenty of places where that isn't the case - there are places where it does happen and they are numerous. It's difficult, because the need to ensure an adequate or equal opportunity shouldn't be outweighed by merit or a desire to create an equal result. In some cases, some special advantages may be necessary to make an equal opportunity available for everyone. When the Irish came to this country they faced poor treatment based on their heritage and so did the Italians and Orientals. They didn't cry about it, they dealt with it and busted their ass to make things better and look how well they are all doing now. The whole idea of affirmative action or any manner of preferences is simply trying to use 2 wrongs to make a right. You can't complain all day long about how unfair things are then happily accept an unfair advantage that benefits you. Thats hypocrasy. What is needed is a level playing field where merit decides who gets what. If that means that minorities don't get a certain percentage of jobs or college admissions or whatever then maybe they should shut their yaps and look to better themselves. Like I said in a different thread, Americans are becomming a nation of whiny, spoiled b****es. Im sick and tired of this whole victim culture in this country and the asinine things that spawn from it.

I just think its hilarious that the leftists were all salivating over the possibility of a Rove indictment and now they all have to eat s***. Its all too funny for words and thats why we have a presumption of innocence in this country.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 03:41 PM) I never said that Germany could reach the United States land, but they did create problems over the Eastern seaboard. They did infact, killing 5000 people off the US coast in 1942 alone and sinking nearly 400 ships. That sort of thing happens in wartime.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 02:00 PM) Oh great, even this turns into a WW2 debate. The big reason the Nazis were unable to hit the U.S. was that the U.S. won the war too quickly for any of those to happen. Within only a couple years after the end of that war, technology in this country, based in no small part on items seized from the Germans, were accomplishing all the flights that would have been necessary to hit the U.S. They didn't have the time or resources because the U.S. army did a pretty darn good job. On the other hand, the Japanese actually did have the technology to hit the U.S., and in fact did so. The Japanese navy did raid the west coast of the U.S., and there were also the famous Japanese balloon bombs, dozens of which actually reached the west coast, one of which killed a bunch of kids. Some of them in fact may still be lying around in the forests out here waiting for someone to walk up to them. Japan also had a very advanced biological warfare program, which, had the war continued, may have led to loading of those balloons with biological devices. We're into the hypothetical now. Japanese balloon bombs were almost as comical as the German saboteurs. They were wildly innacurate and mostly landed in the middle of nowhere. Even if the Japanese had managed to figure out a way to deliver their bio-weapons via that system the agent would most likely have been sprayed over open wilderness and dissapated in the wind long before they could hurt anyone.
