So according to you, if a person has a financial misstep (whether his own fault or unforeseen circumstances) then his whole professional trade cannot be trusted. I know a RN that raped a patient while on duty (and was later convicted of the crime).Therefore, all RN's are potential rapists and are not to be trusted. Does that pretty much surmise your position?

  Wow. Your financial planner's car was repossessed and now all of a sudden Nash is not to be trusted based on that? Is that really what you are implying? You better be careful...Bluedove might be ready to pounce!  Oops, nevermind.

9-0! Even the 4 uber liberal judges said the "constitutional scholar/professor" did not follow the constitution.

My monthly statement from Wells Fargo said nothing of the kind. In fact, my dividend went down. Humm, I wonder if Wells Fargo is treating their clientele differently? If so, what would be the criteria for one group getting a "blue skies ahead" letter and one group getting a smaller dividend check?

  As opposed to listening to Chris Matthews, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Steven Colbert, and all the ladies on The View. Seriously?

Who is trying to make the poor poorer?   BOOM BOOM and finally BOOM!!! Whatever that is supposed to mean.

  The bible does not say "steal from the rich to give to the poor", which is the liberal doctrine.

Does anyone know if the board voted to continue the appeal of the TEA takeover?

  Groveton beat Cooper 82-6 in the Regional Semi-Finals (Quarter-Finals...3rd Round), not the State Semi-Finals. I didn't realize Bam Morris was a senior for Cooper that year. I remember wanting to go to that game (had a couple of friends from Corrigan that were going) but ended up going with some other friends to see Newton/Mexia instead. I did go to the Groveton/Corrigan-Camden game the next week. That was the first time I got to see Rodney Thomas and I was thoroughly impressed.

I was thinking the same thing Hippy.

Agreed!

The original statement I heard about indictments stemming from BISD investigations was that a hundred or more indictments would be filed...not a hundred or more people would get indicted. For example, one person could have 37 indictments against him/her i.e. Calvin Walker. Later I kept hearing from other sources that 100 or more people would be indicted. I simply took that as these sources misinterpreting the original source. But who knows, maybe it will be a hundred or more people or just a few.   I just heard from a reliable source ^^^ who heard from his reliable source that around 80 people would be indicted.

Our founding fathers and government leaders from 100 years ago would call for an overthrow of our current government. And who could blame them! This government is way worse than the old British government they sought sovereignty from.

  Who is "they (da system)" you refer to? Are they the perceived "angry old white men" or do you have a new stereotype for "these people"?

  You have no clue how I feel. It might be frustration, it might be tongue-in-cheek.   Instead of trying to analyze the messenger to find some way of shooting him, why don't you address the point. Do you deny that you, and others, accuse people of being racist without proof then challenge them to prove otherwise?   And I don't mind if you throw out a race card alert. I've had them thrown at me all my life. When you're a southern white redneck then racists accusations are a daily occurrence. And that would be...what's the word I'm looking for...oh yeah...racial stereotyping.

  That's a typical position for race baiters...throw out an unsupported accusation then demand that you prove yourself innocent.   How about this Bluedove, you are a child molester. I have nothing to base this on, but I will continue to call you that until you prove your innoncence. Maybe then you can walk a mile in a white man's shoes.

  Or maybe the white stereotypes are wrong.

  Liberals only give the benefit of the doubt to other liberals.

I assuming they read my post. :D

  That incident wouldn't even had made the news 6 years ago.   [Hidden Content]

  When you say Perry made a fool out of himself, are you referring to the time he said he had been to 57 states with one more to go?

Frankly, I don't have a problem with open carry demostrations...at all. In fact, I kinda like them. I like the idea that every would-be criminal knows that in Texas you are likely to come across an armed citizen while carrying out your chosen line of work. Open carry reinforces that "stereotype". And yes, criminals do profile people.   I've been going to a particular "hangout" on the weekends for years. People from all over southeast Texas come there. A whole lot of alcohol is consumed, and probably over half of the people are carrying gun(s). That's a conservative estimate. Every once in a while words are exchanged or a fight briefly breaks out. But not one time has anybody pointed a gun at another person, much less shot at someone else.   Being surrounded by people carrying guns does not make me feel uncomfortable one bit. Now if I'm ever surrounded by Democratic politicians, I would make sure to keep a firm grip on my wallet.

  I don't know. Is he a Democrat or Republican? If Democrat, he will be probably be forgiven. If Republican, he is still an angry old white male racist.     Edit: I just realized this topic is in the Locker Room and not the the Political section. Please disregard this post!

[Hidden Content]   I'm waiting to hear what Diane Fienstein has to say about this.
