Buchanan bothers me so much. He starts out talking sense like few others, then he gets all racist and ends up saying that you should vote Republican because even though they're terrible, they aren't those damn liberals.

the true injustice in this story is that he is imprisoned in South Bend, IN.
That should be considered cruel and unusual punishment.

That's Obama's fault.
He closed the Guantánamo Bay resort.

It occurs to me that if the issue (as claimed) is all about expansion in spending and running up the national debt, then why aren't they marching on Wall Street? And assault their homes. The weather in the Hamptons is about perfect for building a tent city.
Heck, perfect setting for Long Island Iced Tea! No bags; you get in one.

Also, the teenager appears to be a /b/tard.
And his mom thought it was funny.
So basically, he's what they made Guantanamo Detention Camp for.

So from the OP
Lundeby told the officers that someone had hacked into her son's IP address and was using it to make crank calls connected through the Internet, making it look like the calls had originated from her home when they did not.
His mom was lying tot he cops, as the above story makes clear that she knew he was a YouTube /b/tard prank caller and she was proud of him for it.
Wow.

Different missions. No doubt there is cross over, and many tea protesters are disapproving of this. But this in't what they organized for, any more then abortion is what the war protestors organized over.

While we are talking about outrage and lack of it, how come those with outrage about the Boy Scouts not allowing gay leaders aren't outraged about Miss America pageant requiring a particular point of view and the smear campaign going on against Miss California because she chose to be honest and express her point of view?

Miss California is accepting Federal funding while getting away with practicing discrimination in violation of Federal law?
I mean, that is the issue with the BSA...
Aw, he's no fun, he fell right over.
Unless you become as little children, there's no way you will believe this crap.

Dur.....what? Do you really need help with this one? Do you even grasp what the complaint over the Boy Scouts concerned?
Apparently not.
Your obsession over this Miss America thing really is over-the-top.
A. They invited Perez Hilton as a judge.
B. They paid for Miss California's breast implants.
Perhaps this pageant isn't due the high esteem you've apparently held for it. What's the smurfing point of asking a question if you're not going to "judge" the response?

Conservatives angry about gun fears, tax fears, socialism fears, toaster-marrying fears, evolution fears = very numerous and very loud
Conservatives angry about torture, patriot act, Iraq war, wiretapping, Katrina, government secrecy = not very numerous and definitely not very loud
Therefore ...
Belief that conservatives are seriously concerned about liberty and the constitution regardless of which party is in power = questionable

All I can say is that the conservatives and liberals are both regularly retarded on several issues, and whoever in the minority is the loudest concerning their favourite Constitutional rights. Probably because it gets them votes for the next go around.

Yup pretty much. I don't write the Republican party platform. All I can do is protest against things I disagree with. Many of which are bastions of the conservatives.

Yes I do - and it has about as much to do with Miss America as the Patriot Act has with the Tea Party agenda.
