No they would not. They cannot write a document that speaks of personal freedom and then say.... "As long as you agree with my ideas". I believe that they were intelligent beyond what many or most people today can comprehend. With freedom comes the belief that we can have a disagreement in lifestyles. I believe they saw that and documented it. Even when you say that they were vague about the "creator", if you take them for their words then they agreed that there was a creator and therefore not atheists that believe that is no creator.

It is more like propaganda was formally used almost exclusively by governments but now with social media, every individual can get in the act.

I upped my order to 4,000 rounds because other people wanted some.

I just ordered 2,000 rounds of 9mm.

It looks like this guy went down in a shootout with the police. Of course he may have taken the typical coward's way out be killing himself once the police started firing to keep from being captured.

Yep. I think this is a conspiracy by store owners to drive up the price of ammo.

Who is "you people"?

If 90,000 people packed into a stadium and paid to watch me interview a witness or if they put it on video and 10 million people paid to watch it, I might make a lot more money. Me writing a $125 citation or talking to a victim doesn't drag in quite the same money as Payton Manning. Until then...........

The "threat" in the article in the first post is not a terroristic that by Texas law. That law says it is a violation to make a threat of "imminent" death or serious bodily injury. Imminent is not defined in the Penal Code so we have to go to the dictionary. Imminent means about to happen or likely to occur at any moment. The article says that the Panthers say that "if" the police don't stop doing certain things then sometime in the future they will respond. That is hardly an "imminent" threat. We get similar calls all the time with conditional threats. "If you don't stop doing this, I am going to start doing that". There is a component of a threat there but it does not come close to a threat of something that is about to happen or in other words, imminent.

There is no system in place to help people that are having mental issues. The police can pick up anyone for screening at a psychiatric facility without a warrant and a person can be held for up to 3 days (I think) and then released. They are usually or many times put on meds that tend to help alleviate the problem. What happens many times after that is the person is released, usually to the streets and then the person quits taking the meds. You are then back at square one. This is often repeated time and time again for many years. Most never turn very violent but on rare occasion it can turn bad. The days of putting someone that has serious mental issues in a facility to long term detentions (sometimes a lifetime) do not exist anymore. Families often have a hard time dealing with them, possibly for just getting tired after years of the behavior or perhaps out of fear of confrontation.

Great. How many of those third party candidates have won and how many times have you ended up with the lesser of evils? The third party candidate is the dupe. "Vote for me!! I have absolutely no chance of winning anything but I can certainly give you a place to throw away your vote if you are looking to stomp your feet I protest!".

I have very little knowledge about kayaks but I see a kayak club meeting sometimes when I go to Daley's in Nederland. I think it is the Salt Water Boys kayak club and they have a weekly or monthly meeting there. I think they could provide a lot of face to face information to someone looking to get into it for a hobby. I see that they have a link to their homepage on Daley's website. You could also read their forums at www.saltwaterboysfishing.com You can also go to Daley's site at daleyshf.com under events and find a link to the club's tournament schedule. I know that you are not likely concerned about tournament fishIng but am guessing that those guys are a wealth of information.

Laying out facts will get you nowhere in a political argument.

I love the comments on Facebook from all the sidewalk lawyers and police officers.

Did your mother have any children that lived?

Only by being protected by the Obama adminstration. As soon as he decides, the DOJ will probably get her indicted. If Biden decides to stay on the sidelines, she will probably escape.

I am sure it is all about Chelsea's wedding, Bill's bimbos and other stuff that had nothing to do with national security.

Right.... and I have the Statue of Liberty up for sale.... cheap. Make me an offer.

The law says that it is capital murder to kill a police officer who is " acting in the lawful discharge of an official duty". It depends on what is decided as an official duty. I think that it means you're on duty or acting as a police officer at that moment and were killed because you were a police officer. I think his attorney is trying to make the point that the officer had to be taking some kind of official action. I do not believe that is the law and certainly not how it was intended. Being on duty "is" acting as a peace officer. As an example in San Antonio about 4 years ago a deputy was killed while sitting at a red light. He was taking no action other than driving but the suspect was charged and went to trial for Capital Murder. What "official act" was he taking other than patrolling, which to me is an "official duty". That is what lawyers do, try to figure out some angle. I don't think it will work however.

Good.

You do realize that you have made a conclusion of what others did based solely on your assumptions. I am sure that it had nothing to do with a bunch of wires attached to a circuit board inside of a briefcase. Obviously anyone could have seen that and determined that it was a clock.

Obviously this has gone over your head.

This kind of nonsense is what started all the standardized testing in the first place.

Therein lies his problem. When his jokes run out in a month or so, will he actually say anything that makes any sense or will it still simply be, "trust me" ..... which is almost exact what we heard from Obama and his claims to "fundamentally" change this country. And I am not completely against Trump. I think we could do worse and currently are doing worse. I don't buy the idea that he is an "outsider" and not a politician as the main reason to vote for him. He would be almost nothing had it not been for his already being established as a celebrity.
