Burn fossil fuels?   :argh:

Urinate on a Crucifix?  :yahoo:

Burn a Koran?  :argh:

Disagree with President Barak Obama?  :racist:

Call Former President George W. Bush any number of offensive names?  :rofl:

10. Those who are getting bent out of shape don't know Oakland and once the whole

OPD gets placed under Federal control and they finally learn some of the local history, they will feel chagrin that they seemed to stand with OPD in anyway. 

The Oakland Police Dept is going to be folded into Federal control?  Anybody else hear of this? 

Frank, someone at the DUmp poses your question:

You know who I'm really starting to hate?  Sabrina.  The way she rationalizes everything is maddening.  If OWSers ate a baby on live TV, she would find some pretzel logic to explain away with a dismissive wave of her hand.  And she goes on and on and on.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

As said earlier, when the brave OWS patriots burn a koran I will be impressed.  Until then just a bunch of pussies that a hundred years ago would have had the shit beat out of them, tarred, feathered, and taken out of town on a rail.

So how are the police to know that these morons were trying to burn down the City Hall with their "stupid piece of cloth"? I'm not even going to get into the fact that this is a flag that I sacrificed eight years of my life fighting under and God willing my husband will serve under for many more years.

You know, here DUmp Link is a pretty good piece by Nuclear Unicorn.  She tells them what for.

38. I was referring to equating DUers who don't meet the radical purity test with conservatives.

The fact is DUers come in basically three flavors: far left Social Democrats, extremely left socialists, and insanely left communists/Trotskyites. Whining that leftists are actually conservatives because some of us recognize it's folly to expect to bring down the government and institute a socialist utopia is rather silly and lacking in perspective.

far as i'm concerned there is not enough of a beating that could be given to scum that hates the very country that gives them the freedoms they abuse.

Just a piece of cloth, to these people, say if one were to attack grandma and wrench off her wedding ring would this become just a piece of metal, no big deal??    Some one sets fire to their home and all the pictures of family are gone, just a bunch of paper tough luck buddy.      

The flag belongs to us, to the people that have been born and died under it.   These uneducated College students have no idea of what symbols mean to humans until something of little worth itself but having great meaning to them is stolen from them.

These people do not do this on their own, they have to be incited to do so from the older and so called smarter folks that are their teachers or part of the so called Comunity Representatives.

Don't have the money to pay for a cover charge at a hot spot, no reason to stay at home, come on down to a rally good place to meet hot chicks.  Lots of fun marching in the street, never know when
 some riot will break out, lots of hyped up folks ready to put on a show.  ------ Controlled Hysteria, Like a rock Concert, before the opening just takes one person to yell out and half the audience cheers wildly for no reason.

Damn, people do not do this by themselves, has to be a pusher to incite them to burn our flag to bomb our buildings and just ask Patty Hurst why she rampaged into a bank with a submachine gun and posed with that gun in front of the SLA Liberty flag.

Oh then there are people like Billy Ayers, a brother to Obama,   damn that Billy boy must be chomping to go back to his old days of , if you have no plans for next Friday night we are going to blow up the Statue of Liberty, want to come along and join in.??  No problem in 30 years I will be best friend and confident to the President.

These are the same people (& the term is used at it's most liberal definition) that were foaming at the mouth that Governor Brewer pointed her finger at 0bama?

Wonder how they'd react if a decent person burned a Red Chinese flag? Or a Venezuelan flag. Or Iranian?

Well, to be fair, he has failed miserably at everything else he's ever done.  Scumbag drug addict is about all he has left.

A piece of cloth, just a piece of cloth they say.--------Why then do they get outraged about burning paper, just paper with words on it called the Koran.

Torture at Gitmo, prisoner's have to watch as Americans throw pieces of paper in the toilet or burn it.  Darn we are barbarians to do such. Forget the 3 hots and medical care they get, kill them but do not burn those pieces of paper. this is worse then water boarding. 

Not one peep when the Bible is burned, say it is only paper.  Our Flag is only cloth, why the upset when it is burned?
What an evil country we are, we burn paper to torture others.   Others burn just cloth, they have the right to do so but others have no right to burn paper.

I would like to see a Christian day set aside for the burning of only paper.  One day a month where just paper is burned outside in a trash barrel outside all Christian Churches.  Hell in the south this can become a comunity Pig Picken day for the town. so 1/10% of the fuel is just paper with words on it, might add flavor to the pork.

I am willing to sell my car to get money to any Christian church to openly advertise a paper burning in the spring. 
Like the small church in the South that threatened to burn the Paper and people way off in the world rioted, Screw them.

Time to fish or cut bait------if we do not draw the bugs out of the wood pile now, 10 years from now we will have an infestation of the critters.
