One tendentious opinion away.
From the same tyranny.

A quick read of this article will surely leave you outraged. The story is simple enough: a neat amalgam of barbarism and PC bureaucracy, the sort of anarchy compounded by oppression that Liberalism so excels at producing.
A former British soldier endures as his neighborhood terrorized by a pack of feral young thugs (“yobs,” as they call them over there) for several days. He calls the police; they never come. He looks for an officer; finds none. Coming home one day to find his wife in tears and terrified, he finally has enough, and goes out to execute a citizen’s arrest, dragging one of the thugs into house and calling his mother. Thereupon the police arrive with the mother — and naturally arrest the homeowner.
This is justice under Liberalism.
Let it be noted that there was a somewhat similar case in Illinois five years ago, where a man who fought off an intruder in his house was charged with a handgun violation. State Sen. Obama voted against bills to remedy this manifest injustice twice.
Yesterday we all sat around in worried anticipation, hoping the Supreme Court would manage, this time, to maintain the plain meaning of the words of our Constitution and restore to us our self-government. The outcome was a good one — barely. But the tyranny of the Court is still in place. The four Liberals very frequently succeed in persuading Justice Kennedy to join them in their usurpations. They care not one whit about the plain meaning of the Constitution. They do exactly as they please.
Here in America, packs of feral youths exist in appalling abundance, just like in Britain. But most of them are well aware that their potential victims may be armed. On that fact, friends, much of our liberty hangs.
And we are only a tendentious opinion from one of the Liberal Usurpers on the Court, or their creature Kennedy, under the spell of the New York-DC elite adulation — one tendentious opinion citing foreign law, or sweet mystery of life, or mystical evolving standards, away from the same tyranny that would send the homeowner who defends his wife against thugs to jail, while showering the thugs with sympathy.

"Packs of feral youths" makes me think of the Congressional Democrats. They definitely mug us enough.
Everyone points to SCOTUS rulings as evidence of why we must vote for McCain. Rush and others have gone to great pains to explain that with a greater Dem majority in Congress McCain will not nominate any judges to SCOTUS more righty than moderate, and the judiciary committees control who gets confirmed, so that who is president is important but no guarantee of good court nominees. For that matter, Bush screwed up bigtime before he got it right with Roberts and Alito. 7 of 9 current justices were nominated by Republican presidents and some are just plain disgraceful.
I know we have to vote for McCain and Fred being on board gives me hope, but frankly I have no expectations. Imagining Obama and crew in the WH is what motivates me.
You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.
in Cleveland yesterday for his music player. Mayor Jackson sees handguns as the the problem though saying earlier that laws based on the 2nd amendment, "seeks to threaten the safety of our children, citizens, businesses and visitors by nullifying local gun laws that were put in place to address the specific needs of the City of Cleveland."
Obviously the city of Cleveland "needs" something...

As for those foolish onlookers, I hope the images haunt them for the rest of their lives. Worthless POS fools.

Just a typical, small town, British-American girl...
A topic that raises broad based cultural, legal, and crime concerns.
The West tolerates all sorts of bad behavior, but does not tolerate attempts by citizens to navigate the resulting marass.
If the yobs were Jihadists, someone would have died.
The dissenters truly beclowned themselves yesterday, and if anything can deter an arrogant, straw-grasping jurist it is ridicule (see,Kennedy).
Nonetheless, given the sharp division I have decided to make every effort to vote for McCain and encourage others to do so. I'm sure I'm not alone. And as an aside, if Obama does pull it out, will our senators please follow their Democratic brethern's lead and make Heller along with Kelo a litmus test? I don't want to see another Ginsberg rubberstamped ever again, and if I do I'm out of the party for good.
