Not the same thing at all. Being black or Hispanic is something you don't have a choice about, being a cop is a job. There are processes in place that are supposed to get rid of bad cops and they rarely do. Give every black guy a badge, a gun, a union, a toothless internal affairs department and a

One could argue that customs agents have a right to ask these questions, just like we have a right to not answer them. On Sat, Sep 18, 2010 at 12:10 PM, Judah McAuley wrote: > > Exercising rights is pretty much the only way you keep them. > > On Sat, Sep 18, 2010 at 3:17 AM, Medic wrote: >> >>

"Does it scare you that she won a majority?" No. It seems to scare the left and establishment Republicans though. Many people don't seem to get the picture. Her nomination is not a ringing endorsement of her religion or her potential. No one thinks she is going to be the next Ronald Reagan or
