Protect
What? Serve Who? You Talkin' to Me?
The image above illustrates the calm, professional,
tolerant face of the New York City Police Department as
it goes about its business of assisting the members
of Occupy
Wall Street understand the true meaning of the Bill
of Rights. (Click

Here's another photo of this same
policeman. As you can see his knuckles
are raw from
punching defenseless kids
in the head all night. It is the picture of a man
who really enjoys his work. (At least in Seattle the
police display proper etiquette by pepper-spraying
the elderly instead of punching them in the face.)
We do not pay the police to act like thugs for the
benefit of corporations. We pay
them to protect the people and maintain order, not
actively
cause disorder.
If we the people decide to congregate in large numbers
in public parks and decry injustice then the role
of the officer is
to direct
traffic.
End of story.
I understand that the nation's police are just like
everyone else. They have families to feed and mortgages
to pay but when they're asked to attack innocent Americans
just because someone running forced-abortion sweatshops in
the Marianas isn't comfortable with our citizenry acting
democratically
then the police are obliged to say "No".
If not, then they're the enemy of the people
and should
be treated as such.

And now our "Chart of the Day":

Note that when the Republicans took control
of the House last November one of their first actions
was to reduce the number of days they would work. Not
that it made any difference as they've done
nothing except impede the nation's economic recovery
for the past eleven months.

Republican Job Creation Update
 "We're
going to have a relentless
focus on creating jobs." -
John Boehner, February 10,
2011.
The following is #109 in a
list of Republican
job creation activities
since they gained control of
the House in 2011. None, sad
to
say,
have
yet to result in one, single
new job.
(109) 11-16-2011: The House
is wasting your time pushing
a bill that makes it even easier for people to carry
concealed weapons from
state-to-state. Can you say "Raw-Meat-Dog- Whistle?".
Can you also say "Gabrielle Giffords?"
NOTE: As a result of an unexpected wave of enthusiasm
the Republican
Job Creation update now has
its own web site. It will remain
on the RP but
a web site of its own will raise
its visibility on the 'net as
we progress towards the critical
2012 elections. And I thank you
for your support.

Dump Fox News
 And
what manner of lie is Fox News spewing
today? This is what a fascist propaganda
machine looks like.
It's a Fox News screen-shot during the raids
on Occupy Wall Street last night. Classy. Really
classy.
