“Texas Sen. Ted Cruz laid blame on President Obama Monday for the recent shooting death of a deputy sheriff in Houston – the Republican presidential candidate’s hometown – and said earlier in the day that the president had not done enough to target violent gun criminals after the Newtown massacre.”
What the hell? Ted Cruz want’s to target gun criminals? That’s part of the republican base. So Ted, maybe we could, you know, actually have background checks for ALL gun transfers. How about tracking guns used in violent crimes back to where originally sold to determine were the straw purchases are being made. Oh, and perhaps start backing funding for a number of existing laws blocked by NRA stooges in Congress that hobble enforcement. “We have more than enough gun control laws” - unfunded or agencies barred from using appropriated funds for those programs/laws.
Damn Cruz. You’re abandoning the part of your base that’s thinks the Newtown massacre didn’t actually happen or was part of a government plot to “take our guns”, declare martial law, and/or proclaim Obama President for life. (missing any CTs?)
Dear Ted, you are a slimy example of humanity wrapped in religious shit without a shred of decency. And people elect this moronic bastard and actually envision him as a president?!! :mad:
In as much as freighters run right up the middle of the Great Lakes (with detours for obstacles), he’d be best to put up a fence along the US shoreline. 160,000,000 metric tonnes (that’s a metric shitload for you monarchists still using the imperial system) per year, moving about on bulk carriers that don’t turn or stop too easily.
Muffin, an imperial ton is only a bit smaller than a metric tonne. We get it. (And most of us learned metric in school.)
smithsb, Cruz is speaking in a kind of political mobsterese. Imagine the following as said by a contractor from an hypothetical city near the Hudson River: “I deplore this savage and uncivilized killing in our city. And it’s a damn shame the Democrats in power can’t do anything about it. Don’t look at me, I voted Republican!”
Mines! Mine the Great Lakes! And the Rainy River, Lake of the Woods, the St. Lawrence River, Lake Champlain, Lake Memphremagog, the St. John River, the St. Francis River, Beau Lake, McPherson Pond, Glazier Lake, McKeon Pond, Grand Lake, Chiputneticook Lakes, the St. Croix River, the Bay of Fundy, Hartley Lake, Boundary Lake, Ross Lake, Lake Metigoshe, Upper des Lacs Lake, Salt Lake, Grassy Lake, the Milk River, Waterton Lake, Cameron Lake, Frozen Lake, Lake Koocanusa, the Kootenai River, the Columbia River, Lake Osoyoos, Boundary Bay, the Strait of Georgia, Boundary Pass, Haro Strait and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Along with a score or two of smaller lakes. No sense letting any Hoser Wetbacks infiltrating our porous border with curling stones and poutine.
Oh, wait, those curlers have brooms? They can just fly them right over? Fuck.
And he’s talking specifically about legal scholars.
C’mon, Professor Bradford, you’re a legal scholar yourself, you know soldiers don’t wanna mess with legal scholars. Legal scholars kick ass and forget the names. Legal scholars eat Marines for breakfast. A legal scholar can make Chuck Norris his bitch. Many have.
Further into that article, it becomes clear that Mr Bradford isn’t actually much of a legal scholar:
"Representatives from [West Point] said Bradford had only begun his employment there on 1 August.
…
In the paper, Bradford identifies himself as an ‘associate professor of law, national security and strategy, National Defense University,’ seemingly his previous job before West Point. But a representative of the National Defense University said Bradford was a contractor at the prestigious Defense Department-run institution, ‘never an NDU employee nor an NDU professor.’
It appears not to be the first time Bradford misrepresented his credentials. He resigned from Indiana University’s law school in 2005 after his military record showed he had exaggerated his service."
Yeah, but Walker could justify the cost by throwing in a couple of basketball hoops and calling it a stadium. As long as the money isn’t used to educate anyone, he’d probably be good with it.
