Lot's of bluster and lot's of stupidity here on this site. All this bill will do is make a few power hungry cops happy that they can intimidate people simply walking down the street by asking for their papers. Yeah, just like 1930's Germany. This will not diminish the influx of people from Mexico. If you want to get to the core of the problem you must go after the employers.

But then of course you wouldn't be able to exhibit bluster, arrogance and self righteous bigotry and feel like some kind of superstuds.

WHOSEBONE states "Sedition in the face of tyranny becomes a patriots duty."

Yeah, the tyranny of the vote. You lost and like a demonically possessed little child you want to overthrow the government of the United States. Technically the sedition thing.
And then there is Lawrences comment"

"Sorry, dude, but peaceful change is NOT any longer possible. All avenues are now exhausted."

Timothy McVeigh used the same kind of logic. The Taliban uses the same kind of logic. I have heard no one on this site distance themselves from the call to violence though you often state how the tea party does not espouse violence and revolt.

What's it going to be? You can't have it both ways.

What is it with you Tea Party folks? Haven't you bent over far enough for the insurance companies and other corporations fleecing the American public. Regulation of corporations criminally extorting the public is not a march to "Socialism". Regulating mining companies to adhere to safety standards is not "Marxism".

You are not superstars in some kind of revolution for the common man. You are useful idiots being used to block reforms of criminal corporate institutions.

So Lawrence
Your comment " Sorry, dude, but peaceful change is NOT any longer possible. All avenues are now exhausted."

This sure sounds like the rhetoric and logic of Tim McVeigh. I think Maddow might have had it right when she stated

"And, right now, I think we are experiencing an upswing again in sort of anti-government extremism.”


Let's here it for the socialist police and fire departments, the public highways and interstate system, public water works, public libraries, the US military, Government workers who monitor the meat and other food supplies that hit the store shelves, the socialized Veterans Association, the government built dams that provide hydro electric power nation wide. the socialized commons of the court systems that adjudicate commerce and business in this country. ITS ALL EVIL according to you morons. We wouldn't have a country without these commons.

Lets look at what happened to California's electric power management when it was privatized with ENRON. Endless gouging and endless multi billion dollar corruption. The recent...
Let's also not forget it was blow hard neocons like Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter who were ranting and raving that Obama wasn't pursuing off shore oil drilling rigorously enough and not getting big government out of the way fast enough.

I would like to see Hannity swimming around in all that black oil for awhile. It would be a nice dose of reality for the loud mouthed punk.

And the fact remains that BP lied and deceived federal officials on what few regulations were still in place for the oil drilling operation.

The fact remains that it was Cheney that waived the requirement that acoustic triggered safety caps be be required in off shore oil wells because it would save about 5oo thousand dollars for the contractors. One regulation in a litany of regulations that Cheney waived for his oil buddies.

The fact remains that Cheney also chose to halt the requirement that relief wells be drilled in advance of opening the main well like they do in most non dumbed-down countries who aren't swayed by corporate propagandists telling us we have to risk all to have this off shore oil....
Retired Greek

this whole thing started long before Obama. As I said before Bush/Cheney wrote the book on deregulation, gutting safety regulations and appointed industry hacks in key cabinet positions.

For you to say now after years of the Republican mantra "no more government regulations", "get big government off our backs", etc, etc.. This was no more than a propaganda campaign to eliminated any hindrance to maximized profits at any cost, no matter what the consequences. The Macy coal mining accident is yet another manifestation of letting corporations regulate themselves and that is pretty much what the tea bagger mantra continues to be. Oh yeah, and after the death of Gulf coast economies they still can't let the...
