Annals of the Police State.... - max - 01-16-2016 Our jackbooted thugs are above the law... In a sweeping reform, New Mexico enacted legislation to require a criminal conviction as a prerequisite to forfeiture, and direct any forfeiture revenue to the general fund last year. But law enforcement agencies have been refusing to abide by the new Forfeiture Reform Law. Re: Annals of the Police State.... - silvarios - 01-17-2016 Always follow the money. Re: Annals of the Police State.... - OWC Jamie - 01-17-2016 Good luck trying to get liberals and Democrats to give up their regressive tax and control over the lower classes nor the means for enslaving them on the liberal plantation. Re: Annals of the Police State.... - wave rider - 01-17-2016 Things seemed a lot easier when politicians could just raise taxes a bit... Re: Annals of the Police State.... - max - 01-17-2016 The Police State needs to be funded, and even though nobody gave as much money to CIA and NSA as Obama did, it is never enough, http://www.vocativ.com/news/271814/heres-the-truth-about-the-u-s-government-and-intelligence-funding/ the jackbooted thugs are insatiable....

Nice strawman, pdq, I do understand your effort to sideline the discussion, but your school vouchers have nothing to do with New Mexico enacting legislation to eliminate lawless behavior by the jackbooted thugs with a badge, and the municipal police departments totally ignoring the legislation, its limits. The subject under discussion in this thread, pdq. What is your point, pdq, are these facts incorrect? If so show us how. Or is it the subject of the discussion an uncomfortable one to you and that is the reason for attempt to change the subject? Or is Obama's full support for NSA limitless Police State spying the inconvenient aspect of this thread? Are these numbers incorrect? If so, please show us how.... ![]() Re: Annals of the Police State.... - pdq - 01-19-2016 I don't think I was addressing your argument, nor claiming to. I just pointed out that the proffered "non-partisan, public interest" law firm in the OP is in fact a Koch-funded and initiated organization that happens to pursue a lot of right-wing interests, which I think is an important detail that was inexplicably left out. I don't think that represents a "straw man". Re: Annals of the Police State.... - btfc - 01-19-2016 "New Mexico enacted legislation" Thanks, Obama! Re: Annals of the Police State.... - max - 01-20-2016 pdq wrote:Of course it was the strawman, your "non-partisan, public interest" law firm status did not change any thing as to the point of the OP. You hanging your hat on it, trying to change the subject of the discussion was a perfect example a strawman, having an argument on a subject that was never brought up in the first place, an argument that you staged and argued against. Lets put it another way, pdq, doe the existence of your law firm change in any way the subject of New Mexico enacting legislation to eliminate lawless behavior by the jackbooted thugs with a badge, and the municipal police departments totally ignoring the legislation, its limits? is the article wrong about these facts? A) legislation B) municipal departments ignoring the law? If they are, please, show us that... Why are you trying to dance around this subject. Is it so inconvenient that you feel an overriding need to deflect any discussion on our out of control militarized police forces ? Once again, the telling part is that you have not tried to argue the facts, the passage of new laws by New Mexico legislature, nor could you try to dispute the municipal police departments mentioned in the article actively ignoring the law, the limits imposed upon them. You could not even argue against the existence of our Police State, pdq. Instead you tried to change the subject, set up a strawman, discussed arguments for school vouchers. Pathetic hypocrisy. Everything but the Police State running amok.... |
