    The knock also allows bad guys time to grab their guns and shoot back, and in the hypothetical case of suicidal terrorists, blow the house up.

    I'm not sure why "knocking" is such a big deal to you. They can't go in without probable cause and a search warrant signed by a judge.
    Yes, it does allow bad guys to grab their guns. Of course, if it's likely the people will be packing heat, they could just watch the house and wait until the people leave, then bust down the door after the knock goes unanswered.

    If you don't see why "knocking" is such a big deal to me, I don't see why "not knocking" is such a big deal to you. Knocking helps ensure that the cops have the correct house.

    I would personally rather let some drugs get flushed, than have an innocent's home busted into and said innocent shot.

    sheeple, rabble, bubbas, ignorant s, Repugs, tea baggers, patriots, BecKKKistas s, Oath Keepers

    The question is not the partisan sheeple question of

    "Who can honestly believe that Obama/ the democratic party are running a damn thing?"

    but rather,

    "Who still believes the govt is running any damn thing?"

    The govt works for Wall St, corps, capitalists who really run the USA and the planet.

    The disenfranchisement of citizen voters is complete, was a long time ago. No matter who gets elected, they end up corrupted by their Wall st/capitalist/corp owners who are relentless, focused, undeniable in buying off all of them.

    There's no hope that DC will ever be changed. Tea bagging freshman Scott Brown is as compromised as as any veteran Congressional fraudster. Rand Paul is already being called out for "joining" the Repug establishment.

    Magic Negro was financed by people, but even he betrays nearly all of his campaign promises. The war "MIC business" going full blast, the bank bailout and nominal financial regulation vs a way too small stimulus for real persons.

    Watch Wall St finance the Repug mid-terms to overturn the Dem majority, in retaliation for even daring to think of regulating Wall St with this limp-wristed finance law which allows Wall St to keep fisting the planet.

    The candidate who spends the most money wins 90% of the time.

    1. Thank you for not helping BP with the seal cap...

    2. Thank you for giving people with no jobs and making it a job to get more tax money every time you have a baby a year!!
    -Those kinds of parents will just further the cesspool of passing the generation the principles of not having a job and getting free hand outs by not working hard.

    3. I see from that 20 nation meeting that Europe wants to start changing the ways they do things by tax breaking people because what they are doing now isn't working, and that is what US is headed for, thank you Obama.
    - I loathe the day when Bush's tax break expires next year, which becomes a 5% tax on your income and the marriage tax starts, I smell a 10% tax increase on our income heading our way next year...

    4. How come people who pe ion to become American citizens, it takes 10 - 25 years, but illegals can come here for free, thank you Obama...
    - My grandma who is from the Philippines wants to become an American citizen, but they denied knowing that her husband was in the US Navy back in the day and he served in the Korean War, another thanks Obama, I see you disrespect our armed forces.
    - Furthermore I love when you bow to other countries, showing that our country is weak, awesome job, just splendid.

    5. I can't wait for the day when health care professions become another form of slave labor, where our doctors, therapists, surgeons, nurses, etc... become unhappy with their job, BIG THANKS!!!

    6. Don't worry our kids will have a nice 70% bracket when they grow up, they would love to work for free...

    7. One last thing, at this rate with all the illegal Mexicans coming in 4x faster than blacks and whites we will have a new president named Chavez, and guess what, will become another democrat because he is out for the people who don't have jobs...
    -Oh yeah I forgot, since every other nation is going to start tax breaks all the jobs will move off shore since they will be taxed less, so our unofficial of 30% unemployed will become 60%...
    - If you tax less, more companies will have more money to hire more people and more people won't be saving all the time, thus spending more, giving back to the economy...

    You should fit in nicely with the resident dead enders..


    I can't let this pass, what specifically could Obama have done to expedite the capping of the well?

    I preferred the claim that taxation would cause corps to send jobs overseas. Corps sent work to China, India, etc. loooooong before Obama was even a Senator (in fact, since NAFTA -- Clinton's most right-wing policy-- went into effect), even as they were being subsidized by tax dollars.

    Maybe Obama should raise taxes to bolster education.

    More money spent does not equal more education. You have to have students that want to learn.

    It was a joke, but if you wanna go there, I think it's hard to argue with the equation that more schools + better certification regulations = fewer students per class = better education for all. I'm not an advocate of throwing money at problems hoping voodoo will fix them, but some things aren't hard to understand.

    Furthermore, it's not a matter of quality of teachers because if you aren't good at what you do, you will get fired, no questions asked...

    If only it worked that way. That's why I stipulated tougher certification requirements. As it is now, teachers' performance is determined by how well they coach their kids to pass a standardized test, not how well they teach them the curriculum. Ask any teacher, good or bad, how they feel about the No Child Left Behind policies. didn't work.

    Not one teacher I know likes the tests. Not because they don't want accountability, rather all they do is teach the kids to pass THIS test.

    Improvement in education starts with the parents.

    You also need to have the resources to provide the neediest school districts with up to date facilties and supplies. This makes a big difference in a child's abiltiy to learn.

    What school doesn't have up to date facilities and supplies? They are all building monuments. 90 million for a high school? Give me a ing break...SAISD is just as bad as NISD or NEISD.

    It's cheaper than sending uneducated, unskilled kids into the work force. You ever seen what a prison costs?

    And considering more than one class of kids is gonna use the facility, the per student cost is a little misleading, isn't it?

    Apparently you are one of them. Spending obscene amounts of money on architectural monuments to school boards egos does not = smarter better prepared students.

    I'm not defending architectural monuments, I'm defending building schools. Could they be built more cheaply? I don't doubt it, but I wouldn't pretend to know about it. Is there some reason I should believe you know about the appropriate price of building schools?

    Well, my degree was a hybrid of Architecture and Civil Engineering but you don't have to study it in college to recognize the waste. yes they could build schools at 1/3 the price that would do the same job.
