Dems Stealing Chunks of Liberty On Chicago lakefront: Police hope cameras, bag checks curb violence

If this was a republican doing this the ACLU and the entire kit and kaboodle on the left would become about as apoplectic over this as they were over Waterboarding killer terrorists, even the one of 3 responsible for 911 by their own admission, which president Bush to my delight told an audience last night in Michigan "he'd do all over again to save lives".

Sure sounds a helluva lot better and better each passing moment, as the Obama Romper Room Marxist Kindergarten class is failing all subjects with flying colors, while soaked up to it's neck in corruption and crude oil.

From The Chicago Tribune:

Since last week's spate of violence along the lakefront at North Avenue, Chicago police have installed security cameras and started random checks of bags and coolers for alcohol as people walk into the beach area, city officials said Wednesday.

Ald. Vi Daley, 43^rd, said the random checks were started after several arrests and a shooting between Fullerton and North avenues.

Chicago police officials said the searches target illegal drinking on the beach — the cause of several recent incidents in which beachgoers and police were injured.

Daley said there is also concern about a violent element coming to the beach. She did not think the checks would need to remain in place permanently, noting they could make people uncomfortable.

But she also said police were responding to "intimidating'' groups who wreck the experience for others.

"People should be able to enjoy the beach,'' she said. "During the day I don't think we really have a problem. Everything happens as it gets darker. The climate changes a little bit.'' read more....

North Avenue Beach, Chicago Illinois..

So back to Daley taking more freedoms away because a bunch of lowlife scum were arrested for shooting at each others, not beach goer's but lowlife gangbanging scum. So the answer from a liberal is to 'choke off the liberty of law abiding citizens thanks to 1% of the population to try and catch the one percenter's in the act when they'll just go where the camera's aren't pointing just as they do in the city.

They only help after a crime, they never stop them.

And would he allow people like myself to go armed, these gangbangers would have had to duck shots coming from the 'good guys' until the cops arrived with a meatwagon if me and my buddies were on that beach that day, and I've been here a 1000 times since high school.

However, as kids our wonderful parents and other family members usually took us all to Wauconda up north as opposed to the city beaches, this one in particular, made famous in the Blues Brothers which you non Chicagoan's may remember by this scene at "Phil's Beach" cropped from the actual movie ......*check the notes after the pic...

( the boy in the blue shorts in that brief scene, that's my little brother Brent, as he was an extra in the movie by virtue of my mom and her sister going up there and bringing him a few friends on the day they were filming this by accident, when they (he and his friends) were about 12, and this is the scene he was in.

They were each paid a $100 and has pictures of he, his friend Dewey along with Belushi and Akroyd at a luncheon they had for all the extras that day, along with the uncashed check he has hanging in his home office, the kids freaked on it )

Back to the North avenue and Oak street beaches.....

This is about half of the downtown beachfront along with "Oak Street Beach" which is concrete and off in the horizon closer to the Hancock building which this beach eventually "turns into"

Yet the Oak street spot was more expensive counting parking, plus, it's actually 'concrete' which isn't too comfortable but that didn't bother all the people from hanging there every weekend in the summer months. At least it was when I was going down there with my buddies every weekend in the late 80's.

A time when you could bring beer, liquor, food, weed, whatever the hell you wanted to, until the gangbanging Latino's and Brutha's along with NeoScum white trash as well took over the city and turned into the "mexican border" for all intents and purposes with the influx of literally hundreds of thousands of illegals everywhere you turn. Mexican, Russian, Somalian, Ethiopian, Polish, Italian, although most of the Eastern Europeans got here legally since the swim is a little far for them.

It's a 200 meter breast stroke for the Illegal Olympic team which no longer exists since all the runners, jumpers and swimmers are already here sucking off the "pipe" of American generosity.

Allow people to exercise their 2nd amendment rights and all of a sudden Chicago's finest have 100,000 deputies ready to take these losers on when needed. But no, he'd rather take the weapons away from law abiding people to turn them all into easy targets and pushovers for armed scum.

Glenn Beck Rips Progressivism In CPAC Keynote, Blackboard and all.....

Great speech with his usual style which many American's seem to really like, I happen to dig where he's coming from and his speech today makes it 2 showstoppers in 2 years as Limbaugh's CPAC speech in 2009 set the bar pretty high. Beck cleared it today..

FOXNews.com - Glenn Beck Rips Progressivism at CPAC: "Fox News host Glenn Beck, armed with his trademark chalkboard, blamed 'progressivism ' for America's problems Saturday in his keynote speech that brought the annual Conservative Political Action Conference to a close.

The chalkboard, a prop that he uses frequently on his top-rated show, brought the audience to its feet. Beck wrote 'Progressivism' on it to underscore his belief in what America is suffering from.

When Beck asked what America is suffering from, someone shouted 'President Obama,' though Beck, an outspoken critic of the president, said it's 'not that simple.'

Beck rejected the notion that the Republican Party should expand its tent to include progressives.

'What is this? A circus?' he said, drawing laughter. 'America is not a clown show. America is an idea that sets people free.'"

FOXNews.com - Ron Paul Wins Presidential Straw Poll at CPAC

I don't know what this means, if anything, but Ron Paul is now the winner of CPAC's straw poll, other than to show that 2012 is a long way away.

Here's his entire speech by the way, pretty good, parts one, two and three.....




Part two.... part three.

FOXNews.com -: "Ron Paul has ended Mitt Romney's three-year run as conservatives' favorite for president, taking 31 percent of the vote in the Conservative Political Action Conference's annual straw poll.

Paul, a Republican congressman from Texas known for his libertarian views, ran for president in 2008 but was never a serious contender for the GOP nomination.

Romney, former Massachusetts governor and also a 2008 GOP candidate, has won the last three presidential straw polls at the annual conference. This year, he came in second, with 22 percent.

Sarah Palin, who didn't attend the conference, was a distant third in the straw poll, with 7 percent, followed by Tim Pawlenty, the Minnesota governor, and Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana.

The straw poll is not binding -- and not necessarily a good forecaster, given that in 2008, John McCain went on to take the party's nomination over Romney.

Results of this year's poll were announced just as the crowd prepared for the conference's keynote speaker, Fox News host Glenn Beck." more

This article talked about his domination of the event, drawing the largest crowds and he's done that before and frankly it just could point to the fact that more republicans are moving away from the party towards tea party libertarianism is on the rise.

Ron Paul dominates CPAC with largest, loudest audience  "Did Ron Paul just launch his campaign for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012?

To anyone who watched any of the other Republican stars give their speeches at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference, the difference between Paul and the rest was clearly one of enthusiasm and volume. Indeed, it seems objective to report that the libertarian-leaning doctor from Texas was greeted more like a rock star than a politician.

And, Politico notes, he was the only speaker at CPAC to completely fill the convention hall."  more

Glenn Beck's 9/29 "One Thing".....video

"It's getting harder to believe our eyes and ears" Beck bemoans, as he touches first on the New York Times naming a Fox News Czar to watch what it is they're doing right over there at FOX that the liberals are so unfamiliar with ..DOH....how bout saving some money and starting with trying to tell people the truth as FOX tries to do.

They're not perfect over there but at least it's as close to it as we have available over cable and network airwaves, for starters.....

The best part IMHO comes near the middle, when Beck compares the "dangerous Conservative protesters" out there to those well behaved and most understanding liberal anarchists, you know, like the folks that visited Pittsburgh last weekend at the G20......(vid link for feed readers)

"Sentences for teens who assaulted Seattle cop angers fellow officers" Angers We American's Too

3 Seattle teens get a wrist slap for assaulting a police officer and trying to grab the officer's weapon from loony King County Superior Court Judge Chris Washington, and naturally as a result, the Seattle PD feels as if they just received a golden shower from the liberal judge who the Seattle Times endorsed for the elected position in 2004 with praise that included this top qualification amongst his jurist experience

"Washington has also raised more than 20 times the money Moore has, and he has a higher rating from the local bar association."

Nice that the amount of money raised by a judge is a main qualification for his or her election/appointment.

I can't help but wonder how this judge will feel the next time one of these punks assaults another person or even another police officer, and God forbid it would be with a gun or other deadly weapon since neither of the three have any respect for the men and women in blue, and now know the liberal judges in their town are handing out candy store sentences for assaulting them.

Seattle Times Newspaper: "Angry police say a judge sent a terrible message on Friday when he told three teens they wouldn't spend additional time behind bars for an attack on a fellow officer in West Seattle last year.

The three teens — two boys and a girl — were given sentences by a judge that ranged from 30 days in juvenile lockup for a boy convicted of third-degree assault to 75 hours of community service for the girl who was convicted of obstruction.

The second boy was also convicted of obstruction and sentenced to 30 days.

But because of the time they have already spent in juvenile jail, King County Superior Court Judge Chris Washington determined that the boys will not have to spend any more time behind bars and credited them for the 59 days they'd already served in detention.

The girl did not spend any days in custody, prosecutors said.

All three teens got 12 months of probation and the boy who kicked the officer was ordered to attend anger-management classes.

Officers who attended the hearing said they felt betrayed." continued

"Land Of The Free" Turning To "The Land Of Tyranny"

When someone spends 3 months in jail for skipping or missing jury duty 5 years ago, something smells rotten in Denmark as out government "by the people for the people" has careened completely out of control, and all signs point to things getting worse and worse every minute.

I guess it's no accident that the number one book in the country is from the lawyer and extremely popular talk show host known as the Great One, a one Mark Levin titled "Liberty And Tyranny", as we now regularly see men pulled over and harassed by police for bumper stickers containing the Gadsden "Don't Tread On Me" Flag you see in the top right of this website and being referred to as a subversive, while liberals freely burn and wipe their asses with our American flag with regularity beyond belief and no repercussions whatsoever.

What has happened to this great country in only 4 lousy months where we're at the point of falling apart at the seams and losing all our liberty for tyranny in the bat of an eye?

Texas man jailed 83 days for skipping jury duty:

My Way News - "McKINNEY, Texas (AP) - A man arrested for allegedly failing to appear for jury duty was released Saturday after spending 83 days in jail, a length of detention that a judge called 'unacceptable.'

Douglas Maupin was released a day after The Dallas Morning News brought his plight to the attention of a Collin County judge.

Maupin, a masonry contractor, was arrested Feb. 15 after police pulled him over for speeding. Police then detained him on a 2003 warrant for failure to appear for jury duty.

He wrote a letter to the newspaper about his lengthy jail stay, then said in a jailhouse interview that he, his friends and family could not afford his $1,500 bail.

He said his attempt to get a public defender was rebuffed by a jail clerk.

District Judge Chris Oldner said he was unaware of Maupin's detention until Friday, even though the case was assigned to his court. The judge who signed the original 2003 warrant had retired, and officials said the case was assigned to the court of his replacement but the offense didn't fall under that court's responsibility.

'He should not have spent that much time. This is unacceptable,' Oldner told the Morning News. 'I don't know why the process failed to notify us.'

Oldner also said that Maupin should have been allowed to apply for a p"
