Obama Will Have To Prove Eligibility

I am the type of person who is willing to give people the benefit of the doubt. However, I consider it very suspicious that President Obama has never offered anything to verify his citizenship.

"Obama Will Have To Prove Eligibility" <<<---Click Here For The Story.

Considering that there is a boisterous outcry about the subject, wouldn't anyone want to put the matter to rest once and for all?

This article only bolstered my belief that President Obama does not want these documents out in public. I have talked amongst friends and family and voiced my opinion on this matter but have not done so publicly.

I have long suspected that Obama received money from somewhere to attend a very expensive and exclusive university. Wow, he would really have to have some generous friends to pay for all his schooling.

I have suspected all along that he somehow received some kind of financial aid or money and listed himself as a foreign student. Now if that was the case, what makes him a citizen now? I don't know but I really want to believe that someone elected to the highest elected position in this country did not misrepresent himself.

Call me cynical but I question everything and challenge the veracity of facts until I can verify something in one direction or the other. Isn't that what we all should do for anything? Why is it that we should accept Obama's word. A much as I would like to give him 100% of my support as my President, he has been dishonest. I cannot trust what comes out of his mouth because he talks out of both sides of it. He said one thing to get elected and he is now saying the opposite on many issues.

I suggest you follow this story closely

Remember, get the facts, verify the story and then...

The Really Important Things

In these stressful times, we should remember what is most important to us... The following is an email I have received more than once but it really makes you stop and think.

A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her 5-year old son waiting for her at the door
SON: 'Mummy, may I ask you a question?'

MUM: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the woman.
SON: 'Mummy, how much do you make an hour?'
MUM: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the woman said angrily.
SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'

MUM: 'If you must know, I make $20 an hour..'

SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: "Mum my, may I please borrow $5?"

The mother was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about
why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolity's.'

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door..

The woman sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the woman had calmed down , and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $5 and he really didn't ask for money very often.The woman went to the door
of the little boy's room and opened the door.

Are you asleep, son?' She asked.

'No Mummy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.

'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the woman. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you.

Here's the $5 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you Mummy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

The woman saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, and
then looked up at his mother.

'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the mother grumbled.

Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.
'Mummy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you..'

The mother was crushed. She put her arms around her little son, and she begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life.
We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $20 worth of your time with someone you love.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

Don't let this crazy world get in the way of what is truly important!

Have a safe & uneventful day!

Crap And Trade

Are you kidding me? Wait a darn minute...

I thought you were going to be more transparent? The Democrats have whipped up a sepnding spree the likes of no other. No new taxes for those who earn under $250,000.00! Woo Hoo; uh wait; uh...

CBS News Article

Oh I see, they are just going to raise the CURRENT tax both you and I pay!

Give me a break! How can even the most educated Democrat think this is a good thing for everyone in this country? They have lost their way. The Republicans lost their way a long time ago but they seem to be putting their collective heads together to make one simplistic brain in opposition to the fruitbats on the left.

I tell you this...

remember who is in power right now and who is costing you more money! I don't care who votes for it. If our taxes increase and spending continues for these pork incentives...

VOTE THEM ALL OUT!

Crap & Trade is nothing more than one crooked politician greasing another crooked politician.

Your elected officials have forgotten who gives them their power...

YOU AND ME!

One thing is for certain, WE have the power to take it away as well!

VOTE THEM ALL OUT!

Read the article by a liberal news organization for yourself. I think you are smarter than what your elected officials make you out to be! Research, learn, look at the big picture...

VOTE THEM ALL OUT!

No Posts Since 2008?

I can't believe I haven't posted to this blog since October 2008...

With all the "Change We Can Believe In" Rhetoric going around, I had my fill of it to the point my stomach hurt!

I really can't believe what is going on in Washington these days. Is this the begining of the end of what we have come to love & cherish; The United States Of America, a capitalist free market nation?

In recent days, it seems like a takeover by a fanatic dictator is imminent.

I am sorry but I can stay quiet no longer...

With the surfacing of HR 45 and S.773 and Congress' collective under the radar Black Ops, it is time I do my part as a free American.

We all need to wake up and do something about our eroding rights and violations of the Constitution. Even if you disagree with me, do your research, find out about what your elected officials are doing in Washington! Come to your own conclusions. Don't let a politician from either party tell you what to think.

If you read a piece of propsed legislation and it brings questions to your mind, explore every avenue for answers and somewhere in the middle of the two sides lies the truth! BUT... Let it be your truth not something that has been smoothed over by some charasmatic speaker from Washington.

Put your elected officials on notice:

You are not going to sit back and take it anymore. You are not going to let them take the power and trust with which you have enabled them to destroy our country as we know it by betraying that trust. Voice your thoughts with them. They all have email addresses & websites, etc.

Remember, the next round of elections is in 2010. I don't care what party they are from or with which party you align yourself.

VOTE THEM ALL OUT!

"Change" "Change" The Obama Mantra

TO ALL MY FRIENDS....LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE...FYI only.

George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine.


A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000 +
5) American's were buying new cars,taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!...

But American's wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and yes--we got 'CHANGE' all right. In the PAST YEAR:


1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ;
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;
3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by
$12 TRILLION
DOLLARS and prices still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) as I write, THE DOW is pr obing anoth er low~~

$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!

YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE...AND WE SURE GOT IT! ....

REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES, ONLY CONGRESS.

AND WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

NOW THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GOING TO REALLY GIVE US CHANGE ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!!

JUST HOW MUCH MORE 'CHANGE' DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND?

John Kerry

First things first...

No Mr. Kerry, you are what makes America sick. God forbid a Republican asks a democrat for an apology. Lets not go there Mr. Kerry. Shame on you! Your spin did not work in 2004 and it will not work now!

Didn't you vote for the war? Shouldn't you have done your homework? This is just like you when something doesn't look good in the liberal media in front of the American public. Take the road you think is popular with the American public.

Geez, you are truly amazing. You don't have two faces, you have hundreds! You are despicable and if I may partially quote you:

"If you make the most of it and you study hard and do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart you can do well." If you don't, you vote John Kerry into office.

Nuff said.

Bad Ass Marine

Just a little humor to brighten up your day!!

BAD ASS MARINE A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU. One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes." The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God. I'm still waiting." It got downto the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, wentup to the professor, and cold-cocked him knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, "What the hell is the matter with you? Why did you do that?" The Marine calmly replied, "God was too busy today protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid shit and act like an asshole. ..............So, He sent me."

Thank you tour brave troops protecting our freedoms we take for granted!

Stay low and keep your powder dry!!!!

Too little too late or just what he needed?

Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Jim Davis of Florida recently apologized to two African American men who were wrongly convicted of murder.

Freddie Pitts and Wilbert Lee spent 12 years in jail for a murder they did not commit. Davis was one of those who were influential in seeing that in 1990, these two men did not get any compensation amounting at that time to $250,000. According to a Miami Herald Column, Davis faced an uphill battle in his campaign.

"Throughout, Davis maintained he cast his vote in 1990 because there wasn't enough ''evidence'' to justify giving each man $250,000. Another man had confessed to the 1963 murders at the Mo-Jo gas station in Port St. Joe, and the two men were then pardoned by Gov. Reubin Askew."

He blames his decision on his experience as a "Young Lawyer;" looking at the the case "technically."

Where are all the news outlets condemning him? If a republican candidate had done this, it would be shouted from the highest mountain. Sorry, no mountains in Florida.

Do we remember just weeks ago, Republican Senator George Allen from Virginia made an alleged racial comment that really paled in comparison to what Hillary or Joe Biden said. Geez, why are the Democrats so protected by the media?

In Solemn Remembrance

As I sit at the computer, I can hear the names of those lost on 9/11/2001 being read aloud amidst a backdrop of stoic violins. My television, a 52" widescreen is not within sight, however, I do not know if I want to see the family members of those who perished that day reading the three thousand plus names. But... Something is preventing me from changing the channel.

Maybe it is because I feel a connection to those Firefighters and Police Officers that perished while selflessly putting themselves in jeopardy to save the lives of others. Why, you ask? Well because I am a Police Officer and my brother is a New York City firefighter. I stood in front of "The Pile" a few days after the carnage. A very uneasy feeling came over me at that time which I will never forget as long as I live. How I helped during those days pails in comparison to how the NYPD, PAPD, FDNY and scores of volunteers, both civilian and from agencies around the country helped.

Maybe it is because I grew up in Brooklyn and could see those two majestic buildings reaching towards the sky whenever I left the comforts of our modest home in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn. The sense of pride I felt whenever my gaze caught a glimpse of the buildings is beyond what any words can portray on this page. The World Trade Center buildings were just two more things that gave me great pride for the city in which I lived.

One thing many citizens of this country do not realize is that the brave Firefighters and Police saved many more than three thousand people that day. That for the most part goes unnoticed. I submit to you that this is a testament to the bravery and dedication of those who served that day.

I saw firsthand how the citizens of New York stood behind the Police and made it a point to wave and thank those who wear the badge. When I saw this support, It bothered me in a strange way. I felt genuinely good about it but also remained modest; thinking, why are you shaking my hand and thanking me? This is what I do. While I felt the gratitude of those who approached me, I felt as though it was disingenuous. Why did it take such a tragedy to make you realize what we do? While we patrol our streets every day getting shot at, spit on, injured, and killed by putting ourselves between you the citizenry and those who prey on you. We do not do our jobs for glory. We do it because it is our job and we do not expect anything in return. I am not trying to cheapen the gratitude of the citizens, I know we are appreciated as Police Officers, Firefighters, etc. It is just something you do not see every day. We are Ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

You only see the Main Stream Media's slanted portrayal of Cops. Only when there is something to report that conjers a sense of drama are we in the news.

However, it was nice to see this country come together with a renewed Patriotism.

I digress.

I am deeply disturbed by how divisive we are as a country. More than ever before, we need to come together as Americans. We need to overcome those in this country who without any rationale, are willing to leave this country vulnerable to further attacks. It is time to suck it up and be willing to work with our government even if that entails giving up some individual freedom.

I am still angry about 9/11 and I think as Americans, we need constantly be reminded of the heinous acts perpetrated against us on that day.

Remember the ability for you and I to opine has been earned in blood. Freedom is not free. Please do not tread on the sacrifices of those who bravely fought for and died for our country and for those whose lives were needlessly taken in New York, Washington D.C., and a field in Pennsylvania.

God Bless this great country of ours. As with all things, one must take the bad with the good. We need to remain united against those who would like to harm us and take away our way of life for no other reason than we do not conform to their religion or cherish the freedoms we have.

Never Forget 9/11

The Chocolate Mayor Rides Again

Well, Well, the Chocolate Mayor is at his finest. Hey I'm not knocking having some pride in your city but this guy is incredible. When the good Mayor was asked about the progress in the big easy, he showed a reporter how al the streets have been cleared. The reporter, doing his job, asked about all the junk cars lining the roadways and also about a house that lay in ruin partially in the road. The Chocolate Mayor responded in true fashion. "You guys in New York City can't get a hole in the ground fixed; and it's five years later...So lets be fair."

Lets be fair? Comparing an act of terrorism to an act of God. Oh I'm sorry I have to be PC I actually mentioned God! Oh my, sorry to all you atheists out there. C'mon Mayor Choc - o - lat, what is next? You are alienating the very people you need to help you rebuild your sewer of a city.... us! The White, the Black and the otherwise. You cheapen the lives of the courageous citizens, firefighters, and Police that died that day! Comparing the devastation wrought by mother nature to an act of war. Oh wait a minute. There I go again. It was George Bush's fault, not an act of nature. Damn what was I thinking.

It is so easy for a Democrat to blame the President, a republican or any republican for that matter. All one has to do is make a call to a liberal rag mullet wrapper of a newspaper or call UltraLibs at CNN to get your message out there without any contrasting point of view.

You played the race card to get elected; running on standing up to whitey who didn't do anything for your city. NEWSFLASH Choc - o- lat, YOU didn't do anything for your city! But....in true fashion you polarize everything and played to the emotions of the unfortunate. You lack character and substance and you are an embarrassment to your constituents.

Mayor Choc - o - Lat, you would fit right in at a clan meeting wearing a white hood and robe. Your represent the epitome of racism and stupidity.

I guess it makes sense really. you have once again lowered your standards and the standards of your citizens and bark at us, the rest of the country, to accept those standards because...well because thats how it is.

LOSER!

Mayor Nagin

Can you really believe this guy? First it was "Chocolate City" now he claims that he is being targeted by those of us who are "white."

It seems that Mr. Nagin has hinted at the idea that whites, nationally are involved in a campaign to unseat him from office. Oh boy, there, someone threw the crutch out there again!

Lets create a racial issue out of the election in "Nawlins" Lousy-anna. Yes, lets forget what a pitiful job the fair Mayor did during the hurricane. Oh wait, I forgot, it was President Bush's fault that there was not real plan laid out by city and state officials. So I guess it would have to be Bush's fault as he is the next one in line.

Sorry Mr. Nagin you squeaked this one out. Seems somebody else; not ole whitey is trying to send a message to you! The good, hard working citizens of New Orleans deserve better than someone who claims everything that happens is racism. Coming from the biggest racist of all, YOU, that is truly rich!

You do more to hamper the progress of African Americans than anybody else. (With the exception of the Rev. Al Sharp-ton and Jesse (I'm a man of God but screwed around on my wife) Jackson.

Oh whatever I'm feeling sick

Immigration Issue

I think Teddy Roosevelt said it best!

Teddy had it right!!

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

John Kerry Stopped by Police in Jacksonville

On any given weekend on the southside area of Jacksonville known as Mandarin, one can encounter cyclists cluttering the road, Mandarin Road that is.

The cyclists are supposed to stay in single file when riding but they do not. I have responded to many calls of this nature in that area which amounts to a big waste of police resources. Sometimes an officer has to respond from as far away as 10 miles. When an officer gets to the area of the complaint, the cyclists are gone. My point here is that motorists and cyclists need to work together. Manadrin Rd. is not as heavily traveled as some other roads in that area and is a beautiful, tree canopy lined stretch of winding road that is favored by cyclists. Once or twice a week is not a big thing. Have some patience people. Lets keep each other safe.

It's no wonder John Kerry wanted to do the cycle thing while he and wife Teresa were in the area raising funds. That stretch of road is beautiful. No doubt though, the funds are for a possible presidential bid in 2008. Oh stop it! You know that's what it is for! Well If I had my choice of Kerry or Clinton, it would be.............neither!

I think if I had stopped Mr. Kerry, I would have gotten his autograph......

ON A TRAFFIC CITATION!

Haha, just kidding. I probably would have debated him on some issues.

Good Day

Rally For Rahman

What is this? Afghanistan is supposed to now be free. Hey I'm the farthest thing from a liberal. There is something terribly wrong with putting someone to death for believing in whatever religion they want.

I guess it is hard to see as we live in this wonderful country of so many freedoms. Cam Edwards and those who showed up for the rally in Washington should be commended for their efforts and standing up to the MSM Loopies.

Also check out the video of Cam Edwards telling it like it is. Video presented by "Age of Hooper (The)"

Guess this one ended up OK for Rahman.

Great Job Cam Edwards

Ridiculed for Patriotism

Had this forwarded to me in an email. Whether you agree with the war in Iraq or not, I think it reflects how a great majority of Americans feel. Love your country for all its good and bad. Remember those who have served and sacrificed to allow us the freedom to express ourselves in a forum such as this!

==============================================================
I Love This Comeback

One of my sons serves in the military. He is still stateside, here
in California.
He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people have
been to him and his troops. Everywhere he goes, telling me how people would
shake their hands, and thank them for being willing to serve, and
fight for not only our own freedoms but so that others may have them also.

But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store where he stopped
yesterday on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several
people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha. He said when
she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S. Flag lapel pin
the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched the pin,
and said proudly," Yes, I always wear it and probably always will."

The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to
stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi. A gentleman
standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm around my son's
shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in a calm and gentle voice
to the Iraqi woman:

"Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have
fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a
check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had
you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be
there today. But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly
and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so
you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are obviously here
in MY country to avoid." Everyone within hearing distance cheered!

Armed Mexican Soldiers Enter the U.S.

I'm sure it is not the first time, but Mexican soldiers and police have made entry into the U.S. Yes you heard it right! Mexican soldiers and police are making incursions into the U.S. to protect drug shipments and who knows what else.

If not for our dedicated Law Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents, there would be more drugs in the country. Mexican Army Humvees apparently entered the U.S. and in the end, pointed assault rifles at our Border Patrol agents.

Keep close tabs on this situation folks. If the Mexican Army and Police can waltz across our borders unannounced, just think how easy it will be for a terrorist that wants to bring harm to innocent Americans.

Check out the NewsMax story

This is probably the best Ted stuff I have seen. I received it from NewsMax in an email. I hope they don't mind me using it here.

If you do not subscribe to NewsMax Magazine you should; even if you are a Liberal. Hey, Liberals should keep an open mind too!

You know, I'm glad old Ted is around because I would have nothing to laugh about if he were not around making an Ass out of himself.

Ted Kennedy's Club Discriminated

When Ted Kennedy tried to chastise Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito for his one-time membership in a group opposed to admitting more women and minorities to Princeton, the pot was calling the kettle black.

Sen. Kennedy still belongs to a social club for Harvard students and alumni that was thrown off campus nearly 20 years ago after refusing to allow female members, an investigation by the Washington Times reveals.


The book Ted Kennedy
doesn't want you to read -
Go Here Now.

According to the membership directory of the Owl Club, Kennedy updated his personal information as recently as September 7.

Ironically, the Owl Club, long reviled at Harvard as "sexist," was evicted from the campus in 1984 for violating federal anti-discrimination laws authored by Kennedy.

"It's a social club. It's like a fraternity."

But according to the Times, Harvard views organizations such as the Owl Club quite differently from fraternities and sororities, which are considered a form of housing and therefore are not coeducational.

Kennedy's hypocritical attack on Alito over his membership in CAP would come as no surprise to readers of the blockbuster new book "Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy" by bestselling author Peter Schweizer.

In his book Schweizer discloses that while Kennedy has fought for the estate tax and spoken out against tax shelters, he has repeatedly benefited from an intricate web of trusts and private foundations that have shielded most of his family's fortune from the IRS.

One Kennedy family trust wasn't even set up in the U.S., but in Fiji.

Schweizer also reveals that while Kennedy has championed the development of alternate energy sources, he opposed a plan to build a wind-power generating facility to provide clean, cheap power to Cape Cod.

The reason: The wind turbines would be positioned off the coast from the Kennedy compound in Hyannis, in one of the family's favorite yachting and sailing areas.

Schweizer's "Do As I Say" has been touted as a must-read by Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter and many others. Check out NewsMax's FREE offer for this book -- Go Here Now.

HIllary Clinton & Harry Belafonte

Hillary Clinton will be doing a little fundraising with Harry Belafonte.

Is this her way of keeping herself in the forefront of the news? Mr. Belafonte recently expressed his support for Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez. He also called President Bush "world’s greatest terrorist.” The last time I checked, I don't think I saw Chavez on our best friends list.

I guess washed up singers and actors need to find some way to draw attention to themselves. Hillary Clinton appearing with these left wing radicals only shows her true colors. By standing with Belafonte, she makes it known that she is not out to help this country but only herself. I will not go so far as to say that Belafonte and his washups are committing Treason but....giving aid to an enemy is in fact treason isn't it?

Well Mr. Belafonte, Danny Glover, Hillary Clinton and your group of left wing washups, go live in Venezuela. If you can big a big shot there then so be it...good riddance!

America does not support your idiotic outlandish views of the world. It only seems that way because of the liberal pandering drama creating media. As far as Hillary is concerned she is the biggest unethical carsalesman I have ever seen.

Good Day

Police Search Divides Justices

The Supreme Court heard arguments relating to the 4th amendment. Do police officers have to knock and announce their presence when they arrive at your house with a search warrant?

This issue is nothing new to the justices of the Supreme Court. They have made many rulings over the years in regard to this issue. As it stands, and someone please correct me if I am wrong, the police must first knock and announce their presence at a residence. They must then wait a "reasonable" amount of time to allow the resident therein to answer the door. A recent case from Detroit is being argued because it is alleged that the police deviated from this. The argument in this case is that even though the police blundered when they just entered the residence in question, the illegal narcotics they found should not be surpressed from evidence.

Previous rulings also state that if the police think that evidence is or may be destroyed, they may make entry (exigent circumstances exception). A judge also has the authority to issue a "no knock" warrant. (Some States) In a ruling from a couple of years ago, the suspect was in his shower when the police arrived with their warrant. They knocked, announced and when they received no response, they made entry into the home. They ultimately found the suspect in his shower where he could not have possibly heard the knocking and announcing. The ruling of the Appeals court was reversed saying that the police acted properly. (U.S. V Banks)

Justice O'Conner was again the potential swing vote in this current case. She was leaning toward ruling against the police. This is a critical issue as we are witnessing confirmation hearings for Judge Alito. If the rule of Law is followed, the court may find in favor of the Petitioner in this case (Hudson V Michigan 04-1360)

As a Police Officer, the thought of announcing my presence and waiting for a response alarms me. Why do I need to put myself needlessly in jeopardy of injury or death to wait for a suspect to arm himself in anticipation of my entry into his residence. Additionally, if I am at the point where I have a search warrant in hand, the suspect's goose is generally cooked. It is not entirely simple to obtain a search warrant. Do we have to knock and announce to allow the suspect to get rid of evidence of a crime they are committing or have committed or to arm themselves to commit acts of violence against the police?

Contrary to popular belief, the police are not out there to be injured or killed. They are in a dangerous position however; protecting your rights to be free from criminals and their violent acts against society.

I believe strongly in the rule of law. It is that foundation on which our country is built. The danger is that liberal thinking continues to protect those committing the crimes and further serves to victimize those whom the crimes have been perpetrated against.

Whatever the outcome, it is one on which we will have to pattern our behavior.
