Sounds like fast and furious Sounds like arming Al Qaeda in Syria Sounds like selling long middle tech to China. Sounds like allowing Isis driving away with millions in amor and weapons. Was these things done by Reagan too?
It's hard to believe you could be so ignorant for I have read many of your posts therefore, I must conclude you are playing word-games. If your city gets wiped out by a 'centrifuge' it will be one that Obama allowed Iran to use to enrich Uranium to make fissile material which would have been used to bomb YOUR city which is a FAR CRY from the Contra arms that you ACCUSE Reagan of but has never been proven.
Hey, TeaPartyTom, isn't it funny how the left says the Tea Party are a bunch of nuts but can't name anyone in particular, yet all we see on the left is loons at every turn, whether it's Jonathan Gruber calling his own party 'stupid', or De Blasio alienating the NYPD, or all those rich white liberals protesting against the cops when they live in rich white neighborhoods and would be the first to call a cop if they saw a black man loitering around their neighborhood? At least they can't say the Tea Party looks like a bunch of unwashed homeless bums like the OWS, can they TeaPartyTom?
Things have to be really enriched to make weapons grade material. Besides, as we both know, if we don't give Iran those centrifuges, Israel will give it to them to Iran via N. Korea.
Come on Phoebe....You know better than this. "Things?" We're talking isotopes here and how they can be concentrated and enriched which is best done with a gaseous/centrifuge method. "The gas centrifuge process uses a large number of rotating cylinders in series and parallel formations. Each cylinder's rotation creates a strong centrifugal force so that the heavier gas molecules containing 238U move toward the outside of the cylinder and the lighter gas molecules rich in 235U collect closer to the center. It requires much less energy to achieve the same separation than the older gaseous diffusion process, which it has largely replaced and so is the current method of choice and is termed second generation. It has a separation factor per stage of 1.3 relative to gaseous diffusion of 1.005,[11] which translates to about one-fiftieth of the energy requirements. Gas centrifuge techniques produce about 54% of the world's enriched uranium." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enriched_uranium Why give Iran the ability to enrich in the first place?
I don't understand why some cops seem to hate De Blasio so much. Exactly what has he done to alienate them?...I mean what specific thing did he do/say that people have a problem with? -Meta
He ran his campaign on an anti-cop platform. The specific thing he said was imply that cops are racist and target blacks, hence his 'talk' with his son on how to act around cops because of his race. It was just a continuation of his kissing the behinds of the anti-cop element in NY.
Ran his campaign on an anti-cop platform? Which policies are he pushing for that are anti-cop? Are you referring to these comments? What parents have done for decades who have children of color, especially young men of color, is train them to be very careful when they have...an encounter with a police officer,...With Dante, very early on, we said, Look, if a police officer stops you, do everything he tells you to do. Dont move suddenly. Dont reach for your cellphone,...Because we knew, sadly, theres a greater chance it might be misinterpreted if it was a young man of color. ~Bill de Blasio The first part is just a statement of fact. As for the rest, he's not implying that all police are racist/target blacks, or any for that matter, but just that he made sure to tell is son from the start the proper way to act around police, since a person of color is more likley to encounter an officer who may perceive them/their actions as a threat. ^Also a statement of fact. And all the time people are saying that the reason unarmed blacks get killed by police more than whites is because black parents don't teach their children how to act around cops, eg: how not to reach for stuff etc. But de Blasio does just that,...and now people are calling for him to resign??? Surely the above quote cannot be the only reason...there must be something else....he must have done something else, said something else, but what? -Meta
It's a statement of fact that omits the reasons for it. Until the issue of most crimes in urban areas being committed by 'persons of color', the issues there of 'people of color' being 'more likely' to be stopped by cops will continue. As I've said before, if someone calls the cops on someone who victimized them, they have to give a description of the person who victimized them, and that's what the cops have to go by. To act like they target 'people of color' for no other reason is bull. What De Blabbio and parents like him should be doing is raising their sons to respect the law and not commit crimes.
But what I want to know is,...why the de Blasio hate? Why call for him to resign? What for? Is it really for no other reason than that quote I posted? Because I don't think de Blasio is raising his son not to respect the law or to commit crimes...no, instead hes doing exactly what you said all parents should. You mentioned he had some sort of anti-cop platform...can you point out any of his polices/polices he wants to put in place which are anti-cop? -Meta
Apparently, the NYPD doesn't feel he is on their side. They're closer to the issue and his attitude than I am. I live in California. I wasn't even paying attention to his campaign for mayor.
Can't name anyone in particular...sarah palin, Michele Bachmann, rick santorum, rick perry, ted cruz, paul ryan,tom cotton,christine"the witch" o'donnell , joe the plumber....an endless list of nuts, retards, racists and morons...
Well,...not all of the NYPD, only a part of it. I wanted to find out why part of the NYPD and others felt that way, and why they felt so strongly. Since you posted negative comments about De Blasio I was just hoping you might be able to help shed some light as to their reasoning. .....O well.....Actually, I should probably start a topic on this. -Meta
I think what he is doing is extremely racist by pointing out his child will be perceived differently. How about telling his child not to do anything that would cause a policeman to stop him, rather than plant a seed of distrust in the child's mind and the idea.."You are different because of your color." There are plenty of young black males walking the streets and policemen don't give them a second glance. The reason they can walk freely and with out question they aren't breaking the law.
Yes, perhaps you should since you didn't accept my answer. Regardless of how you interpreted his remarks, the police thought differently.
Didn't accept your answer? Your answer was basically that you weren't paying attention and didn't know why people were hating on him. Anyways,...if you want, let's continue the discussion here. -Meta
No, that was not my answer to your first question. First you asked what was offensive about his speech. I answered you. Then you asked how his campaign was anti-cop. THAT is what I said I wasn't paying attention to.
