This was sent by a Deputy Sheriff. The New Fashion Rage In Mug Shots These are actual Police Photos...too funny. Just think about this for a second: Did you ever see anyone arrested wearing a Bush T-shirt, or for you older guys, an Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, or even Nixon, or Bob Dole shirt. Obama must be proud of his supporters!

Obama fans, haircuts, tattoos, cars, and more. These people are freaks, caught up in the cult of personality. All we can do is laugh at their stupidity. Check it out, there are a ton more pictures on site, a TON. Yep, he is wearing a diaper, playing a flute. Class act. In case you cant read the blurry photo, the shirts say "Sarah Palin is a Cu--"

While the Obama-led Democrats control the future of the United States of America, the grassroots on the Internet (The Obama Forum) are in the process of turning in “enemies of Obama”, including the parents of children who are Obama supporters. Obama supporting children have actually posted their parents’ names and addresses on the Obama Forum. (here). In all of its searches, Canada Free Press (CFP) has found no comment from any official in the Obama administration repudiating the Forum.

Too much. Can't you just feel the hope and change oozing from their mugshots? They proudly support their Messiah with their Obama gear.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina Roman Catholic priest has told his parishioners that they should refrain from receiving Holy Communion if they voted for Barack Obama because the Democratic president-elect supports abortion, and supporting him "constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil." The Rev. Jay Scott Newman said in a letter distributed Sunday to parishioners at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Greenville that they are putting their souls at risk if they take Holy Communion before doing penance for their vote. "Our nation has chosen for its chief executive the most radical pro-abortion politician ever to serve in the...

We have reported on a number of incidents—almost all of them before the election—of Obama supporters and allies feeling emboldened in a rather scary way. Weasel Zippers posts on another such incident in . . . Chicago: Arrests at Obama Victory Rally, Woman Yells "White [expletive], [expletive] McCain--you White Police Can't do Nothing Anymore"...Then Proceeds to Slap a White Cop..... No doubt there was a fair amount of people who voted for Obama thinking that when Obama is president, I'll get what's coming to me.That's kind of lame, in that it's the typical lazy human impulse that gives seemingly...

There are only three types of Obama/Biden supporters and the evidence is now conclusive that none of them are your grandfather’s Democrats! 1) The hate-filled anti-American Democratic Socialist base of today’s DNC 2) Folks that still vote Democrat because their grandfather did 3) Folks who watch too much left-wing television In the last couple weeks, Obama has let the cat out of the bag. His life-long mentoring from communist community organizers like Frank Marshall Davis, Saul Alinsky, Williams Ayers and Rev. Wright is out in the open. Obama’s socialist plan for massive central power, supposedly authorized by the voters, to...

US Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain (R) applauds as US Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama (L) speaks at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. The pitched battle for the White House briefly made way for good humor and a good cause Thursday as Obama and John McCain traded jibes at a white-tie charity dinner in New York. United States Presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain reacts after taking a sip of Cuban expresso during a campaign visit in Miami in January 2008. No longer is the struggle against communism in Cuba the...

DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- The last place Kathy Archuleta could have ever imagined she'd spend the first night of the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, was at a happy hour sponsored by the Republican Party. Hillary Clinton backers marched in Denver, Colorado, on Tuesday. But the 54-year-old Democrat joined several other Hillary Clinton supporters, along with volunteers and officials from John McCain's campaign, at a Happy Hour for Hillary. The event, sponsored by the Republican National Committee and approved by the McCain campaign, was a chance for McCain and Clinton supporters to come together for one cause: their opposition...

Obama has got to be a disappointment in many ways to supporters of the Democrat Party. Everyone knew Hillary Clinton. The good and the bad. Hillary Clinton has been well vetted..for years. Obama on the other hand was ordained first. THEN we find out about dealings in Ill., Rev. Wright, his overseas connections, his willingness to pit races and the haves and the have nots against each other. Obama's wife was easy to take .. UNTIL she started

Hearing the cable talk-show host solemnly pose the question, I could not suppress a belly laugh. For the anchor was fearful that some white folks might reject Barack Obama because he is African-American - even as a Rasmussen poll was reporting that Obama is beating McCain among black voters 94 to 1. What, other than race, explains how Obama rolled up 90-10 margins among black voters while running against Hillary Clinton, wife of the man novelist Toni Morrison dubbed “our first black president”? Indeed, so one-sided was the primary coverage in favor of Obama as the first African-American with a...

WASHINGTON: In an ominous sign for Democratic nominee Barack Obama's campaign, a new survey has found that Hillary Clinton's supporters may not cast their ballot for the African American candidate in the November presidential election. A week after Clinton made a public show of unity with Obama after being trounced in a racially devisive contest for the party ticket, the survey suggests supporters of the New York senator are increasingly less likely to follow her lead. A growing number of Clinton supporters say they may stay home in November instead of casting their ballot for Obama, who hopes to be...

That was no doubt a salve to a group of Hillary supporters found by Sam Stein of The Huffington Post. They accused the Obama campaign of being an "anti-woman cult" and "socialist," he wrote. They complained that "Obama's going to win South Dakota because he's buying it and rigging it." Said one, "I will actively campaign against him." YouTube has several disturbing video clips of such Clinton supporters, including a tirade by a New York woman who claims, "The Democrats are throwing the election away . . . for an inadequate black male who would not have been running had...

WASHINGTON -- The hotel where the 30 Democratic rule makers met Saturday -- to decide whether rules are rules or whether rules are made to be broken -- was within howling distance of the National Zoo. Outside the stately Marriott Wardman Park Hotel were clusters of women with "Hear Me Roar" placards in their fists who came from all over the country -- $4 a gallon be damned -- to make what could be a last stand for their Hillary. Democratic National Committee rules and bylaws committee members, from left, Donna Brazile, Elaine Kamarck and Alice Germond vote on how...

In Tucson, 40 to 50 supporters of U.S. troops and the Bush administration's conduct of the war in Iraq demonstrated peacefully on Wednesday, the fifth anniversary of the war's start. Across the street from the demonstration in front of a Midtown military recruiting station, a handful of protesters faced off with anti-war signs. --- snip ---

Ron Paul's supporters want to show him as a civil rights activist. He may be...of a sort we're not ready to contemplate.

It was Rudy Giuliani campaigning for president on the Marietta Square on Sunday afternoon, but anyone listening may well have thought the candidate's name was Ron Paul. "RON PAUL! RON PAUL! RON PAUL!" — a crowd chanted from Glover Park, effectively drowning out comments from the former New York mayor and occasionally changing the chant to "FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM!" The younger crowd of Paul supporters had stronger, or maybe more enthusiastic, lungs than the middle-aged crowd of Giuliani's gaggle, who responded with a college try — "Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!" — while the Paul cadres tailed the GOP front runner on...

In the coming months, you'll see campaign ads everywhere: On billboards, bumpers, lawns, Facebook profiles. But did you ever think you'd hear one on a friend's cell phone? Did you ever think you'd want to? A company called YouMail launched a page last week with nine campaign-related voicemail recordings available for free download. Fans of certain candidates can set their greetings so they play to their whole address book or assign them only to a few select contacts. The idea hasn't yet taken off in any big way; only greetings supporting Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Rudolph Giuliani have been...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Barack Obama's presidential campaign sought on Monday to assure his supporters he is a potent force and that national polls showing a big lead for Hillary Clinton are of little consequence at this stage. Obama's campaign manager, David Plouffe, said in a memo to supporters that Obama, an Illinois senator, is doing fine in early-voting states such as Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. A number of national polls in the last week or so have given Clinton, a New York senator, a large lead across the country. A Newsweek poll put her lead in the...

Minor was a Boston Celtic from 1994 to 1999 and is an Orlando, Fla., native. AL TAQADDUM, Iraq...

GOFFSTOWN – Instead of a bullhorn, Steve Lindsey held a slide trombone, blaring away as cars passed through the main entrance to St. Anselm College yesterday afternoon. At his feet was a handwritten sign: "Honk to Impeach." Although the election to replace President Bush is barely more than a year away, Lindsey is still eager to see Bush impeached. "One, he doesn't learn from experience and, two, we were led into war on false pretexts," the Keene native said. As for the eight Democratic candidates coming to campus that evening to debate the war and other issues, Lindsey, a cab...

Theodore Roosevelt had this to say about criticism: "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows,...

Mark Crowley of San Ramon is on his way to the White House this week to mark the fourth anniversary of the war in Iraq. He plans to unfurl a flag on the Mall and wave it with pride. "My son did not die in vain," said Crowley, who left San Francisco last week with the Move America Forward caravan headed for Washington to provide a counterpoint to the big anti-war protests planned for today. At a time when polls are showing a nation turning against its president, and congressional lawmakers are getting louder in their demands for troop withdrawal,...

WASHINGTON, March 13, 2007 – The Military Officers Association of America announced it will present its highest award to an actor and a corporation for their strong support of military servicemembers. Gary Sinise and the DuPont Company, with headquarters in Wilmington, Del., will receive the MOAA Distinguished Service Award for 2007. MOAA looks for indicators of strong support for military employees when considering organizations for this award, retired Air Force Col. Steve Strobridge, MOAA’s director of government relations, said. “(That includes) making up the pay between military pay and their old salary, continuation of benefits, support for the families,...

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Sept. 18 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Life for Relief and Development (LIFE), an American humanitarian relief organization based in Southfield, Michigan is continuing its efforts to provide emergency humanitarian aid to the needy despite the surprise raid of its headquarters today. Agents from the FBI and IRS executed search warrants today for financial and other records. Although the agents were very courteous and professional, the raid came as a total shock and surprise to the staff and officers of LIFE. LIFE has repeatedly engaged law enforcement officials and invited various government agencies to visit and inquire about LIFE's humanitarian...

Lebanese aid 'only reaching political supporters' By Rania Abouzeid in Taibe (Filed: 13/09/2006) Hizbollah and its allies have been accused of favouring their supporters in the distribution of aid in southern Lebanon. The radical Muslim movement, whose conflict with Israel saw Lebanese homes and infrastructure bear the brunt of the destruction, holds sway throughout most of the south. But in many places it shares power on local municipal councils with its allies and Shia co-religionists in the Amal Movement, as well as the Communists. Hizbollah has a long-held reputation among locals for honesty. But the movement is now attracting complaints...

About 900 illegal-immigrant rights supporters gathered at the Arizona Capitol by midday Monday in a peaceful demonstration of what protesters called government inaction on repairing America's failed immigration system. The event drew significantly fewer participants than immigrant rallies this spring, when illegal-immigrant supporters showed their political muscle at demonstrations in Arizona and across the country. The largest rally in Arizona drew 100,000 marchers on the streets of Phoenix in April. As it considers massive changes in immigration policy, Congress is divided over whether to focus solely on border security or whether to offer illegal immigrants a short-cut to become U.S....

Immigrant supporters marched in several U.S. cities Monday to call for the right of illegal workers to live and work freely in the United States, drawing significantly fewer participants than massive demonstrations earlier this year. Participants waved American and Mexican flags at peaceful Labor Day rallies in California, Arizona and Texas, with crowds of a few hundred to several thousand chanting "Si se puede!" ("It can be done!") and "We are America." Marchers voiced the same message in demonstrations that attracted hundreds of thousands this spring. "Treat us as the labor force that moves the wealth in this country," Haydee...

A bill that would require the California Energy Commission to evaluate and rank all existing proposals to import liquefied natural gas has been sent back to committee — a decision supporters fear could doom any chance of passage. The bill, SB426, fell just short of success on the final night of last year's legislative session. It passed the Assembly late that night, but the Senate adjourned for the year before the measure could be ferried a few hundred feet across the Capitol for a final vote that would have sent it to the governor. Since none of the LNG proposals...

A conservative grass-roots organization has gathered nearly 40,000 signatures since Wednesday on a petition to be sent to President Bush on behalf of two Border Patrol agents convicted of violating a drug smuggler's civil rights. Two of the jurors who convicted the agents also are expressing misgivings about the verdict, saying they were pressured by other jury members and the prosecution to reach a quick decision in the case. Grassfire, a nonprofit organization that uses online petitions to affect legislation, has created a special Web link and letter to President Bush for Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean, who were...

In a recent article in the Jerusalem Post former prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu mentioned that there are "tens of millions of Evangelical Christians in the United States" that are supporters of Israel. (Netanyahu, who gave away 80% of the city of Hebron during his tenure as Prime Minister, is beginning his bid for re-election.) His numbers are based on a statement made by John Hagee, leader of a large Christian congregation in Texas. Hagee claims that there are 70 million Evangelicals in the United States that stand united with Israel. I have heard and read many other Christian leaders toss...

DES MOINES, Iowa - New York Gov. George Pataki strolled through a teeming farmers market in Iowa, chewing on a giant radish and pressing the flesh with a few thousand people he'd like to be his closest friends. "I grew up on a farm, so you learned to eat everything raw," said the Republican, a potential presidential candidate in 2008. "I know you, I'm a transplanted New Yorker," gushed Isabel Osius. "I guess I don't have to ask why you're here." Within the hour, Pataki had donned dark robes and was delivering the commencement speech to medical graduates at Des...

SAN ANTONIO (Army News Service, Jan. 7, 2006) -- The Army's top chief for human resources paid tribute to two Army veterans, a Soldier's wife, and a Soldier's parent during a Freedom Team Salute presentation at the Sheraton Gunter Hotel here Jan. 6. John P. McLaurin, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, conducted the Freedom Team Salute pinning for two members of the legendary "Titans" football team, as well as the spouse of an All-American Bowl Soldier hero and parent of a Soldier supporting the war on terror. Two Army veterans, both members of the...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Activist Cindy Sheehan told supporters at a peace forum Saturday that troops would get out of Iraq if millions of U.S. citizens took the simple step that she did outside President Bush's vacation home last summer. "Anybody could do what we did in Crawford, Texas. We just went down and sat down," Sheehan told the crowd of several hundred people, with Academy Award-winning actor Sean Penn in the front row. She urged them to loose their apathy and do something. "We have to get so freakin' fed up with what's going on that we all go and...

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - Three months after the mother of a fallen soldier led a 26-day anti-war vigil near President Bush's ranch, peace activists and Bush supporters converged again Saturday for dueling rallies. Cindy Sheehan, whose 24-year-old Casey died in Iraq, called for anti-war activists to return to Crawford this week as Bush celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday. The war opponents' camp is at the same 1-acre private lot that a landowner let them use in August when Sheehan's original campsite became too crowded. The first demonstration attracted thousands from around the country and made the woman from Berkeley, Calif., a...

Dell plant supporters oppose lawsuit 10/13/2005 9:21 AM By: Associated Press GREENSBORO, N.C. -- A motion filed in Wake County Superior Court asks for the dismissal of a lawsuit challenging the roughly $300 million incentives deal with Dell Inc. The motion was filed Wednesday on behalf of the state, the city of Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, Dell and others. The North Carolina Institute for Constitutional Law charges in its lawsuit filed in June that the incentives violate state constitutional prohibitions against the use of public resources for private benefit and fail to treat taxpayers equally. In exchange for creating at least...

Rice supporters hope for Hollywood ending By Philip Sherwell in Washington (Filed: 02/10/2005) For the self-styled "Condistas", it was too good an opportunity to miss. Devoted admirers of Condoleezza Rice bought time for a television commercial backing the Secretary of State for the White House in 2008, during last week's premiere of Commander-in-Chief, a new series about America's first female president. It was the highest-profile move yet in a burgeoning grassroots campaign to persuade Dr Rice to stand for the nation's highest office, despite her public statements that she has no desire to seek the nomination. Geena Davis plays the...

VACAVILLE, Calif. - A caravan proclaiming support for U.S. troops began a tour through California on Monday and stopped in the hometown of Cindy Sheehan, the anti-war mother who gained national prominence during a vigil outside President Bush's Texas ranch. Conservative activists and military families embarked on a tour they are calling "You don't speak for me, Cindy!" and are planning rallies in several California cities before heading to Crawford, Texas. "It's time to lay down the anger. We need to continue to uphold those people over there, to uphold those men and women with their boots on the ground,"...
