Scenes From Fallujah Quincy

Sometimes images really can do more to drive a point home than all the words in the world. Just ask Janet Reno. Or Janet Reno. Or Janet Reno.

On Wednesday, Quincy (Ill.) Deputy Police Chief Ron Dreyer was called upon to bravely show his teeth in response to an imminent threat against President Obama. Jim Hoft of BigGovernment.com has the pictures:

Excuse me, officer? Yes, you -- the one dressed to combat Maximus Decimus Meridius or possibly a Rancor. You look ridiculous. You, your boss, your boss's boss, and especially your boss's boss's boss, are cowards. Please look deep within yourself (I'm sure you signed up with the best of intentions.) and beg the chief to reconsider next time he wants to send a squad in full riot gear to intimidate a peaceful assembly.

Can't you see the look in grandma's eye, she is about to go postal. Good thing SWAT was there to keep her in her place.

Freedom Quotes

America is exceptional, but it is not inherently so. -- Rand Paul
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. -- Benjamin Franklin
What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. –- Thomas Jefferson
Religion isn't the opiate of the masses; it's the placebo of the masses. –- Dr. Gregory House
Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. –- Frederic Bastiat
Why am I a libertarian? I submit, with some serious reservation, that it is easier to bring heart to a heartless doctrine than bring sense to a senseless one. At least libertarianism makes sense; now, to just make it more human. –- Unknown
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largesse out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result being the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing. –- Alexander Fraser Tyler
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. –- Thomas Jefferson
