Help! I agree with Kathleen Parker!

The crazed uber-Coulter is as looney a Bush apologist as they come...so I kept waiting for the "gotcha" in this article. It never came. Nice work, KP...as amazed as I am to be saying that!

"Since the raid last week, McCrackin has been shown on national news reports seated at a four-panel video screen in his office where he keeps an eye on his nefarious herd. Apparently, he saw something that looked to him like an imminent threat of a drug transaction and placed a call to gulag headquarters. I mean the police department.

Whereupon 14 officers responded with notable enthusiasm. They "assumed strategic positions," and "did unholster in a down-ready position," said Aarons.

Thankfully, no one was shot or hurt, but then neither were any drugs confiscated. Instead, the entire exercise was a lesson in everything we hope not to teach our children, that:

School officials are not to be trusted;

Police are not to be trusted;

Grownups are dangerous and weird.

That's what I heard as I watched reruns with two college freshmen, and that's what I would take away from the experience were I a Stratford student."

1. wingnuts can be schizophrenic

they want with all their hearts to love Bush and Ashcroft and support what they do 110%

But among some of them there is an understanding of the importance of restricting police powers... A tiny bit of US history, the reasons for civil liberties, etc., still exists somewhere in their propaganda adled brains...
