I don't want to drive the speed limit, I have to get somewhere FAST

[liveoaktx]

I think I shouldn't get a ticket simply because I'm breaking the law, I have a good reason I have to drive fast every time and besides, I don't agree that the speed limit should be so slow. Instead of me waiting for the legislature to change the law, and raise the speed limit, I'm just going to do what I want and wait for them to give me a ticket and take me to court... if they catch me.

1. I would love to present that argument in court

It perfectly illustrates what W is doing. Better yet, make that case to every GOPper you encounter, and see what their response is!

2. Dear GW....

Please diregard any obstacles you may think you see, especially the large truck-shaped ones. They are merely mirages, and you can drive right through them. Go faster!!! :applause:

3. I thought you were talking about Bill Janklow

4. Whoa, did you read my mind?

I think those exact same thoughts whenever I get into my car.

Oops, damn, I shouldn't have typed that into this post.

I better not hit the "Post Message" button.

5. And besides, by driving fast, I defeat the terrorists

You haven't seen any terrorist attacks, have you? Proves my point right there.

No, the anthrax killer was not a terrorist. The DC snipers weren't terrorists, either. Abortion clinic bombings aren't terrorism, so stop saying that.

Gotta go for a drive now, so we'll all be safe.

7. Thank you for keeping us safe gratuitous

You're doing the Lord's work there, buddy. Don't let those pesky traffic laws keep you down. :thumbsup:

6. I was just wondering what simple analog could be used to get that

across to the dopes that say "It's ok if he spies on me, huh, huh."

The question now that we know he got there to fast to have obeyed the law, how do we get the golden boy in court, prove it beyond a reasonable doubt and get his license taken away?

8. But Clinton and Carter and Kennedy sped before I did. But not RayGun.

Of course Clinton Carter and Kennedy did it with a police escort and I did it alone. But never mind since I am not the first one to speed I am not guilty. Will this argument fly for robbing banks too?

10. better tell Usama to buckle up, it's the law!

11. one more shameless kick because it's a simple but apropos analogy

12. I don't know..someone may want to impeach you..

You be talking Republican talk there now...

[BrewerJohn]

13. But, if you say that to people a large fraction would say

Hell Yeah!

Speed limits are probably the most ignored laws there are.

[liveoaktx]

14. Even if that's true, they would still agree THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW

[BrewerJohn]

15. And they hope they don't get caught

or if they do, don't have to pay any penalty, and don't plan to stop doing it.

[liveoaktx]

16. Gee, Just like the President- but people driving in traffic didn't

take an oath to obey the laws and uphold the Constitution- Ass did.

[BrewerJohn]

17. But the Constitution says his most solumn duty is to protect

the American people, whatever it takes.

At least his copy does. I can't find it in mine.

18. Actually it would be funnier...

If when the cop stopped you, you gave them a note from your attorney (signed R. Gonzalez, Esquire), who had thoroughly "researched" the matter, stating that you were personally entitled to speed as much as you would like and that the matter didn't require a ticket or a court date...

However, given the shoot first, handcuff later policy we just saw in New Orleans, this may not be the wisest choice...

20. Yeah!

19. Nice analogy.

Peace.

[LittleClarkie]

21. Gee, you mean 9/11 didn't change the speed limits

Why do the police hate America?

[kentuck]

22. Good analogy, liveoak!
