look at what liberal activist judges have done over the years. they let criminals go free because a cop didnt have time to give them a talking to about their rights. (right like when an arrest is going down a cop has the time to do this...and were talking about thugs here they dont deserve rights anyway) they signed off on the deaths of millions of children. they make porno a right. the make flag burning a right. the let fags marry. and they interfer with states when they can telling them they have to let black and whites marry even if it was a law on their books since the 1600s.

If you ever got arrested (especially for something you didn't do) and you didn't have your rights read to you, I can guess who'd be crying 'Foul!' the loudest. You are NOT a patriot, you are an idiot.
Well, that´s the problem with you. You say that they were thugs, how do you know it?, that´s why people need to know their rights. BECAUSE IF THEY ARE NOT THUGS, if the police commited a mistake, whose the fault?(it could be YOU). Second, in 1600 there was slavery too, would you like to come back to it AS WELL?(or people dying of flu)
If it makes you feel any better, John Ashcroft interfered with State's rights when he sent federal officers to arrest cancer patients who were using medical marijuana in California, even handcuffing some while in hospital beds; Your boy Bush is trying to interfere with state's rights, in an effort to outlaw gay marriage.
I think your argument is hypocritical.
My uncle Gary was a Chicago cop for 30 years. Reading a suspect their Miranda Rights was such a habit he used to recite it when he would reel a fish into the boat on Lake Michigan. I don't even think he realized he was doing it.
"...they don't deserve rights anyway."
Of course they do. Because until they are tried and convicted in a court of law, in the USA they aren't guilty of anything. That's the way it works, and it doesn't work that way to protect the rights of criminals, it works that way to protect the rights of innocent people. The rights of the actual criminal are revoked when they are sentenced.
signed off on the deaths of millions of children."
I assume you are talking about abortion? The validity of this depends on your definition of "child," doesn't it?
...they make porno a right."
No, they make free speech a right. the same right you are using right now. Pornography is an unfortunate side effect of free speech, just as you hate speech is.
"...the [sic] make flag burning a right..."
No, it was always a right, they have simply declined to deny it. It's part of that whole "free speech" thing you have such a problem with. Unless, of course, it's your own speech...
...let black and whites marry even if it was a law on their books since the 1600s."
Sigh. And there it is, your true motivation. You aren't a fundie, you're just another asshole racist.
Just because a law dates back to the 1600s doesn't mean it's a good law, or that it should stand forever. Societies change, values change, laws change. Change is a fact of life. I'm sorry if that loosens the bowels of fundamentalists through sheer terror, but that's the way it is. Now, Merle, do us all a favor: pull your lower lip over your head and swallow.

Sandman, if you're serious this is the most hilarious case of conditioning by one's job I've ever heard of.
Ahh, my first instinct, that "thugs" = "black people," was validated by the end of the quote.
Too bad my satisfaction at being right is overshadowed by the fact that this guy exists.
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee;
We don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street;
We like livin' right, and bein' free.
I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all
We don't make a party out of lovin';
We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo;
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy,
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball.
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all.
Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear;
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen.
Football's still the roughest thing on campus,
And the kids here still respect the college dean.
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.

the make flag burning a right.
It ought to be. The day you ban flag burning is the day the flag deserves to be burned, because the freedom it once stood for will be reduced if not removed entirely.
I "heart" gays. I "heart" blacks too. I dont "heart" porno and neither do you.
I "heart" my country. I "heart" states too. I dont f***ing care that you hate everybody except yourself and you can shove it up your ass because this is America, the home of the free, and we the majority like to give everyone an equal chance but there are some people that just have to be prejudice and f*** it all up and piss off the world so that we get attacked by cranky foreign countries and then our nationalism gets abused and thrown into some stupid "conflict" that is draining all our resources and our younger generations and then Hilary Clinton runs for president and then the stupid people vote for her and she cracks off her shell and out pops an evil dragon and she kills everyone except you and she cradles you at night and calls you poor billy and then you go on the internet and cry about how crapy the world is now and everyone just laughs and says:
It was all because of you.
There were laws on the books in the 1600's that allowed purported witches to be burned.
In the 1700's, there were laws on the books that declared black people to be 3/5 of a person.
Not every old law is right. Not every old law is worth keeping.
It is called constitutionality, Merle. That's what the Supreme Court is there for. And by the way, why the fuck do you care about teh pr0n? (Hums Tom Lehrer's "Smut" song)
And sweet smoking Siddhartha, "and they interfer with states when they can telling them they have to let black and whites marry even if it was a law on their books since the 1600s. " What century is this, again?!
You, Merle Jennings, sir, are an ASS! I can see that you enjoy spewing - mostly inanely with horrendous grammar and spelling - and it is to the delight of other web-surfers...quite amusing; please do keep it up!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
