Hagel calls it quits. Good Riddance

Posted by Husker Neocon on Friday, September 14, 2007 8:14:25 PM
    So Chuck Hagel decided that it was time to move on with his life.  He says that it is a tough decision, and that he wanted to spend time with his family.
    What he failed to say was that the vast majority of Nebraskans (largely conservative and proud of it) really dont like him.  he moved to Nebraska for the sole purpose of running for Senate.  He was elected in a republican landslide, and actually acted like he was representing the state until 9/11.  Then, he became  someone who we really dont want in Washington.  He began to side with Democrats, saying that America fighting back was a bad idea.
    When Hagel found that all of the Mainstream Media liked a Republican who would bash the president, all of a sudden he was everywhere.
   But, this made him very un-popular with Nebraskans, and would have lost the primary.

   So, Chuck, go back to Washington and hang out with your lib friends.  We dont want you back.

Police and violence

Posted by Husker Neocon on Friday, September 14, 2007 8:05:52 PM
In a letter to the Lincoln Journal Star on August 25th, Jacob Hoy-Elswick wrote that the arrest of former Lincolnite and local activist Alexandra Svoboda in North Providence, R.I., " highlights the need for nonviolence communication intervention in this country."

In prior news articles, they mention that Svoboda hit officers with drum sticks, and resisted her arrest.

Hoy-Elswick says, "It’s time we examine our method of communication at all levels of our society. It’s time we learn to express our ideas and grow through debate and mediation."

I find it amazing that there are people who actually believe that "discussion" can solve every situation.

If the young woman wasn't illegally protesting and didn't swing drumsticks at police she most likely wouldn't have been hurt.

But, she choose to resist arrest,and got hurt. In a crowd (riot?) situation, you cannot take time to try and talk someone out of violently resisting arrest. In actuality, but using force when necessary, you actually prevent further injury to both the police and suspect (and in this situation you may prevented a riot)

New Lancaster County Jail

Posted by Husker Neocon on Friday, September 07, 2007 8:41:14 PM


According to the Lincoln Journal Star, "Lancaster County leaders defended themselves Thursday after a community activist criticized them for not doing enough to ease the county's burgeoning jail population."

John Krejci, who is a writer for the Nebraska Criminal Justice Review (whatever that is) told the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners "he doesn't doubt the county is using alternatives to keep the jail population at bay, but he thinks more needs to be done."

In a rose-colored glasses world this would be swell. But, the truth is, we make Lincoln and Lancaster County safer by locking up criminals.

People go to jail because they are "victims" of society. They go because they choose to commit crime. Plain and simple.

By locking up criminals, they can't commit more crime

I say build 2 new jails and throw the book at all the scumbags.

The Republican Debate and Ron Paul

Posted by Husker Neocon on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 11:19:01 PM


Well, I sat through the majority of the Republican debate, and I did have a few observations.
First, the Fox moderators asked some pretty tough questions. I guess this is why the Democrats wouldn't debate on Fox. Kudos to Brit Hume and the rest of the Fox staff for a job well done.
Second, Ron Paul is a nut-case!
When a man who is trying to be nominated as a Republican tries the Democrat line that "Neocons" have taken over and ruined the party is beyond belief. Paul is really a liberal democrat, clogging up the works.
Paul's stance that we must leave Iraq immediately, despite the consequences is idiotic. Paul's policies mirror the lib Democrats. Who is he kidding (beside himself) that he will be the Republican nominee?
Signs posted around the city, supporting Ron Paul, written on cardboard boxes really tell the story:

Other than tin-foil hat wearing nutcases and transients, nobody will vote for Ron Paul.

One more thing: Welcome Fred, hit the ground running!
