		<description>Sgt. Crowley went to the White House because he was ordered... or in as much expected to go there to represent the Cambridge Police as well as other law enforcement agencies. He, like most law enforcement officers I suspect, didn&#039;t think twice about it.  Black and white relations is a lot different in law enforcement, we are so far ahead of the rest of the country we are waiting for everyone else to catch up. We respect each other, rely on each other to survive, watch out for each other and our kids and protect each other.  We fight like brothers and sisters and are just normal people doing our job.  Catch up America!</description>

		<description>What beer should be served?

... why, LOST NATION PALE ALE, of course.

The Beer for people who have Lost Their Nation, NOT Their Taste.


LOST NATION PALE ALE from Willoughby Brewing Company, 4057 Erie Street Willoughby Ohio.

http://www.willoughbybrewing.com/beer.htm


The Ethnic Stereotyping Parable of Beer

So...

Maybe if we were to consider the whole &quot;beer at the White House&quot; (Breaking and entering) thing from Sgt. Crowley&#039;s (Prof. Gates) point of view?

You never know, he might feel a little put upon, having someone of another ethnic background automatically assuming he liked to drink (break and enter) because he was Irish (Black)? Maybe even if he is standing in a bar (In the foyer of a house with a broken front door) when he gets the invite?

I mean, especially if he knows in the depths of his very soul and through the personal experience of generations of his ethnic group that there is a history of societal-wide biased belief that the majority of Irishmen (Blacks) abuse alcohol (Break and enter)?

What if the invite was really only an innocent one - the kind of invite that someone might extend to a working acquaintance (Perp) or customer (Taxpayer) while in the course of their job?

But what if then, as Sgt. Crowley (Prof. Gates) has been conditioned to look at such pleasantries as an insult to his heritage and his intelligence, he takes offense at the invitation to “have a beer” (Show some I.D.)?

Are we to then blame Sgt. Crowley (Prof. Gates)?

Of course not – blame the inviter, not the invitee.</description>

		<description>AFVET - No apology necessary. Your concerns and frustrations mirror many other people&#039;s, including mine.

God bless, and thanks for your input. As usual, your voice resonates with that of much of conservative America.</description>

		<description>He&#039;s drinking a beer while destroying the U.S. economy.
He is petulant. He has surrounded himself with thugs. He is an amateur politician, but a good speaker.
His arrogance will be his downfall.
Buried in the senate version of the health care bill is the union &quot;free choice act&quot;.
I heard that on Rush. I hope that isn&#039;t true. He didn&#039;t spend too much time on it.
BUT if this is true, ( and I wouldn&#039;t put it past them), how can we stop them from passing bills w/ amendments that have nothing to do with the primary bill?

Nail them when they come home to their districts and tell them that you know how they voted on the porkulis bill, TARP. Ask them if they like their medical plan, pension, job, transportation on the tax-payer&#039;s dime.
 Tell them that they work for us, and we can fire them, and will in 2010 if they don&#039;t listen to us.

Tell them that they are the public servants, and we elected them to serve the public, U.S.

NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND !!!!!!!

Obama&#039;s policies WILL DESTROY YOUR FUTURE INDEPENDENCE !!!

WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!!

sorry for the rant.</description>
