How can anybody not love this guy?

The hope is by electing Tea party/Constitutional candidates in 2012, we the people, can help shift behavior of elitist politicians.

I am for retaining my civil liberties and am accepting of 'taking it in the shorts' if my irresponsibility is the cause of an accident. Once you allow personal freedoms to be stripped away, you will never get them back.

Your story leaves me feeling pretty heavyhearted.

There wasn't anything to cut in lieu? What's next, the firetrucks? This is another perfect example of Government/Public sector thinking...cut from the top down. Take away critical services and/or equipment to gain leverage and lean on taxpayers. In the Governments world, they cut the grocery bill before they cancel their cable service.

I imagine the firefighters standing along the beach discussing possible rescue ideas, but weighing those ideas against the risk and of course, city policy. On the flipside, imagine a person struggling for dear life, flailing their arms and screaming for help, this situation would have most likely garnered a much different result, policy or not.

Numerous deadly downtown shootings in the last year and no community volunteer patrols? Not a coincidence. I guess the divide here is that the majority class are groomed through public education and taught principles of equality and tolerance, to treat people with a fair and even hand, no matter sexual orientation, gender, race, and or religion and a vast majority of people carry these teachings as a moral foundation throughout life. Only to watch as minority classes seem to be taught something completely different from social leaders within. Double standards and discrimination are glaringly obvious.

If you ever stepped out of that hazy closed-minded land of Multnomah county, you may just realize that most whom you perceive as such, are really just law abiding, tolerant, respectful, peace loving human beings also.

And btw, had I been in the vicinity of those two that were attacked and had the means to protect them, I definitely would have gay or not.
