'Truckers for the Constitution' Plan to Slow D.C. Beltway, Arrest Congressmen [W:192]


Its *than not then. I didn't know I owned or worked in a restaurant?

I also don't remember saying "all truck drivers" either, just the ones who are going to arrest congress people and create havoc.

Don't call me a jackass either.

I don't believe I did call you a jackass. You know what they say about assuming. Making and ass of you and me, ect. I do remember you calling other people retards though, isn't that a little condescending and politically incorrect? Doesn't also go against your progressive ethos?

I did make the presumption you were some one else, who owned a restaurant. I presumed wrong. I guess that makes me ass. I was wondering why their post didn't sound as intelligent as usual. Now I know. It wasn't them, they are intelligent enough to run a business in a very tough sector. I have no I idea who you are.

Oh one more thing. I write as I like, I don't need your correction I prefer then to than. So :2razz: Cheers.
 
Aren't you a snarky little ray of sunshine. You talk a lot of **** for somebody who only has one eye left.
 
What did you think of the occutard protests? Be honest!

Lol - you got caught flat out lying and still can't own up to it. How does that feel? Report me if you want to - it's a personal attack to point out somebody is lying remember?
 
Sometimes you have to fight fire, with fire...Oh, and for the record, your Alinsky tactic will not work.

What do motorists have to do with this issue? They will be the ones affected by these trucks blocking the highway and most likely most of the trucks will end up in impound where they belong.

I hope the city has a huge impound lot.
 

I understood they would park their trucks on the beltway, which was implied when you said they were going to try to arrest Congressmen, which is difficult from a moving truck.
 

It sounds like each truck will be stopped and cited for following too closely.

Are you really in favor of making innocent motorists lives hell for nothing?
 
So wait a minute here. You've criticized groups like OWS for causing disruption and now you cheer on a group using a similiar tactic added with possible kidnapping? Hypocrisy much?

Well I didn't critisize OWS, I think it was ill conceived and failed to accomplish it's goals, but it was a good use of civil disobedience. I support the truckers too.

Have you bothered to ask Obama or Reid why they keep making
innocent lives hell for nothing"?
 

I would think trucker is more accurate. If you say truck driver, people will think all you do is drive the truck, and that is not the case.
 
I love driving a car for 700-1,000 miles in a trip just to get to Denver.
Obviously, the Interstates become a matter of driving with the brother truckers.
I live in a trucking town in Illinois. They mostly use OTR.

I am sorry, somebody steal your thunder? It's what pirates do ya know.:lol: Glad to see I got your goat. Cheers.:lamo

One has nothing to do with the other.

To your point, aren't peoples lives enough of a hell because of Obama to not do something like this to them as well?

You know some people get particular about that sort of thing, I could care less one way or another. They both in my mind denote the same thing.
 
Yeah... So that just gives j Mac and Obama something in common, they're both hypocrites.

I am perfectly ok with calling Obama a hypocrite. It fits. What I don't do is let Obama's hypocrisy affect how I view issues.

Expose your hypocrisy and tell us which side of the occutard revolt you were on.
 

You're talking about shutting down Washington DC. What do you honestly think is going to happen? Tickets? Horse****. There's not a chance in hell the Federal Government would let that stand, nor any of the local (or state) jurisdictions that are covered. It would invite more of the same. If those guys do park their trucks in the road to completely stop the Beltway, they'll be made an example of using whatever rationalization the various police agencies in the area can make up. Fairfax County cops don't care what the law is on the average day, and if these guys try to screw up Fairfax County, the cops will care even less what the law is on that particular day. DC cops, and the various city police forces, plus Maryland and most likely Federal police agencies will all be getting their slice of the pie. You can't just close Washington DC and not expect every police authority within the Beltway to respond. That's just plain naivety. That's not the way these assholes do business. Especially not in the specific areas that would be affected. They can try to argue the letter of the law all day, but they'll be ignored and tossed in jail. If you doubt that, then you obviously don't understand reality.

Also, these would almost certainly be empty trucks. If they have freight to deliver, they're not going to spend an extra 3 days circling DC, and they certainly aren't going to park to stop traffic.
 
And how are they planning to "arrest" anyone traveling at 55 mph?

Arrest doesn't necessarily mean put the cuffs on somebody. Check it out.
 
Just put a very tall barbed-wire fence around DC and don't let the pols out.
 
Maryland was a neutral state. Her citizens served in the Federal and Confederate armies.

I meant Maryland didn't join the Confederacy, but remained a part of the Union. Maryland didn't join the South in secession from the United States.
 
After thinking about this more, I had a laugh. Any of you ever actually driven on the beltway, on any given day? Truckers stopped in the middle of the highway with miles of cars behind them is the norm, lol.
 
Yeah... So that just gives j Mac and Obama something in common, they're both hypocrites.

Thank you very ****ing much for that, because guess what Mr Smartass; jmac being hypocrite doesn't hurt anyone, but Obama being one does.
