Wow, the y/t poster is a paranoid moron. He should try reading the law as to how/where CBP are allowed to operate. And if he doesn't like it write his reps or run for office. Since the checkpoint is inland, he would be fine then with the local SO or State Police running it? Or maybe the FBI or military? And an illegal working for CBP? Nice try.
I know there's a lot of anti-establishment, the cops are always wrong, we live in a police state mentality here, but don't get too paranoid folks. The cops aren't always wrong, sometimes they need to use force (but F tasers), we don't live in Nazi Germany, and we should be vigilant in keeping government in check. But harassing these guys is like harassing a Walmart greeter because you don't like their policies. Dick move.
As for the whole camera thing, who cares if the guy has a camera. Do your job, and don't be a dick about it. Although, my instructors old us not to advertise that we were BP Agents and try not to have pics taken...since some cartels have bounties out for killing Agents.


The y/t poster is paranoid. I doubt the border patrol agent is "illegal", though that's incidental. First, BP are nothing like Walmart greeters. That's a bad analogy. Harassing someone who wants to keep you from freely moving in a supposed free country and trying to steal your private property is nothing like harassing a gentle underpaid elderly woman saying hi to everyone entering Walmart. The BP are pests and abuse their power constantly.

And, yes, we do live in a police state once the government recognizes it has a right to kill its own citizens without due process. There's nothing paranoid about noticing the increased security measures that encroach on our liberties, or states forcing subversives to register, or little 12-year old girls being marched out of class wearing handcuffs, or the countless cases where law enforcement destroy videotape evidence, or the endless beat first ask questions later cases, or local and state police being supplied military weapons by the Pentagon, or being arrested for videotaping officers, or the use of sedatives on the public by police officers.

That's just to name a few.

hmmmmmm... if youre offended and see leftist conspiracy theories when "greed" shows up as an underlying theme in a movie, its probably time to stop think breathe and re exam life. or you could rewatch every disney movie ever, find the subversive leftist/sexy plots and write a sermon about how everyone on the planet is going to burn in hell for supporting disney and their communist/lustful motives.

fucking. crazy.

I love how he corrects himself - "A FRESH breath of air"

The fear in that poor girls eyes before the denial kicks in.

And I LOVE how the reporter wraps it up - its almost subversive

*promote because it is politically subversive!

Yeah this is basicly unique way of communicating/sharing...it can be digital but I like to entertain the postal service workers. PM me your snail mail of your intersted in getting a something in the physical realm.

I want to play, Lann! I'm a doodler, though. I've had pen pals, before. Would this be similar?

If it ups my artistic factor at all, I was expelled from high school for a stick figure. I'm so subversive.

Jesus was a terrorist and a subversive. The Romans and the Jews were just protecting their people.

It's like Howard Beale meets a Shepard Fairey poster meets protest.

It's subversively delicious.

"I am one of those who do not believe the national debt is a national blessing... it is calculated to raise around the administration a moneyed aristocracy dangerous to the liberties of the country."

"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had mens views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."

Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom (1913), Doubleday

"From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing. It played, as a modern writer, Mrs. Webster, has so ably shown, a definitely recognizable part in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century; and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire."

"The people must be helped to think naturally about money. They must be told what it is, and what makes it money, and what are the possible tricks of the present system which put nations and peoples under control of the few."

"I am afraid that the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that the banks can, and do, create and destroy money. The amount of money in existence varies only with the action of the banks in increasing or decreasing deposits and bank purchases. Every loan, overdraft or bank purchase creates a deposit, and every repayment or bank sale destroys a deposit. And they who control the credit of a nation, direct the policy of Governments and hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of the people."

Reginald McKenna, a former Chancellor of the Exchequer, addressing the shareholders as Chairman of the Midland Bank, at the Annual General Meeting in January 1924.

"The present Federal Reserve System is a flagrant case of the Governments conferring a special privilege upon bankers. The Government hands to the banks its credit, at virtually no cost to the banks, to be loaned out by the bankers for their own private profit. Still worse, however, is the fact that it gives the bankers practically complete control of the amount of money that shall be in circulation. Not one dollar of these Federal Reserve notes gets into circulation without being borrowed into circulation and without someone paying interest to some bank to keep it circulating. Our present money system is a debt money system. Before a dollar can circulate, a debt must be created. Such a system assumes that you can borrow yourself out of debt."

Willis A. Overholser, A short review and analysis of the history of money in the United States, with an introduction to the current money problem (1936), p. 56

Holy shit. That is absolutely subversive and damn genius. Fuck. Us atheists should be more creative!

Subversive.

Like graffiti? No, but I love looking at it. Especially this subversive stuff. I subscribed to Juxtapoz for a long time, and they're big into street art.

In every other western nation access to affordable health care is a RIGHT of citizenship.

Americans do not believe it should be a right. Ask Blank fist.

So it's not going to switch to a single payer health care system anytime soon. It will be changed into something inanely stupid by law makers benefiting mostly the private health insurance industry that has done a marvelous job of lobbying and putting out pressure to make sure it comes out ahead.

Which it has. More people will need to get health insurance and the private insurance companies will also receive government subsidies. The industry will grow larger and be harder to dismantle years down the line.

Capitalistic subversion of government. it works bitches.

Well, remember, CNN, MS-DNC, CBS, ABC, Hollywood, government schools, unions and almost all newspapers that don't have 'Wall Street" in their names are all water-carriers for the taxocrat party. Dont even take .1% of what they say as truth or fact. These true believers and Obamapologists are the lowest common denominator of something-for-nothing subversive statists.

FYI -- that' s not canned laughter. He has an audience. A real audience. He proves it nightly and laughs at the numbnuts on the internet who accuse him of having a Teamster in the back room running the laugh machine.

The really brilliant thing about this rant is the pressure he has been under to appeal to the younger demographic. He talks about it periodically -- how CBS keeps after him to appeal to the valued 18-35 male segment, or whatever it is. CBS wants him to dye his hair, they want him to do SOMETHING to appeal to the money-making demographic.

And then for him to come out and do this rant, where he tells that same demographic that they are young and stupid is subversive, honest, brave. Maybe his cause and effect isn't 100% accurate. But this guy is didn't claim to be a historian.

I adore Craig Ferguson. He can be silly and tiresome at times. I don't expect perfection. He is honest in a way that I have rarely seen on TV. He may not be right, but he is honest.
