I didn’t see the time for taunting the police and getting arrested -before or after dinner?

I’d like to see F16′s scramble and take out your Piper Cub- better than a flyover.
Seriously, I hope Flyboy is not so delusional as to think he can buzz a graduation and the Pres.

The taunting is implied. I hope Spongebob is there again.

I seriously doubt anyone thinks that they will be flying the plane during commencement. (It is silly to suggest that the pilot or anyone else would think otherwise.)
As for taunting the police and getting arrested… I am earnestly curious.. who are you willing to be jailed for in order to protect them?
My prayers are with my many friends and fellow Christians for following the law and teachings of God while standing up for those who are without a voice.
It is courageous, honorable and good.
Peace,
a

Quote of the Day

When Attorney General Eric Holder appeared before the House Judiciary Committee last Wednesday to provide information on a variety of scandals plaguing the Obama administration, he was also questioned about whether he had ever enforced the federal Born Alive Infants Protection Act. Holder’s response was the same as it was 56 other times that day: “I don’t know.”

The Born Alive Act, passed by Congress in 2002, should have prevented the gruesome and grotesque killing of innocent lives that occurred in the clinic of Kermit Gosnell and is accused to have taken place in the pending case of late-term abortionist Douglas Karpen of Houston, Texas.

Interestingly, Holder seemed to evade a response to the question, put to him by Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ), by referring to his wife as “an obstetrician, a gynecologist – very accomplished in her field.”

What Holder did not mention is that his wife, Sharon Malone Holder of Foxhall OB/GYN in Washington D.C., and her sister are co-owners, through a family trust, of an Atlanta area abortion clinic building, located on Old National Highway in College Park, Georgia….

[Catherine Davis, a founding member of the National Black Prolife Coalition] said she was outraged by the revelations. “There is a clear conflict of interest when the man charged with pursuing those that abuse the system is also one who is engaged in some way with the business.”
