Los Angeles:

This week an “immigrant,” I put it in quotes because we have not learned at this writing whether he is legal or illegal, was shot to death by the LAPD. The city of Los Angeles and the LAPD are taking a lot of heat for this as you would expect.

I don't understand the question. Do you mean have I attended their events, no. Do I have a membership card, no. I don't think they have membership cards. Or do you mean do I respect and believe in the right of American citizens to exercise their Constitutional rights, whether I disagree or agree with their position? yes.

This was sent to me awhile ago. In light of the ruling in Arizona this week, I thought I would share it with you now.

I will discuss this on this weeks program.

I want to thank Tom N.

Here is what was sent:

My great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Civil War, my father watched as his friends died in WW II, and I watched as my friends died in Vietnam .

I recently received the above quotation in an email recently. I decided to discuss this with D’neirf Enigami, who is a devout modern progressive. I thought that I would get his thoughts on this quote and asked him to reference it and comment on it in terms of how it relates to the modern progressive movement. Here is the interview:

WS Hello D’neirf, how are you today?

General McChystal left President Obama no choice but to accept his resignation or fire him if you prefer. It is a breech of protocol and tradition to criticize the “commander in chief” publicly or in the press. It is a big no-no.

I do not disagree, the military’s roll is not make or comment on policy, the military’s job carry out policy decisions made my a civilian government.

Last year, one of my students did a paper and presentation on the importance of transparency in the midst of a business crisis. In his discussion of crisis management, he cited two examples, the first the Exxon Valdez spill and the second Johnson & Johnson’s Tylenol recall a few years ago.

Politics have never been particularly civilized. There have always been accusations about candidates and elected officials and probably many of them are true. However where do we draw the line?
