moving heart silence
As we move forward, I am looking for a new leader of the Chicago Police Department to address the problems at the very heart of the policing profession. The problem is sometimes referred to as "the thin blue line." The problem is other times referred to as "the code of silence." It is this tendency to ignore. It is the tendency to deny. It is the tendency, in some cases, to cover up the bad actions of a colleague or colleagues.
strong class digging
A strong economy depends on a strong middle class, but George Bush has put the middle class in a hole, and John McCain has a plan to keep digging that hole with George Bush's shovel.
chicago chicks values
Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values
wall feet president
Banks are slowly but surely lending again, and never again will taxpayers foot the bill for Wall Street's excesses. In case we forgot, that was the change we believed in. That was the change we fought for. That was the change President Obama delivered.
responsible above-the-law behave
No officer should be allowed to behave as if they are above the law, just because they are responsible for upholding the law.
war facts policy
The fact is, Bush's war policy has failed. It's failed! Who better to say so than Jack Murtha?
thinking political legal-system
Things happened there that I don't think are the finest hours for anybody, whether it was a journalist, the legal system or, in that case of the political system, who would say that was an example of when Washington worked best.
america comforting mind
What is more comforting to the terrorists around the world: the failure to pass the 9/11 legislation because we lacked 'a majority of the majority,' or putting aside partisan politics to enact tough new legislation with America's security foremost in mind?
abuse culture
Permitting and protecting even the smallest acts of abuse by a tiny fraction of our officers leads to a culture where extreme acts of abuse are more likely.
two people four
Republicans are 'bad people who deserve a two-by-four upside their heads.'
gun law class
We're bending the law as far as we can to ban an entirely new class of guns.
waste serious want
You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.
thinking weather people
I've not been to Afghanistan or - but what people are clearly pointing to is that it becomes more difficult to have it. You could do it. I think weather is a factor. The most important factor though is credibility and legitimacy. What I wanted earlier to say is what I think Senator [John] Kerry is pointing to, which is important, is the strategic review on whether to send more troops is only one piece of the puzzle, important piece.
crazy tampons
Take your f***ing tampon out and tell me what you have to say.
