This should only be a problem if traffic is obstructed, or liberals get wind of it.I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.

So, they are going to park, in single file, out of the lane of travel, not blocking intersections, leave their engines on to burn the fuel they paid for, in a vehicle they own and have insured, in order to talk or text on or via a hand-held electronic device that they own or lease and pay the air-time for?

Inspired by Sarah Palin commenting that the Obama administration's actions are putting the nation on the "road to ruin," the group is encouraging followers to "vent your frustration, without being labeled, or maligned!" in the "Just Stop!" event. Here's the plan:
• We want everyone to get into their cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, Semis, box trucks, and any other vehicle, and drive to your nearest highway or main route;
• Don't go far, just enough to get in a safe position to pull over to the shoulder, and park, engine running, headlights and flashers on;
• Why? To take a cell call, or make one or several. After all, law enforcement recommends that you pull over to the side to take your call or text.
• Hook up a boat trailer, a snow mobile hauler, or anything to make the line look miles and miles long, bring your tractor-trailer;
• Set up a long motorcycle run to a STOP;
• Get your car club involved to show off those great hot rods and collectibles;
• Imagine others driving by wondering "what the heck"? Wave to everyone;
• Get ten friends to do the same; or go to an over pass and hang temporary signs saying – "Time to stop!" Just imagine the imagery! But be SAFE!
• Once pulled over to the side, place calls or texts to your friends, take pictures, send tweets, flood Facebook with messages and photos, along with several million others on other highways across the land.
• Stay one hour if you can, get your friends to do the same, line up all your vehicles in a safe manner as far off the side as you can, and hit your horns.
• One hour gives the media a chance to react, a chance to get footage. Imagine the traffic reports!
• Hang a sign inside your back window, or use temporary soap to write a message safely on the window;
• Be a part of millions of people saying: "Stop the madness, we are pulling over and just stopping!"Originally posted by K40To me, open carry is the equivalent of the couple making out and groping each other at the food court in the mall. Yeah, they are probably legal, as long as they don't start getting undressed. But they are still social retards.

That's one of the dumbest ideas for a protest I've ever heard. Someone in Cali must've come up with it...Other officer: Oh that's right, I forgot, you're God's gift to police work.
Me: At least someone recognizes it.
Turns out basic police work isn't so hard, you just have to leave the station.
