Come Back With A Warrant

Apparently Target has it's finger on the pulse of the country. Too bad I didn't know about that doormat before Christmas. It would have been the perfect gift for my husband's nephew to give to his father-in-law....the Sheriff.

I like it! I might invest in one of those for myself in the near future, especially as I'm expecting at least one visit from officialdom before too long - where I live, you need a licence to own a TV capable of picking up a broadcast signal. If you don't pay for the licence, you can get fined. If you don't pay the fine, you can get a couple of weeks in jail (ironically, prisoners don't need a TV Licence). TV transmissions went over to digital in my region a couple of weeks ago, and my telly only picks up analogue, so I cancelled my TV Licence. The agency that deals with TV licensing has written to me to let me know they'll be sending someone round to check that I don't have a digital telly. Of course those guys don't actually have any powers of entry, so unless I'm in a really good mood, they'll be left out in the cold ;-)

Well one things for certain...Targets gonna make a mint selling those mats!!! ;}

LOL. Love it. Too bad they are all sold out. I think this shows that the main stream retailers realize there is a BIG market in these kinds of items. Which means the "tea party movement" and others like them are not soo "fringe" or "the small minority". Especially for Target to be carrying it. Too bad I did not know about this at christmas...it would have made great gifts for some of my friends.

I would love one of those mats. We had a cop at our door the one time asking if someone lived here. We had no idea who the cop was talking about, and then he is asking if he can come in. When we told him no, he said he was going to arrest us if we did not let him in. Then my mom came out, said do you have a warrant? He said no, and she slammed the door in his face. It was a rather funny moment. Weird, but funny.

I totally want one of those mats! I'm a libertarian though, so i guess it's to be expected. I just wonder why I didn't see these earlier on, what with the patriot act and all.

Sorry folks I went to Target.com and they are out of stock. This is a powerful statement by Target - not a conservative store - and their shoppers who tend to be more liberal. I say this based on causes that the stores support. When I tried to get support for the families of troops serving overseas. I was told that this did not fit their philosophy. Considering this, for Target to offer such a thing is very interesting.

That sounds like the perfect mat!

The government, particularly the police, don't spy on your phone calls. They watch the numbers certain numbers call. If its suspicious as far as terrorism, its watched. No one gives a crap what YOU are talking about. Not to mention you do not have a right to privacy as long as your real rights are not interfered with by the invasion.

i think i'll pass on buying the doormat.

Please do not misunderstand, I get the seriousness of your topic...but what a riot! I gotta have one of those mats!!!!

I don't buy from Target, they support Glenn Beck. This sounds like something that Beck will be selling for his partners in stupidity.

LMAO!! I WANT ONE OF THESE!! Seriously! This is so hilarious to me. And you're right. National freedoms are being jeaporized. Plus, there's an ironic bit of dark humor in that. I think I might just have to go out and buy that.. tomorrow.
