it might be true, but this is the nuttiest site i've seen this year. anyone who links to max keiser as if the latter knew what he was talking about is surely a fool.

i also have no love for the UN, but i don't have anything left to say about it, and in my opinion anyone who does is probably a fed.

and keynes a pervert? please. he was pathetic and self-centered enough as a third-rate mathematician with no real friends and an inferiority complex that led him to spoil academic economics with a fascist turd of a book. what more is needed?

I have no idea about Delaware, but PA Sheriffs do not have arrest powers. They guard courthouses, issue Licenses To Carry Firearms, and handle forclosure sales.

There are only two circumstances where they can arrest someone. First is pursuant to a warrant signed by a judge, and second if you commit a felony right in front of them. That's the same rules that apply to regular citizens.
