Sorry Indianans

And some of you wonder why they don't allow political threads here.

We are NOT Indianians! As PJ correctly pointed out, we are HOOSIERS, as in Hoosier daddy, LOL! What part of this do you not understand?

so what is a hoosier?

I'm wondering why this one is still here, especially the bizarre posts by medeweywhateverhescallinghimselfthesedays.

A Hoosier is a person who resides in Indiana, same as a Hawkeye is a person who resides in Iowa, or a Sooner is a person who resides in Oklahoma.

Residents of Indiana are known as Hoosiers. The derivation of the term is disputed, but one hypothesis has "Hoosier" originating from a frontier greeting, a corruption of "Who's here?".

Generally states nicknames are named after something.

A hoosier would be one who hoosies.

"According to Newton County [IN] Sheriff, Don Hartman Sr., random house to house searches are now possible and could be helpful following the Barnes v. STATE of INDIANA Supreme Court ruling issued on May 12th, 2011. When asked three separate times due to the astounding callousness as it relates to trampling the inherent natural rights of Americans, he emphatically indicated that he would use random house to house checks, adding he felt people will welcome random searches if it means capturing a criminal."
Ref: The Smoking Argus

For the record DonDiego would not welcome a random search of his house, without just cause.

I believe that was also the argument for warrantless wiretapping in the original "Patriot Act" ...and also many of the new state laws to crack down on illegal immigrants. We are meant to trust the government's good judgement on whose liberties they may infringe upon with the promise it will only be the "bad people".

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, doesn't it?

PJ is afraid the police will come in and discover he is watching a Bills game instead of the Colts; or even worse get caught watching a college basketball game not featuring Indiana U
