  1. I hereby pledge $20 to the "Osama Bin Laden for president in 2008"
    fund, for every pro-Bush post made here.

    I don't think that's a good idea. Your disability check will disappear
    pretty fast.

    The Child Support Enforcement Division of the Massachusetts Department
    of Revenue probably won't like that idea, either. Better pay them
    first.

    Just make sure that you register the fund in your REAL name.

    I'm just pleased to see that people who hate the current president - who is
    the majority's choice in a free election, are also big fans and supporters
    of terrorists and those who seek to destroy Western civilization.

    At least they are showing their suicidal/genocidal preferences. My
    question is why those who would promote people like Bin Laden are still here
    in the country that they clearly hate. It's like an atheist in church or
    an abortionist at a Pro Life rally. What is wrong with Indonesia, Saudi
    Arabia and Yemen? Answer: Debilitating viruses work better when they are in
    the victim's body.

    What a concept !

    So that means we can only support the president or the terrorists ?

    You are either for us or against us, blah blah.

    Nah, Martin. There is a rather large gulf between opposing the current
    administration's policies and even joking about running bin laden for
    president. Plenty of room for open bebate, and the fact is that idiotic
    kooktalk like that promoted by Hank has a far more chilling effect on that
    debate.

    Dear Hick,

    If you really think that the post you refer to was serious, you need to buy
    a "dictionary" (that's a big thick book with *lots* of words in it), and
    look up the words "satire" and "irony".

    You'll feel much better afterwards.

    I looked up "satirony" and couldn't find it. Then I looked up "satisfaction"

    Remove the "under God" portion, and you have the Pledge of Allegiance.

    That is false, even in Than Franthithco.

    You should learn your history, "under God" was added in 1956 and wasn't
    part of the original Pledge.

    You should read this to see how wrong you are.

    Probably did, but I was thinking more in terms of: "The United States shall
    guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and
    shall protect each of them against invasion; and on Application of the
    Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened)
    against domestic violence."

    The millions of illegals from around the globe pouring into our country
    sounds pretty much like an invasion.

    Thanks to McCarthy, we had that added, as well as "In God We Trust" added
    to our money. E Pluribus Unum.

    "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense,
    founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of
    enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as
    the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility
    against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no
    pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption
    of the harmony existing between the two countries." --
    Treaty of Tripoli, Artile 11

    LOL! Here you take a personal letter as Holy Writ that transcends the
    volumes of public documents, speeches and legislation which confirms the
    Christian origins while you deliberately ignore the Declaration of
    Independance which points to Providence, a document signed by the vast
    majority as firm believers.

    I will throw you a bone: I concur that 'W' signing of the 1st Amendment
    violating McCain/Fiengold free speech criminalization bill would be
    considered a valid attack against the USC. The "No Child Left Behind" (not
    to be confused with Tim LaHaye's "Left Behind" series) seems to violate the

    you have a genuine abandonment of the valueof the 14th Amendment, and
    arguably outright sedition in terms of Article 4 Section 4.

    But 'W' is a mere amateur when it comes to good old fashioned ripping and
    shredding of the USC. For it is a time honored tradition of all
    politicians.

    'Scuse me, Skippy, but when you're referring to the law, "USC" means
    United States Code. If you're talking about the Constitution of the
    United States of America, you can call it "the Constitution." If you
    really feel compelled to abbreviate, try the Harvard Bluebook[1]
    abbreviation "US Const." But if you're going to play lawyer, try to
    use the right abbreviations, mmmkay?

    Unless, of course, you're one of those militia nutjobs who think that
    the only valid law is that based on the UCC. In that case, carry on.

    Might be understandable enough when you've considered that George Bush is

    "ruthless, brutal and corrupt as ":

    Adolf [censored]?
    Josef Stalin?
    Saddam Hussein?
    Mao Tse-tung?

    Of these four alone in the last century, the body count was in the
    hundreds of millions - and that is of their own countrymen. What is the

    then we can compare. I'll start the list with "I never had sex with than
    woman, Monica Lewinsky". Then amble on over to the public records
    regarding Clinton's perjury (aka "lying under oath"😉 which got him
    impeached, then we can progress on to those memorable words regarding

    any other president such as the wealth transfer system where young people
    supply free or heavily discounted Viagra to wealthy seniors. Heck, if he

    Quite frankly, in the most raw political terms, if you didn't vote for him

    doesn't owe you squat no matter what right you claim to have earned. If
    I had a Demoncat act as my representative, and I didn't vote for him, and
    wouldn't vote for him in any subsequent elections, he doesn't have to
    listen to a single word I say - and he would be right.

    I think that it is brazen arrogance on your part to fight this man at
    every single turn and then demand that through this hostile and violent
    opposition that you have somehow EARNED the right to have him do whatever
    your petty demands dictate. Reason would seem to prevail here and say
    that 'W', like any other politician, has a duty to the USC and the law
    first, then to his supporters 2nd. I don't think that you would even
    show up on the radar. Anything thrown in your direction should be
    considered mercy and grace for all of the [censored] that you have slung towards

    It isn't your United States of America - we all are borrowing it from our
    ancestors and are passing what we don't destroy to our children.

    From your posts, it is clear that you reject the USC and the republican
    form of government that it guarantees. From a practical standpoint,
    there is really only one constitutional republic on the face of this
    earth, and for the millions of us on this planet who have been graced by
    God to live in this country, we have no other place to go to escape
    totalitarian apologists like you. So since you hate a constitutional
    republic, and since the world already has plenty of places where it is
    likely that you will find a government more to your liking, instead of
    trying to destroy this country and its culture, perhaps you would be
    happier in a socialist nation that already holds and cherishes your
    values, rather you staying here an pissing in the soup for those of us
    troglodytes that still prefer to be a nation of Laws under God.

    Think of it as simply honoring our differences of opinion. To borrow
    from folks like you, consider leaving the US as a Constitutional Republic
    in the name of "Diversity" as in a Diversity of Governments on this Earth.
    (Whether that requires actually leaving or just enjoying the glory of the
    world's only superpower is up to you)

    But I know it isn't about respecting others - you want to see our
    predominately Christian culture destroyed and replaced by decadent
    secularism. That's what makes your post so comical and so richly
    deserving comment for its over-the-top hypocrisy.

    <left all of it in place for demonstration>

    Whew.. now that's impressive.. Piece by piece.. this entire rant is so full
    of holes, anyone could drive a truck through them.. No need to bother..
    What's really jumping out is that you believe George Bush is serving as
    president to represent ONLY the ones who voted for and supported him..

    WRONG.. George Bush represents ALL Americans, even the ones who disagree
    with him and voted for someone else.. And yes.. that is an obligation that
    should be assumed when he takes office.. The margins of victory that Bush
    claimed when he assumed that office is marginal and only reflect the closely
    divided voters of the U.S. that Karl Rove created..

    I have no intention of debating with any intention of changing your mind
    about anything.. Bush supporters don't do that until their own ox is being
    gored.. Then .. they come a'crying..

    To address the issue of what many Americans have done to "earn the right" to
    be Americans.. They've SERVED when needed.. They've lived up to their
    responsibilities to defend and honor their obligations as citizens, which is
    more than George Bush and most of his administration have done.. Nowhere in
    the oath of office of the president is there a mention of serving for the
    benefit of party or corporation.. The agendas of Karl Rove and George Bush
    are clear.. Corporate and party influence is their primary objectives..
    Corruption, deception and destruction of democracy as we know it, are the
    means which they have employed to achieve the power of control..

    Half of Americans opposed George Bush at the polls .. There is more than
    that, now.. Americans have, at last.. begun to realize what this man is all
    about.. They don't approve.. History will record that George Bush is the
    most corrupt and dishonest president to ever hold that office in this
    country..

    That is false, even in Than Franthithco.

    You should learn your history, "under God" was added in 1956 and wasn't
    part of the original Pledge.

    You should read this to see how wrong you are.

    Are we discussing what the Pledge IS, or what it WAS?

    The pledge was changed for political reasons, the pledge, as ORIGINALLY

    Pledge. What is currently recited, is not the Pledge, but a

    Thanks to McCarthy, we had that added, as well as "In God We Trust" added
    to our money. E Pluribus Unum.

    "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense,
    founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of
    enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as
    the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility
    against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no
    pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption
    of the harmony existing between the two countries." --
    Treaty of Tripoli, Artile 11

    LOL! Here you take a personal letter as Holy Writ that transcends the
    volumes of public documents, speeches and legislation which confirms the
    Christian origins while you deliberately ignore the Declaration of
    Independance which points to Providence, a document signed by the vast
    majority as firm believers.

    The Treaty of Tripoli is NOT a personal letter. You need to learn your
    history. The Declaration of Independance is not the laws that the
    United States is based on, it is nothing more than a letter to Britain,
    and it's state forced church, that we wanted nothing more to do with
    them. Not once is God mentioned in the Constitution. You people REALLY
    need to learn your history.

    You are free to object to the wording; that is your right and

    However, that does not change what is, and what is not, the Pledge of

    'Scuse me, Skippy, but when you're referring to the law, "USC" means

    I apologize for violating the double standard provisions of reeky.

    It was my mistake to assume that Libs had the attention span sufficient

    "University of South Carolina" never was in anyone's posts until now) and
    think United States Constitution. Perhaps because the United States

    Since YOU are now establishing the publishing standards, it would seem that

    I guess that makes any police action of any sort instigated by a government

    Police shouldn't go afer criminals either since if a cop dies in trying to
    apprehend a perp, then the mayor, governor and city managers are certainly
    guilty of "war crimes".

    I guess that FDR was a mass murderer for sending "soldiers" to die or become

    Just for grins, I would love to see some of this hate speech of yours
    against Clinton during the Waco siege, or the military action in Kosova

    the -all-so-important- "exit strategy"😉 Didn't Clinton order the high

    nailed the Chinese embassy with one of those high-tech missles.

    I forget, exactly what harm was the people/government of Kosova promising
    against the US - or for that matter any of our NATO friends? Using the
    20/20 hindsight machine, it appears that the winners in that deal was Muslim
    drug lords, the loser was the environment (The Danube river makes a

    must rely on the Legislative Branch to authorize that alleged $200 billion

    Actually I would be rejoicing if that were the case. Unfortunately, George
    Bush appears to not think of himself as President of the United States as
    much as he considers himself to be Leader Of The Free World.

    Once one applies that template to his actions since his inauguration,
    everything makes sense.

    Immigration? Why is it that 'W' will do anything for foreigners at the
    expense of US citizens?
    Why will 'W' literally spend billions of US tax dollars to cure AIDS in
    Cambodian prostitutes?
    Why does 'W' keep pouring billions of US tax dollars into UN relief and IMF?
    Why does 'W' enact socialist legislation and programs then turn around and
    call himself "conservative"?
    Why does 'W' surround himself with globalists and neo-cons who feel that the
    definition of "super-power" includes converting the planet into democracies
    by any means necessary - up to and including bankrupting the US treasury and
    depleting our military?
    Why does 'W' try to convince everybody that he is a devout Christian only to
    turn around and show much greater reverence to the Q'ran and Islam?

    Apply the template - it all makes sense.

    WRONG.. George Bush represents ALL Americans.

    Actually the president doesn't "represent" anyone except the Party's
    platform and agenda. If you want representation, you have your Congress
    critters to accomplish that mission. That is why you have direct
    elections of representatives and have pledged delegates elect your
    president. There is a reason why the Electoral College exists, and not
    just yet another vehicle of [censored] and moaning for those who eschew
    constitutional republics.

    with him and voted for someone else.. And yes.. that is an obligation that

    Well that should be easy to dismiss right now. Slightly more than half of
    the voting republic are opposed to abortion on demand. This statistic was
    also true during Clinton's regime. So Clinton should have advocated the
    Pro-Life way of things, right? Of course not. Clinton catered to the
    people who put him in office. According to you, Bush is supposed to be
    eternally conflicted between honoring abortionists and honoring pro-lifers.
    Dittos for the immigration issue. two-thirds of the voting republic want
    immigration put under control. Yet the president seems to have a deaf ear
    towards the shouts of his constituents. That is why I call my
    representative in Congress rather than waste time dialing the White House
    Opinion Line.

    . The margins of victory that Bush claimed when he assumed that office is

    Three million voters is considered "marginal" and "closely divided" ?
