  1. Frickin' Amazing, the new [censored] you learn every day.

    It's surprising that the guy he allegedly works for hasn't said anything about
    this. Two things: the vice prez is is the so-called "President of the Senate" so that
    would mean he falls under the rules of the Senate; alternately, if the OVP is, as
    they assert, a separate branch then the Congress could simply refuse to fund them (as
    Rahm Emanuel has suggested).

    What's funniest about this is that, after spending the entire Clinton era
    screaming about an administration that scorned the rule of law, we get an
    administration that wipes its ass on the rule of law and the Constitution and the
    people who were complaining about Clinton's "abuses" have nothing but excuses and
    rationalizations.

    And its fasinating to watch those who gave Clinton a pass, or support,
    now pissing and moaning about the other side of the aisle.

    But it's also reasonable, since the stuff Clinton did was either good
    for the country, or very minor things that he did wrong. To even make
    comparisons between, say, the Monica Lewinsky Scandal and the levels
    of deceit currently happening in the White House and US Justice
    Department is ludicris.

    A voice of reason?! You sure you've got the right newsgroup,

    I have enough righteous indignation to go around and see no reason to
    limit it based or race, creed, political affiliation or for starting a
    war under false pretenses that sucks down our money like it's going
    out of style and makes us look like [censored] that didn't learn a

    Son...wake up and smell the country. While Clinton wasnt the
    worst...Carter, Polk, Coolidge Bucannan, ..er...there were worse...but
    your claim that Clinton was "good" for the country....blink

    Yup. When Bush's high crimes and misdemeaners rise to that of
    Clinton..the Right will be [censored]. In fact..the Right is already
    [censored] about Bush. Has been since we elected that moderate SOB. A
    whole bunch of conservatives have been complaining about Bush since he
    accomplished exactly what he promised when he ran for office. But
    considering there were no other viable choices....we got what we voted
    for. Least its not still called the Whitehouse, rather than Kremlin West
    as it would be if any of the Dems had won.

    Won in Vietnam? Oh, right. I'd forgotten that the objective was to
    have North Vietnam take over the south, and have the Communist party
    make Socialist reforms. Not sure how I could have missed that.

    I guess in your mind Vietnam is a more successful version of how the
    Korean war was won.

    Right. We still have stupid people getting us into stupid wars,
    spending hundreds of billions on something we can't "win" without
    nuking an entire region, and the same stupid people wishing for the
    good old days.

    It's not about Democrat vs. Republican, nor liberal vs. conservative.
    It's about stupid vs. pragmatic. You've made it quite clear which
    camp you're in.

    I'd thought that your handle "gunner" was some reference to military

    Poor persuasive technique. Too grandiose, no attempt to support or
    justify. Comes off as simple name calling.

    Realize, I'm not asking you to support the claim, just pointing that it
    looks more like name calling than anything else. You might avoid doing
    this in the future, unless you just enjoy doing it.

    Actually Bush has. He'll never get in trouble for it and the reasons are
    interesting.

    Where Bush has broken the law and undermined the Constitution, he has
    generally had the support of the Senate and the House and the majority
    of the American people. A couple years later, when they've calmed down,
    they all point the finger at Bush. He's President and he did what he
    did, so it's fair I guess. But it's a bit problematic in that most of
    the people pointing their fingers NOW supported everything a few years
    ago. They can't take any action that involves assigning responsibility
    in a reasonable way without implicating themselves. So all they can do
    is whine and [censored] and hope that no one asks any difficult questions.

    Clinton, on the other hand, did what he did in a back room with only one
    other person involved. So he was fair game to receive the full load of
    whatever righteous indignation we felt like dumping on him. Far more
    satisfying, really.

    Where'd ya get your name, and what are you trying to tell us with it?
    The concept of Christian Commandos hadn't occured to me but it seemed
    to pop into your head pretty easily.

    Now that your bring it up, though, there's no question that the right
    wing fundies want to be in your bedroom. They spend an odd amount of
    time and effort worrying about what goes on in other people's. It's

    Tovarisch,

    I thought the Democrats were for signing away the
    national security to Al Qaeda and putting the nation
    under Sharia law. Now you tell me that we're
    planning to give the country to Putin and the Kremlin
    and institute KGB surveillance of all right-thinking
    Americans? That's very secularist, it's a complete
    reversion to our Democratic platform during the
    Cold War.

    I mean, I'm still 100% behind giving the country away
    to our enemies, but which enemies? I have to make
    plans, you know. Jeez, I wish Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel
    would keep the >50% of Americans who support treason
    at the highest levels of government better informed.

    Das vidanya,
    Ben
