Weasel Bush has recently talked of something like ’strict constructionists’ in the requirements of a Supreme Court Justice but now he is stretching the Constitution to mean what it does not say.

He is doing a fine job of setting up the Bill of Rights to be the new Bill of Suggestions.

Soon to follow? More gun confiscations from legal owners like his administration did recently in New Orleans?

When the RNC outsources their posting jobs to India, I hope they don’t come here and cry the blues.

Saw the following on-line on ABC: “The president, and members of his staff including Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and White House Counsel Harriet Miers, reevaluate the spying every 45 days.” Now, let’s get this straight – isn’t this the same Harriet Miers the conservatives claimed wasn’t qualified to interpret the constitution?!

#343, If wally gets $.50 per post, he made a whopping $27.50 during his almost 7 hr. shift. Let’s hear it for the free market economy. $3.92 is a bit high by Rep. standards though… wally will be losing his job soon. #223 LMN, The constitution did NOT change after 9/11/01, sorry…(not). And once again, to Ryan Neat,re: #350, BRAVO!!!! you are amazing!!! It felt soooo good, reading that. THANK YOU!

Condi danced around Tim’s questions perfectly, she gave long speeches with no substance. She was good at this in front of the 911 commission and she continues to be getting better at avoiding any questions that may shed light how awful this Administration is in protecting us and up holding the Constitution at the same time. Just like asking a lier, Condi avoids the question with intentional arrogance as if she was saying to the public “what are you going to do about it”?

“What a fortunate thing for governments that people do not think.”- Adolf Hitler. History repeats itself; if we do not learn from it, we are condemned to repeat it. If we never learn, it will condemn us as a society. Impeach Bush and all the president’s men and woman.

And if you’re ever in the San Diego area, lightweight, I’d love to make you squeal. Typing that you were in ‘Nam (which is not spelled “man” by the way) is as easy as typing “George Bush is a man of integrity” -it doesn’t mean either are true. Where were you posted in ‘Nam? Who was your commanding officer? What outfit were you with? What engagements were you in? Can you name ANYONE who will back you up in this? Surely a great patriot like yourself had many comrades in arm willing to vouch for you. Post One.

Saying you were in the service and PROVING it are often two different things (ask Bush).

312 Worfeus, people who love America do not ever compare it to Saddam Husseinâ€™s Iraq, as you have been doing here.
Comment by wwallace

Saying that we are engaging in some of the same tactics as Saddam is not saying America is like Iraq. It’s comparing some of the tactics we are using like torture, rape, and other abuses that are right out of Saddams playbook and call a spade and spade. I guess the distinction is just too advanced for you to grasp.

I think it’s why they like to type one incomplete sentance drivel… 50 cents per post adds up faster that way :)

There are a couple who I think are gullible, and therefore believe that they can convert us. It’s funny to watch them try because they don’t understand that we don’t have blind faith in the system like they do. But I will give them credit for one thing – it makes me value other progressives a lot more. :)

I have to wonder about a person like wwallace. I have no interest in either reading the apologist drival that passes as coherent political thought on RW boards…and I certainly wouldn’t waste my time arguing with a board full of Beta-monkeys – like wwallace,IRI, and never was a liberal…so why do they spend so much of their time here? Do they think they’ll ever change our minds? Don’t they know how well they sell our politics for the dwindling nuetrals that are trying to get the truth, which we can all agree won’t be found in the Republican broadcast media? Or are they so starved for attention that any attention, even negative, is welcome? Or are they just anti-social?

Nah, I’m betting this is more paid for RNC media propaganda. I’m sure it’s nowhere in the range of $240K/year like Armstong Williams, or $1200/weekend like Gannon, but I’m thinking $.50/post is not bad for someone who’s resume consists of manufacturing burgers at Mickey D’s….

I always liked General Douglas MacArthur. He said a lot of things I have come to agree with.

“Our country is now geared to an arms economy bred of an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and an incessant propaganda of fear.”

Correct me if I’m wrong, but fifty years later and the propaganda is still the same.

And I have to add before I go, that had this hardheaded administration had military historians in charge who know something of what MacArthur and Patton did with their occupations of Japan and Germany, we would not have the mess in Iraq we have had these past two years.

Republicans don’t write history books, they alter them to fit the lie of the moment.

One of the great themes of Orwell’s 1984 was that war became a permanent state of existence (for the convenience of the rulers). Since we are always (and will be always) AT WAR, then all things become justified: Torture, Spying on Citizens, Rendition, the “Patriot” Act.

Or, perhaps you think that Condi and the Commander-in-Chief will let us know when the War on Terror is over and our civil liberties can be restored…..?

Well, WORFEUS, as a rightwing conservative dipshit myself, I must correct you in #336.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Republicans don’t, write history books, they RE-write them. I mean, shame on you for that.

Here is another quote you won’t be reading in future Republican history books:

“Death has a tendency to encourage a depressing view of war.”
——–Donald Rumsfeld
