		<description>OMG - firehead,

You really believe in the &quot;fight &#039;em over there so we don&#039;t have to fight &#039;em over here&#039; as somthing approaching reality.  WOW!  

Let&#039;s see, I wonder why that does not seem to work for folks in London or Madrid.  I wonder why you are 100% CERTAIN that in the tens of thousands, really the millions, of folks crossing our southern border illegally you are 100% CERTAIN not a single one is a terrorist.  NOT ONE!  Oh i know why, because President Monkey Brains, the Baby Banana in Chief, told you it&#039;s impossible.  And no terrorist on the face of the planet can get a legitimate visa to come here, well, not since those 19 guys in those plans did just that.  Of course not.  When the Preznit says it can&#039;t be then lo and behold, it can&#039;t be.  

I believe in Saudi Arabia, you know where those other 19 guys came from, since Baby Buch is such a manly, hand holding, lip locking, fan of Saudi royality, didn&#039;t they get the okay to return to using that express visa system where you pretty much just show up, grab a passport, and get on a flight to the US.  Surely no Saudi would ever enter this country AGAIN with such terrorist ideas in his or her head.

I&#039;m glad you mentioned FDR, see when Japan bombed us he attacked Japan.  Imagine that, actually going after the folks who attacked you.  He could have invaded Canada or Mexico, but thankfully he choose to hit those who had attacked us.  Do you know who Osama Bin Laden is?  Perhaps you can pass this on to the Commander in Chief beacuse he has no idea.</description>

		<description>rabidly put, Raymond, and I agree in principal....
 I don&#039;t want it to be up to me as to what their punishment should be, thankfully we have KARMA to take care of that.
 Now that we posters are becoming a force to be reckoned with, (even get mentioned as a source on MSNBC!), I&#039;m asking us all not to &lt;em&gt;threaten&lt;/em&gt; anyone, not even the trolls. 
 If we threaten others, then we become terrorists...
 We are the &lt;em&gt;true warriors &lt;/em&gt;in the war on terror.
 After all, it truly is violence, retribution, domination and exploitation that we seek to eliminate from our culture.</description>

		<description>firehead: &quot;The Constitution says the Executive branch is the most powerful.&quot;

Where does it say that? In fact, Congress is Article One because the founders wanted to be specific that it was the most important branch. It&#039;s a &quot;Representative republic&quot; and our reps are there.

Firehead: &quot;Youâ€™re lucky Bush has not dissolved the Senate and ruled by decree. Keep in mind the military would back him if he did.&quot;

Go to the library and check out &quot;Seven Days in May.&quot; Members of the military take an oath to protect the constitution, not the leader.

&quot;You liberals did not complain about checks and balances when FDR increased his power.&quot;

First, nobody here was alive when FDR increased his  power. Secondly, you&#039;re just flat out wrong. There were quite a few liberals who complained about executive power during the 30&#039;s.

Firehead, calm down. I can see that you have no faith in our system. That&#039;s obvious. I can see that you&#039;re part of the &quot;blame America&quot; crowd. But, just exactly how does &quot;al Qeada take over?&quot;</description>

&lt;em&gt;Youâ€™re lucky Bush has not dissolved the Senate and ruled by decree. Keep in mind the military would back him if he did. And all you traitors would be locked away for life. I would love it if that happened. That way, we could actually win the Global War on Terror.&lt;/em&gt;

Oh my god, did he really say that? That is so cute!</description>

&lt;em&gt;donâ€™t scold me about the Constitution. You liberals did not complain about checks and balances when FDR increased his power. And a President should increase his power during a time of war.&lt;/em&gt;

Not when the president creates the phony rationale for the war and then starts it. In WWII, we were literally defending ourselves. But, Bush declared he had the right to pre-emptively attack sovereign nations and then he went ahead and did just that, without actually having anything to pre-empt. What we have here is a tyrant. And he needs to be removed.</description>
