		<description>This last diatribe is really stupid, and off-subject.  Comparing Democratic and Republican politicians is like comparing apples to apples.

		<description>#4 - &quot;Key component of fascism is ideology before Nation. Party before safety.&quot;

if I didn&#039;t know you were talking about Republicans with your &quot;original&quot; fascist comment, I would have sworn you were discussing lefty Dems. They oppose EVERYTHING the President does to secure the nation - &lt;em&gt;just&lt;/em&gt; to be contrarian.  I think they sealed the deal on being labelled weak on national security when they became apoplectic over NSA wiretaps of foriegn terrorist conversations and the tightening of the terror financial  pipeline.  Insisting Guantanamo detainees have Constitutional rights was the last straw of absurd.  Excusing Saddam&#039;s payments to Palestinian suicide bombers is par for the Dem course.</description>

		<description>Dr. Condoleezza Rice: magnificently accomplished and educated woman; brilliant scholar; concert pianist; gracious lady; presidential confident and trusted advisor; dedicated public servant; political giant and National Security Advisor to The President of the United States of America. And now, Secretary of State of the most powerful country on the planet. The first African-American female Secretary of State in our history.

Why would such an accomplished American woman be so savagely and viciously trashed and dishonored by the liberal elites and the left-wing Democratic Party? Not only trashed, but insulted, bad-mouthed, ridiculed and humiliated.What does a girl have to do to win the accolades and approval of these people?

Condi Rice has garnered the scorn of her Democratic colleagues, not because of what she has accomplished, but because of who and what she is. She is a black American, who is guilty of an unspeakable crime in liberal eyes.Her crime? She does not worship at the altar of the Democratic Party. Condi Rice has committed the unpardonable sin.She has dared to carve out her own political path while black. 

And so has any black American sinned who dares to look the Democratic Party in their face and say, â€œYou are wrong. I donâ€™t need you.I donâ€™t want you.I can do better than youâ€. And so she has.

The Democrats haughtily assume they own black America and their votes.They ridicule and belittle any black who dares to wander off their liberal â€œplantationâ€. 

They think any black American who seeks a life free of Democratic ownership, is stupid, ignorant, uneducated and misinformed. Condi Rice, in particular, has been labeled a bald-faced liar, a puppet, a sycophant, and a mindless, thoughtless, robotic, brainwashed slave of George W. Bush. In their eyes, any black who dares to snub the Democrats is a traitor.

Countless cartoons and articles have insulted and offended her and her blackness in ways we have not seen since the pre-Civil War south.

Condi Rice dared to tell the Democratic owners that she believes the conservative mindset is her home. She dares to be a black Republican. And so they savaged her.

The liberal elites cry foul! She is black and not allowed to be a conservative! She is beholden to them, and only them, for the freedom she has attained. They own her and she has not paid them back for the favors they bestowed upon her and her people. Not only is she uppity, she is ungrateful!

The Democratic Party is the party of Sen. Robert Byrd, a former Grand Dragon in the Ku Klux Klan. This pitiful excuse for a human being still throws the â€œNâ€ word around like it is butter, and is never corrected by his liberal cronies. This sad, pathetic man has the blind hubris to say Condi Rice is not fit to serve, when he himself is not fit, nor shall he ever be fit, to walk the hallowed halls of Congress.

Bulletin to Democratic liberals: Condi Rice owes you nothing. Clarence Thomas, who your leader, the disgraceful Harry Reid, called â€œan embarrassment to the courtâ€, owes you nothing.You donâ€™t own them anymore.They are not beholden to you for anything.Stings, doesnâ€™t it? 

But isnâ€™t that the country youâ€™ve always preached about? At least until someone dares to leave your plantation. Then you turn back the clock and call them lying buffoons who donâ€™t have enough sense to hold high office; too stupid to see that George Bush is a war mongering fraud.

And this same fraud just happens to be bringing freedom to a tyrannized people and is changing the face of the planet we live on; something you people have never even thought about doing and wouldnâ€™t have the courage of conviction or the stomach to do it anyway.

And not one of you, not Robert Byrd, not Barbara Boxer, not Ted Kennedy and not Harry Reid is fit to tie Dr. Condoleezza Riceâ€™s shoelaces.

Get over yourselves. The slaves have been freed. Get used to it. And in case you hadnâ€™t noticed, they were freed by a Republican. His name was Abraham Lincoln.</description>

		<description>Spudge_Boy,
Some how, my first post on the source code matter vanished into the TP bit bucket. Source code can be written in assembler, compiler or machine language. The stuff that exists on your hard drive or ROM exists as machine language. There are tools that convert machine language to assembler. These tools do not convert machine language into source because there is no method that will span the different compilers.
I have actually written some interrupt vectors that will not yield to the disassembly tools because they exploit certain quirks in the Intel architecture.</description>

Yeah, I&#039;m sure that the attack and invasion of the village of Es Samu in Jordan (filled with civilians) just 6 months before the 6 day war was seen as &#039;casus belli&#039; by the Jordanians.

In fact the military minds of the day said this attack was so out of context and inflammatory that it would (and did) cause the Arab world to respond.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Two days later in a memo to President Johnson his Special Assistant Walt Rostow wrote &quot;retaliation is not the point in this case. This 3000-man raid with tanks and planes was out of all proportion to the provocation and was aimed at the wrong target&quot; and went on to describe the damage done to U.S. and Israeli interests: &quot;They&#039;ve wrecked a good system of tacit cooperation between Hussein and the Israelis... They&#039;ve undercut Hussein. We&#039;ve spent $500 million to shore him up as a stabilizing factor on Israel&#039;s longest border and vis-Ã -vis Syria and Iraq. Israel&#039;s attack increases the pressure on him to counterattack not only from the more radical Arab governments and from the Palestinians in Jordan but also from the Army, which is his main source of support and may now press for a chance to recoup its Sunday losses... They&#039;ve set back progress toward a long term accommodation with the Arabs... They may have persuaded the Syrians, who are the main troublemakers, that Israel didn&#039;t dare attack Soviet-protected Syria but could attack US-backed Jordan with impunity.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The Mighty Aphrodite c*nt is typical of the right wingnut apologists of all religious/cultural foundations.  Whether they be zionists or islamists, the &#039;is&#039;ists&#039; always say it&#039;s the other guys fault, and avoid any culpability in the situation.

Sorry Mighty Aphrodite, but the response of Egypt and Jordan came from Israel invading their territories with an army first in 1966.

But I wouldn&#039;t expect you to know, comprehend or process that.  You&#039;d have to eat something first before your brain would have enough glucose.  Your daily diet of a tic-tac just isn&#039;t enough.</description>

Your daily diet of a tic-tac just isn&#8217;t enough.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=1844880', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt; Israel deemed it a casus belli for pre-emptively attacking Egypt on June 5. Comment by valiant venus â€” February 21, 2007 @ 6:34 pm&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So would you consider Kuwait stealing the oil resources right from under Iraq casus belli to protect a commercial interest?

You really should stop pretending to be an attorney, we all know you&#039;re a single, lonely, b*thcy 23 year old Anorexic commodities trader Aphrodite.  You&#039;ve been caught.

You wouldn&#039;t know a casus belli from a marvin belli.</description>

		<description>Jane the ignorant slut thinks it&#039;s funny that her NeoNazi friends lied to Dems and got them to support the war.  And that Dems are somehow &#039;spineless&#039; because they were lied to.

Yet she doesn&#039;t find those that lied &#039;spineless&#039;.

Does this show moral character, or just low blood sugar from a confused 23 old single girl with a big mouth that never eats any food?</description>

Ironic that Jews and Poles didn&#039;t think this defense was sufficient for Hitler. How times change, when right wingnuts get in charge.  Even in Israel.</description>

		<description>&quot;Did you get any sense as to why the Irsaelis canâ€™t or wonâ€™t abide by the borders agreed to in â€˜67?&quot;

&lt;strong&gt;Here Tom - hope this helps:&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;em&gt;On the political field, tensions once again arose between Israel and her neighbors in May 1967. Syria, Jordan, and Egypt had been hinting at war [18] and Egypt expelled UN Peacekeeping Forces from the Gaza Strip. When Egypt violated prior treaties and closed the strategic Straits of Tiran to Israeli vessels, and began massing large amounts of tanks and aircraft on Israel&#039;s borders, Israel deemed it a casus belli for pre-emptively attacking Egypt on June 5. In the ensuing Six-Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbors, Israel defeated the armies of three large Arab states and won a decisive victory over their air forces. Territorially, Israel conquered the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Sinai Peninsula, and Golan Heights. &lt;/em&gt;....&lt;em&gt;On October 6, 1973, the day in 1973 of the Jewish Yom Kippur fast, the Egyptian and Syrian armies launched a surprise attack against Israel. Despite early successes against an unprepared Israeli army, Egypt and Syria were eventually repelled by the Israeli forces.&lt;/em&gt;

That pretty much sums it up.</description>

		<description>Valiant Venus, I almost forgot my favorite example of spineless.  McCain.

Senator McCain: Falwell is an agent of intolerance.
Candidate McCain: Kissy Kissy my buddy Falwell.

Come on Mighty Aphrodite, you hypocrites thrive on criticizing others for your own failures and weaknesses.  It&#039;s why you&#039;re the butt of every joke comedians can throw out.  Because the world knows you&#039;re hypocritical, delusional fools with low self esteem that posture to avoid showing your weaknesses.

See democrats grow out of that stage, usually at puberty.  Maybe if you ate a better diet, you&#039;d finally reach puberty and understand this whole thing better, Mizz Tic-Tac.</description>
