Coming from a background that includes a Lutheran Mother, a Jewish Father, Methodists, Catholics, Christian Scientists and also after going to a fundamental Christian University in the South for 4 years, as well as finishing my education at a Semi Ivy league Midwest University– I think I have a fairly balanced and diverse image of the world– and the things that are going on in the far right and the far left.
It is VERY common for those in power to hold on to their viewpoint, and not let go–A sociological concept called “cognitive dissonance” runs rampant in these political arenas- ( for those who don’t know what this term means– it relates basically to”making the truth fit” your own ideas, so that you don’t have to abandon them, or experience extreme discomfort in the process)– This is the current Administration’s dilemna–
There becomes a point where “standing your ground/or sticking to your principles” becomes ONLY pure stubbornness;
And it gets all who participate in the “dillusion” into serious trouble.

bush and cheney have destroyed all integrity in government… that was the plan, and they have just about succeeded with their physcophants all around… anyone still supporting bush’s utterly failed policies is simply too partisan not to deceive himself…

Yes, Bruce, that counts. Except they still ARE, not were, the whiny kids. Whine about everything, they do, usually about something the democratics did, are, or believe… all the while it’s just part of their communication strategy as they perpetrate crimes on humanity. Just wrap yourself in a flag, carry around a bible declaring yourself the be-all-end-all of moral righteousness, and you can say whatever the helll you want. We know at least 28% of the population will believe you.

The Trouble With The Entire World Is A Guy Named Ron

Robert Weitzel, May 18th, 2007

“Just so you’ll know that what follows is scientifically possible, I will acquaint you with a 2003 study funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation and published in the American Psychological Association’s “Psychological Bulletin.”

The study found that conservatism can be explained as a set of beliefs and behaviors that result from a psyche controlled by fear, aggression, closed-minded dogmatism, and intolerance of ambiguity, compounded by mental rigidity and decreased cognitive complexity [dumbness].”

Seriously, I’m not making this up.”

Sounds right, just from observation. Shit, just read one of dimwit Patdick1’s posts. Any one will do. Care to respond, Kool-Aid drinker?

Saw one once which said conservatives were the whiny kids. Not sure if that counts.

Yellowbird- No, you’re not the only one, and what makes them think we don’t recognize their tomfoolery is their ownership of MSM, years of research into social engineering, and good-ol’ fashion hubris. And, quite possibly (definitely in some cases), a touch of sociopathy, which would explain the disassociation from reality.

Did anyone see the result of a scientific study which found that many conservatives suffered from a set of precise mental, spiritual, and moral problems/deficiencies? Or was it those qualities which caused them to be conservatives? I’ll go find the link, it was something I got from buzzflash, but I think it may have been unrelated to whatever the headline was. Might take a while… anyone know what I’m talking about?

Patrick, Acting tough and acting smart are two different things. Bush acts tough and ignorant, all that has gotten us is more and more terrorists. Clinton may not have acted tough enough for you, but you must remember, he had a hostile congress impeding his every move. A hostile conservative press pushing lurid irrelevance as relevant and sliding relevant stories to the back page as inconvenient trivia. Bush had one advantage Clinton did not have and that is a running start. Clinton had to start the whole intelligence gathering on ABL and AQ from scratch. Bush had the Clinton admins work to go off of. Heck when they finally invaded Afghanistan Bush used the Clinton admins plans which he so disdained previously. And you know what Bush and his administration still blew it because for them terrorism was not an important issue until September 11, 2001. And sadly it became more of a political tool for them than a problem to be solved.

#100 and yet they caught and imprisoned the guys who did it. Bush approach has killed a lot of people, but the guy in charge is where?

#105 the Clinton people had a plan to invade and overthrow the Taliban but did not exercise a major policy move during the time that administrations were switching. The Clinton admin gave everything they had to the Bushies who promptly ignored it and put it away till AFTER 911. Had Gore won the invasion of Afghanistan may have occurred in December 2000 rather than October 2001.

Oh Well keep cutting and pasting, keep those talking points flowing because they must help your psyche more than reality does. Reality is rather sobering and scary to the delusional mind.

re: Rep Randy Forbes R, VA, 4th District

He is a PERFECT EXAMPLE OF GRANDSTANDING.

The thugs have nothing to ask at the hearing, and they want to stuff the hearing with grandstanding to use up the precious time.

I wish the Chairman could gavel them down for not asking a question.

by the way: Forbes was disgusting.

“In one of the most troubling trends, U.S. officials said that Al Qaeda’s command base in Pakistan is increasingly being funded by cash coming out of Iraq, where the terrorist network’s operatives are raising substantial sums from donations to the anti-American insurgency as well as kidnappings of wealthy Iraqis and other criminal activity.”

Hey, cut-and-PAsTeRICKKK- at least have the dignity to place quotes around published material. Oh, right, dignity… that might be a foreign concept to you. Everything you write here, and your motives for doing so, show a distinct lack of it.

Sorry to all, I know better than to respond to this guy, but what the hell, had to get it off my chest.

As far as Goodling’s testimony, if she claims to have never talked to Rove or Miers about the firings, than she is obviously lying. How do these people sleep at night? I wonder what it’s like to have absolutely no conscience.

Does anyone know if there’s any power in a citizen petiton to force impeachments, or anything close to it? If our so-called Democratic leadership is going to keep caving in, playing nice, or otherwise continue perpetuating the status-quo, is there any other mechanism to force the issue? Ending the “war” in Iraq would be nice, too. What a freakin’ mess. Has BushCo done even one F#@ing thing right?

Has ABC or CBS reported on the Gonzo/Card hospital room incident yet? It’s not like that’s news or anything, the Chief of Staff and the future AG attempting to subvert the acting AG by accosting a seriously ill, extremely drugged-up Ashcroft sign off on a program which even the by-then Republican-influenced DOJ found illegal?

And why aren’t the Dems screaming about the obvious, easily provable Republican ELECTION FRAUD? Our Democracy has been hijacked; will someone in power please act like it, for Pete’s sake?!!!

1 ) Actually Carol Lam had the third highest rate of convictions of illegals of all the attorneys in the whole country, so for Gonzo and company to say it was because she didn’t prosecute enough immigration cases is a flat out lie.

2) Iglesias was gone for 45 days, because he is a reservist and was serving his country in a time of war. This is what they used to say he was “Absent”. In truth, it’s because he refused to open an investigation against Democrats before the election when Rep. Heather Wilson was in an extremely tight race.

And Monica Goodling either a) knew she wasn’t supposed to do what she did when hiring/firing these people, or 2) is such an idiot that she didn’t know, which proves that loyalty is valued above competence.

People commenting on this thread miss the point when it comes to responding to Patdick1, sorry, Patrick1. Patrick1 is paid to spew his drivel! He doesn’t care that people think he’s full of bullshit! He keeps repeating the tired talking points of the criminal bush white house, because he get’s paid to do it. So, let him rave on about how liberals, and Clinton are to blame for the country’s ills. His stupid comments do not deserve a response. Ignore this paid off whore!

It should be noted that GWB came into office 3 months after the bombing of the USS Cole. By that time, there was sufficient evidence to implicate Bin Laden and a plan of attack had been formulated which was provided to the incoming Bush administration. Bush, however, decided to NOT respond to the attack on the Cole but instead began to negotiate with the Taliban for a trans-Afghanistan oil pipeline. Damn that Clinton!

Good grief. I get soooooo very sick of delusional idiots like Patrick1 who unthinkingly and unblinkingly defend this corrupt and criminal adminstration!!!

If starting a war with lies and corrupting our justice system isn’t enough to impeach these bastards – then what IS?

Patrick1 – would it make you feel any better if Monica gave Bush a blow job? Huh. Maybe we could impeach him then.

C’mon, Monica – serve your president. PLEASE!

Patrick and his ilk (there really aren’t that many trolls, if you look around) obviously work at the White House for Cheney. That’s one of many reasons that Cheney won’t tell the American people who works there and what they do, despite the fact that we pay them and they work for us. Nobody, and I mean nobody, is stupid enough to behave like Patrick unless he’s being paid.

The EASIEST way to disarm trolls like Patrick1 are ignore their LIES,

and tell THEM the TRUTH:

Bush is a COXUCKER punk TRAITOR to the USA, who will BURN IN HELL FOR ETERNITY for his LIES and WAR CRIMES.

And that TRUTH pisses them off SO MUCH, that they’ll try to paste MORE LIES about Clinton.

Remember the TRUTH:

Bush is a TRAITOR coxucker PUNK and will BURN IN HELL with Jerry Falwell, his “great friend”, for ETERNITY!!

SIZZLE! TOAST! SINGE! BURN! FRY!

Patrick1 will be there, too…

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
