		<description>Yeah, why let little things like war ruin your day! Jeesh.

Liberals, being bleeding hearts, are just too damn sensitive! They actually let the death and the maiming of our troops bother them! Way too serious. Good laughs throughout the day puts every thing into perspective.  
 
Of course, looking at Kristol&#039;s picture, it&#039;s obvious that being heavily sedated really takes the edge off. Oxycontin to ease that existential angst.</description>

		<description>It is hard for Americans to be happy when we have soldiers dying from IEDs and roadside bombs. It is hard to be happy when our returning war heroes receive poor care for PTSD and traumatic brain injuries at Walter Reed. It is hard to be hopeful when our soldiers still don&#039;t have the equipment they need to fight like up-armored humvees and body armor. It is difficult to be happy when we have kids who will grow up without knowing who their fathers and mothers were because they were killed fighting a civil war between the Shiias and the Sunnis in Iraq. It is impossible to be happy when our soldiers are not given the necessary one year between deployments. Due to the war in Iraq we are less safe today than we were before 9-11. Kristol has no credibility left.</description>

		<description>&quot;Why arenâ€™t you proud to have Latin and Greek as the basis of our language? Why would you rather have some barbarian language?&quot;

Actually English is based on Celtic, Germanic and other barbarian languages. As well as Latin and gasp! French - the Normans (basically French Vikings) conquered England in 1066. Take a look at Old English (Beowolf) and Middle English (Canturbery Tales) and they sound very Germanic.</description>

		<description>Kristol is on something--either money or drugs. Has anyone looked into his finances? Follow the money would seem to be the logical strategy. Only 26% of the American people are that happy right now. 

Impeachment is the only answer. Otherwise he will be back under Romney or Thompson or Guiliani, if we donâ€™t change the landscape. Do you think your vote will be counted? Do you think Bush/Cheney will leave office? Do you think they wonâ€™t create â€œcatastrophic emergencies?â€ 

From the recently updated NSPD 51 issued by Bush in early May: â€œCatastrophic Emergencyâ€ means any incident, regardless of location that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage or destruction severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions;&quot; (in which he would take over all control of the government--this document calls it â€œEnduring Constitutional Governmentâ€) 

In other words, Bush can take over if he says so. Enough. Speaker Pelosi, we have no time left to protect our republic. What would Franklin say?</description>

		<description>It isn&#039;t that Kristol and Brooks (and Broder, and Goldberg, and Klein, and...) aren&#039;t fact-checked.  It isn&#039;t that.

It &lt;strong&gt;is&lt;/strong&gt; that anyone will print what they write, at all. They&#039;re liars. Period. They &lt;strong&gt;lie&lt;/strong&gt;.  

That used to mean something. People used to be criticized, called out, &lt;em&gt;not given a soapbox and ignored&lt;/em&gt; if they lied the way Kristol, Brooks, et al., do as a matter of course.

&lt;em&gt;Time&lt;/em&gt; will, of course, claim it&#039;s an &quot;op-ed&quot; piece, and therefore &quot;one person&#039;s opinion&quot;, so who gives a good Goddamn whether or not it&#039;s true? Not Time, certainly.

If that&#039;s the case -- (and it is; write a critical note to Time about Kristol&#039;s screed and that&#039;s the evasion you&#039;ll receive back) -- then, there&#039;s an occasionally verbally abusive schizophrenic I keep seeing in the Downtown of where I live.

He doesn&#039;t use any bad language, but &lt;em&gt;nothing he says makes one f-ing bit of sense&lt;/em&gt;, either. Why doesn&#039;t &lt;em&gt;Time&lt;/em&gt; publish his take on -- anything? Kristol makes even less sense than this fellow, but there you are.

It&#039;s a bit like &lt;em&gt;Time&lt;/em&gt;&#039;s cover girl from last year, Coulter -- a person who lies, constantly. To make a career of lying (as Kristol has) is to be lauded, lionized and applauded for being &quot;witty&quot; &quot;irreverent&quot; and &quot;controversial (read: Makes Money)&quot;.

Time is one more lying mouthpiece for people who, like Kristol, have something to hide -- in his case, it&#039;s that he&#039;s misspent his entire life, given that it&#039;s based on a delusional fantasy of how the world actually is.</description>
