What a sad world this cartoon boy must live in, dwelling on the failures of the party that is out of power.

His message of “hope” for this day of Thanksgiving being one of animosity, bitterness and partisanship.

The President pardon two turkeys. One was send to a farm out west , the other, named Karl, was send back to Texas. I love the Dixie Chicks, and the State of Texas. I went to college in Abilene, Tx. I just bought their new album. Every democrat and progressive independent should buy one. It is the least that we can do for these courageous ladies.

Mike,

Once again you accurately depict the disarray of the Republicans and encapsulate the disregard in which they have held the electorate. The turkey may not survive the season as often as you have chosen to use it as emblematic of the Republican Party. With that association, you have so totally sullied the reputation of that noble bird that Diogenes will have roast beef for Thanksgiving dinner. Happy Thanksgiving to you Mike. Enjoy your turkey, if you can.

“I Voted For The War Before I Cut And Run From It” wrote on November 22, 2006 at 09:31 PM:

“What a sad world this cartoon boy must live in, dwelling on the failures of the party that is out of power…”

A Thanksgiving “Wake-Up Call” to “I Voted For The War Before I Cut And Run From It:”

Failures? FAILURES? Those were CRIMES, and Mike L. was kind enough not to try to show ALL of the NeoCon CRIMINALS. There wouldn’t have been enough space in his cartoon for all of them!

Now about your deceptive and distracting Alias: “I Voted For The War Before I Cut And Run From It.” It is now Thanksgiving “Education Time:”

You and the NeoCons whom you worship, like a sheep without a Shepherd, insist on calling what is happening in Iraq a “war,” even though it is a fact that NO war has been declared by Congress, the body to which the Constitution assigns that responsibility. (See Article I, Section 8, paragraph 11, of the Constitution of the United States - http://www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/constitution_transcript.html.)

For someone aligned with the NeoCons who bray on and on and on about “strict” construction of the Constitution, you are woefully uneducated about that which you pretend to “defend” by “strict” construction!

You whine about the party “out of power,” but you forget that the party defeated during the November 7, 2006, Congressional elections still has a president in the Executive Branch. He is not out of power; he is simply out of IDEAS. It is so bad, he has to have his Daddy send one of his old chums to give him some pseudo ideas so that he and his corrupt cronies can continue to fool folks like you.

Now for the “Message of Hope” this Thanksgiving Day, which you whined for in your diatribe:

I am praying in the Name of the Lord Jesus that He will bring more and more Peacemakers into our government, especially in 2008. That, for me, is the REAL hope of Thanksgiving 2006!

rushncap,

Everyone that matters already knows you were lying, but just for your feeble mind I said that the group in question said that one of their criteria for a “green” company was that their group insurance plan included transgender wellness.

Adding things such as this for every one of your employees when the tiniest fraction will ever need such a thing artificially drives up costs. There is no reason that a transgender wellness rider can’t be an option that only those that want it can opt to pay for.

You bastardized that quote and have repeatedly said that I said hiring gays or giving them the same basic health coverage everyone else had would drive up costs and thus I was opposed to the hiring of gays. Nothing could be further from the truth and if you were a tenth as smart as you think you are you would not have had to lie about my words to tell me why everyone in America should pay for transgender wellness.

If you don’t want to admit or lack the cognitive ability to realize what you did, that’s fine. As stated above, the people that matter know. Happy Thanksgiving to you anyway.

Former attorney general Janet Reno has taken the unusual step of openly criticizing the Bush administration’s anti-terrorism strategy — joining seven other former Justice Department officials in warning that the indefinite detention of U.S. terrorism suspects could become commonplace unless the courts intervene.

There is something to the Reno method that gives her some credibility here. If the terrorist in question is isolated like a little kid you just kidnap them at gunpoint in the middle of the night and ship them to a dictatorship. If it a group you just firebomb the place and burn the entire community to death, women and children be damned. Then you never have to worry about trivial things like detainment and prosecution.

rushncap,

Why don’t you stick to trying to put one of your own thoughts on the page, because you are woefully inept at honest interpretation.

If you notice the last three words in my 2:48 they are “detainment and prosecution” and they are clearly saying that Koresh should have been detained and prosecuted. To thinking people everywhere, which obviously doesn’t include you, that means that I think that if the government had a case against Koresh they should have arrested and prosecuted him, rather than murdering the entire community.

By rushncap

November 23, 2006 03:33 PM | Link to this

First of all, RW, they did try to arrest Koresh. The result was 4 dead federal agents. Hard to arrest someone who has brainwashed several dozens of people to expertly shoot automatic weapons from a fortified position. In Iraq they’d just call in an air strike, regardless of women or children.

Second of all the feds did not murder the community. The Branch Davidians burned down their own compound, taking their own lives. There is no serious dispute of that point.

The feds messed up. They could have done a better job negotiating, and maybe could have saved more lives. But with a homicidal, and suicidal, maniac on the other end there is only so much one can do. I guess starving them out would have been the easiest way to go.

By RW-(the original)

November 23, 2006 03:52 PM | Link to this

rushncap,

Thank you for finally expressing your own point of view rather than trying to lie about mine.

I tend to agree that once you placed them under siege you were never going to end the thing in a pretty way. They had opportunities to arrest Koresh in town before the misguided attempt by federal agents and without a siege they likely would have had the chance again.

People of your political persuasion tell us very often that Saddam Hussein posed no near term threat to us and thus no action against him was justified. Do you really think the Branch Davidians did present an imminent threat?

Janet Reno should have backed off and let them be while keeping Koresh under surveillance, but the politics of having shown weakness in Somalia was the determining factor.

By rushncap

November 23, 2006 04:03 PM | Link to this

They tried to arrest him without a fight. That did not work, he was warned. When they tried to come in and arrest him in his compound (mistake, in retrospect) the Davidians opened fire and killed 4 federal agents. At that point I find it very hard to believe anyone could possibly “back off”. You don’t back off of a person who killed 4 people (and wounded a few more) right in front of your eyes.

That being said, the feds learned from their mistakes. The Montana Freemen were taken without any deaths.

By RW-(the original)

November 23, 2006 04:19 PM | Link to this

The Montana Freemen situation was the longest siege in US history, so it doesn’t really sound like the Clinton/Reno justice department learned anything, just that the Freeman eventually decided to surrender. This was also after two of their leaders had been arrested while off the compound.

Of course, that’s from the official story. Perhaps you are really trying to tell us that the federal government really did firebomb the Branch Davidians and what they learned was not to do that anymore. Is that what you meant?

Some variation of this may double post, my apologies if it does.

It seems to be a lesson they carried forward to Bin Laden too. Just tell him they were watching and wait for him to surrender.

Do you honestly believe that the FBI didn’t know how to effect an arrest until Janet Reno “made a mistake” and learned from it? The whole thing was because Clinton and Reno decided to use the military in conjunction with the FBI and micro manage the whole thing.

Why didn’t they just let the FBI handle the whole thing from the start? It seems to be that Clinton just wanted to show he was tough and used the Branch Davidians as sacrificial lambs.

Are you ever going to get around to telling me why the Davidians presented an imminent threat to the United States?

Sept. 9, 1999 | Attorney General Janet Reno says she’s “very, very frustrated” over recent revelations that the FBI fired explosive devices at the Mount Carmel community outside of Waco, Texas, during the April 1993 siege. I know how Reno feels. I was one of only nine survivors of the Waco blaze — 74 men, women and children died — and I’ve devoted the last six years to understanding what happened there. Frustration is a mild word to describe my feelings about that quest.
