Mike,

After sullying the reputation of the turkey for the past two weeks by repeated comparisons to the Republicans, you now intend to besmirch Santa’s reputation by comparing him to the numerous problems created by the long regime of the Republicans? Oh, Mike. Be a little more original, please. Today I forgive you the lack of originality because I know your stomach is full of roast beef (who can face another turkey yesterday after the job you’d done on them?). Although not a terribly original idea, it does indeed describe the dynamics of the Bush War with indelicate accuracy.

Mike,

I have to agree with you. As incompetent as Bush was in listening to his neocon advisers, you have to wonder where they have all disappeared to. Last I heard, they were still saying that invading Iraq was a great idea, but the administration was FUBAR in carrying our the actual operation. Funny how reality is so often different from the grand schemes. Funny how the people responsible are turning on Bush and dumping all the blame on him.

It is a moral certainty supported by science, logic, and legal evidence, both photographic and eyewitness: the Bush administration committed 9-11. Lies of WMD compounded that treason to send us to false war on behalf of Roman Catholic “Big Oil” (The Bushes have fronted for Vatican-banker Rockefellers - who built Standard Oil on unredressed “murder and arson” - for four generations. Google “Prescott Thyssen Auschwitz”), the Maronite and Chaldean Roman Catholics of the Middle East, and, global Organized Crime heroin sales.

Bringing to justice these traitors:

who cheated Bush into office through electoral fraud and the illegal and unconstitutional votes of the Supreme Court’s Roman Catholic bloc in “Bush v. Gore;”

who placed and detonated the explosives which dropped the three WTC buildings and fired a missile into the Pentagon;

who invaded Afghanistan, reinvigorated heroin production there, and tried to give U.S. ports to heroin transhipper Dubai;

who fabricated false intelligence to sway Congress and the American People into tolerating and paying for the long-planned invasion of sovereign, non-threatening, oil-rich Iraq;

who distracted the Electorate with issues of gay marriage while their leadership consists primarily of hypocritical closeted homosexuals like George W. Bush, Ken Mehlman, Mark Foley, Ted Haggard, and possibly Karl Rove, whose father was an open practicing homosexual;

will be a start to “pull Santa out of the chimney.”

2900 of Our Armed Forces have died for this current lie. Our G.I.’s blood is too precious to be spent on further treason, and those who falsely sent them into harm’s way must be punished.

As we strengthen Our Nation through a return to righteousness and prosperity born of decency and justice a program of repair must be pursued for the evil committed by the Bush administration. Full expropriation of the families’ and institutions’ riches gained by this treason and the treason surrounding Bush’s father’s role in the Knight of Malta-led CIA’s assassination of John Kennedy, to keep us in Rome’s fiefdom of Vietnam, will go far toward paying for the compensation due those wronged.

“Dusty” If you really care about America, read “The New Pearl Harbor,” by PhD Emeritus Professor David Ray Griffin.

Bush is the “terrorist.” His administration committed 9-11 and Iraq is false war treason.

It is no coincidence that his father helped assassinate JFK, that his grandfather was Hitler’s banker, and that his family has fronted for the Vatican-banker Rockefellers, who built Standard Oil in unredressed “murder and arson,” for four generations.

The people that founded this country:

When they came to Delfs-Haven they found the ship and all things ready, and such of their friends as could not come with them followed after them, and sundry came from Amsterdam to see them shipt, and to take their leaves of them. One night was spent with little sleep with the most, but with friendly entertainment and Christian discourse, and other real expressions of true Christian love.

Merry Christmas!

1. Al Qaeda endorsed the Democrats’ victory. Of course we shouldn’t be thankful for the American voters casting ballots in a way that is met with approval from al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Hamza al-Muhajir (“They voted for something reasonable in the last elections,” he said), but this episode of Spanish elections redux (post-Madrid train bombings) gives cause to scream “Told you so!” over the gravy to every appeasement-loving lefty this Thanksgiving. It’s as simple as mashing potatoes: If al Qaeda hates George W. Bush with such vitriol (“the most stupid president,” said al-Muhajir), he must be doing something right. He’s scaring them. He’s keeping them on the run. He’s taking the fight to them. When al-Qaeda starts lashing out at Pelosi as their most bad enemy in the whole wide world, we’ll talk.

“At 8:49 you called it the Bush War. Remember?”

Indeed. It is the Bush War. I propose merely that Bush, after starting this conflagration, forgot the purpose. His dithering is confusing all of us. LTCMars in our conversation yesterday stated that the troops in Iraq think it is a war for the hearts and minds of the people and suggested that they were actually doing a good job in that regard. Also the death toll in Iraq yesterday was intolerable. Cheney is on his way to Saudi Arabia today. Yes, I think Bush lost the focus on terrorism and has taken on so many enemies, both real and imagined, that he has lost track of what he set out to do. I was hinting that you need to remind the eponymous namer of this war of his goals.

Well, well, look at this:

Democratic leaders in the House are floating plans to contribute billions of federal dollars to the individual 401(k) plans and similar accounts that corporate America has already made widely popular.

Democrats stealing Bush’s idea of investing your retirement plan in the stock market and making it their own. By changing the name of the “stock market” into “401k” and counting on the ignorance of the comedy channel liberals not knowing that the 401k is the stock market.

So what was the great big liberal hissy fit against the Bush plan all about last summer?

How many other things did you pinkos trump up just so you could bash Bush with them?

I do agree that Republican corruption was a serious factor in that leftward movement. Some pundits say one; some say the other. Take your pick. The blue ties won the majority. The overwhelming question is “are the rascals we elected any better than the rascals we showed the door?” That is yet to be seen. As for all your laudatory comments for our President, I caution you to be a little less effusive in his praise. He is the President until the next election.

“Gosh,” professional pundits and pseudo-journalists like Tim Russert and Katie Couric wonder, “how did American politics become so ‘polarized?”’ One assumes it is a sarcastic rhetorical question. The how and why of America’s polarization is after all, as obvious as it was intentional. Most absurd, however, is the way in which the Russerts, Blitzers, and Courics of the world tend to blame the so-called liberals for America’s polarized condition.

For the better part of twenty years blathering buffoons like Rush Limbaugh, mouth-frothing morons like Sean Hannity, bigots like Michael Savage, and liberal assassination supporting bit…ladies like Ann Coulter have been making it their business to ensure that the “Conservative Crusaders” understood who America’s real enemy was. Then along came FOX “News” and before the country knew what had hit, the entire Republican Party propaganda network — the people that started and declared the “culture war” — was busy telling the GOP faithful that the LIBERALS were waging a war against CONSERVATIVES … against “American values,” Christianity, and anybody that disagreed with “their secularist agenda.”

Midori lives in a parallel universe. Let’s parse her hilarious article.

More than thirty years ago, the Republican Party set out on a mission to divide the country. Early on they used race-based wedge issues to make inroads into the South.

How Orwellian. Here’s a sampling of the absurdidty of that statement -

A 92 year old woman is accidentally shot after she shoots at Atlanta police officers, and within 2.5 seconds the racist, anti-Semitic Nation of Islam show up to accuse them of racism - an amazing trick if you don’t even see what your assailant looks like. Who is making this a “wedge issue”?

The Progressives get discriminatory race-based affirmative programs put in place and we are told that WE use race as a “wedge issue”.

An organization forms and calls itself “The Congressional Black Caucus” and we are told that WE use race as a “wedge issue.”

Democrats run ads about James Byrd and claim that George Bush and Republicans don’t want to prosecute a crime that was prosecuted, and Conservatives are blamed for using race as a “wedge issue”.

Life-sentenced murderer Willie Horton goes on a furlough granted him thanks to the largesse of Michael Dukakis, brutally rapes a woman who could not have cared less about the race of her assailant, and Conservatives are called racists for using the furlough policy against Dukakis during his Presidential campaign. The race of the furloughed inmate becomes the issue, not the program that allowed his release and we are told that we use race as a “wedge issue”.

Black Panther Mumia Abu Jamal is found guilty of the murder of a policeman because of overwhelming evidence of his guilt. Progressives are still trying to free him, yet we’re told that WE use race as a “wedge-issue”.

I could write a multi-volumed book about all the occasions where Progressives used race as a wedge-issue.

Muffin, dear, you often get p-o’ed at people (like myself) who express dissent with El Presidente and our war in Iraq. You have said before that we should just shut the hell up and support him. This is not an exact quote. This is simply a statement of your overall bent on this board.

And you really should learn the meaning of the term “coverup”.

@@,

I think Orwell mostly got it right, but Big Brother is the Left not the Right.

The leftist elites, then as now, praised the book for the wrong reasons. They applauded Orwell’s resistance to the loss of civil liberties but refused, and continue to refuse, to see the book as a mirror held up to the totalitarian face of the left-wing intelligentsia.

{It} makes more sense to look to socialism rather than fascism as the butt of Orwell’s satire, especially after Animal Farm, his 1945 satire of socialist revolution.

This is an excellent op-ed about Liberal bloggers on the subject of Orwell:

While many liberals love to quote George Orwell’s great novel “1984,” when asked about “Animal Farm,” another novel written by Orwell, they fall silent, unable to see the parallels between themselves and rebellious farm animals that evict the farmer and take over the farm for themselves.

Many liberals declare that the only enemy America has today is Bush. In “Animal Farm” the old boar tells the other animals that “Man is the only real enemy we have.” If the animals could rid themselves of man, their lives would be perfect.

Read on. I think we all recognize “Jerry” right here, there, and everywhere in the moonbat blogosphere.

By rushncap November 23, 2006 02:55 PM | Link to this Because according to RW, if it’s a Christian terrorist (Koresh) he should be loved and coddled, if it’s an Muslim terrorist he should be burned along with his whole country or neighboring country, if that’s politically easier.

That was yesterday right after I had again confronted him about another bald faced lie he told the day before.

By rushncap November 22, 2006 06:15 PM By the way, what RW complained about in the very post you were referring to was that companies that have insurance policies for gay couples would “have artificially high prices”. This is a direct quote.

rushncap,

When someone posts something and you change the meaning to suit your needs and then claim the other person said it, you are lying.

Since you can’t recognize that, you have no credibility when you attempt to lecture on honesty and ethics. You are either the dumbest man on the planet or a particularly vicious liar and slanderer. I’ve had legitimate debates with you so even though you are a little slow, you don’t qualify as dumb enough to get away with this.

Therefore you are a vicious liar, but don’t take that as a hint to change anything. It warns everyone to take anything you claim as fact with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Rushncap thinks I don’t know the meaning of the word, “coverup”? The question is what he thinks it is. Something chicks wear to the beach over their bathingsuits?

RW,

Do you recall me ever saying that people who disagree with George Bush should STFU or anything even remotely like that?

I have repeatedly said that there are legitimate criticisms against the war that I may disagree with, but are intellectually honest and don’t have the destruction of the United States as its purpose.

The only person I have ever suggested STFU is Polly Prepuce - not for his opinions, but for his nonsensical has-been vaudevillian spamming.

Indeed, I encourage people like rushncap to keep talking so they can reveal themselves for all to see.

I have pointed out how Useful Idiots like rushncap inadvertently help Islamists secure power. I have suggested that there is a difference between “dissent” and “sedition”.

For all his self-acclaimed smarts, rushncap does not know the difference between the two.

He lies to us, and worse, he lies to himself.

Buy Danish,

That’s why I said the 3:38 was at the very least a gross misrepresentation of your position.

Speaking of truth and ethics, rushncap told us the other day he has students, since he claims to work in a wet lab, let’s say he teaches people in a wet lab. (Feel free to correct this rushcap) He has also told us that he charges people to tutor them.

If all of that is true it is certainly unethical to be a paid instructor and tutor for cash on the side. Of course after being “taught” by rushncap I have no doubt in my mind that these kids will need tutoring.

Well crap, is rushncap still holding out? You put forth scientific theory, but:

The scientific method prescribes a simple, clear, precise and logical procedure that all scientists (((have to follow and which constitutes its strength.))) But the success of the method is as much due to its approach as to the qualities that its practice demands and cultivates. The first of these qualities is sincerity of purpose: the scientist must sincerely want to find the truth. He should not have other motives (((like personal gain or fame))) that could lead him astray. The next quality is intellectual honesty. (((If the facts))) put forth contradict his theory, he must accept that his theory is unsatisfactory and go back to the drawing board.

rushncap, you’ve failed the test of a scientist. Your intellectual honesty is in question. Going back to the drawing board to parse words is a weak defense.

R.W. and Buy Danish have put the facts before you, and still you refuse to be intellectually honest.

Give me honesty any day of any week. Without it, a persons intelligence must be called into question.

To whom it may concern,

I tested my theory by randomly searching the AJC web site and on my first attempt I found rushncap lying about the nature of Billy Jeff’s impeachment. Oddly he got his information from Chris Rock and when I confronted him on the wisdom of relying on Chris Rock for historical information, he defended it.

Oh, and yes, I do get some information from Chris Rock. He’s the pre-eminent comedian of our times (along with Jon Stewart). Better than Hannity and Rush, that’s for sure.

I like the cute obfuscation about Chris Rock being a great comic. I agree with that and I never said a word about his comic credentials, but that’s our lying little ethics professor.
