Ummm, two $400 haircuts.
And to tell you the truth, I believe you candy as-s liberals are making a bigger deal of it than we did.
It’s not against the law to point out that this bozo, who campaigns on a platform that there are “two America’s,” is a vain, self important hypocrite that can’t just comb his hair back and move on.
I sure wouldn’t want to have a president who let’s his inflated ego be a huge part of his economic decisions.
And has a little bit more business sense then to pay $400 for a haircut.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ®.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media paid little attention to Harry Reid’s comments quoted above. Republican criticisms of them were treated as the normal t**-for-tat of partisan politics. Reid’s cynicism wasn’t thought noteworthy, and his defeatism wasn’t thought extraordinary. Apparently, cynicism in the service of the defeat of Republicans is no vice. Undercutting the efforts of American troops you have voted to send to fight in a war is a virtue.
Cowards.

Neither is it earth-shaking news that any Presidential candidate, whether he’s for OR against the poor, is going to be rich. Because that’s how our corrupt system works.
But wingnuts will always jump on the opportunity to scream “hypocrisy!” at wealthy reformers to draw attention away from their own callous evil. It’s a simple tactic well suited to simple minds like the typical Bush drone. Kinda like “Gee, it’s cold today! Guess global warming’s a lie!”

I’d be willing to bet that there were barely more than 57% of the voters from 2004 even voting in 2006. Sounds like somebody is making up statistics the same way they make up someone else’s positions on various issues.
Actually RW, 57% is the exact percentage of Latinos that voted Republican in 00 and 04 that did not vote Republican in 06. And we all know why don’t we RW? Because republicans like you don’t include the darker skin tones in your view of America do you RW? Nice try at avoiding what is obviously an issue for the republicans. You just can’t alienate that percentage of voters and win close elections. Republicans like you RW are killing the party. So RW, when you and your compadres on the xenophobic right are standing around in your white socks crying in your Blue Ribbon beer after the 08 elections, remember that you only have yourselves to blame.

Nearly half of the $94 billion in emergency funding President Bush says Congress needs to immediately make available to continue to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan would actually be used to finance non-urgent items related to the so-called “longer war on terror.” The revelation once again casts further doubt on the president’s assertion that the Army will run out of funding this month for US troops fighting in those regions, according to a report issued by the nonpartisan research arm of Congress.

John Edwards can pay what he wants for his silly haircuts - as long as he pays for it himself. What I found objectionable about this is that he charged his campaign for the haircuts.
I wonder if his campaign donors realize that they were ponying up money to pay for his spa treatments and haircuts.
There are “two Americas” - one pays for their own grooming.
What an arrogant loser.
Mike the Moron,
I don’t know if RW is around today, but just in case he isn’t - that is a pathetic attempt to back up that 57% number you through out yesterday. You’ll have to do much better than that if you want to be taken seriously.
Now perhaps you could provide some data to support your assertion that “xenophobic” Republicans drink Blue Ribbon.

Little Joe, as he’s affectionately known, charges $175 for a haircut now. In his shop. When your crazy schedule dictates that he must come to you to cut your hair, his charge is based (he, too, friends, supports a family, helps his extended family and runs a business) on his time out of the shop when he could be attending other heads. Thus, $400 for that particular Edwards’ job.
See, a real reporter actually talked to the barber.

Halberstam told journalists during a conference last year in Tennessee that government criticism of news reporters in Iraq reminded him of the way he was treated while covering the war in Vietnam.
“The crueler the war gets, the crueler the attacks get on anybody who doesn’t salute or play the game,” he said. “And then one day, the people who are doing the attacking look around and they’ve used up their credibility.”

Mike,
Since you are too inept to support your silly claims with data, as a compassionate conservative I’ve volunteered my efforts to help you out.
Here is the REAL data on Hispanic and White voting in the 2006 election:
Now, a drop of 8 to 10 percentage points among Latinos seems pretty bad at first glance. But much worse for the GOP was only carrying 51 percent of the white vote versus 58 percent in 2002 and 57 percent in 2004. Whites account for about four out of every five votes. That’s what killed the Republicans.//Historically, the Hispanic vote moves up and down along with the white vote, just skewed about 20 points or so towards the Democrats. Latinos are not the “swing voters” of media legend. They are more accurately “flow” voters who go with the general flow.//So, relative to the bellwether white vote, the GOP did merely one percentage point worse among Hispanics versus the last midterm and four percentage points worse than in the last Presidential election.

Looks like Alberto “I don’t recall” Gonzalez will live another day… or week… as AG. But the writing’s on the wall. Firm up that resume,Al!
We wonder, though, if his continued presence hasn’t become an exercise in humiliation for Republicans in Congress. How many Republican senators and House members have to say they’ve lost confidence in the attorney general before the White House gives them the time of day?
John Edwards’ haircuts?? Who cares. A non story before May. He’s a lightweight, but don’t count him out. Democrats aren’t the smartest bricks in the wall. Smarter than BushCo, but that’s not saying much.
Meanwhile, the waste of American lives (and money) in Iraq continues.
A suicide bomber rammed an explosives-rigged truck into a U.S. military outpost near Baqubah on Monday, killing nine soldiers and wounding 20 in one of the deadliest single ground attacks on U.S. forces since the start of the war in Iraq, military officials said early Tuesday.
Yessir, keep pouring money down the Iraq rathole, while the REAL terrorists, from Morocco to China, (including Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan) dream up something to make 9/11 look like a fireworks show.

You Bush supporters need to ask yourself — “why are we calling ‘liberals’ surrender monkeys and worse, just for being upset the fact that the war in Iraq has now lasted longer than World War Two.
Why blast people for taking issue with that?
If you read “Cobra II” by Trainor and Gordon, you’ll see that the DOD plan was to draw down US forces to 30,000 by the end of 2003.
Why would you take such strong issue with other Americans who are not satisfied with failure? We want success.
Apparently, Bush supporters are happy with failure.
Secondly, our government is built on compromise. It is the genius of our form of government and it always has been.
It failed us specatacularly in 1860. We know the outcome of that.
-Americans- don’t blast their political opponents just for disagreeing, because he have to move forward together.

Because it is dead easy for them to do it.
Again - if you compare what we have to spend to generate a 10 man foot patrol in Anbar and how much it costs the locals to blow us up — we just can’t afford it.

Hello Buy Danish the cheap trick streetwalker, I am sure that if you really wanted validation of the 57% you could find it. It was well publicized in a demographic breakdown after the elections. Why do you think Bush is so steadfast with his immigration package. He knows that the republican party cannot afford the defection of Latino voters to the other side.

Mike the Moron,
Since you aren’t up to the task, here is data that completely debunks you claim that Republicans are Pabst Blue Ribbon drinkers:
On a recent Saturday evening, about a hundred serious bicyclists, most of them young men, many tattooed and pierced and at least one wearing striped tights and a floral thrift-shop dress, arrived en masse at Alberta Park in northeast Portland, Ore. They gathered near a fenced-off hard-top court and, in teams of three, began a ”bike polo” tournament. Almost all were bike messengers, about a third of them local (others from Seattle, San Francisco and elsewhere), and they lived up to the image of couriers as marginal, testosterone-charged troublemakers. They drank beer, smoked cigarettes and other things and yelled profane insults at each other.//Also, they had a corporate sponsor. What appeared to be a party in the park was part of the West Side Invite, prizes for which were underwritten by a $1,750 contribution from the Pabst Brewing Company. Virtually no banners or signs announced this, and no one from Pabst showed up to glad-hand the bikers. //Pabst Blue Ribbon — P.B.R., as fans call it — is currently enjoying a highly unlikely comeback. In 2002, sales of the beer, which had been sinking steadily since the 1970’s, actually rose 5.3 percent. From the start of 2003 through April 20, supermarket beer sales are up another 9.4 percent. It is endorsed in ”The Hipster Handbook,” a paperback dissection of cool, and is popping up in trendy bars from the Mission District to the Lower East Side. Sales in Chicago are up 134 percent. But the growth started and is most pronounced in Portland — a city best known in the cosmology of beer as a haven for fancy microbrews — where most agree that bike messengers have been in the P.B.R. vanguard. The lowbrow brew has risen to the No. 5-ranked beer in town and is still the fastest-growing of the top-50 domestic beer brands.
Bwahahahahahahaha.

Thomas/PNAC:
Just saw your 10:54. I’ve always been led to believe by the “radical Islamists” that Palestinians were the cause for which they fight.
That’s why I found this article rather contradictory.
“Two girls from our community were raped last week by militants who told them that it was a message to the Palestinians in Anbar to leave the area,” Raki added. “I have to leave before my two daughters meet the same fate.”

I totally agree with Dump. You’d have to be smart enough to have a job to understand what:
“Muslims believe US goal to weaken Islam, poll finds”
really means. To the rest of us unemployable idiot wingers its just says ‘poll’ and we assume that it means Americans b/c who else counts right? I think @@ was assuming that we’d be able to read all the words and do so in order. Well known lib conspiratorial method of misinformation.
Now if it had said:
“Duh, people who is Muslims, tink dat, duh… America is.. duh.. bad or something…duh”
Then it would make perfect sense to Dump and me.

It’s time for the Far Right to start foaming at the mouth again. Michael Moore is coming out with another blockbuster this summer. The Right still hasn’t forgiven him for Fahrenheit 911 and Bowling For Columbine. Now they’ll have to gear up for another mass hissyfit.
Most wingnuts probably aren’t aware of this (or didn’t grasp it), but in Bowling For Columbine, Moore concludes that guns are NOT the root of America’s crime and violence. He decides this after interviewing some Canadians and finding out that Canada has about the same number of guns, per capita, as the U.S. So Michael Moore has pretty much the same stance on guns as the rightwads who hate him. How’s that for irony?
His newest movie — coming out this summer — is called Sicko. It’ll be a dark comedy (what else?) about America’s ailing health care system. The film will have a segment about some 9/11 rescue workers who had to go to Cuba to get medical treatments that weren’t available in America. Damn those Commies!

By Buy Danish April 24, 2007 9:44 AM Bon Scott, tell me, how do these Islamists manage to get it together long enough to set off these IEDs when they are so distracted by a history of tribal and religious infighting?
Call it co-operation of convenince, if you will. America is the enemy du jour. If the US wasn’t there, the extremists would be spending far more time killing eachother than they already are. Wait ‘til the US leaves, and the Sunnis (backed by Saudia Arabia) and the Shia (supported by Iraq) get back to doing what they REALLY want to do: kill eachother to set up monotheistic governments that recognize only their brand of religions.
Oh, it will be a bloody mess. The world, outraged by the bloodshed, but (more importantly) starving for the region’s oil will step in as a true international coalition to stop the carnage. Kind of like the war over Kuiwait, but this true international coalition of the wllling will be stepping in to stop conflicts that promise to be much more widespread and bloody than that tidy little rout that restored Kuiwat’s independence and developed some kind of order to the region.
By invading Iraq in 2003, BushCo simply advanced the timetable for a huge and probably unavoidable regional civil war that promises to spread far beyond Iraq. A civil war where multiple parties blame a multitude of other parties, accusing them of being infidels who refuse to accept the “right” religion.
In that scenario, the blame for the wars will be placed precisely where it belongs. On the heads of warlords and religious extremists who have always wanted to propagate their version of “the true faith”.
Instead, BushCo, in an attempt to secure it’s legacy (hah!), has handed the zealots a common enemy (the US) on a silver platter. Once the US leaves, they’ll go back to settling scores in the name of their own personal God. Then, the international community will intervene (remember that oil?) and in time, if the US is willing to join this coalition as an equal, this country just might be able to shake off the “imperialist war monger” label that the rest of the world has pinned on us.
Cindy and Walt, thanks for your support.

Speaking of groups of words which I find confusing:
“We’ve talked at length, my soldiers and myself, and a term that comes up often is this is our generation’s Vietnam,” said U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Matthew St. Pierre. “I don’t think this can be won, we’re caught in the middle of a civil war.”
For an idiot winger like myself reading this quote completely shatters all of my preconcieved notions about the world. I thought that people who said these sort of things undermine the troops and embolden the enemy, but how can the troops undermine themselves and embolden the enemy? Could it simply be a reflection of the reality on the ground by people who are actually there as opposed to me who just thinks what Rush tells me to think while I’m 8,000 miles away? These are hard questions for someone who avoids thinking at all costs.
How can we have our troops thinking and saying the same thing that Harry Reid said?

Christopher Shays is counseling patience and resolve. He points out that last November’s voters have gotten what they wanted with a new secretary of Defense, a new ground commander, and a new mission and strategy in Iraq. He believes that some war critics are encouraging the enemy to attack our forces in the expectation that American casualties will prompt a retreat. “If the enemy understood that we won’t be intimidated by the number of deaths inflicted on the United States, because we will remain focused on enabling the Iraqis to stand on their own, whatever it takes, there would be no point in killing our troops,” he explains. And he wonders the same thing that Speaker Pelosi is wondering: “If the United States wins, does she lose?” he asks.

Chris Shays has a very good point when he says that if we show the terrorists and insurgents that we don’t care how many troops die that we’ll stay anyway, then they’ll be no point in killing our troops. This is a perfect new strategy. Since the ONLY reason that anyone kills our troops is because they want to force us out then we just show them that we aren’t leaving.
This gives us some great opportunity for a unique display of solidarity with the Iraqi people. We just have our soldiers stand in one place somewhere in Baghdad without weapons and dare them to be killed, because you know what? We don’t care. We’re staying. This can save us a ton of money on artillery, bullets and training. Hell, we could just have Luck-o-Dull stand in the middle of a street in Sadr City and say “kill him.” Doesn’t matter to us. I’m sure he’d volunteer because we know he isn’t a coward.

Typical day, the defenders of ignorance are out in force, pushing lies and strawman arguements day in and day out in order to somehow justify the vote that they made. Scary.
I was thinking about fear the other day. You can see some on this blog are so infected with fear and panic that it props up the justification of myriad violations of the constitution. But what is there to be afraid of really. Yes there are people out there who want to kill US citizens. And thier tactics are brutal and devious, but on the whole it is small scale and unrealistic that the lives of US citizens will be lost on a massive scale. I think about this in relation to growing up in the 70s and 80s with the real threat of a nuclear exchange between the US and the USSR. That was a real possibility that one mistake, one precieved threat could unleash a reaction that would actually destroy the population of the US and most of the rest of the world as well. We were at the brink for years to the point that one pilot, sub captain, or balistic missle operator could start a chain reaction that would end life as we know it on the planet. I was a kid at the time, but was there this level of hysteria? Was there this climate of fear and threat? And is the public being manipulated to be fearful today through 24 hour news and on demand access with the internet? I would love to hear from someone older than I am what it was like in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Was there just much fear, and was it being pushed as hard as it is today?

Luck-o-Dull, I really don’t understand your response. I wasn’t saying that it is a good thing that Americans die, nor am I a Pinko. (BTW: I’d think my name was self-explanatory.) What I was saying is that Shays says that if we act like we don’t care then the enemy won’t try to kill us. He is saying that once the enemy realizes that killing our troops will have no effect on policy then the killing will stop. You see the real problem is democracy. The enemy knows that the people have a say in our policy so that if the enemy can get the people to pull out then they win. So they will keep killing our troops so long as we have a democracy. I say that we name Bush emperor, and consistent with Shays, the safety of our troops is thereby assured. After all given the polls it seems like the enemy will have elected our next president. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We can no longer afford a democracy in a post-9/11 world.

RE, Having an enemy is always scary. Being at war is also scary. (I used to run and hide from airplanes because I thought they were bombers.) Investing huge sums in the wrong war with is even scarier. If you read bon scott’s link at 9:42 you will better understand why the neocons work so hard to create hysteria. This is truly a very important piece of work in understanding why the neocons act as they do. They don’t really care about 9/11 or they would be on the bandwagon to get OBL, al Qaida and wipe out terrorists in countries like Somalia. They just “use” this tragic event to further their fascist causes.

(BTW: I’d think my name was self-explanatory.) What I was saying is that Shays says that if we act like we don’t care then the enemy won’t try to kill us. He is saying that once the enemy realizes that killing our troops will have no effect on policy then the killing will stop. You see the real problem is democracy. The enemy knows that the people have a say in our policy so that if the enemy can get the people to pull out then they win. So they will keep killing our troops so long as we have a democracy. I say that we name Bush emperor, and consistent with Shays, the safety of our troops is thereby assured. After all given the polls it seems like the enemy will have elected our next president. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We can no longer afford a democracy in a post-9/11 world.}}}

BD,
I respect your right to be ignorant, I would not try to educate you as to the threats of global warming as I believe you do not have the capacity to understand them. I suggest you act upon those beliefs and buy some land in coastal Louisiana or in the Florida Keys. Perhaps a nice place like salt lake city where all your water in the spring and summer comes from melting snow on the mountains. Don’t worry about what happens when the snows become less and less, and the water no longer flows.
So far as Al Queda goes, yes they are a threat, but relatively small compared to what we faced in the cold war, and I am confused as to why you are so hysterically paniced all the time.
On another note, has anyone noticed that the right wing cadre has the tendancy to lump together everything bad in the world as Liberal. Bin laden was a liberal, cho was a liberal, liberals hate america…. etc. Now just because you are a republican, I would not say that you are corrupt, racist, trample the constitution, or are a peadophile.

My point is that Bush should not be in possession of a medal meant for a wounded soldier if he was never a wounded soldier.

RW,
To address something that you brought up earlier—Mexicans can’t get ahead in Mexico due to the fact that a small oligarchy of families own most of the country…including the major banks. Also, regulations prohibit many Mexicans from obtaining business loans from foreign banks so they’re faced with loans offered at unrealistic terms. There are also a lot of other mechanisms in place that make sure that the very elite class is preserved. If I was an entrepreneurial and motivated Mexican, I would high-tail it to the US also for a better chance.
In regards to the millions of other immigrants from Central American countries, they’re escaping a very similar situation. Although, in their cases, we played a part in making sure that many of these countries never enacted reforms that would even the playing field and create more jobs and businesses. Countries like Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador come to mind—where we supported coups and insurgencies in order to make sure that the price of raw materials stay cheap for our consumption.
In many ways, this “illegal invasion” is a mere case of the chickens coming home to roost.

The President is completely insane. I really don’t know how else to put it. His constant refusal to accept the reality of his failures is one thing. His compulsive lying and incompetence in nearly every task he undertakes are others. But some of his most recent remarks concerning recent instances leave me thinking that America’s CEO a complete and utter nutjob, complete with little birds flying around in his empty skull, both eyes rotating independently of each other, a thin stream of drool cascading from the corner of his smirk- in short, the whole animated 9-yards of insanity.
How else to describe Mr. Bush’s assessment of his Attorney General’s “testimony” to Congress? After 2 days of hearings in which Alberto Gonzales “couldn’t recall” the answer to over 75 questions (which any honest trial judge would call ‘evasion’ or -gasp-lying), a hearing that left even more Senators from both parties calling for his resignation, Mr. Bush was quoted as saying that Gonzales’ performance “increased his confidence” in the man.
I guess if I were a compulsive liar myself, I’d be pretty impressed with Gonzales too. I guess if I had so many skeletons in the closet that metacarpals were sticking under the door, I’d have a lot of confidence in a guy who swears that he didn’t even know what metacarpals were. But if I were an average American citizen, I’d have some pretty grave concerns about the people at the top of the political foodchain about now. And I am, so I do.

A physical lesion is not required, however, the wound for which the award is made must have required treatment by a medical officer and records of medical treatment for wounds or injuries received in action must have been made a matter of official record.

Paul - Our supposed ally in the middle east has used our F16’s to bomb palisinian villages into rubble, and when questioned as to why they did so, their reply was that it was retaliation - preemptive retaliation. In other words, they assumed the pals would do something to justify bombing them, so they retaliated in advance. Offense, Defense, pre-emptive retaliation - these are just excuses for murdering mostly innocent people in the hopes of killing a few guilty ones.

I’m getting a little sick and tired of these libs complaining about the war. What were we supposed to do after Saddam ordered 9/11 and had all of those WMD”s that we found? And besides Iraqi oil is paying for the whole thing like they told us it would in the beginning. The Iraqis are greeting us like liberators and democracy is flourishing, just like they told us it would. There may be some sporadic violence, but if the insurgents were in their “last throes” 3 years ago, they must be really close to not “bringing it on” now. It’s almost as if you all haven’t been getting the “fair and balanced” news coverage that I watch.
BTW: from what I can tell from FOX is that the most important news story in the world right now is Alec Baldwin’s phone call. He’s a lib that did a bad thing.

Dick Cheney, Man, to Harry Reid, Sniveling Two Faced Coward:
Yesterday, Senator Reid said the troop surge was against the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group. That is plainly false. The Iraq Study Group report was explicitly favorable toward a troop surge to secure Baghdad. Senator Reid said there should be a regional conference on Iraq. Apparently, he doesn’t know that there is going to be one next week. Senator Reid said he doesn’t have real substantive meetings with the President. Yet immediately following last week’s meeting at the White House, he said, “It was a good exchange; everyone voiced their considered opinion about the war in Iraq.” What’s most troubling about Senator Reid’s comments yesterday is his defeatism. Indeed, last week, he said the war is already lost. And the timetable legislation that he is now pursuing would guarantee defeat.
The Vice President says there is more where that came from, gitmo.

“The example wasn’t to compare scorecards. It was to say they both served, the services took action appropriate to the circumstances as the commanding officers saw fit and it’s over. Really, time to move on.”
Back in that time frame in the National Guard, there often was a blind eye turned to members not getting their “drills” done in a proper fashion, or at all.
Bush got special treatment, and it is clear that he never finished his required service as a pilot.
He just disappeared out of the system entirely when he located to the Boston area.
When he relocated to Boston, he was -required- as an “obligor”, to find a unit to fly with. And it was and is not uncommon for pilots to participate with units that are far away geographically.
But Bush didn’t do that.
Further, he refused a direct order to complete a flight physical in Texas —- this, once urinalysis was part of the process.
Prior to that he did fly with a unit and was an okay pilot.
The paper pay roll print-outs from the period indicate that Bush did not receive any pay for 18 consecutive months during the last two years of his term of service.
All this was obscured during the 2004 campaign by the Dan Rather thing, but it was all documented.

There was a post that preceded that one on the subject of liberal fascism that did not get past the AJC servers.
In addition to effect of the decades long tradition of Stalinist political correctness which has effectively criminalized “offensive” speech, the thought police on the Left are silencing conservatives, particularly at college campuses.
This website chronicles much of it, but I have particularly cited Georgia Tech.
Considering these largely successful efforts, it is rather amusing to hear you Moonbats complain about conservative fascism.

Many institutions of high learning are staunch advocates of the First Amendment and Free Speech. Unless they find the speech offensive. Or unless it insults someone’s views. Or challenges someone.
And it seems most examples are of “left” groups silencing those on the right. Or with “conservative” views (generally political, some social). I’ve heard it said Muslim student organizations are particularly keen on labeling any questioning as “hate speech.”
I’m sure if the opposite were true the left websites would have many, many references. But that just doesn’t seem to be the case.

I was being a bit sarcastic, but also serious. Accusing officers of criminal conduct is very serious. I’m referring to his commanding officers and the officers at the headquarters. As far as I know, statutes of limitation do not apply in such cases.
BTW, I believe during Vietnam the poor shlubs who couldn’t go to college got drafted, those at college got deferments, when the lottery was instituted those at college got National Guard/Reserve assignments and those who didn’t were jealous that they weren’t “connected.” Some left the country on academic hiatus to avoid service, some just left, and a few who volunteered (especially towards the midpoint or end of the conflict) were looked at rather suspiciously (as in, “what?!!?

Bush — and the pay records show it — received no pay for 18 months.

Paul,
Believe me, I know all about it. I am passionate about this issue, and have been doing my best here to chronicle what the Left and organizations like The Muslim Students Association do (enabled of course by political correctness and Useful Idiots like we see every day right here).
This website is the best source that I know of that chronicles campus censorship, George Soros, and the whole gamut of Leftist activism.
In the left hand column you’ll see a story about what is going on in Rhode Island where the conservatives were shut down by the college “Senate”. I’d link to it but the AJC rules would require that I begin a whole new post.
I defy any liberal to find a comparable situation where conservatives have silenced them. The best they can come up with is the Dixie Chicks who were knocked off of country radio because their audience raised hell about their idiotic comments. They try to blame it on that evil corporation “Clear Channel” but they were responding to their audience. We heard all sorts of outrage about the “chill wind blowing across America” when that happened.
The same cannot be said for Don Imus’s demise which was not initiated by his own listeners.

And I’ve stated my opinion that nothing is going to come of the continuing Bush/Kerry/who served/who’s braver/ etc. controversy.
I’ve said about all I have to say on the subject - a bit sarcastically, I know, but I take charges of dereliction of duty, making false official statements, failure to obey a legal order, etc. for the many officers other than Pres Bush quite seriously. Thanks for putting forth your views the way you did.

Paul, your 4:58 makes us think bush actually got his medal from the military. As I understand it this isn’t true. Bush has no record deserving such a medal. I’m going to ask Chambliss if he would arrange the fanfare if I offered to give Hillary a purple heart.

Getalife,
I imagine that are well-qualified in the “getting a grip” department, but I’m not referring to your psychological state.
If you want to accuse Tammy Bruce of being a right wing neo-con wingnut, go ahead and make a fool of yourself. It’s what you do every day anyway - why change now?
Considering that you get your talking points from people like Eric Alterman of Media Matters, and the fact that you told us yourself how they are going after Rush et al, it’s going to be pretty difficult for you to backtrack now and pretend that that is not their stated agenda.

I did not mean to saw Pres Bush received any medals, awards or decorations. I just said both Pres Bush and Sen Kerry served, their commanding officers knew of their conduct and performance and I trust their COs took appropriate action in line with their professional judgement and responsibilities.

They’re at war with us. They want to come here and kill us.”}}}

{{{The leaders of the Democratic Party, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi who recently said, “the road to Damascus is a road to peace,” and went to Syria against the advice of the State Department, and Majority Leader of the Senate Harry Reid who recently said, “This war is lost,” should be an embarrassment to the Democratic Party, and could cause the Democrats to lose next year’s election. While I believe the Democrats have the edge in 2008, remember that Republicans thought they were a shoo-in in 1948. Harry Truman surprised them.-Ed Koch}}}

LuckoDull,
“They” are after us and “they’ want to kill us and we are at war with “they” and there is no reason to further define “they” even though “they” could mean terrorists who are trying to come here and kill us or “they” could mean Shia militiamen, or Sunni militiamen who have no intention of doing so, but seem to be the main problem in Iraq. But getting into specifics about “they” is just too difficult. Frankly its just better politics to have people in Atlanta worried that the Shia in Marietta are going to try to kill the Sunni in Convington. I expect the fighting to break out any day. So let’s just kill “they” until “they’re” dead.

I must have hit a nerve with you. Tough day checking register receipts?
I have no problem with your career choice. I treat all the greeters with respect and dignity. However, I find for the most part they are not as well educated or politically savvy as the above average poster here. Hence, I thought of you.
I don’t think George Bush had anything to do with flying planes into the world trade center. Some do, probably kooks. Most Americans question whether or not we know the whole story. Based on this administrations documented history of fabrications, Americans would be fools to trust them.
As for your parting shot, “But you’re a liberal so you probably think they’ve stolen your job.”, I am proud to be called liberal and I earned my job.

Any comments on the development of radical Islam, its relationship to Islam, the activities of the House of Saud in promoting its version of radical Islam, and whether or not this culture/civilization/entity poses any threat to the West, Africa, Hindu, etc? If so, what’s an appropriate counter? If not, what should our policy be?

Cindy,
You have to understand a few things about the world. First, without real tangible fear you might feel free to vote for your and your children’s interests, but if you are scared then you will do what Government and big business tells you to do. You see peace is simply bad for power hungry dictators. Fear is a must. Throw in a few flags and a healthy fear of the almighty and you got yourself a real GOP facsist state just like we right wing nut jobs like.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
Personally I think that Americans being afraid of terrorists is kinda sad really. Why should the world’s most powerful nation quake at a bunch a rag head idiots, right? But you see even though really ought not be afraid, your lack of fear will jeopardize the executive branches ability to control the levers of power.
I mean if you were told that you were more likely to be hit by lightning while cashing a winning lottery ticket than being a victim of a terrorist attack, then why would you tolerate massive defense spending and government invasion of your privacy. You wouldn’t of course. That being said I’d say that chances of you being beheaded tomorrow by an , what is it now, “Islamo-facist’ as you leave the house is about 85%, so vote GOP.

You see things as you want them to be, i.e. senior citizens at WalMart as undereducated. I see things as they are. Senior citizens at WalMart with the “wisdom” to know that idle lives offer little rewards.
Your perception is influenced by your emotional state at any given moment. Despite the torturous lessons of cause and effect, some individuals, like you, continue to make the same errors. And with each mistake you declare them with the certainty that your perceptions are objectively valid.
People like yourself, who are afflicted with mood ^^^ disorders constantly fall victim to their “self-serving illusions’, and thereby maintain their pathology.
You believe that people without education are beneath you. I believe that education is highly overrated. My education was a means to an end. Nothing more than that. And now…
I have the great privilege of learning so much more than I was ever taught in the halls of higher education.
From whom do I learn? Kids that the world labels as “challenged”. Kids that you would see as beneath you, incapable of benefitting from an education.
You touched a nerve?
Only if I leave them exposed. I don’t.
I did enjoy exposing you though.
