Stingrays, Lewinsky, free Whitney
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Thinking Right’s Friday free-for-all. Pick a topic:
• Get the counselors to the classrooms. Since “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray, alleged revenge-seekers have killed 10 of them. A two-part plan of action is needed. First, counselors. Then work up a lesson plan on stingray tolerance. Maybe cut 15 minutes out of the math class every Thursday to squeeze it in.
• On the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, U.S. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) declared “violence is obsolete as a tool of our foreign policy.” These are the people who would lead us in an unsafe world.
• Some heed Lewis’ guidance. The opportunity existed with an armed drone to kill more than 100 Taliban fighters packed together at a funeral for one killed earlier in the day. The United States declined because of the setting. So now they live to kill another day. Terrorists live because somebody thinks the bad press worldwide will cause more harm than the live terrorists.
• A Vent author speculates that the pandas hired the Seegers’ restaurant PR guy. Nah. He’s working the Mark Taylor-Cathy Cox snit.
• Chicago Mayor Richard Daley vetoed the proposed “living wage” ordinance directed at Wal-Mart, contending it would drive businesses from the city. What a crazy thought — that government can legislate business out of existence or out of the market. This is not news to conservatives. • It’s kinda late in the Braves’ season. Shouldn’t we have a magic number by now?
• Monica Lewinsky may yet be revealed to have been an important historical figure. At a crucial time in the hunt for Osama bin Laden, she distracted President Clinton and therefore the country.
• In the Georgia House of Representatives, where new University System Chancellor Erroll B. Davis Jr. was being installed, Albany State University student Kendria Bailey sang an a cappella rendition of “Amazing Grace,” a favorite of Southern funerals, so beautifully that it was darn rude of all there not to have been a corpse.
• Timothy Shelnut of Augusta, a member of the University System Board of Regents, spoke, too. You gotta love America. His father, a cotton mill worker, died at 83, never having learned to read or write. His mother has a third-grade education. He quit school in the 12th grade. And here he is speaking at the installation of a chancellor who presides over 35 colleges and universities. And the chancellor, Erroll Davis, was born into a world where the idea that a black boy would grow up to achieve this honor was too preposterous to imagine.
• And finally, from this event, there’s my new inspiration, a 10th-grader from Carver Early College high school in Atlanta. Givonte Latimore stood before the governor, the chancellor, the regents and the presidents of 35 colleges and legislators as a representative of the next generation of college students. And drew a blank in delivering his remarks. Yet he stood there, kept his composure and manfully worked his way through it. A classy performance in overcoming one of everybody’s worst fears. All others spoke less memorably.
• Eliminating the state income tax on retiree income, as Gov. Sonny Perdue proposes, is one shoe. Surely there’s another. Reform, maybe. Not that tax-services “reform” that Democratic policy wonks have pushed for years as a way to get more money for social programs.
• A law that criminalizes parents for choosing a better or more convenient school for their children is fundamentally wrong. Fayette County school officials have led police to arrest a mother and grandmother of three children for “false swearing,” a felony, for declaring the children to be residents of the county. The fix is to transfer the sum Clayton County would have spent to educate them to Fayette.
• Oh, how far I have fallen. I have an opinion about Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, whose relationship prompted a special exception to my 25-year Rule of Marriage. The rule: Never try to comprehend anything about the relationship of couples married for 25 years or more. With this exception: For the two of them, it’s a 14-year Rule. But for that, I’d say dump him and try to straighten out Osama bin Laden —who is allegedly obsessed with her.

Jim Wooten! Do not mock the Crocodile Hunter. Seriously.
Folks shouldn’t be killing stingrays, but the Croc Hunter wouldn’t have wanted that. He delighted children and adults for years and his death is a tragedy.

Good morning, all. Rep Lewis’s determination, that US citizens should take the punch no matter how many die, is not purely principle (albeit a weird one were that the case.) He built his career on succor for the victims, financed by others of course. If we rebuild a world with fewer victims, then the world has less use for Rep Lewis and his fellow travelers. Violence against the evil-doers sounds like a good strategy to me.
The Dems’s foolish campaign against WalMart, to drive up WalMart’s costs, will not endear the Dems to middle America; makes the Dems sound shrill. I suppose the Dems have decided they do not need the votes of the WalMart shoppers. I go to WalMart every month; they are cheaper than most, and they do have a good selection on most things. Funny, the hot story about WalMart, for me, is their ILC application in Utah, which has the big bank-ers nationwide quaking in their boots – they fear the competition. This is one of those funny cases where WalMart does not really threaten the small competition, just the big boys. On behalf of mom and pop bankers everywhere, I say, “Bring ‘em on.”
Poor Givonte, I do feel for him. We have all been there. Don’t put a bullet in your brain, son, there is life after embarrassment. I usually open my speeches with a story of one of my well-intentioned screw-ups; unfortunately I have a lot of the John Kerry manner in my style, so it always helps to show I’m human. Turn it into a plus; it’s a great opening for a serious speech. “I have always been a dynamic speaker. I remember the time I was addressing the legislature. The governor was there, hanging on my every word, (pause) and my mind went blank. (long pause) What do you do when the whole world is watching, and you forget what you wanted to say? (pause again) (loudly) You fake it! So today, I plan to fake everything. If anything I say sounds real, just remind yourself, this is the guy…..” Have some fun with it, it will work for you, it will bring them in instantly.

Remember, everyone, to set the Brave’s Magic # back 1 game cause it’s “fall back, spring forward”.
Perhaps Whitney can distract Osama Bin Laden in his plans for the next 911 and do to Al Queda what Monica did to us……ew.
10th-grader Givonte Latimore’s mind went blank during a public speech? Sounds like he’d make a great president.
Hours before the attack, the stingray that killed Steve Irwin had posted a picture of itself on the internet with a blog that read, “I’m feeling surfy, and really coastal.” When are we going to heed the obvious warnings when sea creatures are about to go berserk?

Jim, Clayton County should not have to pay the amount they would have spent - they should pay the amount Fayette County spent. Since there is no “voucher” system it is the school system’s responsibility to ensure that only kids that live in Fayette go to Fayette Schools. My tax dollars funding my children’s education - not my tax dollars funding every childs education. You are moving further and further right. How close do you sit to Ms. Tucker?

At that Taliban funeral, where 100 terrorists were gathered to mourn one of their own who died earlier that day……I thought there were only 72 virgins for Islamic martyrs. That’s just like spring break, there’s never enough girls gone wild for boys gone horny…ever. I’ve never seen the numbers be equal, not in school, in a bar, at the beach, at the grocery store, its always the same….fifty fat bellied beer swigging guys and two chicks.
I’ll tell you where the babes are: at auditions for roles in television commercials. I dont know where these dolls come from, but they are all tens. It’s a little unnerving, when you have to act opposite an Angelina Jolie and she’s being really nice to you and acting all interested in your every facial nuance (when the camera’s rolling), and then as you both leave the studio, she kinda fades away out of your orbital plane, (as it should be, of course).

Stingray tolerance class? Misguided and too late. The only thing that could’ve prevented this was a Steve Irwin tolerance class for wildlife. He ran around p** off them buggers, and clearly ran in to one who did not tolerate much.
If one disparages another for saying violence should not be a tool of foreign policy, then it follows that one subscribes to a policy of violence. Violence is a policy tool for wifebeaters and the like. We don’t want the USA doesn’t want to be a wifebeater does we? Why do we hate America so much? Even the terrorists are unhappy for the USA to employ violence as a policy tool (rather than a defence tool) because it makes their recruiters eligible for overtime pay sorting thru all the applicants.
Is “false swearing,” a felony, not what the GOPites continue to deride former president Bill Clinton about on a daily basis, EVEN TODAY IN THIS VERY COLUMN (yet another lewinshky mention)? Is this another hypocritical case of the leaders being held to a different standard than the grandmas?
False swearing is either a problem or it isn’t, but somebody needs to make a choice and stick with it.

Jim,
If I’m not mistaken, John Lewis and others won the rights that those in power would not grant them via a system of non-violent protest. How do you think the civil-rights movement would’ve fared if blacks in America rose up against the system that was abusing them violently?
Rent “Munich” to see where hate and revenge will get you. Pretty much nowhere.
Also, I don’t believe that Clinton was distracted at all by Lewinsky - he’s a playa, and they don’t get distracted by that kind of thing. He was distracted by the GOP’s self-righteous efforts to impeach him for lying about something every man who has ever lived has lied about….Just ask Rush and Newt.
Seeing as how Bush lied to the entire country about going to war and thousands of Americans have died since, that’s kind of ironic, isn’t it.

Dear harold, I agree with most of your words on “false swearing,” but I think you misunderstood Jim’s point. Bill Clinton was not criminally indicted, and served no sentence, for the incontrovertible false testimony in court. Perhaps Jim is suggesting grandmothers should not be held to a higher standard than the former President?

Monica Lewinsky - again?
I think Clinton was just trying to convert the young lady to the Southern Baptist religion. She was on her knees praying and things just went off in another direction. Happens all the time in evangelical congregations (all the excitement, you know), fundie preacher types often find themselves in unusual situations with their congregants. Why I bet Dumbya is trying to convert Jeff Gannon/Guckert as I type!
Clinton and Lewinsky were just striking a blow for religion in the White House.

stolen from wikipedia- An official who is impeached faces a second legislative vote (whether by the same body or another), which determines conviction, or failure to convict, on the charges embodied by the impeachment.
So, clinton never got to step 2, a conviction or failure to convict, because step 1, the impeachment,regarding his false swearing failed.

Mr. Wooten - What exactly does a congressman do? I have little recent experience with the subject. We were recently move from Cynthia McKinney’s district into John Lewis’s. I was hoping to have congressional representation for the first time in God knows when, but I can’t figure out what Rep. Lewis does either. I looked at his congressional website and it is mostly about his past. There are a few press releases demanding action on something, but nothing I can find about what he actually accomplishes for the 5th district. I don’t see or hear much about him in the press and what little there is doesn’t seem to have much to do with being a congressman either. Is he a backroom guy that gets things done while flying under the radar? What is is congressional record. I see his unopposed in the coming election. Is he unbeatable because he is invaluable to the district. Can you or someone else enlighten me, please? I’d like to hear from both sides.

The sarcasm about counselors was unnecessary and unworthy of you. Right after 9/11 there was a surge of elementary school violence against any brown-skinned students. In my school the counselors spent about 30 minutes in every classroom (starting in Kindergarten) talking to the children about the difference between enemies and friends (and the fact that you can’t tell the difference just by looking. That is a lesson that will probably be of more importance than the difference between longitude and latitude.)

Well, if they’d listened to my idea of a traveling electric chair, people wouldn’t have to take the law in their own hands and kill stingrays. As a true conservative, I believe we should line ‘em up and juice ‘em for the murder of that alligator guy. We could start with the stingrays that have the darkest color first. One thing’s for sure: if we juiced ‘em all, they wouldn’t be murdering any more people and the ocean crime rate would go down when the other stingrays saw what happened to their criminal brothers.
Anyway, that poor guy that forgot what he was going to say—it reminds me of the fifth grade and the time I got stuck trying to recite the multiplying tables. I’m sure that’s what got me flunked and the reason I had to drop out. Still, it didn’t hurt me none. I can now think just like TFTT, Realist, BMLaw, Markus, and a few other conservative people here. Anyway, they are the same as me when it comes to thinking.

There’s something quite sinister about J. Lewis, his overbearing smugness and typical far leftist intolerance of any one else’s point of view has always made him a politician I heartily detest. His willingness to play the race card and racebait - if not quite as overtly as the defeated thug McKinney - is another charmless aspect of a rather charmless man. Just because someone suffered in earlier times at the hands of both petty and institutionalised racism doesn’t make him an expert on anything, nor does it give him the right to pontificate unchallenged on any subject - not even race. Absolutely respect his past “struggle” but dont ever pander to him because of it. Lewis’ brainless “quoted” declaration on US policy is as moronic as anything that McKinney, Sharptongue, Waters or Farrakhan have ever said. Obviously Black Republicans are ALWAYS worthy of great respect!!
Any Taleban funeral needs at least one daisy cutter to ensure that Allied military aren’t killed by these untargeted mohammedan facists at a later date. This kind of gutless, fearful, defensive political correctness is what the cut and run left and the blame America rabble have managed to inculcate in Pentagon types. Its a shameful day in US history - imagine similar circumstances in W2 - you simply cant … backing off from killing nazis or japs - this would never have happened!!
Lets hope that Ms Houston’s domestic strife and (frequently alleged) love affair with illegal narcotics occupies her sufficiently to prevent any serious attempts to impose any more of her vile shallow pap masquerading as musak on the rest of us. There are enough worthless divas cackling on the wireless today - one more would just make the septic tank of talentless drivel need pumping that bit earlier.
Still no word on B. Campbell’s all too short life in the big house - hopefully he is not adjusting well and the food and gambling are not to his satisfaction.
The new Georgia car number plates are awful - no class or thought at all. This is just another cynical money grabbing grab by the state. The current GA number plates are fine. We have three of the American Eagle wildlife plates. Perhaps the state could be persuaded to introduce a number plate for Club Gitmo with a photo of a terrorist inmate in an orange jump suit being tended to by a couple of US soldiers, this would make a superbly patriotic plate!!

Wow, somebody call the Guiness Book of World Records, we have a record. 8 years has to be the longest blow job in history. Because that’s how long it had to be for Lewinsky to actually have been the lone reason that Osama bin Laden was left to his own devices during Clinton’s presidency, based on Wooten’s assertion.
Lewinsky was a 15 minute distraction to Clinton, but the Republican controlled Congress’s obession with impeachment was a 3 year distraction. In my opinion, OBL was a threat long before the “job”, and the GOP didn’t seem too concerned with OBL after the “job”, so there is plenty of blame to go around. And the neocon hawks in Bush’s new administration were too concerned with how they were going to justify a war in Iraq to put much time into OBL prior to 9/11, so there is blame for them too. And after 2003, OBL has been a lower priority due to Iraq.
I’m tired of the backwards one sided blame game that Wooten wants to keep playing. Everybody f*cked up. What matters is what we do now.

TFTT - Not sure you were answering my post, but your perspectiveon John Lewis is interesting. The one thing I have noticed about Rep. Lewis is that he always looks mad and he generally seems to be demanding that something be done about something. I’m basically disenfranchised in the 5th district since he runs unopposed, so I’d like to hear more from you and others about what I’m getting or not getting from my congressman. Maybe I can do is a write-in vote in November.

I base my observations on Lewis on what I have seen and read in the last 9 years or so. He seems to have nothing to offer thr nation except being a very left wing black racial spoils/civil rights type. He may be a good rep for his constituents getting local problems sorted - I cant comment on that as happily I am not in his district. I agree with your characterisation too - he always looks vexed and angry. My perception is that he is also very intolerant of anyone who disagrees with him - clearly a Carter clone in that area. Being black and very liberal seems to be his major expertise/contribution. And I am not joking here!!

Of course it was the Clenis’ fault. Had that young and plump girl with the soft mouth not distracted the President — and surely it was a distraction, that slurping under the desk, which image [imagined] is still constantly tormenting me as well, wondering what it might be like — why, OBL would be camel food by now.
Why just last week, Our Leader in the War Against Pigmented Nonbelievers re-emphasized that OBL is “just like” Hitler and Stalin, a clear recognition of the evil that this man represents. But, I was confused when, just days later, Our Leader stated that OBL “is just not that important”. Could Our Leader be receiving unter-desk pleasuring that caused his attention to stray?
Perplexed, my faith shaken, I repaired to the Captain’s Room for Reading and Deep Reflection (RfRaDR) to work out the problem. Alas, Mrs. Freedom needed to use the mirror to put on her makeup (though why she needs makeup just to greet Pedro the Plumber remains a mystery), so I was forced to the secondary RfRaDR at the Woodstock Starbucks to resolve this cognitive dissonance.
Well, one look at Laura made me think, no, she has the same fixed and glassy gaze as Mrs. Freedom, and I know all too well how she feels about that sort of thing, so no, it could not be Oval Office bjs (and don’t even suggest that a Bush might engage in extramarital sex [forgetting Neil, of course, who was probably adopted]).
And then it struck me…it was a classic strategery, a Rope-A-Dope* designed to lull Bin Laden back into the open where we could catch him more easily. Certainly, trudging around Pakistan looking under every rug is too much work, so luring the bastard out into the open where Duane “Dog” Chapman and his crew could just grab him for another episode of Bounty Hunter was not only tactically brilliant, it would also save countless military dollars while boosting ratings for the good people at ABC who showed their patriotism by airing the 9/11 Grief Commemoration and Clenis Slam movie last week. Win-win for everyone, and it might save the Army from having to recruit more soldiers to replace the ones lost in the Kush. Pure Bushian Genius.
My faith restored, I am back to the Wooten Blog to join with my True Belief brethren (including the not-men members) in the fight against pansywristed bedwetting coddlers like John Lewis. And I wish to apologize to Our Great Leader in Freedom for my momentary doubt of his infallibility.
And while I’m here at the Woodstock Starbucks, I’m hoping to meet Barbara, who might not have such an aversion to certain activities as Mrs. Freedom. I’m wearing a bow tie so you’ll know me.

In regards to John Lewis, he is a great congressman. He has always answered any letter that I have written him in a very prompt manner and he is very classy. The man has also taken his fair share of beatings and abuse at the hands of rabid segregationsists and brutal, gestapo-like state troopers. The man has faced more danger and has put his life on the line more than most people on this blog. If people want to criticize Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, fine, but John Lewis is far above any politician that holds office nowadays.

Per usual, Jim slacks on the Friday column, offering cheap shots instead of information or insight. Not very good cheap shots either, which is what, I supposed makes them, and his standing as a “Journalist” so cheap.
Regarding Congressman Lewis: YOU ARE ALL SAD LITTLE WUSSIES next to that man. (Original noun changed for propriety.)
Before that man embarked on the march to Selma that day, in a decade long long ago that most of you pretend didn’t exist, he looked at himself in the mirror. HE KNEW it might well be the last time he ever saw his reflection. Or his loved ones. HE KNEW there was a pretty darned good chance he would get bashed in the head with a policeman’s billy club, or worse. YET HE DID IT ANYWAY!
Why? Because it was the right thing to do, and it needed to be done. Wouldn’t YOU be scared, a black man in the Old South, standing up to Whitey in a NON-VIOLENT stand for peaceful change, KNOWING you’d bleed before it was over?
WAR VETERANS: You went into battle ARMED, did you not? (This is my rifle, this is my gun…) C’mon, say it. SAY IT! You went into combat with weapons and ammunition and a clear directive to KILL.
John Lewis went into battle armed only with his principles and his own trembling voice asking for peace, justice, and equality.

like I said earlier I certainly respect Lewis for his part in the civil rights struggle - I have no experience of how he treats his constituents so I made no comment on that. But his rabidly leftist politics and his intolerance of other viewpoints make him for me just another black racial spoils politician.
Surely liberal you aren’t saying just because he’s black and was beaten by rednekkk’s grandparents/klan types he is entitled to say/do anything he wants politically without challenge. He’s clearly NOT the only black man or woman that suffered back then - he has no ‘moral monopoly’ on that either.
He is NOT above any politician because of what happened to him … that’s absurd!! He must be judged and treated exactly the same as any other far leftist black/progressive caucus politician who has a racial spoils agenda. This kind of pandering/fawning is repugnant to me!!
McCain arrogantly seems to think that he is also entitled to special treatment and kid glove treatment because of his experience in Hanoi - which is equally repugnant and arrogant. Respect him also for what he endured - but treat him the same as every one else.

I don’t think that his politics are really anything too radical. He is left of center, but he has never said anything inflammatory or disrespectful about anyone. He definitely doesn’t have a “racial spoils” agenda and is rightlfully concerned about issues regarding progress in the black community. But he also addresses issues of his ENTIRE constituency.
His remarks the other day were in defense of his an his colleagues against the outrageous remarks of the majority leader. He was right for defending himself and setting the record straight. No man should sit idly by while someone accuses him of “caring about terrorists more than Americans.” That comment was a bunch of bull$hit.

Bush is ripping the jackass media a new one right now… SO sweet. David Gregory, what a HORSE’S @SS. Anywawy…
Counseling, counseling, COUNSELING! This nation is going to weenies in a hand basket as we become father and farther removed from being able to think for ourselves and deal with reality ourselves. You can thank the wonderful pillow-soft Utopian world of liberalism for the weeniefication of this nation, where individual independent thought is chastised and group consensus is the precept.
Rep. Lewis showed his true colors a few weeks ago about businesses being owned by non-blacks. I suppose all those inner city youths were too cool to go to school or just dreamed of being NBA stars instead of working to improve their own environment like helping to open a corner store. If one group isn’t going to get the job done, it leaves the door wide open for other groups. But of course, that’s having a racist attitude. Rep. Lewis is just another ex-60s peacenik liberal who thinks there really is no hostility in the world at the end of their fluffy world view day. No, we can’t kill terrorists because that will just create more of them. What mind stunningly brilliant real-world thinking. We should have CLUSTERBOMBED those islamogoons. Just damn.
Mayor Daley, the man who likes to take over small airports that “rich people” use and transform them into social causes, has lead the way on reform and questionable political practices in Chicago. However, even a smart Democrat knows the reality of the situation when free enterprise threatens to pack up and haul @ss. Score one huge victory for capitalism against liberal neomarxist socialism.
Braves? Who are they?
Since the WTC attack in 1993 under Clintoon’s watch, it was painfully obvious that the ineptitude of Warren Christopher and then Madeleine Albright really weren’t interested in dealing with islamoterrorism. I don’t believe Monica had that much of an impact on the Clintoon administration not capturing Been Layin’. The Slickster himself said they didn’t have enough on the human filth to haul him in. No, 9/11 happened mostly due to the appeasement mentality of the left, like John Lewis said. Considering that the Bush administration was side-tracked and wasted many months wrestling with the pi$$ed off democrats to get all their cabinet appointees in place, I don’t think they share nearly as much blame as the Clintoons.
Allowing individuals, be they retired or not, to own/control more of their own money is the equivalent of the anti-Christ to liberal socialist democrats. Florida sure has no problem getting things done with no state income tax period. What about those tax “holidays?” Are they granted to only those people who paid taxes in the first place? Oh hell no. That wouldn’t be… [sniff]… fair to everyone. YACK.
Two words for those parents wise enough to want to get out of the trap of NEA-controlled government schools: homeschooling, private schools. Or, move to a better county. Liberals are all for choice until it comes to public education, socialist security, retirement, healthcare, individuality of opinion, …
More random thoughts…
I wonder how many of those people out there who are now screaming about Delta being able to take away pilot pensions were the same ones who screamed about pilot pay?
There are obviously too many northern transplants in Georgia’s state government making stupid decisions these days. The ugly solid blue tag thing has already been done in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. GAWD how hideous.

Thanks for sticking to a sober recitation of facts, this is where you shine like a beacon.
Yes, David Gregory is a moron. I remember when he had the unmitigated arrogance to actually speak in French to the Prime Minister of France. Aside from showing undue respect to the Gitane-sucking surrender snails, it is just being a show-off, and was done solely to make Our Leader look bad. That he can even speak the coward’s tongue is enough of an indictment.
And now, he wishes to point out contradictions in Our Leader’s pronouncements. First, there is no contradiction if one applies True Belief and Common Sense Right Thinking. I’ve proved that with most post at 10:37. Second, it is the job of the press to REPORT, not to question what they are told to type out or repeat. Third, he looks awfully fruity.
And kudos on pointing out the Yankee connection with the blue auto tags. This is yet another humiliation inflicted upon the South. Our color is gray, not that horrible blue that represents the loss of our natural state’s rights.

It truly is a shame the Steve Irwin’s death has resulted in the retaliatory destruction of stingrays. Something that he wouldn’t have wanted. I’ve swam with stingrays. They’re skin is like wet velvet and their mouths will suck up food like a vacuum. I guess I’m lucky I didn’t get barbed, but I’d do it again.
Acknowledging John Lewis’s contribution to the early civil rights, there remains a problem with black leaders like him. He has failed to recognize the victory and keeps the black constituency bogged down in the quagmire of the past. I’m very hopeful when I see the new black conservative leaders give rise to confidence within the black community.
Givonte Latimore is to be commended. Public speaking has never been a fear for me. My audience is always nekkid in my mind’s eye. I’ve had numerous occasions to address my Board of Commissioners on zoning issues. At my last appearance, I was told by the Chairman that their time was limited, so I must keep my presentation under eight minutes. I had timed my presentation to five minutes, but since he gave me three additional, I felt compelled to tell him that their time certainly was not limited based on what I pay in property taxes.

My impression of John Lewis was of someone with a noble past who is marching backwards into the future. I haven’t heard anything here to change that impression. He may be of high character, but what constructive does he do/has done? What is his record as opposed to his positions on issues?

John Lewis is a man who speaks for those who have no voice because of their disadvantagement. He sees that they are not stolen from or raped by the priveledged. And he talks back to the president who was elected by stolen votes when people were not allowed to vote. He can not be criticised.

Richard,
What do you call 500+ artillery shells of gas, not reported to the UN.
At least that is what Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) and Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) reported.
Reading from a declassified portion of a report by the National Ground Intelligence Center, a Defense Department intelligence unit, Santorum said: “Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq’s pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist.”

There is no way that everyone will agree with all of John Lewis’s political opinions (although I do for the most part), however, have some respect for the man.
What he did in the past is very relevant to the present. In fact, I personally feel indebted to the man because had it not been for him, I may not be where I am right now. Hence, my reasons for being very defensive of his character. Like I said, you can criticize his politics all you want, but don’t attack the character of one of the few members of Congress that have actually shed their blood for freedom.

Stingrays, legal or otherwise, can vote in Fulton County only if they choose absentee ballots. See, the Republikkkans are demanding photo ID for poor people and blacks who show up at the polls. But stingrays and fat-cat Republikkkans, dead or otherwise, can just ask for an absentee ballot and never show any proof of their physical or legal existence. Sounds fair to me. In fact, in November I plan to vote by absentee ballots on behalf of my dead grandparents, my nonresident children, and a few other people to be named later. It’s the Amerikkkan and therefore Republikkkan way.

I can buy that they had time to hide some of them (assuming there were any) I can even see that they hid alot of them. But ALL? I know that there are very intelligent people in here. (not all, but some) and I am really having a hard time understanding the circular logic used - I have no problem with fighting for our freedom, I have no problem fighting terrorists, and I am aware that we are fighting a group of people who think every American should die. I am all for protecting ourselves and our interests. But this war was started under false pretences. Calling me (or anyone else) names isn’t going to change that fact. And I think Bill’s escapades were wrong too - but give me a freaking break - he wasn’t the first to have sex in the Oval Office, he won’t be the last, and if that is all you can say about the man, ENOUGH! Call me a kool-aid drinker - call me a moron - makes absolutely no difference to me - none of you pays my bills, at the end of the day your opinion is yours, and has no effect on me. I AM interested in understanding how some of you have formed your opinions. If you want to share that - I am all ears (eyes) but I really have no time to wade through the sea of crap to get to an honest idea or discussion. I do, however, keep hoping…

C’mon man, the two sources that you cited about Cleland and Kerry are extremely biased. There has been nothing in the mainstream media, not even FOX, that has went out on such a limb. Kerry was shot and he should have defended himself more vehemently against the lying Swift Boat Vets, many of whom never really served with Kerry. Cleland saw a grenade and jumped on it to protet his fellow soldiers, no matter if it was American or VC, he sacrificed himself to prevent others from being hurt. It’s downright lowdown to miminize anybody’s sacrifices or injuries that were incurred while they were in service for their country.
Although I didn’t agree with Bob Dole, I never questioned his injuries, nor John McCain’s, nor Bush Sr.r’s. They all put their lives on the line and we sit here behind our cozy little computers comfortably.

And while Kerry was lounging on a swiftboat with a camera while picking BBs out of his neatly pressed uniform, the brave GW Bush was fearlessly defending our freedom somewhere in Alabama in a jet fighter—or maybe a bomber or a piper cub. His mission was so secret that even his commanders and his colleagues were unaware of his existence in his unit. His service records were destroyed in order to preserve the secret of his dangerous missions.

He has moved beyond the Civil Rights Movement and entered the next stage by being an elected official. By participating in the American democratic system. He understands that the next phases of overcoming hundreds of years of disenfranchisement is ensuring that everybody has the opportunity to better themselves…not by handouts.

TFTT –
Good afternoon. How you doin’ good buddy?
Listen, I know that Dana, Barbara and others think highly of you, so I thought: “I need to get to know this guy. He really sounds nice.”
As a first step, I opened a dialogue with you yesterday, and I was happy to find that you exceeded all of my expectations. Remember when you called me “witless”, “petty moron”, “control freak”, “envious”, “spiteful”, “on food stamps”, “obsessed”, “silly”, “anal pedant” (that one’s my favorite), “sad twonk” and “dishonest anal bullock” (I love the British insults – so exotic)? You’re such a card TFTT. I know you were just joshin’ me. As Barbara wrote yesterday, your subtle wit is thought-provoking.
I also read some of your other posts, and you did not disappoint. You do have thought-provoking stuff out there. For example, yesterday you wrote: “…it might be worth tying a few lefties to one of the oaks…and setting fire to it.” Do know what thought that provoked? SOMEBODY SHOULD CALL THE COPS!!! That’s what I thought. Hahaha.
Don’t worry TFTT - I’m not really going to call the cops on you. I’m joshin’ you too. I really do love your subtle humor.
But seriously buddy, you said something in your @9:47 AM post that really hit home with me. You complained about the “sinister” John Lewis’ “intolerance of any one else’s point of view”, and I knew right away that you and I could be close. Why? Because you ARE tolerant of the point of view of others. Your tolerance and open-mindedness is an example to us all.
But most of all, I know that whenever I’m backed into a proverbial corner and run out of arguments or facts or logic or rational thought and don’t know what to say, that I can always get online and find out what “time for the truth” would do in a similar situation.
Thank you TFTT. From the bottom of my heart – thank you.

Examples of the “Bizarro World” hypocritical utterances of the those “thinking right”:
1. “U.S. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) declared “violence is obsolete as a tool of our foreign policy.” These are the people who would lead us in an unsafe world.”
Uh, since conservatives boast of their deeper connection to Christianity, why are those who dare speak in accordance with Christ’s teachings, so immediately ridiculed? Makes you wonder who the crusifiers would be, if Jesus once again walked the planet……
(Lewis wasn’t saying there is never a time or place for force, just that it should not be our primary tool of diplomacy)
2. “The United States declined because of the setting. So now they live to kill another day. Terrorists live because somebody thinks the bad press worldwide will cause more harm than the live terrorists.”
Now wait, isn’t that “somebody” Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld & all the other politicians & pundits on the “right side”? Aren’t THEY the ones who incessantly lay blame for our lack of successes in Iraq/Afghanistan on the PRESS? That it is what is in the PRESS, that is giving support & strength to the terrorists?
And I scratch my head and wonder at how the left, the media, or the Dems caused the military/Pentagon/administration to not pull the trigger. I thought the Bush administration “NEVER” makes decisions based on politics?
This constant whining, excuse-making, and scape-goating of the Dems &/or media flies in the face of reality. In an administration that, more than any other in my 50+years, does exactly what it pleases, no matter what the US people, media, courts, or international community feels, why is it that right-wing pundits still think they can blame every screw-up on the powerless ones on the “other side”?
Oh, that’s right, when those reading or listening to them don’t bother to think (or research) for themselves…….

And that’s not to leave out Andrew Jackson, Zachary Taylor, Abe Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Bush Sr.

Good late afternoon, Jim,
I was back in the city today. Had to be there “early,” so I am just now getting back home in the hinterlands and having an opportunity to opine.
You are all over the map in today’s “Thinking Right” column. I mean…Monica Lewinsky and “Billy” Clinton…really.
“Georgie” Bush appears to have lost Colin Powell’s support…at least as related to the legislation for the military tribunals for unlawful combatants. I keep remembering the old saying… “fool me once shame on you; fool me twice shame on me.”
With regard to the lack of “corpses” at Kendria Bailey’s rendition of “Amazing Grace” in the Georgia House of Representatives on the occasion of the installation University System Chancellor Erroll B. Davis, Jr., the House was NOT in session. Had the inmates been present, there would have been a whole assemblage of deadheads!
Finally, in your blurb about the Fayette County/Clayton County school situation, wherein a mother and grandmother have been charged with “bearing false witness” in order to get their children into a more desirable school, you state that the solution is for the money Clayton County would have spent to educate “Johnny” to be transferred to Fayette County. You have arrived at the solution for the illegal immigration problem. Mexico can transfer all the money they would normally spend on their citizens to our treasury.
Oh, wait…we still wouldn’t have anything would we!?!

In an administration that, more than any other….. does exactly what it pleases, no matter what the US people, media, courts, or international community feels, why is it that right-wing pundits still think they can blame every screw-up on the powerless ones on the “other side”?

Jim, I’d love to know your authority for the comment that Monica Lewinsky distracted President Clinton at a crucial time in the hunt for Osama Bin Laden. By authority, you understand, I mean a valid, provable source. I do not mean someone’s supposition, or flight of fancy. It is this kind of irresponsible journalism that adds fuel to the fires of partisanship in this country. You do it all the time, making a snide comment about something with no basis in fact just for yucks. The trouble is, it’s not funny and it’s not clever and it’s not helpful. Opinion is one thing, outrageous lies entirely another. And while you are at it, would it be too much to ask you write complete sentences? I’m not talking about the blog, but the newspaper column too often looks like you just wrote it out on a napkin before you turned it in. Mid- South Philosopher, great post at 3:21

Saxman,
Christianity does not teach pacifism. It teachs self control. If you did a little research on what “And the meek shall inherit the eath”, you will find, that “meek” refers to getting angry when it is justified and not getting angry when it isn’t.
As with the example that Christ set, when he cleared the temple of the money changers and his instructions to his followers of - if you have no sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
Also, after Judas betrayed Christ in the Garden, Peter pulled his sword and cut the ear off one of the High Priests attendents. Christ, healed the severed ear, but he did not condemn Peter for being armed.
So, in the end, your idea, that all Christians should be mild and retiring, is bupkus.
Now, with #2, your right, it is stupid not to take the shot, cemetary or not.

I’ve rethought my earlier criticism of Rep Lewis, and I believe we should honor his proclamation. We should publish to the world, that OBL is free to launch a nuclear attack within John Lewis’s district, and so long as there is no collateral damage beyond those borders, that the US will not use “violence … as a tool of our foreign policy.” Of course, if he hits me in Gwinnett, I repectfully ask Realist to line the desert with glass, in memory of me.
Have a great weekend all, sorry I was not free to play much this week.

JoeD,
We do not need a “valid provable source”. We know what the wench did with the Clenis. Now, absent more facts, we have the God-given power of speculation. And to quote the great not-a-man Conservative Peggy Noonan (who remains suspicously without child): “Is it irresponsible to speculate? It would be irresponsible not to.”
Sound words of Common Sense Right Thinking.

Ok,
I’m leaving a bit early today and have been too busy at my job to really play along today, but just a few reminders for the weekend:
Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld lied to everone about the reasons that we’re currently at war.
Osama Bin Laden is still on the loose.
Iraq was not a terrorist state before the war, and had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks (Dick “Fire at Will” Cheney said so last Sunday on a program that did not air on Fox News called Meet the Press)
Somewhere around 65 percent of this country think Bush is completly off base with regards to what’s happening in Iraq, especially the families of those 2,000 or so soldiers who died for no real reason.
Have a nice weekend.

So, you saw my @3:03 fan letter? Did you like it? Dana and Barbara are right about you. You’re great.
Yeah – about that $20. jbmlaw still wants somebody to pay $1,000 to help him re-establish his credibility? Can you believe that guy? I mean … c’mon.

I have to disagree with TFTT on Van. Poor guy sounded like he actually believed that we found WMD’s in Iraq. Those chemical canisters were empty and more than a decade old. Santorum looked like a fool during his press conference. Nothing like grasping at a few weak straws while trying to save face.

TFTT – Today isn’t my birthday??? You kill me.
Hey, I want to ask you about a post you left earlier. I’ve always respected John Lewis. He seems to support policies that he believes would help people move from poverty into the middle class. In addition, he continues to protest crimes against humanity (for example, he was recently arrested for protesting against genocide in Sudan), he thinks that the NSA should apply the FISA law permitting them to spy on Americans suspected of communicating with foreign terrorists, and he recently came out supporting legislation to strengthen bans on lobbying by former Congressmen.
But then you said something really insightful @10:30 AM. You said “he always looks vexed and angry”. You are so right…he does look vexed and angry. Do you think I might be wrong about him?

Bush consistently linked Hussein to Al Queda. Of course in everyone’s minds, Al Queda = 9/11. Bush implied that Hussein was linked to 9/11 through his connections to Al Queda.
