Good morning, Jim,

I really wish the conservatives and especially the Republican conservatives, if there really is such an animal anymore, would get off this stupid, stupid term…war on terrorism. There is NO war on terrorism. There IS a war on fanatic Islamists who use terrorism as a tactic, and the sooner we wake up to that fact perhaps the sooner the war might be over!

Of course, the liberals and especially the Democratic liberals…excuse me…the Progressives don’t have a clue that there is a war going on at all!

Then, again, we can understand their confusion. The nose-pickers in Congress only passed a resolution, not a declaration, didn’t they?!?

As to the US Chamber of Commerce, AFL-CIO, ACLU alliance for the flow of illegal aliens, it is all a part of the growing corporatist (i.e., capitalist communism) movement that is sweeping the business community in America.

Now don’t get me wrong. Just like all Muslims are NOT Islamists, but all Islamists are Muslims; not all corporations embrace the corporatist philosophy, but all corporatists are found in or connected with corporations. It takes a while to ferret it out.

A Vietnam veteran I know doesn’t wear the American Flag lapel pin, patches, etc. Seems he learned in grade school that the flag should never be worn except as a part of a patriotic uniform. There is nothing patriotic about a politician’s suit.

Good morning all. The “politics of envy” ensures democrat politicians will always have a platform, whether it is to disseminate television decoder vouchers or manufacturing a right for the public to enslave doctors.

The solution to Mr. Woodham’s meritorious case is with the abolition of property tax as a funding source for schools, using the less damaging consumption taxes instead.

I think it is time for us to sacrifice the Federal departments of education and agriculture, to show our commitment to the troops.

Government tax dollars at work – ensuring our Krispy-Kreme munchers spend their useful hours impoverishing mobile billboards instead of policing violent crime.

I had never heard the conclusion of the taped-mouth story, but that puts a spring in my step this morning. I like any judge with the wisdom to will affirm something is stupid but not criminal.

I generally don’t follow athletics outside of baseball, but the Marion Jones story sounds pretty good – at least she realizes she has some “role model” responsibility. Taranto had a funny riff on Obama’s change of pin last Friday, which I quoted in the Saturday “Thinking Right,” but law professor Eugene Volokh has a brilliant insight, http://www.opinionjournal.com/federation/feature/?id=110010712

Yesterday I discussed my ambivalence on the wrong ruling by Judge Breyer. I agree with the sentiment of the ACLU, the AFL-CIO, and the US Chamber of Commerce, in my advocacy for abolition of immigrant quotas. I do not agree with corruption of the law, merely refusing to enforce a law we find distasteful. We have too many laws. A better world would have only a half dozen laws, vigorously enforced.

I cannot improve on Jim Wooten’s rankings, for presidential politics priorities.

The current drought is a minor crisis? When it starts shutting down businesses like car washes, maybe the conservatives will take the brick in the toilet tank seriously.

Yes, nothing like those feel no obligation to act as responsible citizens, and who make fun of others who do. Like the Sandy Springs commissioner who encourages turning a blind eye towards lawbreakers. That’s the kind of spirit our country showed while winning WW II. Don’t let a shared common goal of adequate drinking water deter you from watering your begonias. You’re more important!

Good for Obama. He refuses to join the ranks who think displaying stupid symbols equals real commitment. I bet he doesn’t have a yellow ribbon on his SUV either. How un-American can one be?!?

Jim, Jim, Jim - what an @$$.

1) Hillary is trying to help people (I know you don’t understand the concept of helping others) with the grants. Only a jerk like you would assume poor people would buy a TV instead of investing in their future. Still hating the poor - pathetic.

2) You still have your head up your butt when ignoring global warming and stating that a drought is just a “temporary thing.” Of course you’re still for the war in Iraq - you don’t have a son dying in the army for absolutely no reason.

3) You wrote: “As every leftist knows, true patriotism is trashing America while opposing any military action the country is pursuing.” That just shows how stupid you are. No, true patriotism is not blindly following the government. True patriotism is questioning the government and making sure they’re doing what’s right.

By the way, why are Conservatives against Conserving? Sounds like they just like talking out of both sides of their mouths.

Well, I see the librul idiot Gore got a Noble Prize for running around yelling about global warming. Let him rassle cold beer cases with me this a.m. in this chilly weather and he’ll change his mind right fast. I got no patients with morons.

Glad to see that teacher got off from dragging the kid down the hallway and taping his mouth shut. What kids need these days is a good beating oncet in a while. It will learn them respeck. I got whacked alot in school and it never hurt me none. I growed up with good conservative values and I had the fear of God beat into me and the fear of grownups too. I bet this @@ whacks her kids big-time when nobody is looking.

I think Wooten got it about right about why we need another Republican president. We need a president that will name good conservative judges that will put Those People and the no-gooders in their place and get rid of any laws passed by a librul congress. And we sure need to keep the tax cuts. My pay check would go down two or three bucks if it wasn’t for the tax cuts. And the real rich people wouldn’t be able to afford beer if they was taxed heavy and I would be out of a job and then I couldn’t make the payments on my 60 inch flat screen that I bought all by myself with no guvmint help.

I ain’t going to comment no more about the illegals problem and the librul judge that let them stay and work. I already give you Rednecks Plan yesterday. We could have all the illegals out of this great country in a week if you just let us haul them to the Mexico border in our pickups and dump them.

It needs to be a law to make everybody wear a American flag in the lapel if you got a lapel and put a big Support the Troops ribbon on their pickup. People that take them off need to be arrested and put on trial as traders. Heck, I see SUVs on GA 400 that got half a dozen ribbons. Just to rag the libruls a little, you know. Some of them still got W stickers for the same reason. We’ve had worse presidents but I can’t think of none out here in the cold. Maybe Clinton with his fly open and some intern hanging around on the weekend when nobody is there.

Have a good weekend everybody.

• Cobb County authority figures are having a run of good sense. First, Kell High School principal Trudie Donovan wisely declined to censor an opinion article in the school newspaper, avowing: “My job is the safety and security of the school, not censorship.” And Cobb’s chief magistrate, Judge Frank Cox, noted that it wasn’t smart or appropriate, but not criminal, for a now-departed school system aide in an after-school program to briefly tape a talkative student’s mouth shut. The principal gets an “A.” The judge is on my short list for the next State Court vacancy said Jim Wooten.

Surprise everyone! I agree with Jim Wooten. The native of McRae, Georgia got this one right. Kell High School principal, Trudie Donovan should get an A for wisely declining censorship. Cobb County magistrate, Judge Frank Cox, should be on the short list for the next State Court vacancy.

It’s apparent that we have students who are too weak to stomach an opinion that is in opposition to their own. No harm, no foul. Such students should refuse to read the article or seek to publish an opinion favorable to how they see the world. They do have the right to pressure authorities to censor an article. That’s why it’s important to have authority figures that have good sense.

It’s not smart, appropriate, or criminal for a school system aide to briefly tape a talkative student’s mouth shut. The Judge definitely hit a home run with his decision. But why has the aide left the school system? His/her inappropriate decision should be addressed, but it doesn’t rise to the level of dismissal. Perhaps, there are prior inappropriate decisions on record. Perhaps the aide decided to leave, voluntarily.

• America has no appetite for extended sacrifice, like that required for the long war on terrorism. But it loves minor crises, like short-term droughts, that invite silly gestures such as unflushed and brick-in-the-tank toilets and the thousand-year crisises like “global warming” about which we can be passionate.

Jim…surely you are not that dadgummed dumb. Your chances of winning power ball is better than being hit by a terrorist. This “short term” water issue is very real. Let’s see how “minor” this “short term” water crises is to you when your tap runs dry.

I’m delighted to see that Dusty has abandoned her fellow crustaceans over on Luckovich’s blog to grace us with her presence here.

Yes, ma’am, it’s much better to confer a $100 million no-bid contract on a party-friendly business firm than to grant a $1,000 deposit to a 401k start-up plan.

And that judge was exactly right about taping the child’s mouth shut—except when it comes to Dusty’s little angel.

Finally, conferring the Nobel Peace Prize on a man who has abandoned his political career and lucrative opportunities to take up a cause to benefit all is a loss of prestige for a former venerable institution. That’s rich, Dusty. Why don’t you finish your morning by kicking a few puppies? I’m willing to bet that if the prize recipient had been a neocon, you would be on the rooftop praising the committee.

Dear jhpoke @ 11:58, you are undoubtedly right. Great quote:

“Suspiciously, Daniel Pearl’s widow is suddenly being lavishly praised by the Treason Lobby. Jane Mayer, co-author of the discredited hit-book on Clarence Thomas, “Strange Justice,” published an article in The New Yorker last week recounting that Mariane Pearl was called by Alberto Gonzales in March with the news that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had admitted to American interrogators that he had personally beheaded her husband and they were going to release the transcript to the press. Mayer wrote: “Gonzales’ announcement seemed like a publicity stunt.”

“Frank Rich followed up with an article in The New York Times saying of Gonzales’ call: “Ms. Pearl recognized a publicity ploy when she saw it.”

“Inasmuch as these are journalists who adjudge George Bush more evil than Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, their perception of reality is to be treated gingerly. But if Ms. Pearl is toying with the idea of becoming the latest liberal cause celebre, she might want to consider the trajectories of the rest of them.

“All the Democrats’ most dearly beloved anti-war/anti-Bush heroes invariably end up in the Teresa Heinz Kerry wing of the nut-house. Scott Ritter went from being a trusted U.N. weapons inspector valiantly defending poor, misunderstood Saddam Hussein from George Bush’s imperialistic war to being just another creep trying to have sex with underage girls.

“Cindy Sheehan once had “absolute moral authority.” Now she’s just a madwoman writing mash notes to Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez.

“Max Cleland was a war hero who lost his limbs as a result of Viet Cong grenades, giving him the stature to gleefully taunt George Bush and Dick Cheney. “Where the hell were you in the Vietnam War?” Cleland responded to Cheney. “If you had gone to Vietnam like the rest of us, maybe you would have learned something about war.”

“Then we learned Cleland was a victim only of his own clumsiness and had dropped the grenade on himself in Vietnam after stopping for a beer.

“Bill Burkett was the left’s most admired military veteran since Benedict Arnold. He claimed Bush had shirked his National Guard duty and said he had the documents to prove it. According to Dan Rather and CBS News, Burkett was a “solid” and “unimpeachable” source who was being attacked by “partisan political operatives.”

“And then Burkett turned out to be a foaming-at-the-mouth loon. He was eventually forced to admit on air that he had “misled” CBS on the phony National Guard documents, which is a little like Hugo Chavez “misleading” Sean Penn. Burkett’s current medical diagnosis: too crazy to be a homeless person.

“The congressional campaign of anti-war Iraq war veteran Paul Hackett was treated in the media as if it were the Second Coming. The New York Times described Hackett adoringly as a “lean 6-foot-4, he is garrulous, profane and quick with a barbed retort or a mischievous joke.” The Times even produced the obligatory quote-ready Republican who said that “Mr. Hackett’s service had caused him to consider voting Democratic.”

“Then we found out with a little more specificity what some of those quick-witted barbs were. Hackett called the president a “chickenhawk,” referred to Bush’s “Bring it on” statement as “the most incredibly stupid comment,” and called Bush “the biggest threat in America.” Yes, he was a veritable Noel Coward, that Hackett.

“Soon, even Rep. Rahm Emanuel and Sen. Chuck Schumer were trying to get Hackett to drop his next political campaign for the U.S. Senate.

“Gen. Wesley Clark was once compared to Eisenhower, which, in mediaspeak, means: “He is virulently anti-Bush.” Democrats were so tickled to have found an anti-war Southerner and retired general, New York Times columnist Bob Herbert asked, is he “just a mirage?”

“Then it turned out the only war Clark wanted to lead was America’s War on Fetuses, declaring that abortion should be legal for any reason until the moment of birth. Soon Clark was buddying around with Michael Moore and Madonna. Also, he claimed he had received calls from “the White House” by which he meant “a think tank in Canada.”

“Last we heard, Gen. Clark was on the alternate list for “Dancing With the Stars.”

“Joe Wilson went from being billed in the media as a trusted adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney and billed (by himself) as an eyewitness to the president’s “lies,” to being an apron-wearing househusband who had been sent on an errand by his wife.

“Not only did he fail to debunk the Niger yellowcake story, he also forgot to bring home the quart of milk his wife had requested. (Wilson is now demanding a congressional investigation into who leaked the classified information that his wife wears the pants in the family.)

“The Joe Wilson celebrity tour officially ended when The Washington Post editorialized: “It’s unfortunate that so many people took (Wilson) seriously” — not the least of whom were reporters at The Washington Post itself.

“Most recently, The New Republic’s “Baghdad Diarist” has been unveiled as a liar, another illustrious chapter in that magazine’s storied history of publishing con men and frauds.

“If conservatives are the ones driven by ideological passions, then why are liberals the ones always falling for laughable hoaxes in support of their anti-war ideological agenda? And if liberal beliefs are true, why do they need all the phony stunts to prove them? How about liberals keep hoaxes out of politics and return them to their rightful place: “proving” Darwinian evolution.”

Nevermind, those were all leftists weren’t they?

Mr. Wooten writes, “America has no appetite for extended sacrifice, like that required for the long war on terrorism.”

One can wonder if Mr. Wooten really means this or was just in a hurry to get out of his office for the weekend.

Given his past attempts to put down anyone who is opposed to the Bush policies in Iraq and the Middle East, most likely Mr. Wooten means what he says.

The remark is a gauling statement of his faith in Americans, especially so in light of a comment made by another person on here who doubted that Mr. Wooten was leading any cheers for staying the course in Vietnam while he was there.

Of course, Mr. Wooten has the means to correct this, if it is indeed a falsehood.

The colonel, who was involved in a follow-up investigation and spoke on the condition he not be named, said the Blackwater guards disarmed the U.S. Army soldiers and made them lie on the ground at gunpoint until they could disentangle the SUV. His account was confirmed by the head of another private security company.

No food and water will cause anyone to do desperate things to stay alive. The drought in the Southeast USA is apparent in the 3-month supply of water available to Atlanta. What happens to the economy if there is no significant rain before the 3-month period? For those of believe the neo-cons are not a danger to society, Ann Coulter held an interview in which SHE SAID “… the Jews need to be transformed to Christians because this is a Christian nation…” To paraphrase her second assertion is “…the Jews may want to consider leaving this country.” Is that an incredible thing to believe?

Why should Democrats, looking at the Democratic nomination process, support you instead of Bill Bradley, a friend of yours, a former colleague in the Senate? What do you have to bring to this that he doesn’t necessarily bring to this process? GORE: Well, I will be offering — I’ll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be. But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I’ve traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country’s economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.

Then you graciously added that Gore gave up his political ambitions. THE PUBLIC GAVE UP HIS POLITICAL AMBITIONS, that’ s who gave it up for him.

I appreciate Gore telling us all about global warming and polluting smokestacks. I would never have noticed if he hadn’t mentioned it. Strange how quite a few real scientists feel a bit queasy about his scientific “facts”.

Maybe Gore will now write another book on how hard it was to get a medal. Only Jimmy Carter can seek the spotlight more than Gore. They both get antsy when nobody is listening to their words of wisdom. Amazingly enough, the world keeps turning anyway.

Rumsfeld attacked, destroyed Al Queda, and captured Osama Bin Laden, who was tried, convicted, and hanged for his offense.

As we attended professional or HS games I would always see dad place his hand over his heart as the National Anthemn played.

I realize now that in spite of our differences, my dad taught me a valuable lesson about life and politics. You can disagree with someone over political issues and both still love your country.

Jack Here: Day 1, Hour 10: Jack has made contact with agent code named Lonewolf, who has provided secret Al Gore documents as follows: Executive Summary • Climate change impacts are happening at lower temperature increases and more quickly than projected. • The Arctic’s floating sea ice is headed towards rapid summer disintegration as early as 2013, a century ahead of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projections. • The rapid loss of Arctic sea ice will speed up the disintegration of the Greenland ice sheet, and a rise in sea levels by even as much as 5 metres by the turn of this century is possible. [Wrong! It will be MUCH worse then this, see below] • The Antarctic ice shelf reacts far more sensitively to warming temperatures than previously believed. • Long-term climate sensitivity (including “slow” feedbacks such as carbon cycle feedbacks which are starting to operate) may be double the IPCC standard. [At least double] • A doubling of climate sensitivity would mean we passed the widely accepted 2°C threshold of “dangerous anthropogenic interference” with the climate four decades ago, and would require us to find the means to engineer a rapid drawdown of current atmospheric greenhouse gas. [Can’t be done. Only thing we could do would be stop emitting them, causing global economic collapse instantly] • Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are now growing more rapidly than “business-as-usual”, the most pessimistic of the IPCC scenarios. [Told you so!] • Temperatures are now within ≈1°C of the maximum temperature of the past million years. • We must choose targets and take actions that can actually solve the problem in a timely manner. [Optimistic b******] • The object of policy-relevant advice must be to avoid unacceptable outcomes and seemingly extreme or alarming possibilities, not to determine just the apparently most likely outcome. [Political CYA!] • The 2°C warming cap is a political compromise; with the speed of change now in the climate system and the positive feedbacks that 2°C will trigger, it looms for perhaps billions of people and millions of species as a death sentence. [A foregone conclusion already] • To allow the reestablishment and long-term security of the Arctic summer sea ice it is likely to be necessary to bring global warming back to a level at or below 0.5°C (a long-term precautionary warming cap) and for the level of atmospheric greenhouse gases at equilibrium to be brought down to or below a long-term precautionary cap of 320 ppm CO2e. • The IPCC suffers from a scientific reticence and in many key areas the IPCC process has been so deficient as to be an unreliable and dangerously misleading basis for policy-making.

Dubya has decided the problem with his agenda is the American public has lost its confidence.

“President Bush has an explanation for why the public is so skeptical of his policies. The problem is not with the policies — it’s with the public.

“We have lost sight of what it means to be a nation willing to be aggressive in the world and spread freedom or deal with disease. And we have lost our confidence in the ability to compete internationally,”

Bush has good propaganda skills, but this goes beyond incredulous.

Press conference: “Mister Bush, what evidence do you point to about WMDs in Iraq?”

“Ohh. Sackama! Hooyeeoh! Knockazonie MA!” Camera to bush slicing up the presidential podium with a sword.

Dear Midsouth Phil,@ 4:06

To put a stop to Clintonian democracy, DO NOT VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT.

There! I’m always willing to help.

Hee Haw: you are correct to point to the bidet/squirtgun controversy as the source of all the immorality in this country. This is why most people are pro-life now. Too many women are carrying the bidet in their purse in the form of a harmless squirtgun, which they allow young children to play with, and the whole things just so disgusting, that I really hope the GOP wins in ‘08.

Newt/Thompson ticket in ‘08

Dusty, You still haven’t figured it out.

It is simply a question of which Democrat you want for the next 8 years!

You still don’t get it!

Did Sonny Perdue ban bidets as part of his water conservation scheme?

I hold that women who live in a home with a bidet are 80% fresher than the same woman with only a shower or bathtub.

Women who employ bidets seem more alert, less prone to have outbursts of histrionics, and more apt to pose for a Brittany Spears photo-op.

So vote no on proposition T, which would limit porcelain fixtures in all new bathrooms.

MidSouth Phil @4:55,

Obviously you have not observed the sterling performance of our Congress led by Democrats. The thought of like leadership running our country is like a nightmare of Halloween replacing Chritmas.

I don’t doubt your qualities are sterling but your party’s leadership is scary. They advocate nothing but cowardice during wartime, high taxes, sorry socialized medicine, ignorance on homeland security, total advancement on government dependency and patriotism as passe’.

They know not what they do. Their expertise is only at complaining and disrupting. I have not seen one Democratic contender for whom I would vote.

We liberals need your vote, Dusty. Please reconsider. Our platform consists of redefining the mission in Iraq to reflect the reality on the ground, instead of the mirage in the desert. We also stand for free national insurance for all Americans. Insurance. Free Insurance for all Americans. Insurance. Free insurance for all Americans.

What kind of insurance are we to provide free for all americans?

healthcare insurance. Lettuce hold the Mayo Clinic to a new breadth of standards: sandwiched between diagnostical and prescriptional freedom, should be a 300 million man pool of insured, (very affordable).

Insurance. Free Insurance. For all.

Dear getalife @ 2:37, you seemingly confuse the Congressional Medal of Honor, rarely awarded for valor in battle, with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, awarded for whatever. Please stablize your mind and join us in celebrating the service of Michael Murphy. Prove to us that there is one leftist out there willing to honor our military.

medial talents like the meddlesome jbmlaw had to give back his own medley of phony medals after he meddled and backpedaled about his own mettle.

That’s why most people are pro-choice now. We simply cant torture future generations with easily spotted in-vitro nincompoops.
