Delightful.    :puke

How much longer before that idiot is sent packing once and for all?

So much for the rule of law.

MadMarchHare called it shortly after the election - there is the very real possibility he won't be going anywhere for a long time.  With control of congress and the Supreme Court, Bush could declare a national state of emergency or martial law or some such, and "ask" that he remain in office until the "crisis" is over.  I was wondering how he was going to wring this situation out of the war on Terrorism, but now it is looking like he might try to leverage the country into a panic over Avian Flu...
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

I read something a little while back that Rumsfield had a ton of money to earn from a bird flu scare.  Something about him owning a lot of stock in the company that would be producing a gazillion vaccines. 

edit-  found something on it-   link

I loved watching Bush kiss McCain's ring yesterday. 

The chickenhawk deferring to the war hero on matters of conscience...  just awesome.

:yay :yay

Thank goodness I have my tin foil hat so the government can't read my thoughts.   ;)
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight.
I once believed in causes too,
I had my pointless point of view,
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.

You have got to be kidding me...
:-D

No, I am not kidding. Because the president had VERY REAL concerns about our national security, he authorized this surveillance.

No, crackhead.  I'm just rolling on the floor laughing that you have audacity to call anyone retarded.

Add it up, folks.

Pentagon spying on law abiding, peaceful citizens--even classifying them as a "threat"--simply because they disagree with the administration.  Bush "authorizing" NSA to spy on citizens.  American citizens detained without a warrant, charges, or access to legal counsel, and held for indefinite amounts of time in secret locations.  The White House secretly paying for reporters to produce op ed pieces in support of their policies, and the Pentagon paying millions to private firms to plant postivie spin articles isn Iraqi newspapers.  The Feds can look at what book you take from libraries, and search your home without informing you until a month later. 

In the so called land of the free.  I'm astounded by how easily most people take all this in stride, assuming that the government knows what's best, and should be trusted.  Fools.
