Could you suck up anymore. Geeesh.

re 3: We learned how to do it onuSP. There’s plenty of time to read stuff like that because, guess what, that flippin’ OCD moron Stefan bans anyone who disagrees with him. Read some articles on this site: You really need to http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com

Good. Now you know how the right felt when all we had was the MSM back 20 years ago. You lefties are such whiners.

Hey Mark the Redneck … I didn’t catch your explanation of how you managed to owe $500,000 of child support for 1 kid. Could you post it again, please? I’m curious about why the judge gave you a special rate of $3,000 a month for 1 kid. Did you threaten to kill the judge, or are you a fucking liar?

Roger – Include vaginamoney and asset split. Adds up in helluva hurry. You fucking idiot.

Now you know what the term “cheap labor conservative” means.

“explain to me what fucking business government has in subsidizing recreation”

Well gee, Mark TR, as I’ve posted before, I’m against taxpayer subsidies for football and baseball stadia, basketball arenas, and NASCAR tracks.

OK, now it’s your turn: Explain to me what fucking business our federal government has protecting and perpetuating the slave labor camps on Saipan, and why U.S. retailers should be able to sell the garments made in those camps by foreign slave laborers with “Made in U.S.A.” labels?

Well, a liar, anyway. Given your attitude toward women, it’s hard to imagine any woman letting you fuck her. So the adjective “fucking” probably shouldn’t be used to describe you, because you’ve probably gotten very little fucking in your miserable lifetime.

Mark The Villiage Idiot Reddick

“Include vaginamoney and asset split. Adds up in helluva hurry. ”

Especially for an asshole sperm doner like you, dipshit.

Clue Phone: MTR, quit getting women pregnant and then expecting them to raise a family in your single wide trailer.

Hey MTR don’t expect any sympathy on this blog — we can’t think of a nicer guy for it to happen to!!! Next time go to Aurora Avenue, it’s cheaper! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Doofus @3

You should talk! Wingnuts like you are experts at sucking up. But for what? You don’t think the Republican power brokers who are amassing all of America’s wealth in their own pockets will share any of it with you, do you?

Comment by Roger Rabbit— 2/24/06 @ 9:48 pm

WTF are talking about. The tax rates are low and the military is strong. That is all we republicans ask.

Doofus “The tax rates are low and the military is strong. That is all we republicans ask.”

And deficits are at record levels, job growth is non existant, and middle class wealth is shrinking.

Your NeoCons ask too much.

That is why you are gonna be as dead as the Dodo, come Novemnber.

Everyone call Seatac and tell them Goldy is keestering meth!

“Thirty years ago the average annual compensation of the top 100 chief executives in the country was 30 times the pay of the average worker. Today it is 1000 times the pay of the average worker. A recent article in The Financial Times reports on a study by the American economist Robert J. Gordon, who finds ‘little long-term change in workers’ share of U.S. income over the past half century.’ Middle-ranking Americans are being squeezed, he says, because the top ten percent of earners have captured almost half the total income gains in the past four decades and the top one percent have gained the most of all – ‘more in fact, than all the bottom 50 percent.’

” … In the words of Louis Brandeis, one of the greatest of our Supreme Court justices: ‘You can have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, or democracy, but you cannot have both.'”

GOP = robber barons

Wow! This thread already has 34 comments! That’s more than Stefan’s pathetic little blog gets in a week.

GOP = Cynical Killers without conscience

Stefan won’t share the loot from his lawsuit against King County with the generous donors to your �legal action fund� who paid for the lawsuit because:

[ ] 1. He’s a selfish prick,
[ ] 2. He can’t hold a job and needs the money,
[X] 3. What loot? his lawsuit has no merit and will be summarily dismissed,
[ ] 4. All of the above.

Did anyone ever tell Chucklenuts the story about Chicken Little?

Most of it,RR, is being done by Republicans, but you have to admit that “centrist” Democrats are no slouches either when it comes to this selling us out to the corporations. What is it we think we need from them anymore?

Corporations are the enemy of the living. We either need to find a way to control them or , if that’s not possible, to destroy them. They will eventually self-destruct, but will it be too late by then?

As people becomemore sophisticated about what corporations are really all about you will see communities ,as they are with WalMart now, fighting to keep them out.

Why don’t we organize a “shopper’s strike” against WalMart? What are they gonna do — fire us? close the damn store? The surest way to close a WalMart is to try to unionize it.

“Most of it,RR, is being done by Republicans, but you have to admit that ‘centrist’ Democrats are no slouches either when it comes to this selling us out to the corporations.”

Yeah, I realize that’s a problem, but it’s an internal problem we have to take care of within the Democratic Party, and we don’t need any Republicans for that job. And it’s a trivial problem compared to the rape of the working and middle classes by the GOP.

Corporations became evil when they became “people”.

Corporations as “people” are sociopaths, bent on nothing but their own profit. As such they need strict oversite and regulation.

Nothing wrong with profit. But a Person who would kill, lie, cheat, and defoul anything in its wake only for profit, is a sociopath.

The Marianas Island slave labor camps are a REPUBLICAN scandal.

“Governor Kean knows as much as anyone how risky it is to deal with the United Arab Emirates,” said Rep. Peter King (news, bio, voting record), R-N.Y., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee and a leading opponent.

“This just proves that no real investigation was ever conducted, and it’s unfortunate that he and the other 9/11 commissioners were not contacted before the government approved this.”

The former head of the CIA’s Osama bin Laden unit joined in the criticism.

“The fact that you are putting a company in place that could already be infiltrated by al-Qaida is a silly thing to do,” said Mike Scheuer, who headed the CIA unit until 1999″

Get it, marks?

Yet?

The U.A.E financed and provided personnel for the attacks of 9/11.

Now Bush wants a U.A.E OWNED company to operate 21 US Ports. Bush threatens his first ever veto to anyone to stop the deal with the terrorist supporting country.

marks, says “OK with me!”

The vast majority of the US says “Hell No! We do not want terrorist supporting countries running our ports!” Both Democratic, and Republican Congress people do not support the anti-American, terrorist-loving deal.

marks claims “racism!” marks further reveals that he never even knew that the company was owned by U.A.E. He “thought” it was just based there.

What a dumbshit clown for the Democracy hating NeoCons.

Why does marks hate America?

Only marks can answer that.

But sources say he just doesn’t think before he knee jerks a NeoCon response.

Church politicking ‘disturbing’ to IRS

http://insider.washingtontimes.....5713-3644r

It has been disturbing to most of us for a long time. Happy to see that the IRS is finally doing something about it.

1. Bush and his UAE connections: “A sheik from the United Arab
Emirates contributed at least $1 million to the Bush Library Foundation, which established the George Bush Presidential Library at Texas A&M University in College Station.”
2. UAE has had ties to terrorist networks, according to the Sept. 11 Commission report. It was one of the few countries in the world that recognized the al-Qaida-friendly Taliban government in Afghanistan; al-Qaida funneled millions of dollars through the U.A.E. financial sector; and A.Q. Khan, the notorious Pakistani nuclear technology smuggler, used warehouses near the Dubai port as a key transit point for many of his shipments.

The White House, last week, turned over 250 pages of emails from Vice President Dick Cheney’s office. Senior aides had sent the emails in the spring of 2003 related to the leak of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald revealed during a federal court hearing Friday.

The emails are said to be explosive, and may prove that Cheney played an active role in the effort to discredit Plame Wilson’s husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, a vocal critic of the Bush administration’s prewar Iraq intelligence, sources close to the investigation said.

Sources close to the probe said the White House “discovered” the emails two weeks ago and turned them over to Fitzgerald last week. The sources added that the emails could prove that Cheney lied to FBI investigators when he was interviewed about the leak in early 2004. Cheney said that he was unaware of any effort to discredit Wilson or unmask his wife’s undercover status to reporters.

To all and Sundry: I want you all to know that what GBS did to JCH[POS] yesterday was Hyas Skookum. GBS, I know your not out there right now, but I want you to know you are tyee tillikum in my book.

If we had no reason for a war on terror we would have to invent oneto keep the defense industry flush. We are the only country in history that has beaten its plowshares into swords.

But don’t you feel better that Bush and his cronies can continue to make obscene profits off this stuff and also quash freedom.

Calling all wingnuts…

“The report documents 117 campus incidents as “evidence’’ of anti-Americanism.”

You know, this is the kind of shit that really pisses me off. I’ve got a copy of the report concerned, Defending Civilization right here on my desktop, and it’s not much more than an anit-liberal screed with page after page of anecdotal “evidence” that purports to claim an imbalance in the intellectual life on American campuses. I call it a “screed”, because it progresses from a flawed thesis: that it was the responsibility of the academy to respond to Sept. 11th in exactly the same way the report perceives the American public to have done: “with anger, patriotism, and support of military intervention.” We are then offered copious examples of such failure to react in lockstep with the rest of America.

The last time I checked, it was not the mission of most universities to react in lockstep with the masses, nor was “Americanism” (whatever that might be) a central value or concept to be upheld by universities. If this were the case, we might as well write that into the policy manuals of all US universities, do away with all hiring of non-US citizens, and remove all curricular content that might prove controversial and/or challenge previously accepted views of historical matter.

ACTA also paints a crisis in its most recent “report”, Intellectual Diversity: Time for Action, in the purported paucity of “conservative” faculty members. This leaves me with two questions:
1) Where are all these “conservative” academics, and;
2) Why aren’t they applying for jobs?

There is no evidence given of discrimination in the hiring process based on a candidate’s political views. I’ve been involved in at least half a dozen faculty searches in the past few years, and have never once seen the candidate’s political views be an issue — it’s not even a criterion in the application process. Sure, in my field such views would be tangential at best, and in many other fields almost completely irrelevant, but even in the more politically charged environments on campus (many disciplines in the Humanities might fall into this category) I still don’t know of any such discrimination.

A propos port security…

[JCH]: Since you are a conservative born-again after-birth, do you even know what an ANABAPTIST is? I doubt it.

Janet S: Do you know of any right wing web sites that Gody will not let his readers post a link to?

I’ll save you the time. There are none.

Stefan, at uSP, has banned this one on his blog: http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com His explanation is that the articles in it are “inappropriate”.

Take a look at the website —- or do ideas that you don’t like so scary and “inappropriate” that you , like Stefan, ban them.

You are a totally transparent hypocrite, Janet S., and your clitoris is the size of a mango. [JCH] told me.

“Professors are a protected insular class of demogogues who have decided that they are just smarter than everyone else, and should be able to run the world.”

Janet — with all due respect, you are full of shit.

First of all, have you ever been a university professor, let alone worked at a university. Or perhaps you have, in some other way through direct experience, learned of the intellectual life and discourse amongst professors on university campuses? If not, then on what grounds are you basing your assertions?

Secondly, do you know the actual definition of “demagogue”? Your post suggests you do not, and I encourage you to look it up, to ensure that you are using the term correctly.

Now, to address a couple of your points:
“Students want to record their lectures, which is a common practice. Are the professors afraid that what they are saying might make it out of the classroom?”

Students do not have the unlimited right to record lectures. They may do so with the professor’s permission, of course, but there are professors I know of who do not allow recording devices in their classrooms for a variety of reasons, personal and professional, but heretofore I have not heard of anyone prohibiting such devices out of a fear by being “blacklisted” by a hysterical right-wing organization. (Given the current political climate in this country, this might very well change.) Even with such stated opposition to recording devices, such professors must comply with university policies that allow for such devices being present when necessary, i.e. in the case of students with disabilities. (It’s a bit unfair to ask a quadriplegic to take notes, for instance, and even more unfair to ban such students from classes because they have no alternative to note-taking by hand.)

“Yes, something might be taken out of context. That is what open discussions are for.”

What exactly are these “open discussions” of which you speak? Certainly the “reports” issued by blatantly partisan operations like ACTA aren’t exactly “open discussions” of the merits of “academic freedom”. (That last term smacks of a cynical sort of doublespeak: you’re free to say whatever you want, so long as it doesn’t contradict previously accepted cultural narratives.)

“I’m betting there has been a lot of intellectual bullying going on in classes, and the students WHO PAY FOR IT ALL are tired of it.”

You can go ahead and keep betting, but until you have some hard factual evidence to back this up, that’s all you’ll be doing.

“There is no diversity of opinion on campus these days.”

Again, I’d like some evidence. Ever attended a facutly senate meeting? Ever been involved in the discussion of curricular issues? Are you aware of the ongoing symposia faculty representatives attend — in addition to their often overloaded responsibilities of teaching, scholarship, and service to the university (and community, in many cases) — in an effort to reform their curricula to make it both more competitive and effective? I doubt receive the scores of emails and other communications that I do during the course of a typical semester dealing with such issues, so I have to doubt that you’re in much of a position to speak authoritatively on such issues.

Mr Tappman – I always respect an argument that ends with sex-ual insults. It shows that you are a very deep and considerate thinker.

Surveys have shown that the percentage of professors who vote dem is about 80-90%. Same goes for journalists in the MSM. It doesn’t mean that there is discrimination, it is more like self-selection. It is also a mindset. If you are a strong individualist looking to make a good home and family, you will tend to look where the most opportunity is, and probably find business. If you are out to save the world and right all the wrong in society, you might more likely look toward academia or journalism. A generalization, I know.

“Surveys have shown that the percentage of professors who vote dem is about 80-90%.”

Do you mean “who are registered as Democrats”? Even so, political affiliation is not a reliable indicator of lecture content. I know that might be hard for some right-wingers to swallow — that a “liberal” college professor might actually not only lecture on points of view diametrically opposed to his or her own, but even encourage such discourse in the classroom — but it is true.

Here’s something that a college professor probably won’t tolerate: a close-minded student who prefers the rabid spewing out of prefabricated talking points in place of a reasoned debate. I’ve seen these students at work — on both sides of the political spectrum — and they are very often impervious to both facts and differing points of view, insofar as they both might challenge their comfortable world view.

HOW ABOUT A FEDERAL JUDGE TAKING OVER THEIR ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF DC — THIS IS NOT HUMANE – IF FEDERAL JUDGES CAN TAKE OVER POLICE DEPTS. AND SCHOOL – THIS SEEMS A WORTHY PROJECT.

BIGGEST PART OF THIS PROBLEM IS —- WHO GIVES A SHIT — AND NO REPORTING BY MEDIA —

Heard somewhere that the Bush people have sold several of the Aleutian Islands to Russia. possible settlement of old claims.

And, so mentioned, the Russians are drilling for gas and oil. Another Bush pay back from the Russian Mafia?

More info RR?? – you are an ace at fishing this stuff from the vapors and cyber particles.

“We are the only country in history that has beaten its plowshares into swords.”

Not really. The neoCONS are following a well worn path in the footsteps of such historical luminaries as Genghis Khan, Caligula, the Crusaders, Napoleon, Kaiser Willie, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and others.

In the Giant World Scheme of Things –Think of the value of a degreee from Bob Jones University or Liberty Bell University —yes, RR. those are the models for advanced education, where the home and charter schoolers go.

And of course the Christian college age virgins, both sexes, get engaged — no sexual contact, abstinance, and enter the modern world prepared for the rosy future working at W Mart with grandma.

Tappman – you are over the top in some of your remarks. Just go beat off with your plastic doll and quit insulting the women. Sexist pig – give a shit if you are right or left. And your fantasies will work at other sites.

Tiresome and dull, and boring.

Here we have Janet S (aka Kevin Carnes) weighing in with her flighty opinion. Geez and here I thought Janet S was dead or something, because I hadn’t seen her/his/its posts for a while. Oh well. To put a happy face on it, if that’s possible, I guess we need at least one apologist for McCarthyism on this board — just to keep things lively.

“Students want to record their lectures, which is a common practice.”

Hey Janet aka Paragon of Free Debate, try taking a tape recorder into a Bush “town hall” and see what happens.

“ought there not to be a smattering of closed-minded, asshole professors who will brook no intellectual dissent from their students?”

On some topics, there SHOULD be closed-mindedness. For example, I don’t think academe should tolerate advocates of racial separation, Nazism, or witch-burning.

People go into business because they want money or because that’s what their interests and aptitudes lay, not because they have more family values than people in other occupations. In fact, to the contrary, small business owners and corporate ladder climbers often spend so much time working they neglect their families and end up divorced.

As for the “blame America first” charge, what’s wrong with a little introspection, self-reflection, and self-criticism? I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it — if they let people think about our right wing government’s endless fuck ups, they might do something about it — like vote our right wing government out of office.

Comment on 82

Good Reverend — I know you mean well, but you misunderstand the nature of both law professors and law students. There is a good deal more do-gooder sentiment in law schools than you realize. To quote an old law school cliche: “A students become professors, B students become judges, and C students make money.”

Let’s see, how many failed experiments did Edison conduct before he came up with a light bulb that worked? As I recall, it was over 2,000. Now there’s an example of a guy who did “lots of silly irrelevant research.”

What do you think of Ward Churchill’s writings , Janet S.? Things he actually wrote that you read all by yourself eithout some righty commentator telling you what to think.

I think that I would not be conversing with you, but instead with the person’s views that you are parrotting.

Janet S:

Regarding those survey results, I challenge you to cite a specific study that was published in a reputable, peer-reviewed journal.

In the meantime, I invite you to untangle your anti-intellectualism from your partisanship. You seem to be equating Democrats = biased teaching = irrelevant research priorities. If I am correctly interpreting you, that strikes me as vastly overreaching.

I’ve worked in journalism and higher ed., and am hardly a knee-jerk defender of either. However, I get tired of ill-informed, broad-brush “bashing” exercises because it isn’t helpful if the goal is meaningful institutional reform. For example, you complain about faculty who don’t talk to students. In my experience, there are two reasons for this phenomenon: Increasingly large class sizes, and faculty evaluation criteria that emphasize publishing over teaching.

I get the impression that you work in political “p.r.” Yes, that’s a tough field, but you know what? I strongly suspect that the professors I know who are dedicated to meeting student needs work longer hours and get paid considerably less than you do.

Reply to 87

This involves the location of the boundary between Russia and the U.S. in the Bering sea. The U.S.-U.S.S.R. Maritime Boundary Agreement
of 1991 left to further negotiation the question of sovereignty over several small islands and rocks. This proposed treaty apparently was rejected by Russia, and it appears the U.S. observes it under an Executive Order.

An official State Department Fact Sheet published in 2003 stated:

“No negotiations regarding the U.S.-Russia maritime boundary have occurred since 1990, when the U.S.-USSR Maritime Boundary Agreement was signed. The negotiations that led to that agreement did not address the status of Wrangel Island, Herald Island, Bennett Island, Jeannette Island, or Henrietta Island, all of which lie off Russia’s Arctic coast, or Mednyy (Copper) Island or rocks off the coast of Mednyy Island in the Bering Sea. None of the islands or rocks above were included in the U.S. purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867, and they have never been claimed by the United States, although Americans were involved in the discovery and exploration of some of them.”

When this fact sheet was published, various right wing web sites went ballistic, telling their readers (among other things) that the “cession” of these islands to Russia not only jeopardized U.S. national security but also gave away vast oil reserves rivaling those of the Middle East, which were not being exploited solely due to environmental restrictions. See, e.g., http://www.statedepartmentwatch.org/FactSheet.htm, http://www.newsmax.com/archive.....5309.shtml, and http://www.newsmax.com/archive.....3807.shtml.
For an Atlantic Monthly article about the issue, see http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/prem/200102/rubin (subscriber access only).

I don’t know of any new developments since 2003 involving this issue.

The right wing complaint, as I understand it, is that the State Department and Bush administration should assert U.S. claims to these islands and rocks, instead of concluding there is no legal basis for such claims.

Janet @88

“When you can have a discussion without gratutious insults, I’ll respond.”

That’s like us saying, “When you can discuss Iraq without calling us ‘unpatriotic’ or ‘un-American’ or ‘commies,’ we’ll respond.” Sorry, it doesn’t work that way. Bush lied about WMDs in Iraq. He fixed the intelligence around the policy. Even if removing Saddam was a good idea anyway, Bush’s policy of allowing the CIA and military to torture Iraqis blew any chance of gaining popular Iraqi support for the U.S. invasion, and probably ensured a U.S. defeat in Iraq. The fact the Republican idiots responsible for this mess call us names doesn’t mean we shouldn’t talk about what their stupidity and corruption is costing our country and American taxpayers.

HOMELAND SECURITY DEPARTMENT OPPOSED PORT DEAL

Associated Press reported today: “The Homeland Security Department objected at first to a United Arab Emirates company’s taking over significant operations at six U.S. ports.”

http://articles.news.aol.com/n.....8;cid=2194

Janet S.: I am not hearing from you on this Ward Churchill thing. You have, in the past, expressed strong feelings on what you think should happen to Ward Churchill and how he should lose his position at university in Colorado. But did you ever give the man you wanted to hang out to dry the courtesy of reading even ONE thing that he wrote that wasn’t some out of context passage from a right wing magazine.

Rev. T—- 1

Janet S.—0

I’m winning. That’s why you are under represented at universities — because you are dishonest and have no intellectual curiousity.

Here’s a quote from Ronald Reagan when he was asked to explain why he was against student loans: “Why should the private sector have to subsidize intellectual curiousity?”

I never thought the day would come, but I have to agree with Roger that the deal to allow the UAE company to control some parts of the harbor operations is a bad thing for the US. I think this thing has been completely botched by this whitehouse and we should not have any foreign companies control a vital part of our economy.
The history and the connection of the UAE (as many so eloquently state) is enough to warrant suspicion of this deal.

And while we are up there, I hope congress in their unity will now not worry about pulling out Arab males (of females as we have seen female suicide bombers already) traveling light in airport controls, making sure they are scrutinized correctly based on their possible connection etc.
A few weeks back I was traveling with my 80 year old mother when she was pulled out and almost strip searched at the airport control, while two Arab males just went through unhindered and unchecked. Weird

I’m glad Roger and Donna et al are now seeing the light there as well.
Thanks

Rev – why would I want to talk to someone who is hung up on “dirty talk”? I suspect the mark of a small mind.

Okay, I take back the comment about those persuing academia or journalism to be less family oriented than those who go into business. But I maintain the “saving the world” mind set. There is nothing wrong with it, someone has to do it. But don’t expect to get rich doing so.

One of the problems at universities these days is the way it is all funded. Students who get degrees benefit the most, and yet we seem to find new and different ways to keep them from paying for it. State schools charge only a fraction of what it costs, and private schools give scholarships and aid pretty easily to good students. But somehow, it never seems to result in lower college costs. The cost of college, if you consider the full cost and not the subsidized cost, has risen faster than even health care.

This is a simple economics problem – if the govt subsidizes, the price of the good rises to accommodate the subsidy. Professors are paid quite well in some institutions, particularly if they do a lot of writing and consulting on the side. Others struggle. But, if you can’t make a living at it, don’t do it. Go find a job outside of academia, or stop griping.

Research will happen even if the university system doesn’t fund it. Private business should be paying for it since they will reap the benefits. Pharmaceuticals and biotechs are doing lots of research, some of it independent, some in conjunction with academia. As long as both benefit, I’m fine with it. I am not a fan of the govt paying for lots of research that then is cashed in on by some company jumping in.

Janet S. #125: Read what your cohort wrote at #126. Then You lecture me about nipples the size of pie plates and a clitoris the size of a ripe, juicy mango!!

I’m tired of trying to get through to you about higher education.

You moonbats against UAE operating ports… did you ever stop to think that those horrible brown people who are (according to you) all terrorists… are the ones who load nearly ALL the ships that come here? So the question is…. should Murka stop accepting shipments from foreign ports that are managed by that foreign country? Should we “invade” every port in the world and put our own kind in there?

Inquiring minds like mine want to know…

MTR — it’s great to see you’ve become a champion of diversity and non-discrimination. I’m not against ARAB companies running U.S. ports, I’m against FOREIGN companies running U.S. ports. That would include white guys from Britain or Canada. I have a problem with giving away American jobs to other countries, get it? Glad to see you’ve adopted the AFL-CIO position. Now you can tell your friends that you’re a fellow traveler of Roger Rabbit and organized labor.

I think the nukes are alreay loaded somewhere in one of the Midle East Ports – waiting shippment for when the Emirs have enough control for their people to let them in.

Then they are here – for use in the politics of the fanatics or blackmail.

Mark the Dog Breath, you are foolish. America is First, and no one in their right mind wants to send control of any major infrastructure to Arab Kings. Send you kid there for schooling. Or you daughters to the whore houses of the Emirs. They like blonds, unspoiled.

Interesting how hard it is for you to think. and separate issues.

Remember, we finallyu stop selling scrap to the Japanese prior to Pearl harbor.

If Mr. Cynical had bought NOV at $58 like I told him to, he could have sold three months later at $75, an annualized return of almost 120%.

Israel will bomb Iran.

Bet on it.

You may support Israel or like the pervasive Arab rhetoric about destroying it, but they have been 100 per cent honest with the world.

If thretened with desrtuction, they will strike first, and defend themselves with all means possible. We all know they have a large nuke arsenal and every type of modern weapons.

They may have secret long range missiles or would use planes that would not return.

They will not willingly go into oblivion without the fiercest of fights.

I am very pro Israel. The blood of the Holocaust persuaded me many years ago.

Iran is a big threat.

At the collapse of
Bushie Iraq, Iran will openly intervene with militia and maybe outright with troops.

And as predicted here on this blog by several folks, the civil war seems near.

The Kurds are armed to the teeth, their time to breakaway.

No second generation American ever understood the Irish war between Catholic and Protestant.

Sunni vs. Shite is beyond our comprehension, unless some of us did not grow up in a secular state.

“So it won’t be too much longer before we have to go bomb the fuck out of Iran. Since brown people who really are a threat live there, I assume all you moonbats will be cheering.”

Which “brown” people would those be, Mark? I would imagine that, with a comment like that, you must know of some direct and credible threat from a nation some 7000 miles away. Do they want to kill us, blow us up, kabooom? And on whose authority do we know that?

I’m just wondering, ‘cuz last I checked Osama was still officially alive (according to Bushco) and at large.

Hey Mark, how do you reconcile these two statements, which you made back to back in the same post?

“I just want to clearly establish here that you moonbats judge people 100% by the color of their skin. If they are brown, they are be definition dangerous according to you.”

“Wabbit and others here have correctly stated that “Not all Arabs are terrorists, but all terrorists are Arabs“.

I’m also wondering how much influence the unions are having here. Clearly, there could be an impact to the unions who currently have members at the ports. Is that all this is about? Since the unions have bought and paid for the Dems, is that what’s behind this? Surely it is a factor… probably a major factor in the way this is being presented.

129

“should Murka stop accepting shipments from foreign ports that are managed by that foreign country?”

naaaaa … there’s nuthin’ to worry about. According to Bush, inspecting 1/2 of 1% of the cargo containers entering the U.S. is sufficient — no nuclear bombs in there.

Hey MTR would you please let me know when you’re gonna bomb Iran so I can buy some more oil stocks!!! ha ha ha ha ha ha

“The anti port people here are making the assumption that all arabs are terrorists. I’m saying that’s not true… that while all terrorists are arabs, not all arabs are terrorists and therefore some of them can be trusted.”

You’ve got to be kidding — all terrorists are Arabs? If that were the case, then what the fuck are we doing talking about bombing Iran because there are “terrorists” over there?

Think I’ll post it again… à propos port security…

148

“The anti port people here”

Oh, so now if we’re against a UAE company running U.S. ports, we’re quote anti port unquote people? Is this the new Bushspeak?

Or if you’re in favor of foreign companies running U.S. ports, which is the same thing, you’re “anti-American.” But we already knew that, didn’t?

149

“I’m also wondering how much influence the unions are having here. Clearly, there could be an impact to the unions who currently have members at the ports. Is that all this is about?”

Yeah, I think so. I think Bush’s idea is to get rid of the longshore unions. That’s what it smells like.

It would be consistent with Bush’s blocking the creation of a Homeland Security Department for over a year until he got the anti-union provisions he wanted included in the legislation.

Iraq’s death squads: On the brink of civil war

“Hundreds of Iraqis are being tortured to death or summarily executed every month in Baghdad alone by death squads working from the Ministry of the Interior, the United Nations’ outgoing human rights chief in Iraq has revealed.

“John Pace, who left Baghdad two weeks ago, told The Independent on Sunday that up to three-quarters of the corpses stacked in the city’s mortuary show evidence of gunshot wounds to the head or injuries caused by drill-bits or burning cigarettes. Much of the killing, he said, was carried out by Shia Muslim groups under the control of the Ministry of the Interior.”

Rabbit – I think it’s great that you’ve become a capitalist. Really. You serve as an example to the other moonbats here that free markets are a great thing. If you’ve got money through your own sources, you won’t be lobbying the grouchoandharpoists in FUWA to steal my hard earned money to pay for your stupid choices and lack of character.

“This illustrates why…”

Alright Mark, I’ll dispense with the ad hominems for a moment. What illustrates whatever point you were trying to make?

So let me ask you again:
1. Are all terrorists* Arabs? (A “yes” or “no” will suffice.)
2. If all terrorists are Arabs, then what the fuck kind of business would this country have in attacking Iran?

*Note that I, like GWB, am not defining exactly what a “terrorist” is. For the sake of these questions, just consider “terrorist” to be whatever the term might mean to you.

Hey MTR how come you got married without checking out the consequences of Washington’s community property laws? ha ha ha ha ha

Betcha MTR had to pay HER lawyer fees, too! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

E – Because your brain is so addled by dope that you can’t follow simple logic. That’s why you work at Laughingstock U and the only job you can get is leeching off those of us who pay all the fucking taxes.

Hey MTR did you get married in Vegas after she got you drunk in a hotel room? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

“Because your brain is so addled by dope that you can’t follow simple logic. ”

Sorry Mark, there was no simple logic to follow. In fact, you posted nothing other than an ad hominem non-response. Just FYI, the ad hominem argument in all its varieties is inherently illogical. So, (ad hominem follows) put that in your pipe and smoke it.

FIVE HUNDRED BIG ONES!!! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

MARK- you are a phony patiot – the Bush cult is a crimnal conspiracy. Just trust us. The Emirs do not have your best interests at heart. OK.

And yes, Iran is a problem. No simple problem. Nukes all over the Globe are a problem. Either the US or Israel willl hit Irn. Don’t be so stupid. No invasion, all their research sites.

RR, this has already happened once, right? 15 years ago.

Iran and Iraq are pieces of the old Persian Empire. Is that your point — with a big dose of Greek, Arab, and African.

Mother Biology does alway win this silly idea of rracial / ethnic / national purity. That is why the Iraqui are so handsome as a people – hybrids.

Brazil is going nuke.

185

“RR, this has already happened once, right? 15 years ago.”

Not in Iran. Israel bombed an above-ground reactor in Iraq. Learning from Saddam’s experience, Iran has dispersed and undergrounded their nuclear facilities, which makes it far harder to take out their nuclear program.

Might need to use plane-dropped bunker busters, though.

Since MTR seems to have considerable difficulty in answering two simple questions, let’s give him the Bongload U multiple-guess questions he might be able to handle…

Vagimony – gosh, what a word.

Hey moonbats – I’m working on an OO architecture project, but I’m struggling with how to apply Pubsub in a MVC pattern. Do any of you have any practical experience in this area?

Oooh! That Mark the Redneck is soooo smart! I’ll bet he is the smartest guy in the whole world because he is working on an OO architecture project!

I just know he will figure out how to apply Pubsub in a MVC pattern. Nobody else in the whole widest world could do it!

Harris Got Illegal Donations

“A defense contractor who pleaded guilty Friday to bribing a California congressman told federal authorities he also funneled illegal campaign contributions to U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris of Longboat Key, who’s running for the U.S. Senate.”

Et cetera…

Keep crying “racism” on Patriots who do not want a Terrorist Supporting State owned company running 21 US Ports, Mark The Rake.

Hating America seems to be your strong suit.

Dr. E, that really breaks my heart! Isn’t she the same righteous Katherine Harris that pulled every trick in the book to squash minority voters in Florida when she was SOS? Another one of the Bush Brigade is gonna bite the bullet………… the house of cards and mirrors and lies is a tumbling down….

The very same.

Heh — I was just thinking that. Where has Bushco been on Yongbyon these days, anyway?

Why Iran matters.

(Click through to the various country briefs, as well as to “Export Issues”.)

Perhaps the biggest mystery on the Planet at this moment — the real fate of all the Nukes — the many thousand of all varieties – from old days USSR arsenal.

Are there claims from the CIA that all is well with all that stuff? Wonder what Euro experts think? Bush would lie to the moon on this one.

Scattered about in ten nations, includes waste and armed nuke subs and in progress experiments — old and new working bomb —

With Billions of Oil Money wanting to buy.

Just thinking of it gets me scared and wondering about mountain caves to survive.

“Bin Laden’s terrorists found “deep-pocket contributions, government assistance”

Yeah lets hand control for 21 US Ports the the U.A.E government owned Dubai Ports World.

They have extensive experience in funding and supplying terrorists. And as far as ports are concerned, U.A.E ports were used as a key transfer point for illegal shipments of nuclear components to Iran, North Korea and Lybia.

Yeah, RUFUS, I am glad you are enjoying it.

Never gonna find a NeoCon talking about US Security unless it is to find a way to steal an election or make money off it.

“What do you donks know about port secutity?”

Enough to know better than to have a Terrorist Financing and Supporting Government run them.

Every Republican along with all the rest of fair minded people would welcome a re-registration of all voters. The democrats do not. “Prima facie” evidence that donks are cheats. Donks are all talk and no action when coming to election reform. And it is obvious why.

Voting for George W. Bush is just as stupid as killing people over cartoons. The “Evil Ones” in case you haven’t noticed is a cartoon image of a complex reality that GWB uses to motivate dildoes like MTR to hate and kill — except for the port security business endorsed by president monkey butt.

@ 230

LOL, I dare you to try and make sense out of that post!

Sorry klake, the dunce hat is for you. Go back and read the original posts from which your quote came. You can, however, redeem yourself by taking the simple quiz (see various posts above) which MTR has either refused to take. (Who knows, maybe he’s still researching the answers?)

Ready? Here we go…

Iranians are:

Question No. 3:
Jemaah Islamiyah are:

Hey wingnuts – how many of you think that Iranians actually are Arabs? Just wondering…

Comment by Dr. E— 2/25/06 @ 5:34 pm
Dr. E you can stay on that high chair the Iranians are Persains not Arab’s.

I think what Rufus is trying to say is:

“My NeoCon world is falling around me; The Iraq Civil War; The Horrible Economy; Selling Port Operations to Terrorist Supporting States; Vice President Shooting Old Men in the Face; Ken Lay; Scooter Libby; Duke Cunningham; DeLay; … it goes on and on…”

Inflation was so bad under Carter that if you didn’t drive fast enough to the grocery store you ran low on money.

The terrorists klake thinks are living in my neighborhood are:
[ ] a. Arabs.
[ ] b. not Arabs.
[ ] c. Bush supporters.
[X] D. Democrats on the phone.

Ding ding ding ding. Correct!!!

It is too late to prevent N Korea from getting the bomb now so we have to contain them. That is what we get with donks in control. We need to stop Iran from getting the bomb. The government cant be trusted.

#251 Don’t forget N Korea got the bomb under Your Fearless Leader Bush’s watch.

They were contained under Clinton.

At least with Clinton there was an attempt at rapprochement with the DPRK. Bushco took any semblance of progress and flushed it right on down the toilet. Come to think of it, Bushco took just about all progress made during the Clinton years and flushed it right on down the toilet.

Nice comeback Klake, I know thinking gets difficult with your tiny little microcephallic brain. Can’t argue facts so you go for the slur. You elitist motherfucker. Don’t even know your own state has a Vancouver.

Hmmm progress under Clinton. Well the Chineese finally got ICBM technology under Clinton. The N Korean were helped with their Nuclear reactor. With progress like this who cares about enemies.

Klake, go read something other than Powerline or the Rush Report. Inflation began increasing under the Repugs in the mid-70s. Clinton did not give the N Korea’s the technology to build nukes, they had it and were being carefully watched until Bushco, the eternal bumblers and incompetents let then out of their contract.

Don’t try to comment on the discussions here if you are too fuckin stoopit to know your correct HISTORY.

Geez Klake and Rufus. You 2 are such sissies. Mention a couple of inconvenient, commonly known facts and you run. Kinda like your hero-in-chief …. (pick one, Bush, Cheney, Rush, etc etc etc, it’s the common thread amoungst the righties in charge).

Look at Couver run his mouth. You haven’t won shit donk boy. I guess using “couver logic” Clinton rode on the coat tales of the Reagan economy since the boom years started with the Reagan administration. You are learning. Clinton was watching a lot of different things back in his presidency, especially interns. Hehehehehe

Spare me… Do anyone really want their 14 year old daughter hopping on public transit with crazy people, repeat sex offenders, drunks & bums… just to get to school & back… please!

Then once you get them into school you have to deal with all the crazy people, repeat sex offenders, drunks & bums at the school. You know the teachers. Those teachers have one helleva union contract.

Bushco has behaved like the neighborhood bully who beats up the kid with the biggest sandbox and steals all his toys – and then, just to be spiteful, takes a huge diarrheic shit in the sandbox before he leaves.

““Government does not tax to get the money it needs; government always finds a need for the money it gets.” Ronald Reagan (1911-2004), 40th US President

Reagan wasn’t much of a political scientist, or economist either. If this piece of reaganbullshit was true, there would never be a deficit, because government would only spend the money it gets.

re 274: How’s that “war on drugs” going. Looks like not so good.

So who’s getting rich on this “war on drugs”? You know what, if you win the war on drugs you kill the gravy train. That’s why crooked Republicans can’t win it.

285

And to boot – the R’s changed many of the rules to make it look better. Changes in part time and seasonal to get better stats.

Who would have guessed that they lie here too.

@ 288

I agree. Change the word “Sonics” to Enron, Halliburton, or any other big corporation, and you’d agree too, right?

re 288: When you can say the same thing to Boeing and WalMart we’ll finally be on the same page.

I like sports! I just can’t figure out why taxpayers should subsidize owners, so that they can pay outrageous salaries to the players.

I guess I am missing the Enron/Halliburton connection. Enron was a case of fraud, Halliburton does business with the govt and is paid for it.

I think Starbucks is a great company, and Schultz is quite a brilliant entrepreneur. That doesn’t mean I think he should demand money for his toys from the taxpayer. If he wants a bigger stadium, he can go build it. Will Seattle suffer with the loss of the Sonics? I suspect not.

“Clinton rode on the coat tales of the Reagan economy …”

He sure did — Clinton rode into the White House on the coattails of the Reagan Depression under the slogan, “It’s the economy, stupid!”

Ronald Reagan presided over the second worst depression of the 20th century.

Now let’s take a look at the job-creation records of 20th century presidents:

Jobs Records of Presidents
(as percentage of workforce)

Democrat Roosevelt 5.3%
Democrat Johnson 3.8%
Democrat Carter 3.1%
Democrat Truman 2.5%
Democrat Clinton 2.4%
Democrat Kennedy 2.3%
Republican Nixon 2.2%
Republican Reagan 2.1%
Republican Coolidge 1.1%
Republican Ford 1.1%
Republican Eisenhower 0.9%
Republican Bush Sr. 0.6%
Republican Bush Jr. (0.7%)
Republican Hoover (9.0%)

Notice the worst Democrat did better than the best Republican!

Which is exactly why Bush wants to flood the country with millions of immigrant “guest workers.”

Actually, the rest of the world — or a good part of it — IS a shithole. When I arrived in Vietnam, the first thing I noticed was the smell. The whole country smelled like an outhouse. That’s because they didn’t have any outhouses, they took a shit wherever they happened to be standing, which was usually in a rice paddy. I’m not kidding, the whole damn country reeked of human feces. Millions and millions of people taking one or more shits every day, and no place to flush it to. I swear their topsoil is nothing but a 10,000-year accumulation of human and water buffalo feces.

It is past time for the North American Union – and no borders at all between Mexico the US and Canada.

Oh, how can we be so daring. Think – the Euros fought un told wars and came together for prosperity and to stop wars in the 21 st century. Harmony at last. Amazing. And here we are talking of fences between N. American countries. Shameful.

We want more blocks to our two largest trading partners. Or at least two high on the list. How very stupid in a competitive world.

It is manical economic suicide.

Plus, both Canada and Mexico have oil – and democratic based govt.

In one decade of capital flow, many of those workers would stay in Mexico.

EU works. NMFTU should be our dream.

Talking about Latino populations like projections of soon to arrive Mars fopk is stupid. Tens of millions are here, and were here thru the WEST — Western States are becoming brown folk. Thanks mom nature. And very handsome at that.

RR – I never spotted you as regressive.

There must be a guest worker program. There must be amnesty.
Take a look Brazil, North America is debating your model of blending peoples – truly he melting pot, again.

Racism to any degreee is an ugly concept. Anti human. Only creates misery and damage, nothing else. Ever.

Racism has created the most horrid poisonous pages of American History, written in blood and suffering, and denied potential.

Time for more change and another approach.

Welcome to the Elecion Dogfight of the Year – This piece is from The Seattle Gay News – Friday edition.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS:Washington State Democrats
by Dwight Pelz, Chair, Washington State Democrats
[Editor’s Note: In Their Own Words is a new column where individuals and community organizations will tell the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community what they will do to defeat Tim Eyman’s anti-Gay referendum and initiative.]

When Governor Chris Gregoire signed into law House Bill 2661, which ensures Gays and Lesbians are protected against discrimination, it marked a victory that was 29 years in the making. This was a fight that has had many champions, Rep. Ed Murray, who has sponsored the legislation for 11 years; the late Sen. Cal Anderson who sponsored it for many years before that; and the countless others in the community who have fought for fair treatment for everyone.
The Democratic Party of Washington believes strongly in ensuring equal rights for everyone and opposes discrimination in any form. We support the anti-discrimination bill, having long called for its passage in our state platform for many years. Many of us in the Party admiringly refer to it as the Anderson/Murray act to honor the work of its two most prominent sponsors.
I’m proud that every single Democrat in the State House of Representatives voted in support of this bill. Last month, the Democratic Party passed a resolution thanking our legislators. In this same resolution, the Party committed to opposing any referendum to overturn this historic legislation and to encourage Washington citizens to not sign any petition to help get a referendum or initiative onto the ballot.
The Democratic Party of Washington will fight against any ballot measure which attempts to repeal the civil rights of our citizens. It’s sad to see that there are people who would attempt to take away these basic civil rights, to actually be pro-discrimination.
Led by initiative sponsor-for-hire Tim Eyman, the cynical and close minded have filed an initiative and referendum to overturn the anti-discrimination law. Eyman is distorting the intent and meaning of the law to make a quick buck. Using fear tactics, Eyman would have voters believe the law passed by the legislature is about quotas and preferential treatment. He is purposely using false and inflammatory language to hide the fact that he is openly supporting discrimination.
We need to be clear when talking about this law that it is about equal and fair treatment for everyone under the law.
As Chair of the Washington State Democratic Party, I will vigorously oppose these sad attempts by Tim Eyman to drag us back into the dark days of Jim Crow-type laws. I believe the fair-minded and progressive voters of Washington will agree and share our values of equal treatment.

George, I think you are correct. The rightwing has very few positive notes on their scorecard. What is one more black mark for this states minority party?

and you thought Dubai Ports taking over the management and cargo security of 6 ports on the East Coast was bad?

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (UPI) — A United Arab Emirates government-owned company is poised to take over port terminal operations in 21 American ports, far more than the six widely reported.

The Bush administration has approved the takeover of British-owned Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co. to DP World, a deal set to go forward March 2 unless Congress intervenes.

P&O is the parent company of P&O Ports North America, which leases terminals for the import and export and loading and unloading and security of cargo in 21 ports, 11 on the East Coast, ranging from Portland, Maine to Miami, Florida, and 10 on the Gulf Coast, from Gulfport, Miss., to Corpus Christi, Texas, according to the company’s Web site.

GOP “Greedy Organization of Prostitutes”…… sold their souls and actively selling our country, security and future well being.

I scanned stefan’s little diner too. (for the first time) I was struck by the fact that it is not filled with trolls from our side initiating insults and scatological references. We don’t go there and track off into racist, homophobic slurs.

This — for no other reason — ought to demonstrate just how UNCIVIL the right’s dialog is, and how they have no interest in civil society. Forget that their policies have been proven incorrect time after time. Even assuming thier policies are correct, their lack of civility provides the basis for an America constantly at war with itself.

Who, in their sound mind, would chose a governing vision based on sustaining itself by causing cultural Balkinization, zealotry and constant cultural warfare? Why do they hate America so much?

Hey Bob — I never said I was AGAINST Bush’s guest worker program … I merely pointed out that Bush’s motive is to drive down wages. The wingers are beside themselves! Forced to choose between greed or racism, they’re even more racist than greedy! if that’s possible.

McGavick has an image problem, namely his $14 million CEO salary. How many people would vote for the Big Insurance Candidate from the Big Business Party if they knew who this guy is? That’s why McGavick doesn’t dare put the GOP label on his campaign ads. He wants voters to think he’s a Democrat or independent! Well, one of the reasons. Other reasons for concealing his GOP identity include: Iraq quagmire, torture scandal, Katrina fiasco, corruption, cronyism, ad naus. Mike McG. is giving the term “stealth candidate” a whole new meaning … i.e., when your party is only slightly more popular than the Khmer Rouge, try to fly in under the radar …

Hmmm … you’ve got a point. Another black mark against WSRP is analogous to another murder count against Gary Ridgeway — what more can the voters do to them?

Like Freep, Sucky Politics is nothing more than a circle jerk of wingnuts stroking each other.

and on the more intellectual side of GWB:

Cheney gets a call from his “boss”, W.
“I’ve got a problem,” says W.
“What’s the matter?” asks Cheney.
“Well, you told me to keep busy in the Oval Office, so, I got a jigsaw puzzle, but it’s too hard. None of the pieces fit together and I can’t find any edges.”
“What’s it a picture of?” asks Cheney.
“A big rooster,” replies W.
“All right,” sighs Cheney, “I’ll come over and have a look.”
So he leaves his office and heads over to the Oval Office. W points at the jigsaw on his desk.
Cheney looks at the desk and then turns to W and says, “For crying out loud, Georgie – put the corn flakes back in the box.”

This old election stuff has shelf life – as they say. During the debacle, I had a couple of friends staying with me.

Like you, Voter Advocate, they were convinced the
R’s had stashed ballots in King County to supress the Gregoire count. I was never completely convinced, but it would make perfect sense. Poor Dean Logan, such rosy cheeks, kicked around like an old rag doll.

Onward. That oh so close election should boost voter participation for a very long time. No voices saying my vote is not important, ever again.

Hey MTR — we agree on something! I’ve had it with billionaires ripping off the taxpayers. (Hint: that’s why I’ll never vote for a Republican again.) Let Howard move his team to Bellevue! Janet can watch the games from her “deluxe seating box” (orange crate under faded canvas awning of her 1948 Airstream, with portable TV on folding card table).

No wonder you can’t pay a $100.00 gambling debt!

They appear to have a consistency problem now, though. Wasn’t so long ago that wingers were talking about annihilating the people they call “ragheads” or “towelheads,” meaning every Muslim on earth and apparently a good many of the rest of the world’s non-Christian* population.

* “Christian,” as used here, refers to the religiously-conservative pseudo-Christians who absurdly claim they believe or practice real Christianity.

“I’m clearly in the left 20 percent of the country, nationally. I’m a Ted Kennedy liberal,” Dershowitz said. “In the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, I’m in the 10 percent side of the conservatives.”

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/200.....d_politics

Yes, the big time college campuses are run by the loony lefty moonbat donkocratic moby trolls! If Dershowitz says so, it must be TRUE! I am glad that is not my IVY League alma mater!

Speaking of such: “K”, which IVY league school did you attend? I don’t remember your answer to my question!!!!!

Cougar@56: Yes, when Jesse HiJackson and Tawanna Al Sharpton quit preaching politics in the black churches or when they stop inviting the dummocraptic candidate to the pulpit on Sunday, I cheer too!

Roger Rabbit@95, why do you call most people who vehemently disagree with your socialist agenda bullshit “Kevin Carnes”? You have no argument so you smear your opponents. Moonbat lunacy at it’s best.

Oh yes, hello marks & GBS from the Midwest!

Kevin Carnes @ 349

Freep, why do you associate people you disagree with politically with the solid excretory organs? You and Oink ought to get together! A true meeting of the minds at its finest!

And anyone who swallows wingnut bullshit at the rate you do can’t be the sharpest knife in the drawer.

DumbASS@305… oops Roger Rabbit: North Korea got nukes? http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/dprk/nuke/

BigBullShitterRogerRabbit@Everywhere: You need to read more URLs than the links from Think Progress or even the left leaning ABA!!! It took me all of 0.40 seconds to find the correct URL to flush your bullshit down the toilet! Tsk, tsk!

Now who ask Roger Rabbit to scour the Ether and search the Internet for help on their topic?

Comforting note for all: In the most recent ‘job approval’ survey for the current US Senators the ‘bottom 10’ includes Sen Frist and 8 other RepubliCONS. The change is coming! Just over 8 more months and the entire US can hopefully breathe a sigh of relief when the Democrats take control of at least one of the branches of congress and can start holding GWB accountable for the disaster he has heaped on this nation.

Puddy’s swan song. How depressing…

Freep, regarding crayons and construction paper:

I don’t recall you ever answering my question from a while back: who did you vote for State Auditor in 2004? The Democrat, the Republican or the the Libertarian?

And yes, I know who all three are.

“Persian peeples are a different branch. They look different, they speak different, but they worship Mohammad!”

Here’s one thing all you right wingers need to think about before condining Bushco’s beating of the war drums in preparation for a strike on Iran: Iran is an ethnically complex country, made up of a number of different ethnic groups. Some of these groups, like the Kurds and Azeris, span national boundaries and consider the areas of Iran they live in to be part of their ethnic homeland.

Now, we’ve already seen the type of internecine violence that Bush is responsible in Iraq. Do you want that in Iran, too, just because Bushco claims that they’ve got (or will have) nukes? (Which, of course, still leaves open the question as to how they’d lob them at us, but that didn’t stop the panic and fear over an even more tenuous assertion over Iraqi WMDs.) Want real and utter chaos across a good swath of southwest Asia? Bush is your man to deliver the goods.

I’m just sayin’…

So RevMan, I asked Roger Dumb Rabbit when North Korea became nuclear but it seems the fur is caught in his paws. So I’ll ask you.

First, is it anabaptist or anababtist. You wrote it, please clarify!
Second, when did North Korea go nukular?

Thanks in advance for your well thought out answers!

Yeah, RevMan enquiring minds want to know. Exclude rugratASS from the previous sentence! RugratASS – No mind, mo matter, no intelligence, no worries, no sense!

So CluelessASS, did you vote for Sonntag because he was donk or because he was the best candidate? My guess for you is because he was donk! You couldn’t vote for a right side thinker if your life depended upon it!

As I say good night from the midwest I present the full-on maximum brain power of rugratASS in #377.

FLORIDA SAYS “NO” TO JEB BUSH FOR WHITE HOUSE

From a Strategic Vision poll conducted Feb. 22:

“7. Would you like to see Governor Jeb Bush run for President in 2008?
“Yes 18%
“No 65%
“Undecided 17%”

North Korea got nukes on Bush’s watch, you lying fuck. And what has he done about it?

For you newbies on this site, my post above is a sexually explicit insult that comments on Puttybutt’s lack of manhood where it counts.

Of course, Kevin Carnes can prevent mistakes and misunderstandings by coming clean about which screen names are his. How about it, Kev? Hey Kev, we know you read this blog — how about publishing a list of your screen names.

I notice Mr. Cynical, prr, chardonnay, and several others haven’t been around since Goldy “outed” Kevin.

I might be impressed if it was U-235 (apart from the fact that believing NK has plutonium is not the same thing as NK having plutonium) — but in the case of plutonium, having weapons-grade nuclear material is not the same thing as having a bomb. There’s the little matter of explosive lenses and triggers. Anybody can build a gun-type bomb, but that design only works with U-235. Plutonium requires a much more difficult-to-build implosion device.

“Kill yourself for being stupid. We need to stop you from breeding more dumb bunnies before you spread your idiocy.”

You first.

From an article in the respected journal “Foreign Affairs”:

“Much has been written about the North Korean nuclear danger, but one crucial issue has been ignored: just how much credible evidence is there to back up Washington’s uranium accusation? Although it is now widely recognized that the Bush administration misrepresented and distorted the intelligence data it used to justify the invasion of Iraq, most observers have accepted at face value the assessments the administration has used to reverse the previously established U.S. policy toward North Korea.

“But what if those assessments were exaggerated and blurred the important distinction between weapons-grade uranium enrichment (which would clearly violate the 1994 Agreed Framework) and lower levels of enrichment (which were technically forbidden by the 1994 accord but are permitted by the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty [NPT] and do not produce uranium suitable for nuclear weapons)?

“A review of the available evidence suggests that this is just what happened. Relying on sketchy data, the Bush administration presented a worst-case scenario as an incontrovertible truth and distorted its intelligence on North Korea (much as it did on Iraq), seriously exaggerating the danger that Pyongyang is secretly making uranium-based nuclear weapons.”

http://www.foreignaffairs.org/.....cheat.html

Here’s an article taking the view that North Korea does have nuclear weapons — but points out the earliest North Korea could have processed enough plutonium to make a bomb was mid-2003:

“Rolling Blunder

“How the Bush administration let North Korea get nukes.

“By Fred Kaplan

“On Oct. 4, 2002, officials from the U.S. State Department flew to Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, and confronted Kim Jong-il’s foreign ministry with evidence that Kim had acquired centrifuges for processing highly enriched uranium, which could be used for building nuclear weapons. To the Americans’ surprise, the North Koreans conceded. It was an unsettling revelation, coming just as the Bush administration was gearing up for a confrontation with Iraq. This new threat wasn’t imminent; processing uranium is a tedious task; Kim Jong-il was almost certainly years away from grinding enough of the stuff to make an atomic bomb.

“But the North Koreans had another route to nuclear weapons–a stash of radioactive fuel rods, taken a decade earlier from its nuclear power plant in Yongbyon. These rods could be processed into plutonium–and, from that, into A-bombs–not in years but in months. Thanks to an agreement brokered by the Clinton administration, the rods were locked in a storage facility under the monitoring of international weapons-inspectors. Common sense dictated that–whatever it did about the centrifuges–the Bush administration should do everything possible to keep the fuel rods locked up.

“Unfortunately, common sense was in short supply. After a few shrill diplomatic exchanges over the uranium, Pyongyang … expelled the international inspectors, broke the locks on the fuel rods, loaded them onto a truck, and drove them to a nearby reprocessing facility, to be converted into bomb-grade plutonium. The White House stood by and did nothing.

“Why did George W. Bush–his foreign policy avowedly devoted to stopping ‘rogue regimes’ from acquiring weapons of mass destruction–allow one of the world’s most dangerous regimes to acquire the makings of the deadliest WMDs? Given the current mayhem and bloodshed in Iraq, it’s hard to imagine a decision more ill-conceived than invading that country unilaterally without a plan for the ‘post-war’ era. But the Bush administration’s inept diplomacy toward North Korea might well have graver consequences. President Bush made the case for war in Iraq on the premise that Saddam Hussein might soon have nuclear weapons–which turned out not to be true. Kim Jong-il may have nuclear weapons now; he certainly has enough plutonium to build some, and the reactors to breed more.

“Yet Bush has neither threatened war nor pursued diplomacy. He has recently, and halfheartedly, agreed to hold talks; the next round is set for June. But any deal that the United States might cut now to dismantle North Korea’s nuclear-weapons program will be harder and costlier than a deal that Bush could have cut 18 months ago, when he first had the chance, before Kim Jong-il got his hands on bomb-grade material and the leverage that goes with it.

“The pattern of decision making that led to this debacle–as described to me in recent interviews with key former administration officials who participated in the events–will sound familiar to anyone who has watched Bush and his cabinet in action. It is a pattern of wishful thinking, blinding moral outrage, willful ignorance of foreign cultures, a naive faith in American triumphalism, a contempt for the messy compromises of diplomacy, and a knee-jerk refusal to do anything the way the Clinton administration did it. …”

“Second, when did North Korea go nukular?”

Probably sometime in mid to late 2003, after Bush fucked up the negotiations with North korea. See above.

Oh, I’m not at all convinced that anything other than incompetance occurred in 2004, George.

I just want to tweak the trolls who constantly accuse King County of being a political arm of the Democratic Party.

It’s good to remind people that, had over 1600 ballots not been misplaced, the spin on that election would have been different.

Freep:

I don’t get it Freep. Sonntag is a democrat. How are you going to square this with members of your whacked-out crowd who take Murdoch and Regnery publications as the ultimate truth?

Everything else aside you made a good choice. I voted for Sonntag because I thought he was the best man for the job.

Now how’s that Able Danger bullshit going?

And this one makes perfect sense:

Roger Dumb Bunny: Here is the link you missed. The Clintonistas telling GWB to stay the course (look the other way) on North Korea.

http://www.isis-online.org/pub.....ef301.html

Yeah, while they were building centrifuges,

“George this is Bill. Look the other way. Don’t let Madeline look foolish. Don’t have Colin looking too good too early!”

Why not Bill. I don’t trust North Korea. We think they have nukular weapons”

“George, people are uneasy about this. Stay the course!”

Above was a hypo conversation between Hill Billy and GWB. While Clinton dithered, NK worked!

College Republicans — aren’t they the con artists who fleeced senior citizens? http://seattletimes.nwsource.c.....bs28m.html

“Fund-raising group milks vulnerable senior citizens

“Copyright 2004, The Seattle Times Co.
“By David Postman and Jim Brunner
“Seattle Times staff reporters

T”he College Republican National Committee has raised $6.3 million this year through an aggressive and misleading fund-raising campaign that collected money from senior citizens who thought they were giving to the election efforts of President Bush and other top Republicans.

“Many of the top donors were in their 80s and 90s. The donors wrote checks — sometimes hundreds and, in at least one case, totaling more than $100,000 — to groups with official sounding-names such as ‘Republican Headquarters 2004’ …. But all of those groups … were … projects of the College Republicans, who collected all of the checks. And little of the money went to election efforts … 90 percent went to direct-mail vendors and postage expenses, according to records filed with the Internal Revenue Service.

“Some of the elderly donors, meanwhile, wound up bouncing checks and emptying their bank accounts.

“‘I don’t have any more money,’ said Cecilia Barbier, a 90-year-old retired church council worker in New York City. ‘I’m stopping giving to everybody. That was all my savings that they got.’

…

“In Van Buren, Ark., Monda Jo Millsap, 68, said she emptied her savings account by writing checks to College Republicans, then got a bank loan of $5,000 and sent that, too, before totaling her donations at more than $59,000.

” … since at least 2001, some leaders of College Republicans have objected to the tone and targeting of the fund raising done by Response Dynamics, the Virginia company that handles the direct-mail campaign. … ‘We felt their fund-raising practices were deceptive, to say the least,’ said George Gunning, former treasurer of the College Republicans. Gunning said he and two other board members fought to cut ties with Response Dynamics but were blocked by other leaders ….

“The board debated the fund-raising practices after the family of an elderly Indiana woman with Alzheimer’s disease demanded that her donations be returned. The woman’s family said it had sent a registered letter asking that she be taken off the mailing list, but the solicitations continued. Only after a newspaper reported on the story did the College Republicans refund $40,000 to the family, according to Jackie Boyle, one of the woman’s nieces.

“‘I think this is a nationwide scam,’ Boyle said on hearing of recent complaints. ‘They’re covering the whole country … they need to be investigated.'”

Republican = crooks, liars, and cheats

Yeah, it is alot better to give the Chinese weapons technology
for campaign donations and crack to the rest of the democrats
in town for their votes.

Iran continues to threaten the world. They continue to tell the french and the UN to fuck off.

How long should we wait before we bomb the shit out of them? Or should we not do that because “violence doesn’t solve anything”?

The world has taken the moonbat approach with them and look how well that has worked. Is it time for the adults to step in?

“successful people”

Like Mike McGavick? Who got $14.5 million a year for screwing his policyholders? Or did they just pay him all that money as a disguised campaign contribution, so he can be an insurance industry lackey in the U.S. Senate, and carry on his work of screwing consumers?

McGavick ain’t gonna get elected dogcatcher. Eat shit, Pukes!

Army stretched to breaking point, report says

Rumsfeld says military not overextended but ‘battle hardened’

WASHINGTON (AP) — Stretched by frequent troop rotations to Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army has become a “thin green line” that could snap unless relief comes soon, according to a study for the Pentagon.

You people really do not live in the reality based community. You keep repeating the same thing over and over until you actually believe it is true. Amazing.

MTR, our young men and women have bent over backwards trying to cover up the stupidity of the FSIC and the litter Rummer boy. But they only have so much to give before Reality Bites,

You rely on CNN and the MSM to give the straight truth about the military? Haven’t you donks learn anything from the Newsweek scandal. Next thing we will see is these donks pointing to stories on 60 minutes as the truth. Geeeesh

Well, we don’t have much to worry about with Doofus & Co. trying to declare martial law ( not “marshall law” as they say at uSP ) with a worn out army and if they try to use the nouvou Pinkerton Army they’re trying to put together we may be forced to pull a Hutu on them.

Looks like we will be headed into Iran shortly. When are the Democrats in Congress going to grow a pair and IMPEACH that son of a bitch?

Fire One – I agree. Let’s wait until Iran lobs a nuke on us or somebody else, and then go to the UN and debate it for a year or two. We can then admonish them in the “strongest possible terms”.

Is that what you want? Or should we bomb the shit out of them now before they do it?

MTR – What the fuck you talking about? The Iranians are years from having any sort of nuclear weapon. And if they had one, what exactly would they LOB it with? Why are R’s so scared of everything? They are scared of their own shadow, and want us to be scared with them… The only reason they want us scared is so they can take away our civil liberties and establish a kingdom…

“kissing rich peoples’ booty X S-Corporation tax free money to rich people for pitiful contributions = Republican Congress”

Rich people contributed $4 billion to the GOP between 2000 and 2004, and got $400 billion in tax breaks — a 100-fold return on their investment. From a purely accounting point of view, it’s the best money they’ve ever spent.
