Everything Bimore Needs to Know, He Learned in Kindergarten
 

Now you're using Bilmore's argument. Two wrongs do make a right.

Distasteful, but Oddly Refreshing
 

You frame pictures of the forebears who BUY the politicians, not the bought, particularly if they're at the state level. Those miscreants are crowned by local businessmen and treated like toothless hookers by their owners.

There is room for the fiscal conservatives Sebby, don't be a martyr.

We established long ago that it is not a communist thing. It dates back to the compromise reached in enacting the Statute of Uses and the Statute of Wills, both firmly entrenched in Anglo-Saxon common law.

Although it is refreshing to hear you acknowledge that the whole death tax thing is a semantic ploy.

Does it ever rain in your pretty world?

As long as you know that you're just along for the ride and that your Republican priorities are not being promoted. But hopefully gay marriage can be prevented, right? That'll stop congress from spending.

That's just stupid.

That audience could use a course or two in remedial logic.

Can't challenge your experience, but there are a not insignificant number of people who work at CIA who can say they do. For example, lawyers in the GC's office have told me what they do, at least in general terms (e.g., I work on south america issues or FOIA requests). So, the fact that someone works at CIA does not necessarily make them covert or clandestine, or even not public knowledge. Although Bilmore and I disagree whether Plame was in the known category (she at least could tell Wilson initially only because he had a security clearnance).

The Clintonesque politics of destruction knows no distinction.

??? I see a bunch of goddamned Democrats running the party. We're starting wars everywhere and blowing huge wads of dough to prime the givernment/indutsrial complex. This admin hasn't seen a program it doesn't like.

That your great grandfather was a state legislator is a fact. That he was bought and paid for by Weyerhauser is the sort of thing that most folks hope people either don't realize or politely forget.

• Can anyone seriously believe that not invading Iraq would have changed the mindset of this fanatic? Or leaving Afghanistan alone? What we're learning, especially from the home-grown bombings in London, is that our fundamental enemy is a medievalist theological fascism, buried in the recesses of a legitimate religious faith. It would be nice if we could talk these people out of it, or hand them concessions to buy them off, or hug them till they saw the joys of the New Age. Until then, we have to bring them to justice - on the battlefield or court-room. And the people who are most able to bring them to justice are Western Muslims; and the democratically-inclined Muslims in Iraq.

For those interested, reading the transcripts of the van gough trial is fucking chilling. Those people are FANATICAL.

Das anti-Kapitalists!
 

Those of us who respect personal initiative, capitalism and property rights have turned our backs on your anachronistic compromises. The Marxists appropriated your compromise, but now even their heirs have realized the evil of such a tax.


I don't need to call something satanic to realize and acknowledge its inherent evil.

In an ownership society it is morning in America.

On this, we are in complete agreement. The problem is, how do we root them out and kill them? One by one?

Exactly. He's never had a legitimate reason. His handlers forced him into one (he does nothing based on what the NYTimes says) and now he's backpeddling to the 5/6 agin. Why? Because no one would have supported him had he offered the 5/6 original reasons. Again, you're offering more evidence that he's been lying/manipulating all along.
