I've got a friend that works in the prison...said there's been no change since Obama took office.

Torture every Muslim and Arab in the world as far as I am concerned. My friends and family aren't Muslims or Arabs, so they are not going ot get tortured by mistake. So some so-called innocent Muslims or Arabs get tortured? What do I care? They aren't me, my family, or my friends, so who cares?
We need to keep America safe for real Americans. Too bad for all of you Muslims. If you don't like it, then you Muslims stop the terrorism, or you can stop being Muslim. Problem solved! Also, Americans need to protect Israel at all costs. If that means wiping out a bunch of Muslims or Arabs, then so be it.
a reminder from the past: First they came for the Communists but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists but I was not one of them, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews but I was not Jewish so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.

My, what an ugly soul you have....
Not as ugly as yours. Our government has tortured, imprisoned, kidnapped, and killed thousands of so-called "innocent" Muslims over the past 7 years. What have YOU done about it? NOTHING. I bet you have not even so much as written one letter to your Senator to protest it. How many hours have you lied awake at night even thinking about it? ZERO. Truth is . . . you don't really care about it any more than I do. So climb down off that high horse. The ONLY difference between you and me as that I will be honest about it, and you won't. That makes your soul uglier than mine.
My mistake... I see you're one of those omniscient cro-magnons; you know what people do and think about everything.... Seriously, you dare postulate my true sentiments or lack there of regarding the situation in Iraq (and elsewhere)? Don't worry Johnny, I think I understand; you have to force yourself to believe that deep down everyone is as ugly as you in order to live with yourself. I'd hate to inform you of bad news, though the vast majority of us are not (as ugly as you inside), which is why MCain/Palin lost the election.
IYou trully are a sad excuse for a human being., so sad I almost pitty you......
Are you for real? This is sarcasm right? Because if it's not you need serious help. Guessing here, that you'll say anything outrageous, for attention. You learned well at the feet of your master, Limbaugh.
I am only saying what the majority of Americans secretly think but are just afraid to say out loud because of just the sort of replies I received here. Wake up and look around you. The left has tried over and over to hold rallies and marches and protests aginst all of this stuff for years. NO ONE COMES! Because in their hearts, Americans do not care becuase they do not think it affects them. That is just human nature - so why get upset at me about it?
Me and my family and my friends come first to me. If you were honest, you would admit the same for you. If a bunch of folks I don't know and I could care less about get killed, imprisoned or tortured, so what? Millions of folks all over the world are killed, imprisoned or tortured every day. Too bad. But do I lose a minute's sleep over it at night?. No. And neither do you. And again, if you would be honest about it, you would just admit it.
There is a reason why it is called looking out for number one. We may be the smartest of animals, but we are still animals. We have been bred over millions of years to do whatever is in our own best interest for us and our kin, and too bad for everyone else. Get off your high horse because deep down inside, you are no different. So if they imprisoned and tortured every single Muslim and Arab on the planet and it made me and my family even 1% safer, then I am all for it. And deep down inside . . . I think you are too.
"I am only saying what the majority of Americans secretly think but are just afraid to say out loud "
So how do you know what people think iif they don't say it out loud? Does Baby Jesus tell you?
I think you need to seek therapy john. you do realise that some of these muslims and arabs ARE americans. Your talking about half our planet, your stance is just as wrong as those you seek to hate, therefore, you should be able to justify killing and torturing yourself.
Don't know as I would be for killing John, but since he likes torture so much, maybe it would be fun.
It would be morally OK (by his dim lights) because, unless I am horribly wrong, he is not a member of my family. Certainly no friend.
Women and children first! eh, Johnboy?
sweet boy.
Please leave America immediately. You are a savage. You belong in Pakistan or Somalia.
Pure comedy gold. Please keep it coming!
Just another "coincidence"?

THE BIG DIRTY SECRET NO ONE WILL DISCUSS is the continued use of illegal defense programs being used on innocent American Citizens for use as demo models to procure BILLIONS in defense contracts. Programs esp aimed at women and children with associated govt corruption linked to massive insider trading,orchestrated terrorist attacks/disasters and corrupt media elements. Victims lives made into a living HELL by a shadow government which utilizes mobster tactics. (D4/deny, discredit, disable, destroy)
Peoples lives are targeted when they are young. They are used, abused, programmed, manipulated, mutilated, and TORTURED. Directed Energy Weaponry, Microwave Weaponry, BIO-Chemical Weaponry, NANO is used. The aforementioned is done to use the victim for Intell/Political/Monetary and sadistic amusement agenda's. Evidence of this was sent CRR, FAX, email, telephone, hand delivered to the following with NO RESPONSE except for NUMEROUS ABRUPT FIRINGS/RESIGNATIONS but no one held accountable to victims who suffered in the most heinous ways imaginable. Evidence sent to former CIA Dir Goss, Pres Bush, CIA Dir Hayden, JCS Army Gen. Schoomaker, AF JCS Moseley, Navy JCS Mullen, JCS Gen. England, NSA Insp Gen Office, DoD Insp Gen Office, FBI Civil Rights Dept., Senate Intell Com Sen Feinstein and Rockefeller, House Judiciary Com (who said you may not have received the response you wanted but YOU SURE HAVE GOTTEN A RESPONSE regarding all the resignations/firings), Sen Shelby, Sen Edwards and hand delivered to Michelle Obama during the campaign. When Obama was asked by a young victim in a public forum, about what he was going to do about the evidence, Obama said that the evidence was good evidence and that they were working on doing something about it...we're still waiting. Note following abrupt resignations/firings occurred. CIA Dir. Goss and Andrew Card (See NH Union Leader Andrew Card interview from Jan 2005), JCS Army Gen. Schoomaker, SOD Rumsfeld, Gonzales and Rove, AF Gen. Moseley and Sec. Wynne, just to name a few. Evidence reg the aforementioned was on www.libertyforum.org under the name ManhattanPROJECT but was conv closed down on 9-4-08 to hide evidence. The programs are an ext/exp of the NAZI inspired heinous MKULTRA, AF Project ORION programs allegedly banned by the Pike and Church Committees in 1977, obv mere theatrics.

Does anyone remember when the Bush's were part of S and L and it was settled out of court? Does anyone remember when the FBI knew in advance the actions of Timothy McVeigh and they pulled their people out of the building in Oklahoma but did not inform anyone and allowed people to die where there was also a daycare center? How about Ruby Ridge and Waco??
Could this have been a Political Ploy to use public sentiment to work political agendas? Before 9/11 there were reports on PBS on how a plane going into a high rise building would not due much damage. The planes used in 9/11 were bigger and had more fuel, but a collapse of a couple of floors does not seem to be logical to make a tall building of steel collapse. Keep in mind that the Government had offices on the lower floors.
Now, with all of these problems, I am amazed at the people who defend people like Bush and those who are so nieve and think everything is above board and proper. In a circle of liars, thieves and cheats, do you think you can find truth and you will get accountability? Some people here truly think these people will be brought to justice. THAT IS A BIG LAUGH and the joke is on us. We are being used like cattle, like a commodity and you are paying taxes for essentially a right to work, nothing more and nothing less. The Constitution is DEAD and it is no more than worthless words. People all over this country are being robbed through the courts and through politially connected towns or through big business pacts where money talks and everything else walks! What concerns me is that everyone either does not know what to do to combat these problems or does not care or is in the dark. Medial reporting does nothing, because nothing is ever fixed. In the old country people took the law into their own hands so no one contemplated harming anyone. This was what our founding fathers saId we could do if a country no longer supported us. Benjamin Franklin said to keep a Government Honest we must overthrow it every 200 years. It is overdue. WAKE UP AMERICA!
But wait, it gets better, remember Connolly and the Boston FBI ? That was the scandal that involved Whitey Bulger who killed 21 people, was connected to the New England Mob and had a Brother who was Mass. State Speaker of the House, and by the way they can not find. Well this law firm Murtha Cullinawas involved in Colonial which led to the Bulgers and the FBI and Mr. Mueller Director of FBI who formerly lived in Lexington, MA. hired a Mr. Boyle from Murtha Cullina for Chief of the Terrorism Unit. This is just a highlight of your government and you think terrorism is of any concern. It is a group of fat cats who are above the law. They are above the law because we allow them to be. They are nothing but the mob. They give us snow jobs about investigations that go no place and in the process steal millions more of our dollars. For example the investigation of President William Clinton on his sexcapades cost us $50 million.
At least Clinton exited office with a Surplus and The Great George Bush exited with a Trillion plus deficit. Now we have to bail out fat cat thieves in Banks and Predatory Lenders who destroyed families and stole their homes plus all the money they took and then they are bailed out on more of our tax dollars! Wonder why AIG was bailed out so fast, well check who they was on their list of politically contributions.
Do you wonder why Chavez of Venezuela hates Bush? Because there was a failed attempt by our government through Bush to assisinate him. If you think that it is OK to take people and kidnap them and send them to other countries, such as was done with a Canadian Citizen who was Muslim and taken to Jordan to be tortured, you have problems. It was proven that the man was wrongly accused and apprehended at an airport. If you think our country is about our rights, our protections, it is just one more snow job. With all of the lies, deceit and treachery, does any believe all that is given to them? When someone can not be safe in their home where several examples can be given besides Mrs. Carroll, you want us to believe we are fighting terrorism, when, the terrorists are domestic, not foreign. How many bank scandals do we have to have to stop the raping of the public? We had such hype about 9/11. With all of the lies and deceit, do we really know, if, those buildings fell due to the planes or was it something that was known in advance and the buildings were imploded by our government? Rosey O'Donell and other celebrities tend to think it is the latter. There were also, photos at the Pentagon where claims of a plane going into that building were made, but the explosion on the video and before and after pics show no plane. CONTINUED NEXT POST
Misled when they have been defendants in Enron, S and L, Lincoln Savings and Loan, Ocwen Bank and Colonial as well as had a Keating 5 member on the firm in Connecticutt. This lawyer then, had to leave Belmont and arranged with a disgruntled exspouse along with the Town of Arlington and the Sullivans in the State Courts to steal the home of a 74 year old woman. The home was robbed by the Middlesex Sheriff with a notorious mover connected to the NY Garbage syndicate exposed by NBC dateline. This lawfirm has a partner James DiGiacomo former Chairman of the Licensing Board for Lawyers, which is only overseen by the Supreme Judicial Court of the State of Mass. and this lawyer states on his website that he is regularly appointed by the courts for Guardianship of Estates, which is how elders are robbed of all of their assets. This lawyer has the same last name as Baglio DeGiacomo an F.B.I. informant and a member of the Patriaca Clan and Rhode Island Mafia.The firm is on the Elder Homelessness Committee with Chief Justice Karyn Faith Scheier who helped create false titles on the home of Josephine Carroll in Arlington so Gahan and Sullivan could steal the property with Robert Murray former selectman which illegally developed it. This was a divorced woman married 40 years who lived in this home for 35 years who had orders of permanent restraint against her exspouse and anyone connected to him. The order was criminal to violate. but the Courts, the A.G. and D.A. have refused to uphold the law, calling crime a civil matter. This happened when Romney's Lt..Governor stated Elders were overhoused as she built a second mansion in Vt. These lawyers work with the U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee named Hannify who is of the firm Hannify and King. (King was a former Governor now deceased) Hannify of Belmont has purportedly swindled several people of their estates. See John and Rhetta Sweeney on internet, see Mourad and Mel King with Winterhill Bank and Judge Kenner US Bankruptcy Court of Mass on internet. Hannify's father is Edward Hannify who operates the law firm Ropes and Gray in Boston, MA. That firm helped Kennedy out of Chappa Quidic and then Kennedy became head of the Judiciary. The firm also employs the wife of Governor Deval Patrick a friend of Barrack O'Bama. continued in next post
We can not forget VP Cheney and Rove who were actually running the country. We should liken Cheney to the Godfather. He had sole contracts for Iraq and for the U.S. Remember the Big Dig? A Hallerburton Horror show. This was a project riddled with waste and abuse. 6 People in Massachusetts Stole Money (Federal Funding) but were not prosecuted. This was such a great project, that a Steel Ceiling panel fell and crushed a woman and her car. Continued in next post a must read. This fact besides leaks of water rushing into tunnels. Romney another Republican Bozo, fired the head of the Massachusetts Transportation Authority who warned of these types of issues. Then, the blame was placed on the manufacturer of the adhesives. Romney is a Bush Buddy. Romney a Michigan native and a High Priest or Bishop of the Mormon Church LDS bought a home in Belmont MA. besides other places and he got a corrupt lawyer to help him get the Mormon church into Belmont displacing many people. This corrupt lawyer is John W. Gahan, III who is a senior Partner of Murtha Cullina and was the Belmont Zoning attorney for 25 years. This firm was formerly Roche Carens and DiGiacomo dismantled after the CRRA in Connecticutt and their Attorney General sued the firm for a $220 Million dollar swindle of Tax Payers money on an unsecured loan to ENRON. Remember Enron that funded Bush, Kennedy. O'Brien and many other in politics. (Did we see any of them give this money back to the victims?) This law firm had to pay $16.5 million in damages, but claimed no fault for a loan they lobbied for. The poor things alleged they were misled.
Is this anything new? Remember the election was for the president select not elect, as A Republican judge decided the election for all the Voters. Then, of course Florida, where Jeb Bush was had all the election troubles and denied blacks and the elderly a chance to vote. Are Elections truly honest? Have we not seen everything is lies, deception and smoke and mirrors? It is all MONEY AND POLITICS and the PEOPLE do not count! We are just cattle to use, manipulate and serve all of the fat cats in the system. If you recall there was claims of WMD Weapons of Mass Destruction - A PROVEN LIE. There was the underlying vendetta against Hussein for trying to assisinate George Bush Sr. George Bush Sr. had helped Hussein with finances and we sat quiet as a country while, we supported Hussein and He worked Genocide against his neighbors. Are we entitled to just go into any country and overthrow their Government, because we do not agree with it? Would we like that done to us here? In the end the Bush's met their goal and Hussein was hung. In the process they grabbed what they could from him. (Tax free Loot) Hey! Remember the Billion dollars in cash shipped abroad, that mysteriously dissappeared? Remember to pay your taxes! What kind of idiots are we when we accept all of this B.S.! Now, for the Bush administration, it was no coincidence that Oil Barons made record profits when the Bush administration was alligned with oil. Do you remember the female author who was writing a book about the Bush's and she was barred from publishing it? So much for free speech and freedom of the press! She likened the Bush's to the Soprano's so, torture is just another daily walk in the park. Neil Bush, who people do not hear much about arranges all the contracts with China. George Bush Sr, used to be Ambassador to China. Sending foreign crap that has to be thrown away and puts people out of work here is not representing the people! Neil Bush divorced his wife after 25 years and stripped her of everything. She publicly said, she could do nothing to fix it because of the dirty politics.
Some of the comments on here are warped, because either the people live in a cave and only see what they want to see or they are dumber than dumb! I see a few educated people who recognize the game is about giving all of us Americans a Snow Job and using us like cattle to live through our tax dollars and whatever else can be stolen from us.If you think the system supports you should you need them for a crisis, then, you will see how fast they are not there! The Bush Administration was toldby the IRS that they were a particular classification when, collecting campaign funds. They denied they were until they were in power. Then, the changed the classification and sought legislation that was granted giving amnesty for such groups. They did not report all the funding they received. You can find this on the internet.

These are a Constitutional issues between the Executive branch and the Congress. Interestingly enough, we have a President who was a top graduate of a top law school and who taught Constitutional law.
Release the report, President Obama is capable of judging the issues. The last President who tried to promote an "Imperial Presidency" was the deeply unpopular Richard Nixon. That is just not what the Constitution calls for, this legacy of the Bush Administration needs to be corrected.
Hey Go Sarah, your crazy just like Rush, O Reilly, and McCain. You just mad because under Clinton the economy flurished and since Bush it has FAILED. I do have one Thank you for Bush. Thank you for wrecking the economy. You must be older than 50. Guess what Go Sarah the people who are in their 20' and 30's are voting in numbers. Obama is going to pull us out of this *** hole that bush left us in. Anyways anyone that agrees with torture I ask you again to talk to your relatives that have fought in a war and have had friends that were tortured. Maybe you will change you mind. God Bless our troops and God Bless America.
WHAT ARE WE ACTUALLY TALKING HERE -THE CRIMINALS SHOULD BE CAUGHT AND TRIED ACCORDING TO THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM
NOT LIKE KEPT IN A DUNGEON WITHOUT A CHARGE AND TORTURED -IT COULD HAPPEN TOMORROW TO SARAH AND LOGIN TOO -
it is simply saying here that procedures were violated for personal motives not for public safety as a vicious fascist regime ran amok -virtually any one was fair game if they were in the wrong place at the wrong time -
that is immoral and there is no counter argument to that if it happens anywhere in the world .
why justify bush because tomoroow mugabe can plead on same grounds too -he kept zimbabwe safe from white europeans -lolz
George Bush kept Americans safe. Obama frees the terrorists who planned 9/11 and the attack on the Cole.
Barack Obama is either a traitor or a loony toon. Actually , Obama is both a traitor and a loony toon.
"George Bush kept Americans safe. "
Well, except for all the people who died on 911. And the victims of the anthrax attacks. And that stupid adventure of his in Iraq.
Canadian - You may have your own opinion but it most certainly isn't shared by a majority (76%) og the American people. We supposrt or President and Admiistration. To do less would undermine our political system. You should stay in your own backyard.
Eight years without another mass murder attack from sworn enemies of freedom (everywhere) count for nothing. I suppose it was just a fortunate by-product of Geo. Bush's plan to make his Halliburton buddies richer. And boy, since ONLY 54,000,000 (for the typical Obama voter - that's 54 million) people in this country didn't vote for nefarious (but now quite obvious) change, we are ALL getting behind this most worthy and proven leader. Dream on, thou Deluded.
President Bush never gets credit for keeping most of us alive for most of his term.
His only mistake was to wait until September 12th or so, to start figting terrorism.
Nobody's perfect.
But at least he had the guts to go on television and tell the terrorists in Iraq to "bring it on" while they were killing our troops. That took great courage. You'll never see President Obama doing something like that, I'll wager.
"President Bush never gets credit for keeping most of us alive for most of his term."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
"And boy, since ONLY 54,000,000 (for the typical Obama voter - that's 54 million) people in this country didn't vote for nefarious (but now quite obvious) change, we are ALL getting behind this most worthy and proven leader. "
Well, no, but you lost. You don't count.
"Eight years without another mass murder attack from sworn enemies of freedom (everywhere) count for nothing. "
What? Spain and England both suffered bloody attacks in the last 8 years. Are you on crack?
President Bush never gets credit for keeping most of us alive for most of his term.

I also feel sorry for president Bush. One little disaster (9/11) and our world just goes to pieces. Of course, it was Jimmy Carter's fault, but he was building houses in Haiti at the time, under cover.
Almost 8 years and no attacks by giant macaws or killer twits. Almost 8 years and no meteorite crashes on American soil. Almost 8 years and the Rapture did not come to take us all away to Bermuda.
The dude gets no credit. Speaking of no credit, he didn't do all that well by us either. We got nada and he is hiding out deep in the Dallas rain forest.
No damn credit at all.
NO, Mr. Obama wouldn't do that, I'd wager. That would take stupidity - something he's in short supply of.
President Bush kept most of us alive for most of his term.
And it only cost thousands and thousands of lives to mostly do it. Not counting Iraqis.
And as our troops were being attacked and killed by Iraqi roadside bombs, President Bush bravely stepped forward before the cameras and fearlessly told the killers to "Bring it on" from 8 thousand miles away.
I can only imagine how much safer we'd have all been if President Bush had at least tried to fight terrorism at some point prior September 12th, 2001.
No one could let them go if they were properly tried and proven guilty.
For 8 years the Bushies trashed both commonsense and the US Constitution. The only thing the Republicans kept safe were their own pocketbooks. The War on Terror was just another excuse to reward corporate Americans military-industrial complex with pallets of $100 bills.
If he whimp left-wingers keep going after Bush, Cheney, Palin, and all conservitives, they are sowing the seeds
of their own destruction. There will be a civil war that will make the first one look like a tea party. No quarter asked
or given in other words, the COMPLETE end of Liberalism!
What, with the 20% of America that doesn't hate Bush?
Scary, kids!
wow! sounds scary.
"I think the high road is to get information from these terrorists and save innocent lives. I think the low road is to ally yourselves with these terrorists and define torture down to water boarding because you hate Republicans."
Personally, I don't give a rat's behind about terrorists or Republicans. The only thing that matters to me is getting timely, actionable information that will lead to arrests and break up cells.
Which is why I am against torture. Torture has been proven unreliable in every test to it's effectiveness. Why? Because people will tell you what they think you want to hear just to get you to stop.
Don't forget, the German citizen who was picked up, tortured, and dumped back in Europe months later was innocent. Why did the CIA grab him? He was implicated as a result of torture. There are also documented cases of people fingering ex-lovers, college professors who gave them bad grades, and families against whom they have a "blood feud".
Call me liberal, call me soft on terror, call me whatever you want. I, however, don't want to waste time and resources on a wild goose chase or helping somebody get revenge. But that's just me.
Love,
JM

You said: "Which is why I am against torture. Torture has been proven unreliable in every test to it's effectiveness. Why? Because people will tell you what they think you want to hear just to get you to stop."
No it hasn't. You are simply brainwashed. You have no studies or evidence. Since when is an anecdote proof of anything? If something doesn???t work once, that means it never works? That???s if your anecdote is true. I don???t think there is anything that works 100 percent of the time, except liberals will ALWAYS wind up saying something stupid. You just ???know??? that torture doesn't work on faith because liberalism is a religion. And I???m sure this faith you have about torture not working came about during the Bush administration. You think yourself an expert because you have been brainwashed by the DNC and the liberal media.
And of course you care about Republicans. I still don???t see you attacking Bill Clinton for his policy of rendition. Who are you fooling besides other liberal hypocrites and yourself?
And you claim that Bush used water boarding for revenge and not for information. Since you can read minds, please tell me Bill Clinton's motive for using torture. Was he out for revenge, too, or does your liberal religion only allow you to "know" the evil motives of evil Republicans?
I don't see where that post said anything about Bush, or terrorists, or parties, or religions it sounded like a well thought out argument on why torture is acctually a waste of precious time in stopping these guys and saving lives.
That is because you don't have the intellect to understand what I wrote or what makes an argument. You think a statement that torture doesn't work is an argument, and you think an anecdote is proof if you already agree with the statement.
I called liberalism a faith-based religion. He didn't. You illustrate my point, and it is irrational for you to claim I could only bring it up if he did.
You illustrate my point about liberalism as a faced-based religion. You can't tell the difference between an argument and a statement if you agree with the statement.
"I called liberalism a faith-based religion."
Is there any other kind of religion?
Just asking.
Are you able to contribute anything of value to the conversation or do you get off playing dungeon master?
I ignored you (all over the board) until you got in over your head. And that was just your spelling.
I promise never to ignore you again, Reverend.
OK, Dildogrease...
Is it "faced"-based" or "faith"-based, and how would you know?
Ya' seem a tad confused, but maybe it is early in your time zone.
BTW, the only people who don't have some faith in something, believe in suicide... gotta have faith, budkist.
Hey Mark Theime,
You are all over this forum begging for attention and being as nasty as possible. Your posts are no less rational then those of most of the irrational liberals here, but your requests for attention are pretty sad. Has the years of liberals being out of power done this to you, or were you always like this?
It was "Dildogrease" wasn't it?
Had an intuition about that. Maybe it was your kind regard for others. maybe not.
always been like this.
Hey jc,
Besides human sacrifice, what is your religion?
Or is the republican secession cult about it for you?
Meanwhile, "Sen. Dianne Feinstein's blurt during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing last week forced the U.S. intelligence and military community to acknowledge on Thursday that the U.S. is targeting Al Qaeda and Taliban operatives using unmanned drones based in Pakistan.
The acknowledgement that the Pakistanis not only are turning a blind eye to U.S. operations in their territory, but also are lending a hand by supplying a staging area could create political problems for the fragile government of President Asif Ali Zardari. The Pakistanis themselves are still officially denying the arrangement, a decision predicated on the weak federal government and extreme anti-Americanism in tribal communities, particularly the Federally Administered Tribal Area in the Northwest, where Taliban and Al Qaeda support is strongest."
Scooter Libby was convicted in a witch hunt for not remembering what day he might have talked about a third rate CIA agent who wasn???t active and was peripheral to the matter at hand. Here, we know who the leaker is, and it is on a matter critical to our operations in Afghanistan and to the stability of our ally. Dianne Feinstein should be thrown out of the Senate immediately and prosecuted for revealing classified information to the public and endangering our troops.
The by-line says we can move on to Palin or global warming
The random attacks on the "Evil Liberal Agenda" are pretty humurous being that we are in the situation we are faced with today because of one of the most conservative administrations in our history, but I guess O'Reilley and the other Neo Conservatives need someone to point the finger at. I'm going to laugh in the face of all the @$$ hat Republican govenors when they say they aren't going to take the money, but then take it and say they didn't want it. Keep digging your graves the GOP should be finished with in the next 8 yrs, maybe the REAL Republican party will grab its balls and come back to the politcal stage...time will tell.
Dear Rev. Dildogrease,
Sorry I unnerved you. Of course you are right. As they used to say about Wonder Bread back during the Cold War, "Torture builds strong bodies 12 ways! And it tastes good, too!" What's not to like?
We're all human here, right?
Due to your searing essays here, I am right now torturing my Islamic neighbors. The whole family! I see what you mean. You wouldn't believe what they have told me. Now Rear Admiral McCain and I both know how to catch Bin Laden.
I'd tell you, but I'd have to waterboard you if I did.
BTW, Thanks for the attention. It means more than you know.
