Applying logic to the illogical:
[Read the article: Bush's old world disorder]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]By listening to the Bushists and their never ending blather about progress, at a certain point, one should take them at their word. When they express optimism and claim that they are making progress, one must assume that the result that they make no apologies or adjustments towards, is in fact, their actual goals.
This administration is either criminally incompetent, or brilliant as anarchists who have brought ruin and chaos to everything they have touched.

Mr. Rove is a criminal of the state and a enemy of democracy.
[Read the article: Karl Rove is ... right?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Rightly or wrongly, what the democrats have failed to do is to play politics in the manner defined by Karl Rove and Republican party and practiced by Republican's with increasing viciousness over the past decade.
Remember, it's the Republican's who tried to take over this country over a blow-job and effectively hamstrung the job of the former president in his elected office. Democrats did not dismantle FEMA, install a corrupt and criminal Attorney General, start an illegal war in Iraq, out a undercover CIA agent, run the deficit into the trillions, replaced professionals at every level of government with sycophantic appointees with no relevant experience to the job they are given. The Democrats are not the ones who at every turn have stonewalled the constitutional process granted to congress to do their job and perform the oversight as required by law and the constitution.
There is a lot to dismantle here, remember, the Bushists, Neocons and Republican legislators were truly trying to make this a one party system and take over the country to do a larger version of what they have already done. The Democratic Party has decided that it is better to attempt to salvage the way in which this country was designed to work, according to the constitution, then to engage in the sort of tactics that have ruined our system of government for the sake of ideological certitude.
The damage Mr. Rove and company have wrought on this country will take a generation to repair. However, to achieve a balance again of our democracy will take the somewhat more pedantic and legal approach to government then Mr. Rove's steroid like all out assault techniques he has espoused and practiced all these years.

Conservative values....
[Read the article: Divided we stand]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]But, but, look at all that conservatives have brought to America since they took over in 2000!

fact is never angry....
[Read the article: CNN's Blitzer lets John Bolton lie about Libya, Iraq]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Stevio.... your letter wasn't that angry. I was going to write that John Bolton is an asshole, and should be put on trial in the Hague for war crimes along with the rest of the Bushists and Neocons. Whereas you presented a reasonable point of debate regarding the corporate media and their complicity and support of the criminal enterprise running America today.

The Commuter Ruse
[Read the article: Ask the pilot]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The whole traffic thing is a bit beyond me, I admit that. But many times airlines that have hourly flights will perform the 'Commuter Ruse' as I call it. It works like this.... The flight you are on is delayed for an hour for (insert excuse here). Then the flight after you is cancelled (insert another excuse here). Fortunately, there is enough space for the cancelled flight to all fit onto the flight that was delayed for an hour. One plane, two loads of people, more profit.... and all it takes is a little professional lie.
Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but since it has happened many times to me with subtle variations to keep the script fresh, I stand by my premise that it is a tactic to consolidate flights without having to admit to it.

Innocent?
[Read the article: A defense fund for Gonzales? How quaint]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]There is nothing innocent about advocating disregard for the Geneva convention.
There is nothing innocent about ignoring the treason and sedition of outing a covert agent for the CIA.
There is nothing innocent about aiding and abetting war crimes, crimes against humanity and crimes against the peace.
There is nothing innocent about ignoring the constitution and the rule of law.
There is nothing innocent about one million, two hundred thousand dead as a result of an illegal war in Iraq.

Another day, another failure departs the SS Turdblossom...
[Read the article: Two Georges, one king]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Buh-bye Fran. The country is not safer, we are sinking into the mire thanks to your man who is lifting the age.... but unlike George Washington, your man George Bush is lifting the age like a shoplifter. He should have been caught a long time ago. It's all on the security cameras.... oh... wait... you were watching the security cameras... Never mind. Thanks for nothing Fran.

Larry's not gay, his boyfriend is.
[Read the article: Craig denies new gay sex allegations]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You go girl! You tell that nasty paper what liars they are! In fact, sue them for defamation of character. Just because you go on the down-low every now and then doesn't mean your gay- especially, if you are a member of the very hypocritical Lie, Cheat and Steal Party (formerly known as the Republican party). It should be no ones business if you occasionally like to have a man suck your cock, or/and visa versa.
Oh... wait a minute Larry.... you are against all that aren't you? My bad. Oh well. Karma's a bitch.

When the truth and the lies no longer make a difference.
[Read the article: What didn't the president know (and when didn't he know it)?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What is worse? A president who leaves office with a ten trillion dollar deficit, and a destroyed national infrastructure (and perhaps utterly shatter our economy)? Or a president who engages in an illegal war, shows utter contempt for the constitution and engages in war crimes?
Oops, my bad, he's done all of that.
My point being, it really doesn't matter whether he tells the truth or not at this point, whatever his thinking, whatever his actions, the result will be failure and catastrophe.

The crooks at the controls....
[Read the article: The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the enemy of the human race]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm sorry, am I missing something here? Is it legal for our tax dollars to be spent lobbying against the legislative branch of our government (also paid for by our tax dollars)? Never mind the cheap ministry of propaganda look of the piece. This is disgusting. If you are a Republican, be ashamed, very ashamed, because your party is nothing more then the Lie, Cheat, and Steal party, and they are destroying America.
