Brilliant!
[Read the article: Mitt Romney's pursuit of tyrannical power, literally]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Anyone who wears magical underwear and believes in disembodied spirits flying around waiting to be born does not belong in anything other than a Mad House, certainly not the White House. Someone earlier asked if they thought another commenter was accusing Mitt Romney of being a liar, as if (1) it weren't so and (2) it would come as a surprise to anyone. If anything Mormons have proven to be particularly adept at being liars from day one, and changing their own "prefect, received" dogma whenever it becomes politically convenient for them (or when the public rightly gets wind of the fact that they are more of a scam than a religion, if that statement makes any sense, sort of a Scientology for the 19th Century).
Furthermore, while it must take some kind of "smarts" to get an MBA, these MBA's are the same morons who got us into the mortgage mess in the first place. Don't confuse ambition and book smarts with decency and common sense, the latter two qualities I often times find missing from anyone who has failed upward into any sort of senior management in the corporate world.
I was in San Francisco in 2003, and I remember the net result of so many of these best-and-brightest Abercrombie and Fitch wearing douche-bags calling the shots. I certainly would not want another one of these knuckle-draggers in the White House.
If Shooter242 lusts for and Authoritarian Daddy Type, maybe he and David Zuckermensch would make good "bed fellows", since DZ seems to crave some sort of fealty out of those of us who don't toe the line like we used to. A pound of man flesh for you, sir!
And certainly, there is nothing wrong with that, as long as the two are consenting and healthy enough for such activities. While David may tone his body with Krav Manga, it would seem Shooter is stuck to his chair all day long. Get a dog! Not only will it love you no matter what idiot things you believe, but you will have to walk it 3 or 4 times a day, burning off all those Coors and Cheetos calories accrued trolling Salon.com all day!
I like Bebop-O's prose. I didn't at first, but I relish it on Sunday's before going back into the daily grind. I am no Bebop, and so I will not blow sunshine up the ass of shooter or Sugarman, both of whom I find to hold despicable views. But I am young and impetuous, and I do not hold my tongue or suffer fools lightly.
Also, what is up with Ron Pauliac? Seriously, what the hell are you talking about?

Huzzah!

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bashing me as a partisan is substantive? I think not. Just business as usual.
Bashing you as a partisan who is nearly always wrong. Even a stuck clock is right twice a day, as someone famously said. On average, that is 1.98 times more right per day than you are.
If Salon.com letters were like a political horror burlesque, reading your contributions is like a trip to the Grand Guignol.
Bravo, sir.

Merry whatever!

[Read more letters about this article: Here]To all, even shooter242, have a great holiday.
Seconded. And a happy Hannuka to David Sugarman. Peace on Earth, isn't that what the Son of God, who gave his life for our salvation, wanted?
To all my homo sapien-sapien brothers and sisters, I wish peace. Religion has one thing right, if not in practice, that we are all a family, and we share this blue marble planet as a homestead. And whether we came in to being out of dumb luck or from the will of some greater being, still, we are all the same.
So, to my family of women and men, I say, peace be upon you in this cold cold winter. If we survive it, as some surely won't, let us all make a better world for one another. Seasons greetings to all,
Christopher Michael Neill,

There's the rub..

[Read more letters about this article: Here]He also thinks the world and the universe are 6000 years old and our ancestors rode dinosaurs to school. Whatever you are smoking and/or drinking today, I want some. Kick down.
Maudite! And Rioja! And steaks.. and probably a few joints to be shared by my compadres over the Webber.
Sadly, a plural minority of Americans share the belief in a young Earth (shamefully, some members of my own extended family). And the slower and more monosyllablically we try to explain to them in so many words that a person who believes men and dinosaurs walked the Earth together is a moron, the tighter they close their eyes and ears and hum and ignore you.
Anyway, a Huckabee/Clinton contest is a real possibility. So real, in fact, that I have a $50 bet riding on it, to be paid out after the election next year.
I bet on Huckabee. There's a side bet on Dem/Rep, that's $20. I bet on the Republicans. I'd gladly fork over $70 of my hard earned cash if Americans turn out to not be the morons I take them for.
On the other hand, if they are stupid enough to elect Huckabee, I'll have CASH MONEY to provide some solace.
Feliz Homo Sapiens Sapiens!

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Ah yes, creation "scientists." I am aware that many of them would pass a working definition of intelligent; That's why I have my own circular definition of what a moron is: anyone who believes in invisible men in the sky and humans roasting up Brontosaurus steaks over the campfire. Creationists like circular arguments anyway, who am I to take that away from them?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Climbing up on the cross there with the Jeez, and John McCain, but too much of a coward to use your real name. Listen up, mister Loaves and Fish, no need to go in secret, you brother in Christ. We aren't throwing you to the lions anymore (as much as that image fills me with glee whenever I find myself drawn into the Thought Free Zone on Faux News).
