[Read more letters about this article: Here]Aych is engaging in a form of intellectual dishonesty by trying to conflate the crime of graft and corruption with intellectual dishonesty.
Where did I mention graft and corruption?
Quotes please.
Politicians say things they do not believe as reflexively as their cardiac rhythm. That Paul does so does not make him unique, indeed if he were not to, that would be unique.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Another point I forgot to make is that the nineteenth amendment giving women the vote came between the eighteenth and twentieth.
Thus, women did not vote for Prohibition but voted against it.
That makes it even more strange, since you would expect women to be more in favor of banning alcohol than men.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Inexperience, however, is often audacious, as it imagines it need learn or know nothing more in order to solve all the problems in the world.
In other words, hire teenagers while they still know everything..

[Read more letters about this article: Here]So, thanks for paying attention to me, y'all. I beg you, don't stop now. It's all I ever wanted. You'll be grateful as my outsider-looking-in status permits me to see things that rest of you cannot.
If I wasn't getting to you, you wouldn't feel the need to try to get to me..
I predict your bunghole will get stretched tonight, with a saguaro.
Use a little pimentade instead of K-Y and it will enhance the burn..
A mixture of lime juice, salt and mashed habanero pepper.
Feel the burn, baby.

Salty
[Read the article: Mike Huckabee's leap of faith]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Salty is an old Marine Corps term for gear which pushes the limits of (primarily) the uniform requirements, usually by being obviously not new.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dying man couldn't make up his mind which place to go to -- both have their advantages, "heaven for climate, hell for company!" - Mark Twain's Notebooks and Journals, vol. 3
Keep in mind that the parable of the Good Samaritan makes it clear that mere piety alone is not sufficient to be a good person.
The Christ had two pious men, the Levite and the Priest, pass by the injured man as if he were rotten meat. And yet the very first unbeliever that came along took mercy on the man and offered him succor.
When I point out the obvious implication of this parable to "Christians" they usually find a reason to depart from my company with all due haste.
You can read the parable for yourself if you wish and make your own mind up as to the meaning.
Luke 10: 25And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Ever notice that the more "bipartisan support" there is for some policy in Washington the more likely that policy is to be an unmitigated disaster?
I wonder why that might be?

[Read the article: 9/11 Commission: Our investigation was "obstructed"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]In the case of Abu Zubayda, there has been a theory kicking around for a while that he tied the 9/11 attacks back to senior figures in the Saudi and Pakistani governments.
And the Saudi government at least has strong ties to the Bush family.

[Read the article: 9/11 Commission: Our investigation was "obstructed"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What I do think about is that the Patriot Act was conceived and written AND ACCEPTED by Congress on Oct 24, 2001, 43 days after 9/11.
The only reason they waited that long is so there would be a fig leaf, however so small, of plausibility.
That document had been written by PNAC long before 9/11/2001, just look at their longing for a "new Pearl Harbor" and that becomes glaringly obvious.
There are entirely too many Irish pennants on the uniform of 9/11.. One really good jerk and the entire garment will completely unravel.
The only question is whether anyone will have the fortitude to jerk the thread.
