Jack Bauer isn't a real person by the way

some of you Repubs think he is. You thought Rambo was real too. Nope. Jack Bauer is really the aging son of an Old Hippie who was left at the altar by Julia Roberts, named after a yogurt drink and has a problem with booze. You people live in a paranoid fantasy.

Neo-Cons look back before the American Revolution, before the Enlightenment

before the signing of Magna Carta all the way back to Ancient Rome and Sparta (not Athens). Google Leo Strauss or Irving Kristol and be dismayed. They really dreamed of taking us back to what they see as a better moral idea. Dubya is such a goofus they molded him like Play Dough. This has got to be one of the most bizarre things to ever happen to America. Like they put us in a time machine and tried to return to Barbarism.

Maggie Gallagher - The Marriage Lady - said once -

"There is an argument against torture Mr. President (Bush), it's called Christianity."

I'm an atheist myself, but she's right. It took the Xtians a long time to get around to it, but it's hard to see Jesus water boarding anybody. I know Bush talks to Jesus a lot, I wonder does he ever listen???

John McCain said it best -

"It (Torture) isn't about them - it's about us." This goes over some peoples' heads, but it ain't rocket science. Only sickos practice torture and we don't wanna be sickos. (Of course, McCain sold out to get the Repub Nomination, but what he said still holds.)

I'm pessimistic about the effects of optimism, but

I don't wanna be Captain Bringdown either, so here's hoping the next eight years are better than the last eight years.

What would have happened without the bailout?

It didn't look good. I don't know anybody who thinks we could have sat back and watched the financial sector collapse. Of course The Dubya Bunch did a bad job of it - that goes without saying. Can Obama force the banks to start lending the bailout money?

E M Stokeven - I'll assume yer being sarcastic about hunting and gardening

there isn't enough wild game left to feed a band of Apaches let alone the hordes of Americans. I'm already into gardening, but it's just a hobby. If things get that bad we'll be eating each other like the Easter Islanders.

"With Malice towards none - with charity for all" Bad Idea

Lincoln had a great deal of malice towards the Confederates. The Confederates (Shelby, Corker et. al.) have a great deal of malice for Obama. But he wants to "bind up the nations' wounds". Good luck with that. With Malice towards some ....

Obama wants to be a uniter, not a divider -bad idea

Nobody can unite this country. The Repubs know this - they make war to the knife on us. We always reach across the aisle to them. When we will ever learn?

Original article: Bill Moyers on Israel/Gaza

A Pox on Both Their Houses

It just ain't my problem. For those who haven't noticed, we're looking down the barrel of the Second Great Depression. I want to re-build Americas' industrial base. I want a Middle Class Govt. I want America to look out for America and let the rest of the world solve its own problems - or go to Hell, whichever they prefer.

misaac The Palistinians started this war - they can stop it.

I'm not asking Israel to stop the war - I just want them to start paying their own bills. No more free money and weapons from the U.S. Americans are sick of footing the bill for this never-ending bloodshed. Cut funding to both sides and let them have at it.

We Good Guys - They Bad Guys!

Actually, yer both bad guys and I say to Hell with ya. Time we tended our own garden for a while. It's getting kind of weedy.

Can't make the connection between Georgia and Gaza

Bad news on both counts. Neo-cons think Russia can do no right and Israel can do no wrong. Plenty of wrong for everybody - including the whackdoodle who runs Georgia.

Why is this Obamas' 'first crisis'???

He's not the President of Israel. Israel is a sovereign nation. I don't know what Hamas is but they ain't Americans. Time for the U S to acknowledge we are not the New Romans. It's not our job to run the world. These people made the mess - let them clean it up.

Israelis and Palistinians deserve each other

they want to fight may the best man whip. My plan is to get America out of the mess. Israel is not the 51st state in the American Union. Cut the funding to both sides. We got bills of our own to pay.

Never had anything to do with religion???

War in the 'Holy Land' has nothing to do with religion. Bizarre statement. Zionism is a mad adventure and mad as only religion can be mad. Islamism is certainly as bad if not worse. Religion really does poison everything.

Double standard on 'terra'

Israelis used terror to drive the British out of Israel. The bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem is the best known example. Why was 'terra' okay for the Irgun and the Stern Gang, but not for Hamas???

omooex - you don't want it to be a religious war

but it is and always has been. Remember the theme song from the movie Exodus

This land is mine

God gave this land to me

welcomerain Conason would not be spinning

anything he didn't have a scrap of evidence to support. That's a right-wing game.

Bellatrix Lestrange - I'm a native Floridian and

My in-laws are Minnesotans. My dad in law snow birds - winter here - summers there. My sister in laws live in Alaska and we go up for the salmon run every year we can make it. Which of the three is most insane? Hard to say. Things can only get so crazy, then you just compare madness to madness. But the craziest state of all is Nevada. Get married by an Elvis impersonator and divorced when you sober up next morning! A-yup.

I never said Dubya stole 2000

Because I don't have any evidence that he did. There's a thing called respect for the truth - Flush Slimeball and Adams' Apple Annie Coulter don't have it.

Can't prove it - won't shut up -Who cares

What the Hyena Pack on talk radio and Faux Noise say anyhow? Not me and not Al either.
