I think you should retire "Islamofascist" for similar reasons. It's meaning has been hijacked and the damage is irreversable.

I tend to agree with that, and they can be labeled as "clerical fascists" (along with all kinds of counterparts in other faiths). Perhaps in arcane academic journals seeking to discriminate among various religious fascist movements, "Islamofascism" should survive, but otherwise it has, as you say, been hijacked. Which is why I never employ the term unless I go into a dissertation about clerical fascism. And who has time to always do that?

Homosexuals

Them, and atheist/secularists. But it is ok for Bill O'Reilly to hate secularists and proffer all manner of calumny about us. We are not citizens, just worthy of death.

Does this Al-Qaeda organization who, according to some, has more than ONE BILLION members (i.e., muslims) have any junior members? or extras, or soldiers, or house cleaners? How many senior members do they have anyway?

I want to see an organization chart of Al-Qaeda. Can I see the one you are working on Golden Boy?

OBL is number 1. Every other Muslim who has ever even spoken to a relative of OBL is Al Qaeda's Number 2 operative. A lot of the latter have been killed per the Bush Admin, but they are legion.

Again,

Article II, Section 2: "The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states ..."

Commander in chief. The guy who runs the show day-to-day. Who tells units where to go, what to do, when to do it, etc.

Please tell me where I'm wrong?

Glenn already cited where you are wrong. Per your "interpretation," Congress has no business legislating the Uniform Code of Military Justice (Title 10, Subtitle A, Part II, Chapter 47 of the United States Code). But within what Congress broadly passes, the President makes the day-to-day decisions -- per the war-making and armed forces levels and Rules Congress allots him.

Did you ever ask yourself exactly why it is that we need 750,000 people perpetually poised for combat?

Most excellent question. The Founders warned of the danger of standing armies.

We need a military, but not a Wehrmacht.

As I understand it, Glenn's blog requires that comments be posted either: (1) under one's registered name, or (2) as "anonymous." So. Some of the anons may be cowards choosing not to use their registered name when making particular points. I believe one must have a registered name even to access comments and reach the point of choosing anon for a particular comment. Cowardice is thus the likely explanation for at least some of them.

Would someone please tell someone because I swore off ever talking to that someone, that his headline sure says it all about him.

Simply stop responding, directly or indirectly. Do y'all need a 12 Step Program to do that?! Ohmygawd, surely you are not powerless against the likes of shooter.

Just. Say. No.

She had the right idea, if pro-war trolls were akin to pot. Which they're not. Cannabis never killed anyone.

Everyone make this of Jebbie's comment:

Oh, Mona!

Yes, Dear.

And we'll all get along fine. :)

I was just ribbin' you. Don't take it as an insult.

Oh goodness, I knew that. I guess my failure to "get" WT's humor some weeks back might lead some to think I don' recognize good-natured fun. But I did this time. :)

Maybe for the next year and half or so...

...we could use "Bushibboleth"

Clever! I like.

I'm an Irish-American Catholic by culture (but a non-theist in matters of "faith"), and some of the most rancid, totally insane codswollap was said about the Irish-dominated, American Catholic Church in the 19th and 20th centuries. Recently, I read a superb book about the history of Church in America (which is an 80% Irish-Catholic history) -- yesteryear's anti-Catholic bigotry was based on some reality. As the (Catholic) author points out, there were kernels of truth in some of what the anti-Catholic, Know-Nothings said. Rome really DID preach that our BoR and democracy were "modernist" heresies. It was hard for American clergy to try to separate themselves from the constant, putrid crap issuing from the Vatican. Some of the more "liberal" bishops were considered the equivalent of the "self-hating Jew," in that they simply would not implement the absurd, anti-modernist nonsense issuing from the reactionary Popes or other American bishops, including demands that Catholics owed their first loyalty to Rome.

But much of the Know-Nothing spewings were sheerly made-up crap involving, oh, supposed Bacchanalian revelries among nuns and priests with their murdered babies buried in church grounds, Catholics were hiding guns in church basements to take over the nation for the Pope & etc. Ignorant, bigoted anti-Catholicism co-existed with legitimate criticism of the faith. Burned convents and murders of priests resulted from this filth. It was for a long, long time very hard to have a dispassionate discussion about American Catholics.

And so it is now with the Jews. It is impossible to discuss contemporary foreign policy distortions in the West without addressing neocons, AIPAC and Zionism, and, yes, that a small but influential number of Jews drive the AIPIC strain. I had a hard time coming to accept that, but it just is the case. When I learned I had a Jewish great-great-great-grandmother (who converted to the Church), I was delighted -- Mom and Dad, however, turned green and then threw up.

I suggest you check out some of the info at the "Jews in Green" blog for who is serving and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan.
