Amnesty killed McCain, along with the McCain/Feingold incumbency protection and the Gang of 14 scuttling of judicial appointments. McCain's toadying to the mainstream media finally caught up with him. Let his fate be a lesson to all those Democrats who recently won in Republican territory. These and other Amnesty traitors, like Lindsey Graham, Trent Lott, etc. will be next in line to get whacked.
I am highly mistrustful of these elitist do-gooders. This person got into journalism, as she admits, not to tell the truth, but to "change foreign policy". This is precisely the sort of agenda-driven propaganda that has misled so many Americans into thinking we are indeed the Great Satan that the lib-fascists drum into the heads of all those Harvard preppies she teaches. I'm with P.J. O'Rourke - people like this who say they "only want to make the world a better place" should be locked up.
What was "tragic" about Chappaquiddick? Ted got away with it. The victim was blameless. "Tragedy", when the protagonist brings about his own downfall, has elements of empathy. You can't feel empathy for someone who gets away scot free with no consequences. Kennedy has done immense damage over nearly 50 years. Thank God it is nearly at an end at long last. He failed at the only good thing he ever tried, which was to beat Jimmy Carter.
You are slandering JFK calling him a liberal. By today's standards, he would be considered a moderately conservative Republican, certainly more conservative than Juan McCain.
The patrician Kennedys tolerated the Arkansas Hillbillys as long as they didn't stink things up too much, but when it came to skirt-chasing, sloppy ol' horny hound dog Bill just did not show the kind of class that the Kennedys demand. Cigars, for God's sake. In the Oval Office. Sacrilege.
It was great entertainment while it lasted, though.
What would feminists say if Gloria Steinem's husband showed up at her office, walked into a board meeting, and sternly lectured the members of the board of directors on where they needed to improve the operation?
Does Bill Gates's wife address the stockholders or give a keynote address at the annual super-geek convention?
Why do the spouses of candidates feel that they have the right to inflict themselves on us? FLOTUS is nowhere in the Constitution. It has no official status. Congress has perpetuated a fraud by granting taxpayer money to support this throwback to the monarchy.
Michelle Obama has no business butting in to her husband's campaign, regardless of what he thinks. We aren't voting for a royal family, despite the media's insistence. Michelle Obama should keep her big mouth shut.
Anthony Kennedy continues his dismemberment of the Constitution. First, he eliminated the right of private property in Kelo. Now he gives foreign terrorists, who refuse to honor any law or convention, the rights that American citizens, and only American citizens, are entitled to under our Constitution.
Anthony Kennedy is a dimwitted egomaniac and his decision illustrates why the Supreme Court, and all judges, must be brought to heel. We cannot have these dictators ruling that we must commit suicide just to flatter their overblown sense of importance. It's time to get rid of the Supreme Court. It is a dangerous cancer in the bowels of America.
Bush hatred has transformed into love for terrorists. Anthony Kennedy has handed us over to the Muslim throatcutters. I hope he is sitting in his office when al Qaeda pops a nuke on DC. Anyone who sees this as a habeus corpus issue is delusional. Unlawful combatants have the right to a swift execution, nothing more. Anyone who supports Gitmo terrorists deserves the same.
Well over 90% of "scientists" work for the government, and their jobs depend on their willingness to spout the liberal-fascist party line. Any "scientist" associated with a college or university is especially suspect, since it is an established fact that no conservatives are allowed to be associated with universities or colleges.
All of the propaganda that has been coming out in the media about human-caused climate change has been generated, not by scientists, but by marxist political operatives under the control of Al Gore and the government.
Until universities are federally de-funded, purged of liberal-fascist apparatchiks, and allowed to return to freedom of thought, especially in their scientific research and scientific publishing, there is no way that any sane person can believe anything that they generate. There is not one shred of unbiased scientific evidence supporting the theory of greenhouse gases, the theory of climate change, the theory of human-caused climate change, or the theory that liberal-fascist mandated regulation will have one scintilla of effect on climate.
The motives of the liberal-fascists are plain - totalitarian control of the world economy, eradication of private property, and population control. The free world hangs in the balance, and the concept of freedom and democracy will depend on our ability to thwart the liberal fascists.
