To Bill from Dawggone

So, you are intelligent enough to distinguish Tim McVeigh (and those Christian militia members who supported and aided him, but you ignore) from the rest of the Christian community, yet you paint all Muslims with the same brush?

Obviously you have not read the Koran, for if you did you would discover it does not order Muslims to "kill the infidel" any more than your Bible orders Christians to kill the Muslims and convert them to Christianity. Not that many religious leaders haven't called for that since the days of the Crusades

Bill, you do agree that to assume all Muslims are like Osama Bin Laden is at best ignorant and at worst racist?

I have no way of knowing if the prisoners in Guantanamo are enemby combatants since they are denied any realistic due process to determine whether they really are enemies or merely the victims of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I do know that many former "enemy combatants" sitting in Guantanamo were released after much efforts by their country or those "traiter lawyers" who discovered they were not guilty of anything and were just kidnapped and sold like slaves to the US for the bounty we put on their heads.

Bill, you do agree that the deprivation of life, liberty or property without due process of law is inherently unjust as set out in our Constitution?

Thanks for the resume, Bill. Of course, if you ever saw the Wizard of Oz you would know a piece of paper, even two, does not make a strawman a professor.

No, from where he's from

It's called the war of Northern aggression.

What is significant is that for the first time the press knows he knows what is going on and intentionally lying about it.

The question I missed

Why is he making a public issue out of this? We know that Bush and his cronies only make statements for purposes of controlling the media and the public. If they knew Iran was supplying weapons they would respond in their own way without making a public case out of it. They do that when they know Russia is supplying weapons to Iran, when China is helping North Korea, and when Israel is helping Iran or other so called axes of evil. They keep it quiet and handle it quietly. Not this time.

This is the administration banging the war drums. The worst part is they may actually do something because 1) they like past administrations are so wedded to the concept that airpower really accomplishes something (it doesn't and most often backfires - The Christmas bombing of Hanoi ended not when North Vietnam caved in, but because we ran out of targets).

Trust me. I promise I won't come in your mouth. I'm from the government I'm here to help you.

If this son of bitch so much as drops a potato across the Iranian border he and his lackeys should be dropkicked into the Hague. If not, then we are all war criminals. Bush's willing executioners.

Slickery, what an appropriate name

Yes, as a liberal I am so filled with hate. Hate toward all those god faithed mom and apple pie and puppy dog things you great conservative stand for.

I so hate gays I froth at the mouth trying to pass a defense of marriage act.

I so hate liberty that I call a special session to keep a woman in vegetative state alive because who are we the american people to speak for ourselves.

I so hate the press that I monitor calls without a court order and even out covert agents charged with protecting us from people trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction.

I so hate a multi party system that in 1968 I sent secret envoys to South Vietnam to scuttle the peace talks promising I would give South Vietnam a better deal, thus ensuring the death of thousands of Americans. I felt so good about this hate that when supporting Ronal Reagon I sent a secret mission to Iran in 1980 to Iran promising them a better deal if they scuttled peace talks with Carter. I even followed up by selling them weapons to finance my hatefilled illegal war in Nicaragua.

I as a liberal am so filled with uncontrolled rage that when I heard that Bill Clinton might have had consensual oral sex with an adult intern I blew at least twelve anuerisms. I screemed for his head, and ignored his obviously lying pleas to go after Al Quaida as a wag the dog trick and demanded his impeachment for having better sex than I did.

I'm so filled with hate it never occured to me to treat congressional interns with respect when I demanded the tack off their clothes and masturbate for me.

I'm so filled with hate I actually called a decorated war veteran named Jack Murtha a coward even though I hid under the bed when Vietnam called.

I'm so filled with hate I paid Michelle Malkin to go on TV and imply that John Kerry's wounds were self inflicted.

I'm so filled with hate that I think anyone who doesn't bow down and worship our president not just because he is our commander and chief and even though I've been out of the military for twenty years he still should order me around, but because he gets his orders straight from God and Jesus themselves that anyone who disagrees should be taken out and shot for treason.

I'm so filled with hate for the gay loving, liberal supporting, illegal immigrant encouraging scum instead of the I love God and Jesus Commander in Chief who's word is the word of God and all who disagree should be shipped off to concentration camps in Guantanamo, that it makes me wake up each morning raising my arm in salute and screaming Sieg Heil!

Yes, what a wonderful America we could live in if we could just slaughter all us hatefilled liberals.

I hear Xylon gas works most efficiently.
