thank you and good night
[Read the article: Memorial Day]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]From PoliticalRealityOnline we have "Your illiterate, nonsensical hatespeak...hatespeak venom...vitriol" about my post.
I'm sorry, I wasn't hating you, I was ridiculing your post, as in "speech or action intended to cause contemptuous laughter at a person or thing; derision."[dictionary.com] This is not hate so don't get your knickers in such a twist. You seem to think that your post exhibits superior thought and analysis and warrents a more detailed response, but in fact it is nothing more than a tired rant that has been heard numerous times from people like you that called others traitors when we opposed this fools errand from the start, and now in the desperation of one who has caused a train wreck and is searching for a scapegoat you seek to distract from the part you played in this fiasco and expect others to listen when you shout about what needs to be done now and in the future. Get over it, your analysis is worth nothing. Especially in response to a beautiful piece by Gary which attempts to begin the healing immediately.

Grand Canyon: ha!
[Read the article: Inside the Creation Museum]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I know I am preaching to the choir here, but there are very simple, easily understood refutations to the Grand Canyon being created by the rush of receding waters of the Flood.
1. The Colorado Plateau slopes north-to-south. A rush of water would go south into Arizona, since water runs down hill, not west to the Gulf of California.
2. A rush of water tends to cut straight canyons since momentum carries things in a straight line. The Grand Canyon, however, is sinuous like a normal river canyon.
3. The Grand Canyon has numerous side canyons that are just as deep as the main canyon. A rush of water cannot cut side canyons that are perpendicular to the direction of the water.
Just my 2 cents as a Grand Canyon backpacker.

Just more examples
[Read the article: The corporate takeover of U.S. intelligence]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]of the corporate looting of America. Welcome to democracy bought and paid for by the corporations that run this country (into the ground) for their profit.

Apologies for my irreverent earlier post,
[Read the article: What Democrats need to learn about power]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]but this is why the article is meaningless.
In the first case the republicans fired real arrows at a steel armored President Clinton, and kept up the attack until an outraged public forced them to quit.
In the latter case the democrats fired rubber bands at a paper armored President Bush, and quit when he gave them a dirty look.
This is hardly proof that the President has the power over Congress. If the democrats had half the spine of the republicans we might have learned the truth of this matter, but they don't. Perhaps a spinal stem-cell implant will improve matters in September, but don't hold your breath.

As for straightening things out,
[Read the article: Ron Paul is blowing up real good]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]his proposals are not a bad place to start. Nobody is going to agree on everything but you've got to start somewhere, and this would make as good a place as any.

Hillary
[Read the article: Will the real Hillary please stand up?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]To begin with, there is her inability to say that her vote for the war was a mistake. She just can't form the words, it is foreign to her. This is a window into her soul, her inability to acknowledge a mistake. Sounds too much like a bush we all hate, no thank you.
She says that, based on what she knows now she wouldn't have voted for the use of force. That's like a driver, seeing in their rear-view mirror that something fell out of their car, parks on a railroad track, runs back to get it, only to watch as a train hits their car and kills their whole family. Then, based on watching the accident, they say they wouldn't park on a railroad track again. Amazing. We need someone smart enough to know, before the fact, that parking on a railroad track is a mistake. She isn't it.

tiberius
[Read the article: "A null set"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Are you a member of the "we determine reality" set? The inspectors were there and they were inspecting in spite of Saddam.
Not only that, but all the while the inspectors were in Iraq, Rumsfeld and other were telling us that we knew where the weapons were. However, we refused to pass that information on to the inspectors, putting us in violation of the UN resolution calling on all parties to cooperate in the effort.

natural function
[Read the article: Hot, homophobic pseudoscience]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]When this guy talks about the 'natural function' of parts of the body he forgets one thing: nature is replete with examples where a natural function developed, then nature ended up using that function for other purposes because it served other purposes. When something develops in nature it does not become locked to only one thing. If nature can find multiple uses it will. Humans are just mimicking that function of nature.

A veneer of science
[Read the article: Hot, homophobic pseudoscience]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]is all they have. They are constantly trying to couch their beliefs in the terms of science, probably because they personally need that to believe. Similar to 'Creation Science' where you just anounce how things are, maybe you could call this 'creation biology'. You can't argue with them because all they want and need is the veneer; the target audience has a hard time going deeper.

My theory: they just sprung Paris
[Read the article: We'll always hate Paris]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And right under our noses.
Paris went to jail originally, where they took her photograph, prints signatures etc and registered with all of the proper id of the real Paris Hilton. Then they let her out, she is wisked to an Itialian Villa while her double takes her place in jail. Beautiful.

Dear Joe
[Read the article: Joe Lieberman, warmongering centrist]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Iran is not killing American soldiers, you are. Just as if you pointed the gun and pulled the trigger, you personally are responsible for the deaths of American soldiers. You. Joe Lieberman.
