No offense to Amity, but it was obvious that it was satire...and I don't know Amity, Kitt or Adnoto.

(I'm not especially bright either). -- ForestStone

Well, please don't take any of this the wrong way but, the way I see it, that is both a good and a bad thing.

It is good in the sense that you have obviously not been exposed to enough common, everyday wingnut insanity. It is actually a bit unnerving once one has seen enough not to be able to tell the difference if you get my meaning.

It is bad for the same reasons... because you don't know that many, many, many wingnuts say and believe a good portion of the very things that Amity writes. It is never good to not know your enemy.

Ah well, my only point was that there are plenty of very intelligent and decent folk who rightly can no longer tell the difference. And, given that fact, is it worth the effort and potential pain it might cause them (not to mention them having to suffer dunces like Kitt inadvertently calling them stupid) when they have plenty of real wingnuttery costing them a fortune in blood pressure medicine?

I am probably in the minority but, for the above reasons, I no longer see the value of it. Even as I do personally find Amity's satire entertaining and believe wholeheartedly that s/he believes s/he is doing what s/he can, I also see it as just another sad reminder that we live in an utterly insane world.

I don't know why you guys don't believe he is who and what he says he is. I completely believe it, but then I spent 6 years of my life with feeble brained, morons like him who had been propagandized to the very top of their high and stupids.

Sir -- and I call him Sir because a) I believe he is who and what he says he is and b) because I had to actually get a sat. haircut, fucking work for a living and carry pack and hump my ass to and fro, so...

Sir, I would recommend you not continue to embarrass the Marine Corps (or the Squidly's as the case may be) by taking on your intellectual superiors in this fashion. Now I am not advocating that you retreat... no, no... just fight in a different direction because, right now, my learned compatriots (or just patriots for short) are turning this place into the Frozen Chosin. Perhaps if you read some books other than those on the Recommended Reading List for Marines (excepting Gen. Butler's of course... that is if it was ever listed, I can't recall), perhaps if you read a few books like the aforementioned All the Shah's Men, Overthrow (by the same author, Kinser) and War Is A Racket by our very own Gen. Butler, you might be able to then move on intellectually and eventually even locate, close with and destroy the true enemy to the "American way" (which I promise you is not these "liberals").

Just a few friendly suggestions... Sir.

sux to be him

You gotta be saving the world from tyranny, else you're just dropping bombs on poor people. Damn, that would suck. -- karrsic

It does (not that I ever dropped bombs on anyone)... but the realization that you are/were, by and large, an enforcer for the moneyed elite and corporate America is an incredibly painful shock to the system. It gives any person with even the least bit of humanity pause. The question is does Hornet Driver have that least bit of humanity? If he does can he get in touch with it? I am not sure because I have several buddy's that have never been able to find theirs.

Why are you people so eager to defend the Iranians but tear down our own military? -- Stan Babco

Come on Stan, give it a rest. You don't honestly see it that way do you? Some of us commenting here were part of "our military" for a time.

No one is tearing down our military as far as I can tell. People were tearing into a rightwing authoritarian warmonger who was in way over his mutton filled head. Does merely telling the truth now constitute an eagerness to tear down our military?

Most of the so called liberals that post on this site "support the troops" in the only way that matters at this point. Namely they would rather our troops don't have to go off and get shot to shit for lies and moneyed interests and want to bring them out of that illegal occupation quagmire ASAP. In other words, they support them in the exact opposite ways that BushCo and Haliburton "support the troops." BushCo, Haliburton, Big Oil etc. -- they don't support the troops. Hell they don't even support America. They support only themselves and their bottom line.

Criminal charges can punish individuals for their crimes, but impeachment has the power to restore the rule of law, and redeem the office of the executive. Impeachment hearings will put the truth on the congressional record. Unlike other subpoenas, impeachment subpoenas cannot be denied.

Impeachment establishes legal precedent, so that future public officials will not be able to abuse power in the same way. The American people can signal to the world that they have taken responsibility for their own government, and ensure that torture will never again be this nation’s policy.

Still trying to gather your thoughts on the subject Glenn? Kucinich is going to reintroduce his articles of impeachment in 30 days. It's not going to take you that long to say something about this, is it?

Bill Moyers talks to Bruce Fein and John Nichols about impeachment... A must see video from nearly a year ago.
