It's Not Liberal and It's Not Blogging.
[Read the article: Angry, hateful liberal bloggers]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am so sick and tired of men glorifying their dicks that I could puke! Liberals, neocons, moderates, independents, libertarians,white, black, Latino, Chinese, - what difference does it make? You talk about your symbolic dicks constantly; show them in TV ads ad nauseum; start wars with them; brutalize women and children with them; wreck homes with them; create more deviant and oppressive regimes with them; justify your destructive attitudes with them; and just keep falling short no matter how much you brag, boast, swagger,kill, and maim.
When are any of you going to realize that you are failures as men, and as human beings, including those of you who say, "I haven't done anything." Men, as a species, are a complete failure. You should be extinct by now, like the dinosaurs and neanderthals that came before you. Selection of an embryo's gender never looked so good!
Men should be banned from positions of power. Their only real usefulness these days is for the upper body strength for lifing heavy boxes. But I think you all secretly know this and try harder to be even more cruel and abusive to justify your relevance to the rest of us.
Men are simply are not qualified to serve because the consequences of their dick-displaying just keep bringing the rest of the world down. Name a country - any country - where death, disease, greed, exploitation, crime, genocide, and otherwise disrespect for others exists - and I'll show you a man behind it all and at the top of the trash heap calling the shots (or probably firing the shots with his extended dick: his gun!).
Men are the predominate offenders of civil society; they commit the majority of crimes against society; they start the majority of the wars; they deliberately oppress others in order to keep their power share in play; they can't control their impulses to exploit others; they rape, beat, maim, and kill because Mommy didn't love them enough or some other bullshit excuse predicated on blaming yet another woman for their disturbing and deadly need to swagger around with power for the sake of power.
And shame on the powerless, brain-washed women who cheer them on! We need to round them up and start culling the herd.

Tell It To The Judge
[Read the article: The Bush administration's ties to Blackwater]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]After billions of taxpayer dollars have already been handed over to these Republican cronies, what do you expect anyone to do about it? Do you think anything will come of it? Can we get our money back? That's what I thought.
Let's see: About 4,000 U.S. soldiers'lives to make billions of dollars? And if we stay another 1, 2, or 5 years, that's...well...that's just a fantastic profit! Damn, gotta love it when the open markets work their magic for the capitalists. And hey, if it gets a little hot once in awhile, then just whip out a surge or some other strategy-of-the-week to keep American casualities low for awhile, and keep public opinion in check.
"Flies on their eyeballs?" Bin Laden's head in dry ice? These creeps are laughing their asses off at you, me, and the rest of the poor misguided Patriots who keep waving that American flag to feel good about the mess that is Iraq. And these guys just keep getting filthy rich off everyone's misery.
We have to hope that there's a special place in Hell for all of them, including Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rice, Rumsfield, and Tennet.

Get Yoursef Real First
[Read the article: Stop your sobbing]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's hard to tell if your beef is with those who want to have a better environment or yet another classic case of one intellectual competively showing off for a bunch of other intellectuals. Either way, get a grip. Who said that celebrating life (ourselves) is mutually exclusive with protecting the environment?
I may not have the stomach for the intellectual scholarship that you have chosen to cover here, but I do know this much:
1. We need clean water to drink for ourselves, our herds and crops, to wash our clothes in, and to cook with.
2. We need clean air to breathe.
3. We need soil that is free of dangerous chemicals that cause death or illness to humans and animals.
4. We need trees and other plant life to keep the air clean and to provide erosion controls to reduce flooding.
5. We need to stop populating the earth with so many humans whose additional billion lives create more demand upon the resources.
6. We need to clean up the food chain and demand that it be kept clean, free of disease, illnesses, and death.
Can you and the rest of the complainers and deciders just agree to those 6 things? If so, then what's the problem?
No one is asking you to have a spiritual breakdown or profound revelation in order to keep the water and air clean. It's common sense. If some feel more strongly about it than others, so what? It doesn't negate the fact that we need Items 1 through 6. However the hell it happens is fine with me!

Ah, Yes! It's Redemption Time
[Read the article: Karl Rove, George Allen and Larry Craig]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]One can almost set a watch by how fast the condemned have recovered and now set their sights on some redeeming act or other.
Rove: Oh, sorry, Mr.King of Mean and Sleeze, but there is nothing else you will ever do except be that "Bush guy." Seven years of you and him in the Oval Office, and a few more before together in Texas, says that was a career move. I mean, "Karl, get my jacket?" Geesh!
Allen: Stick with the football blog. No one wants you anymore. You haven't even figured out what you did wrong.
Craig: Your mother must be so proud! When the news broke - no, not that Hall of Fame stuff, but the other news - I remember wondering if creeps like you were haunting the men's restrooms when my son was growing up. It disgusted me to think that you were tippy-tapping your way to your next blow job while my son might have been in the next stall.
