I am nobody's clone, but it's amusing to be called one by a John Birch Society clown. You can shove Ben Franklin's printing press, along with your other straw-man "challenges," up your deceitful, delusional, self-righteous ass.

My, my what an intellectual we have here!

A 'straw man challenge' says a coward who will not state that he supports Ben Franklin's right to own his press; a simple question that most Americans would answer, "Of course, so what?"

Then he gets all profane because he will not affirm a basic American tenet. And brings out the old Birch stuff because we see his Stalinist bent and he wants to hurl invective. Amusing.

Well, we all see you for what you are.

NOTE: I am sure you are a clone or sock-puppet made in LWM's image.

Tell us more about Armstrong Williams' show on Air America, won't you, please?

Honestly, I've had things with more brains and character than you removed from my colon.

in his (new) post up above. Enjoy.

the 'rats...

I've corrected the spelling of your screen name to reflect your true nature.

The rampant ego exhibited in the previous posts is normal yet based in bias. Have you twits ever considered the possibility that these Dems voted for the bill because they know something you don't?

***

Doesn't a significant number of Democrats voting for something that the hated Bush wants, signal in your tiny little one-track minds, that something legitimate is transpiring?

Classic authoritarian reasoning. The government "knows things" that the unwashed masses don't, so this ipso facto makes whatever they decide proper, and criticisms thereof improper. Best advocated by a member of the unwashed masses himself.

Since you seem to be fond of the rhetorical question device, here's one for you. If our Senators are aware of such a compelling indication that an attack is imminent, so imminent that it justifies ramming legislation through the Congress with no debate or deliberation, shouldn't this information be shared with the public, and the population be constructively mobilized to head-off the threat? Or could Members of Congress be trembling at Mr. Chertoff's "gut feelings?" Better yet, could this perhaps be, oh I don't know, crass political coercion that is bound to capture the unfounded electoral fears of just enough Democrats to shove this legislation through?

You are a very good subject indeed, Shooter. You would have been perfect for 17th Century Europe.

The cabal owns everything and Glenn tells us what to say, what to print and who to vote for! Even Kos takes orders from Glenn now and we all get checks from George Soros! Muhahahahaha!

Schoolboy humor makes a nice cover for the times when you just can not answer. William not answer your e-mail plea for instructions again?

It is truly odd that you do not care how often you refuse to answer even the simplest of questions. No guts, I guess.

Note: There are exactly 7 members of the cabal (including sock-puppets) and GG is not one of them. William T. is the only admissions officer.

OK, I will do the same for you in the interest of going along.

And in your case it is true, rather than the little cowardly lies you tell.

You will not even support Benjerman Franklin's right to own his press; and the man is dead and can not hurt you! He would if still alive of course; cowardly collectivists like you would have been a novelty back then.

My note got lost in the last post.

Note: Benjerman is my attempt to imitate that horrible sound NY Yankees make when they say Benjamin.

You are clearly typing these things from the confines of a mental institution. Or should be.

and I find most of them non-political as far as D v. R,

Good thing: DvR is maybe a third-tier issue, at most. Republicans like cocaine, Democrats like marijuana, libertarians seem to prefer psilocybin. Big Mac v. Quarter-Pounder.

I was surprised to learn from one of your unfriendly correspondents that I am right-wing. I suppose one wing is better than no wings at all; I admire wings.

"In general we are least aware of what our minds do best." Thus spake the Sage.

I am indeed licensed to practice in Maryland (not Pennsylvania), but my practice is entirely federal. As any lawyer can relate, I do get constant requests for legal assistance from friends and family, and I turn down nearly all of them because it's rarely ever a good idea, for multiple reasons.

And many lawyers know what it is to be cornered at the most inappropriate times and places for free advice. Some years ago I was at a Xmas Party, and a dentist I knew who was also in attendance wanted my advice on some issue he had with his realtor. I'd had a few, and I separated my lips and pointed a finger at a back molar, and garbledly said: "Kud ew 'ook at 'is peez?"

I've even gotten email from people I only know online requesting legal advice, and when I try to explain that I'm not licensed in their state and do not know its laws, they seem to think that's some minor issue and that I'm blowing them off. (Many lawyers who express legal opinions at their web sites post big disclaimers that they do not intend any particular individual to take their musings as legal advice, and that they should consult a lawyer in their own state, including on any topic the lawyer blogger addresses. The potential liability reasons for this are obvious.)
