Name Change
"It will be necessary for us to be a nation of men, and not laws."
-- Dick Cheney,Vice President of the United States
Source: reacting to the 9-11 attack as reported on PBS "Frontline"
Ever since, Democrats have been in grovel-mode, spineless twits who signal retreat with stentorian displays intended to provide cover to the party of the prostrate.
These gasbags should change their name to the Submissive Invertebrate Party.
-- TheByzantine
The spineless twits have been that way for a long, long damn time. Consider the R's stealing an election as the nation watched the act in Florida. That was before 9-11.
Both parties believe in a 'bipartisan' foreign policy and the policy we have requires a nation of men, not laws. Perhaps the Democrats will consider dismantling the empire when they get control of the government this next election.

William Timberman breaks promise again
WT: "I swore I wouldn't weigh in on this, but what the hell."
Will he ever keep a promise? Who knows, but he has not so far and time is running out. Perhaps he should not swear, just in case that counts in the next life; since he will break it anyway.

Time is running out, Bucky
Repent!
In his opening statement in the confirmation hearings, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware suggested as much, when he traced the 20th-century court's evolving notions of privacy, then posed pointed rhetorical questions to Judge Roberts about the future: Can a microscopic tag be implanted in a person's body to track his every movement? Can brain scans be used to determine whether a person is inclined toward criminality or violent behavior?
"You will rule on that," Mr. Biden said.
Kermit T. Hall, president of the State University at Albany and an expert on the Constitution, predicted that 30 years from now, a Roberts court would be judged by "the stands that it took with regard to the issues of individual personhood - for me, privacy - and the technological revolution." There will be a range of issues, from the right of universities to peer over the shoulders of students sharing computer files to new pregnancy-ending technologies and life-preserving treatments that might make abortion as it is now understood moot, but even more troubling to some.
"The ethical issues become considerably differently placed, and profoundly stretched, when you anticipate the technology of sustaining life at an earlier and earlier period and, who knows, we may actually discover that cognizance begins in the womb," he said.
Brandeis and Warren's law review article was written in response to advances in photography that allowed swifter and sharper invasions of privacy than ever before. "Instantaneous photographs and newspaper enterprise have invaded the sacred precincts of private and domestic life," they wrote, "and numerous mechanical devices threaten to make good the prediction that 'what is whispered from the closet shall be proclaimed from the housetops.' "
So it is perhaps a fitting reminder of that fear that only last week, a journalist's telephoto lens captured President Bush at the United Nations, jotting a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that he might need a "bathroom break," and the Reuters news agency enhanced the image and beamed it around the world.
"The principle which protects personal writings and all other personal productions, not against theft and physical appropriation, but against publication in any form," Brandeis and Warren wrote, "is in reality not the principle of private property, but that of an inviolate personality." Senators weighing Judge Roberts's nomination must now decide whether he has surrendered just enough privacy to give them a sense of his.
Crime and Terrorism are the twin scourges of Satan!
They must be rubbed out if we are to please God Almighty and receive his Grace!

LWM as sock-puppet RP; lies again
Timberman must be damn proud of his little wanker man that does the dirty work of continual lies. And damn, he and his 29 sock-puppets really do a fine job on the slime front. Perhaps the Republicans learned from lwm in the first place.
I bet lwm knew that ass Lee Atwater; hell I bet lwm trained Atwater. It makes sense since lwm promotes the status quo and our war-like foreign policy every chance he gets.
He knows old Bucky1 would die before he voted for a warmonger like McCain, but he does an Atwater slime. I am thinking he might well be a closeted Republican and that would explain the anti-gay bigoted remarks a few threads ago; and the bigoted remarks about the Sufi.
Anti-gay, hater of A-rabs, slime master, lair, warmonger; hell he acts like a Republican. He may well be one.

Of course I am a Republican
Ron Paul is a Republican!
Ron Pauliac is a Republican!

Hold me closr
The only logical conclusion, now that the Democrats in Congress continue their snuggly co-operation with the WH, is one of two position. They either agree with the Bush policies, which seems to be the case, or the very policies they are pushing has furnished a ton of dirt on each one - Or is it just a mixture of both?
It was horrifing the other to see Silvestre Reyes fawning over Blitzer. There is no longer any way to tell a Democrat from a Republican, or do they wear pins?

Thanks for the admission lwm ...
A leading light in the local cabal has declared that he (and his 30 sock-puppets) really is a Republican and he does not repudiate his anti-gay or anti-Arab bigoted remarks. He does not repudiate using the tactics of Lee Atwater or Carl Rove.
Well cabal members, you sure picked a fine example of humanity to lead the welcome wagon here. I think that is what another fellow was complaining about a thread or two ago; but the cabal exists for a different purpose, eh? It is interesting how so few, six I think, can poison the place so effectively.
Congratulations Timberman; on your support of such as this. What was it you said exactly? Was it, "I love lwm's antics"?
