The reason I thought you were trying to silence me is your remark: And please, knock it the hell off with the Kucinich dead letter.
I think I have every right to bring up Kucinich if I wish, so why don't you knock off telling me what I may write about. Let us not pretend that you were the first to be rude to me when I had not even addressed you.
or who starts "needling" the other first. Having read the entire thread again (I always start at the beginning anyway) I think my point was less to point fingers and more GG's which was "who started it is irrelevant". If it seemed like I was siding with omooex, I apologize. I could easily be mistaken about who lashes out first with "bigot and liar" but that's beside the point. I concede I haven't paid close enough attention to your shared history or the subtlety of your exchanges over time to pick a side. I'm just politely asking you both to stop because you both generally have something to contribute here when you aren't too busy engaging in your online bloodfeud.
Let us not pretend that you were not the first to be rude to me when I had not even addressed you.

Didn't I just say in these letters that the threat of possible terror is still alive and well? And now look, here's the Pakistani ISI reminding us of how great a risk that threat still is! They've gone to great pains to show us that we can't relax our vigilance or stop providing a convenient, mindless, reflexively violent oppressor to feed worldwide Wahabism — if we do, then fear of the threat of possible terror will fade!
Thanks for reading over the thread again, I know it must have been less than "fun", eh?
You request that "we" knock it off, and that is very good advice. I told the other fellow a long time ago that I would appreciate it if he never mentioned me again and that I would do the same. He took that as a signal that he could attack day after day all thread long without worrying about a response.
Today, I decided it was enough. It is all up to him, because I refuse to be the punching bag anymore. Well, more to the point, it is up to the boss. (GG)
I will say that your last response was a good one. Thanks for that.

The Times is now reporting that Pakistan won't send Deputy Gen. Pasha but an underling. And there is a new opinion column that PM Singh's "attitude" towards terrorism will haunt him (that Pakistan was also a victim of terrorism). Attitudes are hardening. So the window of opportunity for a non-standard joint solution is closing.
Chavez and Putin are rivals to the Unitary Executive (read: Autocrat) promulgated by the NeoCons and implemented by the Busheviks. Chavez and Putin are wildly popular among their own people, far more popular than Bush has been through most of his tenure in office, and that popularity may mask some of their more Autocratic ways.
Bush has long said he doesn't need to be popular -- I guess because he's just so darned right after all -- and he's gonna do what he wants, and he dares anyone to do anything about it, which they won't. He knows that. So he trolls the depths of unpopularity, but it's no matter to him and his cronies and henchmen. They have the Power and no one is going to do squat about it. Tyranny.
Obama seems to be very much more popular than Mr. Bush, and he will inherit all the same "unitary" powers the Busheviks accumulated to the executive office. Rather than rivaling Putin and Chavez, more than likely he will see them as comrades.
Now wouldn't that be interesting.
You're all over the map in more ways than one in your reply to me. Assumptions galore and questions directed at me that have little to nothing to do with what I was saying to you. What? You think because Obama is speaking about doing things that you and I both disagree with that somehow makes your point? I have no argument with you that Obama has ideas and in the past and in the present that he has implemente or remarked upon that I am in disagreement with.
You're speaking to someone else and, I don't know who it is. You once again state that you could find past comments from people on this board that make your point. So what? I told you that anecdotal evidence about a few who were and are not now paying enough attention to who Obama was and is does not make the case that many were not and are not paying attention. In case you haven't noticed that theme has been the subject of many MSM programs and also on some blogs. I disagree with it.
Maybe I haven't been making myself clear. If so, I'm tired of trying at this time. Especially since you seem to be in really pissy mood about something, so I'm finding it quite difficult to communicate with you.
Yeah, the education system needs and has needed a lot of work. Is that supposed to be news? Specific to that, my daughter has made a career in teaching, and she has written and published a new and successful approach to teaching children reading. Her new curriculum is in the process of making headway in school districts in northern California. Soon, I expect, many more districts will be using it also. I can't think of a better way to improve on our education system than to teach children from a young age to learn how to make the most out of critical thinking due to an ability to read and understand what they are reading.
