I tend to not pay attention to democratic candidates as I'm not picking one in the primaries and I'm more than likely going to vote for whoever they put out in the general (though I may have to sit this one out if it's Hillary). What I am mostly concerned with is that we have a gang in office now who have no respect for the law. I think that should chap the hide of any law abiding citizen regardless of party affiliation.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601863377056165200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24008092.post-16908968358641386882007-07-02T20:44:00.000-07:002007-07-02T20:44:00.000-07:00Jason,About Libby, read the next post.

I hear that they will do things, but not how. And everyway the Administration does to handle this threat, it gets pooh-poohed by the Left. <BR/><BR/>Stop the terrorists? I'm glad the Dems want to sign on, but they have to tell me how they plan on winning.JSFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112671583392607007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24008092.post-21744414631952735732007-07-02T20:09:00.000-07:002007-07-02T20:09:00.000-07:00Dang.

I should probably not post before I leave the house in the morning as buttons tend to not get hit while diapers are being changed, milk is being sprayed everywhere and the most annoying puppets on television are singing annoying puppet songs. Anyway, what I think I said was something to the effect of...<BR/><BR/>I don't deny that there is a very real threat. I think there are right and wrong ways to address it. Subverting the freedoms that this country was founded upon is the wrong way. Trying to destroy the careers of anyone who tries to hold our government up to the standards of decency and law is the wrong way. Going into an irrelevant war which is creating more of a danger for us is the wrong way. And to try to insinuate that we will be attacked if we don't follow the horrible standard set forth by this administration who considers themselves above the law is the very definition of fearmongering. <BR/><BR/>You seem to be a patriotic American, but talk like this makes it seem like your allegiance lies more with your political party than the very principles of what this country was founded upon. We are a nation of laws. If our leaders can't follow them, what example does that set for the citizens? Why is it too much to ask these people to go through the proper channels to get the warrants they need to get the job done? Why is it so hard to convict these supposed enemy combatants through our supposedly just and fair legal system? Why do they have to send goons to the hospital to harass an attorney general in the ICU to OK programs that are clearly unconstitutional? And if we push aside our constitution, give up some of our freedoms and become a more authoritarian society in the process, haven't the terrorists gotten at least part of what they wanted? <BR/><BR/>And completely off the topic but why the hell does a guy who covered up a possible act of treason getting off easier than Paris freakin' Hilton?Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601863377056165200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24008092.post-43333274867838230172007-07-02T19:32:00.000-07:002007-07-02T19:32:00.000-07:00Jason,I never got it.

I wonder if...Jason, Jason, Jason ...fearmongering? I wonder if you would have said that on September 12th, 2001! How quickly we (you) the public forget that real people get killed by terrorists. It's so safe here in our little world. The bombs recovered in the U.K. were loaded with nails. That's real nails which would have blasted into people's faces, stomachs, hearts! I spoke to someone at another blog who has been at the scene of such bombings (for work) and knows firsthand how horrifying they are. Believe me, he's got nothing to say about 'fearmongering' and everything to say about halting this threat in its tracks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24008092.post-9617657632498448222007-07-01T22:43:00.000-07:002007-07-01T22:43:00.000-07:00Jason,If you look into the posts I wrote late last...Jason,<BR/><BR/>If you look into the posts I wrote late last year, I mention the storm clouds motif. I mention how the Democrats have used their own rhetoric to say "I want to stop the terrorists but don't do A, B, C..." <BR/><BR/>These issues do tie in with Israel. Israel used to be the proving ground -- look at the list of terrorist attacks before September 11, 2001 (The link is in the post). Suicide bombing is not a new concept. As a former Democrat, I want to belive the party is engaged in what is happening in the UK -- but I hear the rhetoric and I doubt.<BR/><BR/>Can we agree that Suicide bombing is wrong? Can we agree that we are engaged against an NGO that doesn't like either of us or the folks in the UK right now either? <BR/><BR/>This is not a new tale since 9/11. It was once syndicated television show [Israel/Arabs]that has become a major network show [US/UK] that is copied around the world [South Asia/Africa].JSFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112671583392607007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24008092.post-75892854414772739292007-07-01T22:15:00.000-07:002007-07-01T22:15:00.000-07:00Fearmongering is so beneath you.Fearmongering is so beneath you.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601863377056165200noreply@blogger.com
