They're partisan hacks with nary an original thought in their brains. Just like every liberal wing nut like you.<BR/><BR/>Big oil. Big pharma. Bush lied people died. Blah blah blah blah.<BR/><BR/>Mike I hate to break this to you, but you and the Fraleys and Sykes' and Robinsons of the world are just different sides of the same coin.<BR/><BR/>"I mean, when every nut with a webpage tries to diminish McClellan's expose by saying that he is "disgruntled" or when the same clowns dissect Obama's Memorial Day speech in a new effort to portray him as a gaffe machine,"<BR/><BR/>And you and liberal hacks do the same when they have an "R" after their name. <BR/><BR/>You're no different.<BR/><BR/>"I think that's really all you have to say about it. The fact that they are the most unoriginal lackeys in the world is their problem, not mine."<BR/><BR/>Your arguments are no more original.<BR/><BR/>You're no different.<BR/><BR/>"Good luck finding the same kind of orthodoxy on the left -- you won't find it. The first thing that would happen if somebody tried is someone -- maybe everyone -- would break ranks and criticize such a foolish effort."<BR/><BR/>LOL. You've got to be kidding.<BR/><BR/>Sure you occasionally get in fights over which identity is more oppressed and therefore more deserving of speaking their moronic complaints first at your little protest marches, but that's about as far apart as any of you ever get. <BR/><BR/>"In other words, show me some substance and I'll deal with it."<BR/><BR/>I gave you an opportunity to delve into substance by explaining how you'd deal with the problem of $4/gallon gas and you have yet to respond.<BR/><BR/>All you're capable of on this blog is finding new sentences in which to include "wing nut". You're like a Britney Spears song - same old crap remixed here and there to sound different.<BR/><BR/>"Idiotic "you don't love the country" nonsense is not serious and I refuse to deal with it as such."<BR/><BR/>Did you read what I wrote? I said exactly the same thing.<BR/><BR/>"Says the 12 year-old girl ghost-writing for Plaisted tonight. Nah nah nah boo boo."<BR/><BR/>Serious, substantive question you can tackle along with the issue of $4/gallon gas: is your blog representative of the way you deal with people in real life? Please tell me it's just a juvenile way to let off steam.AnotherTosaVoterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16530969681712342705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20755638.post-69209305982721079072008-05-29T08:18:00.000-05:002008-05-29T08:18:00.000-05:00OK - Name-caller!

"Violent overthrow of authorities"? Where do you get that (and don't say William Ayers)? <BR/><BR/>I don't see anything but using democracy to become the "authority", or, rather, to get ourselves in a position to stop the bad (all things Bush), repair the damage and do good. The difference is we do it with truth, not with lies.<BR/><BR/>Sure -- Wilson, FDR and LBJ as Hilter/Mussolini...call me when you get back from visiting Mars.

Or DemocraticUnderground? It's the same shit over and over again.<BR/><BR/>So don't get all high and mighty about "only conservatives do it."<BR/><BR/>Liberals seek orthodoxy even more than conservatives -- it's what's made fascism a leftist tendency since the 1920s. Combine portions of will-to-power, hatred of others-in-power, a youth movement, and an elitist bent and mix together on college campuses and hippie communes, and what do you get but a desire for violent overthrow of the authorities?<BR/><BR/>(Go ahead and call me a name-caller for that; but Heaven forbid you actually address the similarities between the presidencies of Wilson, FDR, and LBJ and the dictatorships of Mussolini and Hitler pre-1942)Prosqtorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06342261051433865570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20755638.post-89739459598772697652008-05-28T22:36:00.000-05:002008-05-28T22:36:00.000-05:00I'm sorry if I keep pointing out that radio and bl...I'm sorry if I keep pointing out that radio and blogging wing-nuts who just happen to say the same thing in the same way on the same day are reading GOP talking-points.

She literally started crying because apparently McClellan's book is just further evidence that we no longer love our country or respect our leadership. I would have mimicked playing the world's smallest fiddle were I not driving. I was able to ask the radio what her reaction would be if the only difference was the letter after the President's name was a "D" instead of an "R", knowing full well it would have been exactly opposite.<BR/><BR/>Anyway the point of that monologue is that she was a lot like Plaisted: she was convinced that if only us gullible Americans would "wake up" we'd see how right she is and how if we'd only accept her brilliance we'd all be better off.<BR/><BR/>*insert laugh line*<BR/><BR/>Anyway Mike I thought I'd ask again what your plan is to address the problem of $4 a gallon gas and also once again if you're aware that your posts represent the emotional dribblings of a 12 year-old girl?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20755638.post-25724204469585374972008-05-28T19:12:00.000-05:002008-05-28T19:12:00.000-05:00Prosqtor, I'm sorry that you think my personal opi...Prosqtor, I'm sorry that you think my personal opinions are "talking points."

"Leaders", if that's what they are pretending to be get the respect they deserve -- in the case of the Bush crowd, none at all. The troops get support 100% from everyone, especially those who are trying to get them out of harm's way.<BR/><BR/>Do I have to agree with you to "love my country"? Why would that be? This is the greatest place on earth, ill-served by 8 years of profit-taking by greedy Republicans. <BR/><BR/>"Learned minds"? Uh, not this bunch.<BR/><BR/>There are a lot of reasons Bush doesn't want to pull out -- he has no face to lose.<BR/><BR/>How sad is it that our leaders actually don't care about our children. They are cannon fodder in their global designs.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for playing.

I wonder. When did it stop being cool to love your country? When did you decide that you know more than the most learned minds in our country? Do you believe that our President doesnt want to pull out now because he is afraid to lose face? WOW! I wonder, how sad is it to believe that our leaders dont care about our children?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
