Are you done chanting slogans? Like the Taliban?

This judgement is so palpably political as to be totally embarassing. Watch what happens to it on appeal.

So, when you say the democrats are like the Taliban without saying a word to back it up, its okay, but when someone describes the ways the republicans are like the Taliban in response to your seemingly baseless accusation, they're chanting slogans?

Considering how the Republicans would probably (mis)treat her if she were to walk into the 'big tent', MaggieL is a fierce defender of the party.

Given a choice between their 'base' and the Log Cabin Republicans, it's not too hard to see which group will be thrown to the wolves.

Sometimes I wonder if she knows that the there is 1 amendment before the 2nd and 25 after it.

That being said, remember that, other than hunting, the reason for the 2nd amendment was the fear of too much government power, especially concentrated in one branch. Which is what the president is claiming Congress gave him with the simple authority to conduct a war, carte blanche overriding of the FISA laws and any checks on his power.

Once past the selfishness, Maggie's a liberal. Oh, no - I did not say that.

I'd say the facism slogans are more like a liberal Rush Limbaugh. Totally wrong? No, but simplified past the point of usefullness or any real content.

The Left has never had an aggressive, obnoxious, go-for-the-emotional-regardless-of-the-facts asshole like Rush. Even Al Frankin doesn't match up to Coulter, Hannity, Limbaugh, O'Reilly and the like. Isn't it nice to see something familiar from your opponent? :p

I just saw an editorial on Fox to the effect of 'not exactly legal but very necessary'? Huh? So a 72 hour free pass and eventual judicial review is an invitation to terrorism? There is even a bill to extend the 72 hours to 7 days. That's still not enough. F**k them.

No, they don't have one. They have legions of them.

Nice. Respond to the form, and ignore the substance. I guess we know what that means.
