G. Gordon Liddy On Sotomayor's Conferences "Let's Hope She's Not Menstruating"

Liddy is a real class act. He is a great poster child for pro choice. He is one of the reason why there is a solid minority for republicans in both houses. Americans a tired of such lame, ridiculous, attacks.

I heard that he uses Brawny because it starts with a “B”

California Supreme Court Creates Marriage Double Standard

I think it might be fascinating to note that the California High Court did not strike down gay marriage. The court upheld the legislation by ballot that California has adopted. The nature of the ballot issue is not as important to the court as the ability to alter the constitution by such initiative measures.
If it were unconstiturional, they would have reversed teh 18000 marriages already sanctioned. So, proposition 8’s content was not important to the court.

I would expect a proposition not only approving gay marriage to arise in California, but a measure to enhance the original concept into a firmer definition of the rights entailed in marriage.

It Didn't Take Long For the Right-Wing Mob To Attack Sotomayor

I wonder if they will figure out that policy is not the same as legislation? The judge was referring to policy of handling cases placed before the court, not legislative interpretation. One might benefit from hearing the context of the comment so often improperly characterized and shown on certain networks.

Oh, Rush? Well, you get ten attaboys for being the jerk that you are. You keep showing us why you are trusted less than Osama Bin Laden. BTW, Bin Laden’s publica approval ratings are close to Rush’s. LOL

I’m afraid the next few months will be filled with spewed mud, whispered lies, distortions galore, and coffers filled with money from radical right wing contributors….all in the name of “vetting”. In the end, it will boil down to one or three senators realizing that the latino vote may be more important than pleasing Mitch McConnel, Michael Steele, or even Lord Limberger.

General Petraeus Condemns Torture And Gitmo

I believe the term, “Enhanced Interrogation Tecniques” is an oxymoron. It certainly has nothing to do with enhancing anything….it brutilizes, not makes better.
General Petraeus expresses the common military contention that torture does our soldiers more harm than any percieved good. The “enemy” will fight harder and will kill themselves rather than surrender to an adversary who tortures. It goes back to the 16th and 17th century concept of granting “quarter”. Adversaries were offered quarter and in exchange, would provide civil exchange with the victor. If “no quarter” was imposed, people would fight with tremendous verosity and brtality in return.
Also, if one was known not to offer quarter, and would, indeed, torture the vanquished…opponents would rather kill themselves rather than submit to such treatment.
They would also become as brutal to enemy combatants in captivity as the percieved “no quarter” opponent.
General Petraeus certainly honors such concepts since they have proven truthful throughout history.
We, as a country, cannot ask for quarter when we do not offer it….and we tortured, so why wouldn’t our opponent grant no mercy to us?
Petraeus is smarter than whoever supports the “eit” (or torture techniques as normally known around the world), regardless of the “effectiveness” which the consensus of knowledgable professionals discount….if it were otherwise, we’d continue the practice…which was halted in 2005. Why? Did we run out of good subjects for torture? I sincerely doubt that we have, so Petraeus and the consensus of knowledgable professionals outweigh has been politicians of a disgraced administration.

California Supreme Court Set To Decide On Prop 8

I believe the correct idea of that post is that a judicial branch is to save the minority from the tyranny of the majority. However, in this case, I believe the most that should be expected is that those who are already married will be viewed as married. I believe the court will not interfere with the election results; largely because of the California constitution, amendments, and relevant statutes all suggest a wide latitude for the electorate to make wholesale changes in the basice structures of the California governess.

Did This Woman Deserve To Be Fired For Not Wearing Makeup?

Sounds like an episode of Mad Men. I can remember standards like those back in the early 70’s. It has been a very slow progression to freedom since then, but some changes are more difficult to accept.

Dueling Speeches: The Audio Version

The myth about Clinton not going after Bin Laden is one of the most common lies of the radical right talking points. It is ironic that they now want to ignore talking about prior administrations.
Bush and his administration came into power with a total disdain for anything that came from the Clinton people. All concerns expressed about Al Quida, terrorism, intelligence, and/or national security were swept away in an ignorant swoosh of ideological fanatism.

Cheney symbolizes the complete collapse of moral and ethical leadership due to the panicked administration. America was attacked twice on their watch…9/11 and the anthrax attacks…and they couldn’t catch either perpetrator…so, they attacked Iraq

Did This Woman Deserve To Be Fired For Not Wearing Makeup?

She lost for other reasons….her point total was testified to by Trump himself…of course, his hairpiece thought otherwise, but Trump insisted that her opinion did not place her in second.

Should The State Be Able To Order Chemo Treatment For A 13-Year-Old?

Choice….I know many who have chosen to die…I know many others who attempted to die, yet were saved dispite their best efforts. To see someone taking responsibility for their life, and being supported by those who love them….is this something that we should encourage with the caveat that chemo therapy is the act of introducing toxic substances (some call it poison) to the body with the known effects of making the person terribly ill? I wonder is we should interject? Is the child protection agency and government creating another Terry Schivo case?

Bush Dog Does To Neighbor's Lawn What Cheney Does To The Constitution

Rule 62, James, me lad….resentments are resentments only if you hold in anger and allow it to grow. We both know anger is the result of fear. Here, one needs not build a resentment if one rids oneself of the trash that is dumped there by another….
