"Benjamin Franklin had cowardly punks like D*ick Cheney in mind when he said that those who trade liberty for freedom deserve neither liberty nor freedom.


Yeah - trust iceman - he was there!

[iceman_1960]

D*ick Cheney: "The end justifies the means."

He has no evidence that this barbaric practice saved "thousands" of lives.

His policies have cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent lives.

Benjamin Franklin had cowardly punks like D*ick Cheney in mind when he said that those who trade liberty for freedom deserve neither liberty nor freedom.

I long for the day I can tell Cheney this to his face.

hey, good luck with that ObservantX - let us know how that works out for you, ok.

(moron) - like Pelosi wouldn''t had done this ages ago if she thought it would work.


Sheesh - talk about liberalism being a mental disease!

If you are a c0nstituent of Nancy Pelosi, go to her web site to register your demand that she begin impeachment proceedings. If you are NOT a constituent, go to the following to have a place to demand she take action.

...the president is demanding that Steven Bradbury, who signed off on secret legal opinions allowing the use of waterboarding, be appointed to the head of the Office of Legal Counsel, a post which requires Senate confirmation.

Reid charges the president with purposely holding up more than 84 post nominations for federal agencies and judgeships, refusing to move forward on them unless the Senate OKs Bradbury. Meanwhile, the president blamed Congress for holding up the nominations, without mentioning Bradbury, whose duties at OLC (according to a former OLC head) could include writing an "advance pardon" excusing lawbreaking by the Executive Branch.]

This is just incredible gall.

This amounts to our loathsome duo GeorgenDick arranging for their own "Get out of Jail" card.

I don''t know about the rest of you, but this is enough! These petty tyrants have got to go. Just watching Shotgun and Stumblebum or hearing them lie and pontificate makes me feel soiled.

Nancy Pelosi: I DEMAND YOU PUT IMPEACHMENT BACK ON THE TABLE!

I''m going to email Pelosi to demand she start impeachment proceedings. I suggest the rest of you do the same. We need to flood her inbox with demands to put these two slimeballs and the rest of their sycophants and enablers in jail where they belong.

Your appeal to my humanity is pointless ~~ Cheney

[fairandbal]

In other wars, nations performing waterboarding against prisoners have been tried for war crimes. Cheney needs to go to jail for his war crimes.

I hope people will finally wake up and demand justice!

[ubrew12]

In defense of Cheney, he said its good that THOSE characters were waterboarded, not that its a good technique in general.

Still, whenever I''m tempted to think of GW as evil, I get a look at Cheney, and am reminded of what real evil is.

The New Republicans do nothing but lie and deceive:

Anyone supporting this administration should be tarred and feathered and then have the rail shoved up their Assses!

An Example:

A document from the Department of Veterans Affairs contradicts an assertion made by the Army surgeon general that his office did not tell VA officials to stop helping injured soldiers with their military disability paperwork at a New York Army post.

The paperwork can help determine health care and disability benefits for wounded soldiers.

Audio available here. It makes me so angry to hear the wingnuts say that progressives don%u2019t support the troops because we don%u2019t want them in harm%u2019s way, yet this kind of treatment by the administration that the wingnuts blindly support doesn%u2019t even register.

Of course, they get it from the top:

President Bush drew great applause during his State of the Union address last month when he called on Congress to allow U.S. troops to transfer their unused education benefits to family members. %u201COur military families serve our nation, they inspire our nation, and tonight our nation honors them,%u201D he said.

A week later, however, when Bush submitted his $3.1 trillion federal budget to Congress, he included no funding for such an initiative, which government analysts calculate could cost $1 billion to $2 billion annually.

Cheney is a servant of the Devil. There just can''t be any other rational explanation for his vile words, lunatic schemes, and evil deeds!

Someday, the true patriots of this nation will spit on Cheney''s grave.

[steeepe]

Our VP is a war criminal. I hope he gets caught by another country and goes to jail. Americans are too jaded by the rampant criminality of this administration to do anything about it. Did we get what we deserved with Bush and Cheney? I sure hope we deserve better!

[l8c6]

The United States brought to trial foreign war criminals after world war two. Is it our nuclear arsenal that would stand between the world demanding justice for the United States guilty of war crime?

People don''t realize it, but we are seeing the beginning of the story of how the right wing ideology of sociopathology, arrogance, self-righteousness and entitlement destroyed the United States and it''s citizens.

Right wingers are global elitists who threaten democracy around the world.

[j-whitman]

Bush''s General Hayden just said we waterbord our troops,, a deliberate political attempt to water down the issue ------ Brief indoctronation in training is far, far from it''s use in interrigations... That brings up another question, why are we training our troops in it ???

[sonja44-2009]

Don''t people get it. If we, the "morally correct" country are doing things like this, just imagine what we are inviting for our own soldiers!

Anyone who says waterboarding is not torture.... maybe you''d like to volunteer????

[l8c6]

High functioning right wing sociopaths are forever going after the common criminal though "shrub" is quick to point out that just because someone is poor doesn''t make them a killer.

Did Hitler ever commit murder directly? He might not have but indirectly through his socipathic regime of death millions died and not just Jews.

High functioning right wing sociopaths have an incredible ability to justify the unjustifiable. The "worst of the worst" have defeated the principles of this nation when the principles of this nation are set aside to fight the "worst of the worst". The enemy of this nation is now from within.

It''s amazing how quickly a great nation can be brought down in ones own lifetime. The people grew complacent and neglected the value of learning history.

The right wing talks about family values and the ills of abortion. The proof of their devious plot comes through their actual decisions which is a distrust and disdain for all of humanity.

[Krazcarl]

VETERAN71... That would be great and appropiate but for some reasen it won''t happen, Let me ash you what happened to our land thought we we were free and no one was above the written law????

[popstom1]

The WTC bombers were not Iraqies but they were Saudies guess who sold them a whole $hit load of weapons to the Saudis.

[Krazcarl]

SKYK....Well said

Right wing "conservative" with everyone but themselves republicans applaud but these are dark sinister days for america. Right wingers despise history they instead comprise the narrow objectives of business idolators who fund the business schools and belittle an education that generates a well rounded society.

Right wing conservative republicans must believe saying it is so, makes it so. They claim they are the apple of God''s eye. Many of them likely have no faith, they use faith to manipulate. It will be a surprise when these creatures of darkness experience their descent into the gates of hell. Mortality will take them and an eternity of the most profound cold loneliness will envelope their being in a salute to the path they of their own will chose.
