Who did you say are the fear mongers and dividers? Um...yea.

You want Republican cock! You can't handle Republican cock...

Liberalism: Conservatism:

Message from HughConway that he asked me to pass along: "Dear Bug, would you mind too terribly changing your avatar image? It's making me salivate and triggering a gag reflex that I am presently having difficulty controlling. Sincerely, your really, really good friend, Huey."

I'm not sure which question you are talking about. You stated that you think the government would be qualified to censor the media, but failed to state how that would work--or how it's constitutional. I think that's a discussion ender right there. You haven't answered my questions about border screening and how it would be carried out in a manner liberals would find palatable and effective.

Listening in on overseas phone conversations is not unconstitutional, even when one party resides inside our borders. Surveillance does not equal search and/or seizure. C'mon. "The practice has been going on for 'decades'"? Why are you only now concerned? So now politicians and activist organizations get to decide what's constitutional? They said it, so you believe it? Careful; MattP wants to silence lies like this. You've demonstrated absolutely zip.

Habeus Corpus? What's that? "Show me the corpse." Please do tell me where it has been suspended under GWB.

How was the Sherpa Glacier descent? Schrund ok? Thinking about going "up" that way soon.

No. You said Bush is shredding the constitution. Tell me where, or STFU. I don't give a fuck about what you feel or believe.

What you "think" or feel does not matter. This is about the constitution.

Yes. They are combatants and are not on US soil. Additionally, some are being tried as we speak. Do you have a problem with Kahled Shek Mohammed facing a military tribunal? I'm not sure torture in general is even addressed in the constitution. If it is prohibited, please show me specifics--maybe you'll convince me. I've read Kahled Shek Mohammed lasted 37 seconds before he gave up the names of co-conspirators in the 9/11 attacks.

I believe the state-secrets issue is covered and addressed in the first amendment. (You didn't seem to have a problem with the LA Times revealing our program to spy on terrorist banking activities overseas.) As far as the media "lying", who do you propose to determine the validity of each and every media report, story, opinion? A government agency? Yea, right. I am still in shock that you support a ban on press freedom and have the gall to claim Bush has shredded the constitution. Every time I ask for specifics you come up lame and then refuse to reply. Porter, this isn't about a show of hands, or 'what people think'--it's about what is. There is no administration threat to the constitution at this time, but there is a threat held to it within the minds of many liberals as demonstrated here.

Hell, Matt, even your precious UN believes in more freedom than you do. (?) ...The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference, and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers"

Yes. Then you don't believe in the constitution. ...And you wonder why conservatives question the patriotism of the left?

Fairweather. The biggest trick the millionaires/republicans of this country ever pulled was convincing the poor that what is good for them is good for you. Wake up friend. You've let leftist populism infect your brain, and since there is plenty of room remaining therein post eighth grade, this is not all that surprising. Within reason and limits, a rising tide does lift all ships.

You are confusing what is taught to minors in a classroom setting versus what is covered under the first amendment. You don't honestly believe in restrictions on press freedom do you?

Pre-WWI banners were typically put out by interventionists--not the US Govt. Woodrow Wilson was a complete moron who likely fancied himself much as you do yourself. He wasn't God damed Jesus Christ--that's for sure. Another Democrat for peace...I mean war.

The man is a psychopath, he is absolutely crazy. He is nutz and should be taken off the air. People like him should not be able to have a voice that loud or be able to influence others. He says being a liberal is a disease. What a joke. The guy IS a loon, for sure. But why is it that liberals are always the ones who want to restrict free speech? It's not just you--but some of the otherwise intelligent liberals on this board have expressed similar sentiments. What is it you really stand for? Surrender to the collective?

WW2? Unless you consider Pearl Harbor a Japanese marketing campaign.

I would point out that Iraq was firing on American aircraft in the 'no fly zone' almost daily (in violation of their signed agreement) and tried to assassinate a former president while on a state visit. Reason enough, IMO.

The man speaks truth. Liberals are cowards. ko, ereh semoc eht kwahnekcihc stnemmoc.
