Right. The fact that an FBI agent risked his career going whistleblower because he was worried the whole thing was being hushed up is totally a reason to believe a president and his cabinet were telling the truth. And of course it all has nothing to do with questionable CIA activities in Libya, the president and his UN ambassador/future SecState lying about the attack, or the timing of resigning after the election but before testimony. Totally unconnected. You must be nanothermite-illuminati-Rothschild crazy to think there could ever be the slightest connection or relationship. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Well considering presidents value loyalty over competence, integrity, or respect of cabinet members' subordinates, I'd say he's a choice we should expect, whether you approve or not. However, since adultery is reason for senior staff to step down (if you believe them on DCI Petraeus) then maybe he should resign before he's ever appointed. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Assumptions at this point. His wife may have been aware and approved. If his wife approved, then (A) why did he use a gmail account with a fake name and (B) why did he resign? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Well, thank gOd we have the liberal media to cover that up. So I'm a conspiracy nut, huh? Interesting then that federal agencies are putting information out there indicating that I'm correct. The only unproven point is when the president was informed. Based on his track record, he'll say he didn't know until it hit the news. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324073504578113460852395852.html witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I seem to remember the "permanent majority" the republicans had in the 90s. How's that working out? Don't act like this is some huge momentum shift. Obama swept a geriatric flip flopping vet eight years ago, his party got whipped in the midterms, then he won the important states by ~1% against a poofy haired moderate history but now hard talking New England governor and buoyed his party. They gained nothing in the house or senate.

Petraeus may not be the only embattled one on the way out. Holder mentioned he's not sure he'll stay on, and there are rumblings Clinton is on her way out within the month. Chalk some of it up to reelection turnover, but those three going first says a lot. It'd be nice if we ever get a clear answer on Fast and Furious, Abbottabad, and Benghazi, but I won't hold my breath that it'll happen during his administration. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

-Mormon. Some folks can't get past it. -New England governor -Either no clear outreach to women or a hostile stance towards women, depending on who you ask. -Liberal state policies like health care -Failure to differentiate any significant position from Obama. -Standard rhetoric with nothing to excite voters. -Piss poor voter turnout. -Voters not recognizing/caring about Obama's energy policy costing their state jobs and money. -Failure to put Obama first term on trial. -Obama effectively hiding/covering his scandals. Frankly, unaffiliated voters didn't see a difference and didn't bother to show up. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Thanks Andy, I really didn't need that. Silly assed demagoguery aside, you'd think the Feds might be a little better prepared for Katrina 2.0, considering he ran on doing it better than the predecessor. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I'm wondering if they actually disclosed any secrets. Seems to me that their command is more upset about earning in the side without prior approval (a no-no). Reminds of the early nineties when Clinton et al were trying to out the crypto cat back in the bag. I think it was Zimmerman who downloaded PGP from a German mirror site while testifying, but could've faced Leavenworth for sending a copy back due to exporting munitions or state "secrets." Like we've established, secret isn't always secret, but if you have a clearance you'd better not spill the beans, even if your standing ankle deep in coffee, green, kidney, and navy. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Not only does he sound exactly like dd/cd/all his other past nonsense, now he's quoting the exact same links. What's that, over a year old. I guess he can't even be bothered keeping up on whackjob talking points; he must save his posts and links and just repost under each new assumed identity - probably to a dozen forums each.

Bill, what gets me is not what they talked about, it's what they didn't. States rights vs role of the Feds. What the federal reserve is doing. NDAA/indefinite detention. Privacy. SOPA and PIPA and how broken the copyright system is (genes, medicine, research, and popular performance art like music and movies). Expansion if the TSA and the related reduction of civil rights. Et cetera ad nauseam. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

And yet people laugh and/or call Ron Paul crazy when he talks about the Federal Reserve needing a full audit. (Let alone that the very existence of the Fed is blatantly unconstitutional) Edit for poorly written post, a bit of a knee jerk reaction, and a complete lack of coffee.

Sometimes it's an interesting mental exercise. Sometimes a post is just so nuts that it feels good to challenge it (even if filling that "feel good" is ultimately self destructive). And sometimes you just want to see how freaking nuts someone really is. The complete inability to form logical or persuasive arguments or provide even the most basic evidence is really entertaining - then it gets old and we call them on trolling, even if we have been sort of trolling them back just by replying. DD, CD, SJ, whatever name you pick next, you're a troll, your posts are sad, and you really are the court jester of SC. masterrig, you know you're right, and we do too, but sometimes it's just something you're gonna do, whether you should or not. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

...or the federal government could stop interfering in every aspect of life and act within its constitutional boundaries. But hey, democrats get elected doing the opposite, and republicans wouldn't get elected suggesting it, so snowballs in hell right? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

We learned that poofy-haired New Englanders still can't win the presidency. We learned that results don't matter, pandering to the right people does. We learned that the constitution is lying in shreds or being used as toilet paper by both parties. We learned that any real plan to fix what's broken with not get you elected (not that either candidate had one; just saying any plan involving pain is doomed, unless it's "feel your pain"). We learned the false dichotomy of left vs right, R vs D, etc is still running the entire political process for their benefit rather than for the law or for the country. We learned that the vast majority of US citizens haven't actually learned anything at all.

I liked you better as dreamdancer, Rhys, and other names that were short or had obvious abbreviations. I won't use Jon, too much chance of misunderstanding. I'm going to stick with the common decision to keep calling you DD. You still post goofy threads without any support. It's kinda funny and kinda sad.

http://www.star-telegram.com/2011/12/04/3568832/squatters-claim-more-than-8-million.html How many of those ranchers committed breaking and entering, destruction of property, or other crimes before improving the land and claiming it? Did you miss the part where is was vacant land, and the potential owners improved it through hard work before claiming it? These anarchists are criminals and dirtbags. They are taking the fruits of other's labor and claiming it for themselves. They don't want a fair share, they want a controlling share with no effort expended. They are thieves, bullies, liars, and worse. Their move further and further into the criminal realm is their own choice. It has nothing to do with pressure from the government. It is a result of their flawed philosophy and over developed sense of entitlement. They are bringing a heavier hand down on themselves. Fools and beggars, but without the sense of respect necessary to ask rather than demand. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Mike, it isn't worth it. He's already decided that we don't know shit, that every member of the armed forces is a mindless drone that will follow any order, that it's not worth his time to educate himself, and anyone who mentions force is full if keyboard bravado. You and I know about California, NYC, and all the other cases. There is no good reason do registration. It exists only to control and punish nonviolent, otherwise non criminal gun owners.

Aside fro m the usual Nazi Germany line, when has this happened? Registration has led to confiscation in Germany, in Russia, in the UK, in Canada, in Aus and NZ, and right here in the USA. Ignoring your worthless insult, how would you propose anyone fight a government without weapons? Can you think of instances where poorly armed forces fought a bigger badder opponents to a standstill?

There is no Chicago gun ban. It's getting rather like Dallas. Yeah, you're going to have to back that one up with some examples. I suggest number of gun stores, foid required or not, and ccw availability, for starters. Then come back and tell us how Chicago is getting to be like Dallas.
