  1. www.nytimes.com/2009/07/12/us/politics/12intel.html?hp "The Central Intelligence Agency withheld information about a secret counterterrorism program from Congress for eight years on direct orders from former Vice President Dick Cheney, the agency’s director, Leon E. Panetta, has told the Senate and House intelligence committees" I wonder what else they withheld? If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.
  2. Did you mean the Wilderness Instructor Belt that is, in fact, HALF the weight you claim, or did you have some other belt in mind? Maybe he has the optional buckle. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

  5. Did you really read this story? The tittle does not quite tell the story. Try speding your horizons and read some "other" sources, put it together and then maybe come back with an opinion OK www.newsweek.com/id/205958 CIA tell lies? No, it could NEVER happen.

  6. Once you put a qualifier like "lawful" you are admitting that some classes of citizen (felons) CAN be denied. You just killed your own argument. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

  8. One year ago today the average price of gasoline was $4.12/gal. Today it is $2.61 One year ago today the $US was worth .634Euro Today the $US is worth .709Euro One year ago today the $US was worth .507 UK pounds Today the $US is worth .607 UK pounds Looks like namgrunt is just plain WRONG. If the wrong things aren't Obama's fault then the positive things aren't his doing either. I assume you'll be thanking Bush for all of those improvements. Neither Bush nor Obama are responsible for Namgrunt's errors of fact. Bush gave us this recession. It started in December 2007. GOP denials of 'The "R" Word' led to it's becoming the worst since WWII. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.
  9. Oui. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

  11. Hard to belive that anyone would waste their time on this stupidity (either inventing it or believing it). If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.
  12. You sure BARF alot. Your version of crying "Wolf"? How to turn "barf" into "wolf" changing one letter at a time: Barf Bard Bald Bold Gold Golf Wolf If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.
  13. You would not "deny" it to anybody. On the other hand, you would not "provide" it to the significant part of the population that both "provides" it for themselves and "provides" it to others. If people provide it for themselves, it IS being provided. The issue is people who ae unable to provide it for themselves. If they are unable due to age, sickness or whatever to provide for themselves and society won't provide it either, then they ARE being denied the basic necessities of life. There's a document signed 233 years ago today that mentions the right to "Life...". There isn't any small print saying "not applicable to orphans, the elderly, or the handicapped) Ok - so by your words that life is a "right", abortion is a violation of one's rights. Please confirm or deny. . When fetuses are given social security numbers and get tax breaks you may have a point. Slaves, women, fetuses and other non-human lifeforms were obviously excluded from any natural rights. After all, Jefferson and many of the other signers kept (and fathered) slaves.

  14. You tried, with the war spending and corporations bullshit. Didn't succeed, though. "Thread drift happens", mnealtx Thread drift is when there's MORE than one post taking it in a different direction. Fail. Who made you the arbiter of the Internet? Arrogant!

  15. Sorry, that contradicts right wing dogma, so it must be false. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.
  16. Why are we not providing food and shelter before thinking about healthcare? WE provide some stingy welfare payments and foodstamps, and most local governments provide shelters for the homeless. No, our "government of the people, by the people, for the people" is only responsible to (and for) our people. We are NOT responsible for the rest of the world. But we (through our government of the people, by the people, for the people) are responsible to ALL our people, even the destitute. So not providing for someone who is unable for some reason to provide for herself, is indeed denying. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

  18. If healthcare, food and shelter shouldn't be provided for all, who would you deny it to? If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.
  19. And if Stalin had been more like Ghandi I expect a lot more people would have liked him too. True. But then Stalin would not have been Stalin and upwards of 20 million Russians wouldn't have been murdered. If Palin were non-religious and a Dem, she wouldn't be Palin. No, just pointing out the silliness of your statement (although both have names ending in "alin"). "If my aunt had balls she would be my uncle" comes to mind, too.

  20. You want to lie to the UN Security Council? I thought better of you than that. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

  23. Funny story- I went to public school, main reason being because the private schools in my area (obviously not true for the nation...) but anyway the private schools had much less regulation than the public schools. The teachers at the private school were actually a lower quality with less credentials; a bunch of these idiots ended up paying (a lot) for a lesser education
  24. I believe that was Margaret Thatcher. I remember her, she was Ronald Reagan's speechwriter, right? If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.
  25. FACT - Bush Administration tells UNSCOM inspectors to leave Iraq, 17 March 2003. UNSCOM had reported cooperation of Iraq regime in its last report. FACT - UNSCOM found no evidence of WMDs and reported as such. FACT - Coalition troops found no WMDs or evidence of any active program. FACT - The Bush administration lied its way to the invasion by suppressing all intel contrary to its position. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.
