I'm still scratching the metal plate I someday hope to have installed in my head over this one, especially when this asshole thinks it's a good idea, then I know it's wrong. Boortz makes an excellent point here regarding the gap between rich and poor:
Barney Frank made an appearance on Neil Cavuto's Fox News Channel show yesterday. Barney had his thong in a bunch over the fact that the gap between rich and poor is, in his estimation, growing. Barney is upset that much of the increased wealth over the past few decade has gone into the pockets of the already-rich. Hey, Barney. Here's a basic fact of life for you to chew on. It is true that the rich keep getting richer ... and that is because they keep doing the things that made them rich. Ditto for the poor. You should be bright enough to figure that out for yourself. Notice how that charge was never made during the '90s, it's only when a republican is in the White House that charges like the above are made. Economic expansion is economic expansion. Poor Bernard. "Imperial Presidency" defined:
Surely no one paying attention to national politics could be missing the left's orchestrated effort to paint President Bush not only as a man infected with poor judgment and bad policies but as a power-hungry, would-be dictator. You know the drill. The alleged litany of Bush's abuses is extensive. They say he's stubborn, won't listen to advice, won't admit mistakes and lives in a bubble. He wants to force his "fundamentalist" ; religious views down America's throat.
Liberal legend further has it that he made a "unilateral" decision to attack Iraq -- as just the first step in his plan to enslave the world through democracy -- both by ignoring the wishes of our allies and trying to sidestep, then dupe, Congress. He locks up enemy combatants and throws away the key, he and his henchmen have masterminded their abuse and torture, and he denies them the full protection of the Bill of Rights.
You have to wonder where the likes of Jonathan Alter were when Bill Clinton openly flouted the rule of law. Was he not seeking to become a law unto himself? How about Hillary's penchant for secrecy and her frequent flights from accountability? What about Bill's "unilateral" bombings of Iraq and Serbia? No, it's not expansions of executive power that bother the left, but when they occur under a Republican presidency. Indeed, the term "the imperial presidency" was made fashionable by historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. in his book with that title, lamenting the arrogation of power by the executive branch that culminated in the Nixon presidency.
Michael "It might hurt" Morales' execution postponed indefinitely...
The warden had to suspend that plan when a pair of anesthesiologists who were hired to make sure Morales did not feel any pain balked at the last minute.
Concerned about his pain threshold? Perhaps beating him to death with a hammer and leaving him to die would provide a safe and effective middle ground for those chomping at the bit for pain free social justice.
Like 35 other states, California in the past gave its prisoners three separate drugs _ one to relax them, another to paralyze them and a third to stop their hearts.
Doesn't sound like he would feel a whole lot of pain to me. What do I know? I'm insensitive, my sympathies tend to extend to the 17 year old who was raped and tortured and beaten to death with a hammer and left to die. I know I'm wrong to think that way but that's just me....I'm a bad person.
