The Dems needed a way to pull them into their power base and promising just enough in conjuction with the message that the other guys don't want to give it to you because they are racist. did precisely that.

Heres to speaking your mind. Truth to power bro. Some of these grown boys could learn a lesson or two as to what it means to be a real, independent, free thinking man from you.

Its a little disturbing the crap that passes for an education these days but I digress. In my life I have not heard the n word as many times as I do when I go over to sit with him. He uses it in the context of, this is how a republican thinks. It gets on my nerves. Both, because he says it all, but moreover because he defines me and my thought process that way.

Those of us that consider ourselves conservative rather than republican are a little more interested in constitutional conservatism and less so in creating permanent power structures. The drawback is that if the left succeeds in creating their own perm infrastructure (socialized health care) then the right is at an inherent disadvantage financially. Good news is, true conservatives will always have the ideological advantage as seen by the recent upwelling of support.

Additionally, Bertha is the only one on record for all of this rhetoric and I would guess they are probably hoping to have a ready made scapegoat. These people have been around long enough that they would undoubetedly have a contingency plan for just such a situation.

When debating someone from the left the first major obstacle is getting their idiotic perception of my views correct. That is what happens when people get their understanding of us from those that don't understand or even like us, you know like teachers and news orgs.

I wonder if this is a new strategy or if this has been common practice for some time to get around releasing non-classified information. Either way, it's disgusting and a complete contradiction of the administrations promise to the voters during the election. But, then again pretty much everything they have done is.

That should be enough! It is in a court of law. Unless of course you are an apologist, in which case you have made yourself known as nothing more than the classic useful idiot. You know what that is don't you?

But even if it is redefined you are talking about massive implications for a lot of the things that effect our lives. For better or worse I don't know, but you could potentially be looking at massive contradictions from state to state in regard to policy and regulation not to mention the tax implications. You are correct in your assessments however, the consequences for such actions need to be considered.

I don't know that Dave is contrite but, if he is then let him be. Don't just talk, but walk the path of righteousness.

Only those that have done it really understand. Now it is an outlandish caricature of what it once was, a place where people in ocean liners, yes ocean liners in a freakin small lake, regularly kill those in smaller boats and children swimming off their docks with their boat wake. One of the great lakes, it is not. It really is no surprise that none of this ever really hits the news considering the political dynamic that is Missouri. You may think I exaggerate, but those that have been there know of what I speak.

That is the problem with all of these projects, there is no permanency.

I literally shook my head at the ignorance of the contradiction. Do they not have editors over there are at the center? Apparently progress has nothing to do with continuity of logic and thought or journalistic integrity.

From their perspective their was some real heavy and serious corruption and scandal that they were aware of and relatively speaking, I suppose it makes sense.

I have been witness to this kind of ideological retaliation myself. What is so frustrating is there is no recourse to be taken.
