    Isn't that being "voted out of office or fired"?

    So it is up to people who died up to 200 years ago to determine how the country should be governed. I take it you don't believe in democracy then?

    your criticism doesn't speak well for your rule of law comment. our nation is governed by our Constituition, not men who died 200 years ago. the Constituition doesn't change or evolve except through a defined amendment process.

    Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

      As usual, you play both sides of the street, defending the rule of law when it suits your political purposes and disregarding it when it doesn't. All you really care about is power for your side.

      I want the government of my country to function as intended by those who created it and as understood by those who have fought and died in its defense. And, yes, I want all the power possible to make that happen. However, the irony of someone on your side complaining about that is staggering, considering that Souter, a republican appointed judge, waited for a democrat government to assume power before resigning.

      Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

          Wow. You need to get more sleep or get laid. I went back to see if I could find Stan's: paranoia, his crapping on U.S. values, etc. and could find nothing of the sort.

            I don't believe in democracy. I believe in the constitutional republic that people have been fighting and dieing for since its inception.

              As a matter of fact, I do. You fought for the country as it existed at the time you fought for it. Those are the values you took human lives to defend.

                I'm not sure that Oak can really be blamed. He's got an auto-lock on Stan and Illion and the mere existance of a post from them causes Oak's reflexive nature to kick in and override cognitive reasoning. Of course, I'm now immune thanks to Diego's script. Yippeee!

                This statement is false

                            or prescient. I started listening to Glenn Beck two years ago and said the same thing. Beck was predicting the precise financial meltdown we see today, but I thought he was being paranoid. I don't think it possible to over estimate the extremes that the Obama administration would go to to implement their agenda and it absolutely pays to examine those extremes.

                                    I understand, but geez it would be a small show of decency to restrict comments to what was actually said. ya think? I still think he needs to get laid.

                                    Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

                                          not at all, I love healthy (strong) debate.
