You gotta be jokin. Might as well ask the fellow to pull down the evening star and put it in a locket. Or, we could forward a similar species of claim - say, that Laura Bush has sex with farm animals - and see what he does with that.


If you wanna say you believe that she has sex with farm animals,thats fine with me.
I do not have the power or the right to change what you believe.

Now,if you say it as a fact,then I would be perfectly reasonable to ask you to back up that claim.

Now,I did not say it was a fact that some "accidents" would befall the Pres and the VP if Pelosi becomes Speaker.
I do however,believe that it could happen.


In other words, you're throwing crap at a wall to see what sticks.

Beyond your paranoid delusions and lunatic insinuations, do you have any real reason to fear a Democratic Speaker of the House?

There was an old and rather ragged chap stumbling through Central Park yesterday. He was in a serious conversation with himself regarding (I think, it was hard to tell) some overwhelming injustice that had befallen him along with the threat to humanity from the covert agents of the Arcturian landing force who'd disguised themselves as either (again, hard to piece it all together) vinyl intimacy companions or dental assistants or talk radio hosts.

I only tell you this as a clumsy and likely ineffectual attempt to provide some comfort for you as being not entirely alone in holding close some ideas which aren't shared broadly.

A Media Conspiracy
Posted by TOM BEVAN | E-Mail This | Permalink | Email RCP
I detect a devious conspiracy among the mainstream media to swing this election back in favor of the GOP:

The Woman Who Would Be Speaker
Uncompromising Pelosi Set to Seize Opportunity
By Lois Romano, Washington Post Staff Writer
Madam Speaker? Pelosi Likes the Sound
In line to lead the House if the Democrats win control, the Californian brings discipline, fundraising skill -- and a lightning-rod nature.
By Faye Fiore, Times Staff Writer


Not to mention this:

NEXT ON 60 MINUTES: Two Heartbeats Away
Sunday, Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. ET/PT
Nancy Pelosi could wind up as the House speaker if Democrats win a majority in the upcoming election, making her second in the line of succession to the presidency. Lesley Stahl reports.


What next? An Adam Nagourney front-pager profiling John Conyers and his secret post-election impeachment plans?

It looks like the dastardly Karl Rove has done it once again. Somehow he's conned the MSM into promoting the one thing that might actually have enough juice left to get Republicans to the polls en masse in 17 days: the prospect of Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Nah, that's hardly the equation. If a well armed population equalled freedom, Iraq would be a blinding beacon.


It takes more than an armed population to achieve freedom, but an armed populace is one essential component without which freedom is impossible.

As for Iraq, I'd say their biggest problem was lack of security, not lack of freedom.

Security Council

4762nd Meeting (AM & PM)



LACK OF SECURITY SERIOUS HINDRANCE TO RELIEF EFFORTS IN IRAQ,

TOP UN OFFICIALS TELL SECURITY COUNCIL



While a major humanitarian crisis had been averted so far in Iraq, the civilian population -- and children in particular -- remained at risk if the security situation did not improve substantially soon, Deputy Secretary-General Louise Fréchette told the Security Council this morning, as it met on the humanitarian situation in that country.

The Worst Congress Ever
How our national legislature has become a stable of thieves and perverts -- in five easy steps

MATT TAIBBI


These past six years were more than just the most shameful, corrupt and incompetent period in the history of the American legislative branch. These were the years when the U.S. parliament became a historical punch line, a political obscenity on par with the court of Nero or Caligula -- a stable of thieves and perverts who committed crimes rolling out of bed in the morning and did their very best to turn the mighty American empire into a debt-laden, despotic backwater, a Burkina Faso with cable.

The origin of meat processing is lost in antiquity but probably began when mankind learned that salt is an effective preservative. Sausage making evolved as an effort to economize and preserve meat that could not be consumed fresh at slaughter. In sausage making, quality standards are maintained while using most parts of the animal carcass.

Sausages are made from beef, veal, pork, lamb, poultry and wild game, or from any combination of these meats. Sausage making has become a unique blend of old procedures and new scientific, highly-mechanized processes. Traditionally, sausage was formed into a symmetrical shape, but it now can be found in a variety of shapes and sizes to meet consumers' needs. Many sausage products are vacuum packed, freshness dated and 100% edible.

A fight over textbooks in Cobb County, Georgia, a requirement that alternative theories be taught in Dover, Pennsylvania, a review of science standards in Kansas by a newly elected conservative school board; challenges at the local and state levels in some 19 states in all.

Charles Darwin referred to his famous book "On the Origin of Species" as 'one long argument.' And 150 years later that argument continues, involving ideas and facts, the meaning of science, and the role of faith.

And today, once again, the focal point for this argument is the classroom.

This isn't an empirical claim. It is a philosophical view or, more accurately, a definitional statement - if a population cannot own firearms then it is not free, period, by definition. No arguing with that.

But only a fool, or a species of American NRA member, would go on to claim that Britain or Australia or the numerous jurisdictions where gun ownership is more controlled and less pervasive than is the case in the US are all therefore less free than America.

It's really difficult to understand how this old equation makes any sense in the modern world. Citzenry can not hope to even approach a balance of firepower with the state, the presumed danger. Ought you not to demand the right to carry/own cluster bombs and pocket nukes?

Well then label me as a species of NRA member, because I am appalled by the lack of freedom in those two countries.

It isn't about fighting off the government. The Framers of the Constitution wanted the militia to prevent tyranny by fighting FOR the government.

The Framers felt that, by fighting for the government, the militia would eliminate the need for a standing army. And they felt that without a standing army, tyranny would be impossible.


For most of those who acquire firearms to fight danger today, the presumed danger is the common criminal and/or wild animals.

Many don't acquire guns with danger in mind at all. For instance, I hope to one day get a submachinegun solely for the purpose of shooting tin cans and other inanimate targets.
