Well, the fascists among you.

Justice, make me a star!

” This is the kind of stuff that causes the public to lose confidence in the justice system."

No “little blue dress” here…

It was all much ado about “chitchat.”
And Patrick Fitzgerald knew it all along.
He knew it less than two weeks into the investigation!

The Swiss won’t even profile a dog?

Obviously, a small group of overly aggressive pit bulldogs, or other big aggressive dogs, are the problem. Why does Grandmama’s little Fifi have to wear a muzzle?

Over half the country hated Lincoln

Posted by gimpel on August 24, 2006 - 6:32 AM

1864 was an election year.
The “Peace Democrats” (sound familiar?) called for a negotiated settlement (sound familiar?) with the Confederacy.
Lincoln’s reelection was seen as impossible by some in his own party. He was called a “Simple Susan,” a “Kentucky mule,” a “political coward,” a “butcher,” and “shallow, dazed, and utterly foolish.”

When they love America

Posted by gimpel on August 23, 2006 - 6:32 AM

more than they hate America’s President…

OK, we should set a date…

Posted by gimpel on August 22, 2006 - 6:12 AM

And we should go ahead and set a date.
Why not tomorrow?

We fight them over there…

It would indeed be ironic, and cause irreparable damage to our liberty, if in blindly defending imaginary people against imaginary danger, we sanctioned the subversion of our national defense.

The fear also rises

And keeps a plane on the ground.
"There was no fuss or panic. People just calmly and quietly got off the plane. There were no racist taunts or any remarks directed at the men."

Thank a soldier.

They are held to the standards of gods.
Yet given no such glory.

Dr. King was “skinfolk”?

Posted by gimpel on August 17, 2006 - 6:23 AM

Is he still “kinfolk”?
And doesn’t that sound demeaning to put his name in that sentence?
I apologize.
But...

Why (some) conservatives like Leiberman

Posted by gimpel on August 16, 2006 - 6:27 AM

Well, it’s the integrity.
He isn’t conservative. Quite liberal, actually.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
But he isn’t out of touch with reality.
And Democrats think there is indeed something wrong with that.

You just can’t keep a good man down.

Moveon.org took credit for it.
Will they take credit for this?

Well, what would you do?

Faizal Baig, a pilot and Muslim, was recently denied a job flying planes for JetBlue Airways. He asked if being Muslim had anything to do with their decision.

Islam Forbids Aggressive Violence? IV

Posted by gimpel on August 12, 2006 - 9:38 AM

Actually, certain passages from the Koran and certain Hadiths (supplements to the Koran), seem to encourage aggressive violence.

So do ya hate Bush now?

Posted by gimpel on August 11, 2006 - 7:34 AM

Kind of like hating penicillin, pasteurization, and double yellow lines, isn’t it?

Israel is well within the law

Posted by gimpel on August 07, 2006 - 6:23 AM

Especially the “impossible to implement on an immoral nation” international law.

International law forbids targeting civilians, placing forces in civilian areas, and allowing one country moral superiority over another.

The King of the Forest

John Kerry recently said, about the current war with Hezbollah and Israel: "If I was president, this wouldn't have happened."

Take this eighth grade logic test

Posted by gimpel on August 01, 2006 - 6:33 AM

You are a free country.
Your enemy has attacked you many times.
You were victorious over each attack.
Nuclear weapons can destroy your country in one attack.
Your enemy is developing nuclear weapons.
Your enemy has vowed to destroy you.
