I hate to agree with what sounds like the slogan you'd see some redneck wearing in Alabama at a county fairground gunshow, but...

Maybe "Gun Control Means Holding Your Gun Firmly and Hitting What You're Shooting At". Or, at least it should for NYC police officers. They just don't seem to be able to control themselves very well(or their weapons, for that matter).

Well.....

The Clintons at it again....

So, Hillary et al have taken a page from the Bush FEMA leadership. I wonder if she paid royalties to the Bushies for "borrowing" the page of that playbook. If you want to know why OLD SCHOOL DEMOCRATS will never change their colors, you only have to look at this sour old bitch. Here is the most equivocating, vacillating, triangulating old school Dem there is. First, she votes to give the most criminal president ever decided by the Supreme Court a blank check to start illegal wars, totally abdicating the right of CONGRESS to declare war. Then, after FOUR LONG YEARS of hindsight to tell her how dangerous that sort of ambiguous language is, she votes to let him march the next generation of IED fodder into Iran!!! Can't make up your mind on tough questions Hillary? Easy fix: Invent some of your own to ask yourself at campaign stops!

Bush, upon hearing the news that Pervez Musharraf had suspended the constitution and dismissed any judges who opposed him, reported sucked in a big breath of manure-laden Crawford air and said "Whell, Hell! That's STRATEGERY! Why didn't I thaink of that??"

Seriously though, I'm beginning to lose any vestigal remnants of nationalism I've ever developed in my 31 years. I was able to buy that we didn't support a democratically elected government in Gaza because the people who won the election were bona-fide, registered, copyrighted and patented terrorists. I was beginning to wonder how in the hell fair application of the Bush doctrine was being denied for Turkey, who are sick of PPK atacks by the man who told the world we'd go after terrorists anywhere they existed - and then THIS!!

What is "imperialism"? My old pal responded to my use of that term recently this way:

Jaime,

Wait a minute...are you falling for their crap?

"Imperialism" is derived from "Empire".
That implies taking over territory by force - and keeping it.

We are taking it, and giving it back to the people, both in Iraq and
Af-Fuckit-stan.
That is the antithesis of empire.

I just got back home from my vacation and I see that my first diary got slammed. Wow. I guess the kos family requires strict adherence to uber-left wing viewpoints. Well, I'm not uber-left. I'm uber libertarian - screw you loonies of the right and your counterparts of the left. And, as far as the dietary choices comments go, I was THERE in CA when some wackos decided to go and make serving horse meat illegal - and did. Now, I think it is absolutely disgusting to heat horse meat. But why go and make it against the law to serve? If nuac pham and tam nguyen want to serve some horse meat in some ethic dish at their hole in the wall restaurant, why should it be against the law? Once again - the only thing that loonie right and loonie left fascists have in common is their love running to mamma gov't to go and make something they don't like illegal. And love to ass-kicking annie for seeing my point about both parties being the same divide-and-conquer masterminds making bitches of us all. Now, onto the murderous thugs who work for Blackwater...
