Wmrs,

Your smug rudeness to anyone who disagrees with you and then then whining when you think you have been treated ruly is kinda funny, and, as THorne has stated, EXACTLY from the neo-con pundits' and apologists' playbook. YOU are the one spouting the party line.

The FACTS are that this president has done the most to damage the constitution of anyone in the history of the presidency. He has unilaterally ordained himself OUT of the system of Checks and Balances in the Constitution. He has eliminated the Writ of Habeas Corpus the law of the land for Hundreds of years in several countries.

He has instituted signing statements that completely counter the intent of the Congress' constitutionally given job of writing laws.

He is trying to make of himself a petty dictator. He has lied and continues to lie about everything under the sun.

His surge IS NOT working as planned. There are some areas of Iraq that are safer, but the country is still fighting an occupying force, the U.S.! American soldiers, wonderful men and women. are still dying for George Bush's war. Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11 and Afghansistan is falling apart again, becasue Bush wants to fight a losing battle for oil in Iraq.

And you are insulting mkemse and Thorne and me and then whining when we respond to your STILL baseless claim.

Your ideas, which are NOT common knowledge and in fact are contrary to common knowledge, are still not based on ANYTHING but that you have sais them. And then said something about the fact that Liberalism and Communism is based on the same logic tstructure, sorry but this doesn NOT make senses.

If you CAN substantiate or explain your ideas without turning it on your detractors to do your work for you, maybe I could debate you. Without and with just smug observations and insults, I can do neither.

I am a journalist. I think, I research and I study history, unlike the neo-cons I don't rewrite history. I would like to respectfully ask you to give me SOMEATHING to work with. If you don't have that, which I have to conclude is the case, then no one can debate you. Which, I feel, is what you want. You don't want to be intelligently debated because you have NOTHING to support your positions.
