		<description><![CDATA[Pelosi going down.   I hope Cheney gets his way and all the info is released - Obama&#039;s gonna feel like he been waterboarded!
 
I want an apology from the person who said that Bush and Cheney, the evil duo acting empirically, ordered torture and anyone who denied any of this or pointed to the Geneva convention&#039;s inapplicability or rules of engagement was &quot;dangerously&quot; deluded, stupid, a liar, etc.  
 
Don&#039;t you have egg on your facies now! :D

Two links - one with video!   One links to an article in the Washington ComPost so don&#039;t tell me it&#039;s a blog.   The commentary is still spot-on.  

Pelosi goin&#039; down!   Or, you know, the whole thing will just sort of dry up and disappear now that 2 heartbeats away from the presidency is implicated and was supportive.   And fully briefed.  Guess those CIA guys were none too happy to have been exposed when they were promised anonymity (which is, you know, kind of the point.)  They been LEAKIN&#039;!   Whooopsie!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just like smart articulate people, even if they are full of ideas that are bad and wrong, so bad and wrong that we need a new word for it... badrong. Dhoti and Anniee are smart and articulate, so you know, there&#039;s hope for them if only I could stop being so condescending...

People who identify as &#039;right wing&#039; or &#039;Republican&#039; in America are stinging from a defeat, feeling maybe like their country has become something they don&#039;t understand and don&#039;t like. I remember feeling that way when Bush got elected, but you know something? I&#039;ve never in my life voted for someone I thought was going to change things. Always the &#039;lesser of two evils&#039; situation, you know?

I want to see the American Dream work, I want everyone who works hard to have a fair shot, and I want everyone here to have the opportunity to believe that hard work will get you a comfortable life in America. You guys think it&#039;s the government standing in our way, I think it&#039;s the rich by way of the corporations and the government. 

Yeah I went and brought &#039;class&#039; into it, what are you going to do about it, ye barmy right wingers? Power to the people! Free condoms and abortions for the workers, beheadings for the rich, we&#039;re doing this thing up French-Style! Yippee kay ey, viva la revolucion!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I call em like I see em, and that is a wall-o-text. However, it is a pleasant one (for the most part), so that&#039;s not intended to be an insult. I&#039;m in the process of writing one myself to answer you.
-
What I&#039;m referring to with the site more conducive to your line of thought: I dont&#039; hang out on the Daily Kos because I would be shouted down and cursed at all the time because of my values and beliefs. There is no point in my going because no one would listen to me regardless to my demeanor. You say you have these sites and go to them, so why are you insistent on fighting with people who don&#039;t seem to care about your opinion and won&#039;t change their minds regardless to how much you shout at them?
-
Now, I&#039;ve called you a troll because you tend to make &quot;trolling statements&quot; on a daily basis (daily when y ou&#039;re here), usually down at the bottom of the LOLs. I call them &quot;trolling statements&quot; because the only response you could possibly hope to get out of them is either anger or discussion, which is the hallmark of a troll. We all troll, it&#039;s not a big deal. It&#039;s when the trolling turns ugly that it becomes undesired. When you keep it clean, you get treated with a modicum of respect, as has been evidenced over the last couple of days. When you froth, you&#039;re either ignored or made fun of. You&#039;re trying to show me the error of my ways, I&#039;m trying to show you yours.
-
I have no problem with your presence here. You seem to have trouble with mine, considering your constant insults and problems with my beliefs and ideals. Just because you and I don&#039;t share the same standard, you have no right to castigate me. You have no right to talk down to me because I don&#039;t run in somewhere, guns blazing, and tell people how they&#039;re wrong. I have a different style in dealing with differing opinions than you do, and it doesn&#039;t make me any less right than you. I have stooped to insults with you in the past because of things like calling me &quot;Fisty&#039;s Poodle&quot;, &quot;FrudenRat&quot;, and the like, which, based off some of your other posts (especially on the Taft LOL and others) is beneath you. You can keep it clean if you try, but when you get called out by those who disagree with you, you get pissy and mean. I refuse to stoop to your level of insult anymore, but you&#039;re welcome to keep calling me a bigot (nice LOL by the way, is it still up?) and a poodle, and see where that gets you. It certainly won&#039;t get you respect.
-
I dont&#039; have a problem having a nice conversation with you, Dhoti, or anyone else here, even the trolls. But don&#039;t stoop to getting pissy and mean if I ask you to cite, if I ask you why, or if I challenge you on something, because that&#039;s just par for the course here. I&#039;ve had to cite my butt off, especially when I first started coming around, just to gain a little credibility with the regulars at the time. There is nothing wrong with being challenged. If your beliefs and facts are as strong as you claim, then a challenge should do nothing but shore those up to everyone else.

		<description><![CDATA[No reply button on your post, so &quot;I never cease to be amazed at people staying where they are either mad all the time, uncomfortable with the topics, arguing with the same people, and throwing names around. Honestly, is all the bile worth it? Why not find a place more conducive to your line of thought, and where people will possibly change their minds when you present your opinion? You and I were having a decent conversation about Pakistan, and then BOOM with the unnecessary insults just because of a completely separate conversation? If I was thought to be an idiot by everyone I’m hanging around, I’d leave where I was hanging around. But then, I’m a rational person, so whatever.&quot;

You also just called me a troll, so much for pleasant conversation.  However, I&#039;m perfectly able to compartmentalize and multitask - I can have 3 or 4 separate conversations with you and depending on the topic and your behavior they may be pleasant and they may not be.

&quot;Why not find a place more conducive to your line of thought&quot;

I already have plenty of such places; which vary in their guidelines and rules, and where I have plenty of friendly acquaintances and friends who share at least a core set of beliefs.   Some are atheists, some are fundy Christians, some are moral and social conservatives and some are complete social/moral libertines - where we *all* converge is our devotion to the giuding principles of the Declaration, the Constitution, and a love of this country as it is meant to be, and rugged individualism.    You as one of the frudenrat can&#039;t comprehend that kind of devotion, which is tragic but I can&#039;t let that bother me too much as it&#039;s something that has to be dealt with firmly.

Now, as to this site, this is as far as comments, thus far, an unmoderated site which does not bar any particular viewpoint nor moderate arguments among members.    If you do not like my presence here, that is tough luck for you - I happen to enjoy coming here, I enjoy some of the captions, I enjoy tweaking hard leftists and their stupid captions, and so on and so forth.  You&#039;re just going to have to get used to it.  It takes all kinds of people to make a world, I like this place, and intend to come around.   Until this site it moderated and becomes a leftist domain, it is not one no matter how much you proclaim it to be.    Just gonna have to learn to deal.    Or perhaps you could enjoy the friendlier conversations we are able to have and you might notice that if you stop throwing so many stones (I realize you don&#039;t understand now how many you throw, and how unprovoked, but you do) you just might find those the majority of conversations.   

Call this a wall-o-text and you&#039;re seriously getting reamed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What are you on?  I have Singulair but it&#039;s ridiculously expensive for me right now, so I don&#039;t take them everyday like I should, only when I think I&#039;m going to be in a situation where I might have an asthma attack.
