Gee! What coincidental timing. ObamaCare is on the ropes and the Leftwing loons are growing angry with Obama. What to do? What to do? Simple. Try to make the loons forget their disappointment about public option ObamaCare fading away as well as punish those Wascally Republicans by unleashing the Attorney General Hound Eric Holder on the EVIL Bush administration by investigating laughable torture allegations. Does anybody think Obama would have given the thumbs up to Holder if ObamaCare were sailing along thanx in part to cooperative Republicans? Of course not. This is an entirely POLITICAL investigation. And if you doubt it, just check out the bloodlust glee of the KOmmies in this THREAD, "Breaking: HOLDER to appoint Special Prosecutor!!!" Yeah, the liberal MSM types will publicly pretend that this investigation isn't political but the KOmmie posts here belie that pretension. So let us now watch the KOmmies dance for glee over the highly political investigation of the Bush CIA in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching yet another example of Chicago thuggery that is sure to backfire bigtime, in in the [barackets]:
Breaking: HOLDER to appoint Special Prosecutor!!!
[Enjoy! Perhaps you won't notice the ObamaCare fade while you're celebrating.]
Just got text from WAPO: US Attorney general to appoint prosecutor to investigate allegations that CIA interrogators broke anti-torture laws.
[EEK! They tortured with A/C and extra helpings of orange glaze chicken with rice pilaf.]
This is a great day in America. I don't know much about Durham, but I know having a special prosecutor is what I've wanted since Jan. 20, 2009, and one of the reasons (besides healthcare) that I worked so hard on the campaign.
[Since ObamaCare seems to be a bust, one out of two ain't bad. However, when the backfire comes, you will end up with ZERO out of two.]
Lock 'em up, incl. Dick.
[Straight to The Hague. Do not pass Go.]
Especially Dick. He's the instigator here. He above all needs to be taken down.
[Cheney was in the CIA the past 8 years? No matter. Prosecute now and sort it out later.]
Don't forget the Chimp. He signed off. Don't let him skate with "Who, me? I'm too stupid."
[Why not go for broke and prosecute Rush Limbaugh too?]
There must be investigation, there must be prosecution, and there ultimately must be life sentences without parole or pardon for 1) the people at the top who ordered torture, 2) those near the top who violated the Constitution on an almost daily basis to allow it to happen, and 3) those who crafted the legal opinions to let it happen.
While many others also arguably deserve life sentences, the absolute minimum is for the people in those three categories to spend the rest of their lives in prison. Anything less is unacceptable to the continued survival of the Constitution, the rule of law, and any semblance of morality or human dignity.
Names in those three categories include, but are not limited to: Cheney, Rove, Bush, Addington, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, Yoo, Bybee.
[And don't forget Barney the Dog.]
Why not use the the Nuremberg trials as a guide....for trying our home-grown international law and constitutional criminals? I can see little difference between the Nazis and these bastards.
[Eichman turned up the A/C at the camps and force fed the prisoners large helpings of orange glaze chicken?]
Rummy, too and I'm betting a guy named Rove got involved, too. Not to mention a couple of Generals.
[Fortunately Karl Rove has already been indicted on May 12, 2006.]
I did state that they should all be in prision. Heck, the dog should probably go too for standing by his master til the end.
[I SWEAR I did NOT read this when I jokingly posted above about Barney the Dog being investigated.]
but what I have learned about Holder ... is that he's methodical and extremely prepared - he's been pushing back on a special prosecutor on torture until he had a clear strategy ...
[but what I have learned about Holder ... is that he's been pushing back against prosecuting the Black Panthers in Philly for threatening voters at the polls with clubs.]
We can lock up the interrogators. We can lock up the memo lawyers. We can lock up people like Rumseld and Rice. All that would be great. But in the end, it STILL won't send the message that the world needs to see. Unless we also lock of GEORGE W. BUSH AND DICK CHENEY, this is gonna be little more than a whitewash.
[Hey! Go for broke! LOCK UP ALL CONSERVATIVES!!!]
I think maybe the overall populace will need to see a huge accumulation of facts before they will begin to believe the degree of horrific-ness that the Cheney administration represented. This move opens to the door to those revelations to those who don't watch MSNBC.
[Yeah, it will open their eyes as to how political these investigations are.]
After the Fitzgerold fiasco I'm not sure it matters. I don't know that the criminal enterprise that was the Bush/Cheney administration can ever be cracked.
[MERRY FITZMAS!!!]
Now let's hope it actually leads to actual justice!
[Justice like the Marc Rich pardon to which Holder gave his thumbs up.]
Look, I want to see Bush and Cheney investigated as much as anyone, but the idea of us "pushing" the AG on any of this is incredibly offensive. It's not Holder's job to give a shit what you or I think. It's his job to enforce the law.
[Enforce the law? So where were the indictments of the Philly Black Panthers who threatened voters with clubs?]
These crimes must be prosecuted, no matter where they lead.
[Unless they lead to Black Panthers intimidating voters.]
Obama took on Holder specifically because he knew he would seek this info out and pursue it, maybe the exact day isn't the best timing but you can be sure that there was a general time frame for investigations to begin.
[The time frame began when Obama's popularity entered the free-fall stage.]
I don't want to see Cheney locked up. As a person who also has a pacemaker, I want to see the battery in Cheney's pacemaker removed. That's good enough for me.
[Feel the love!]
Does anyone think this is strange timing? It seems like there are so many Obama Administration irons in the fire right now, will this get the attention it really needs? Perhaps this is a way of getting the Grand Obstructionist Party to pay less attention to killing Health Care reform and to leave Cap 'N Trade alone.
[Yup! It certainly is strange timing. And it is ALL ABOUT POLITICS.]
All I want for christmas is Bush-Cheney in a cell
[MERRY FITZMAS!]
Would have LOVED Fitzgerald in that post.
If you will recall...Fitzgerald did NOT indict Rove.
[Oh yes he did. It happened on May 12, 2006. Just ask William Rivers Pitt.]
This only matters if they go after DoD higher ups and the Vice President. Locking up some CIA chumps will be a waste of time and effort and make us look like dicks.
[Have no fear. You already look that way.]
I have said it before, timing, by the time 2010 - 2012 roll around, Dick and Geroge will be getting their subpeonas.
[Drooled the KOmmie in anticipation.]
The Right will point to left-leaning sites like Kos and say "See it's a political witch hunt".
[Li'l Beaver's finger is already pointing straight at you.]
This is an instance where it would be better to celebrate in silence and let the process go where it may. Obama has desperately tried to distance himself from any Holder situation, to try and keep politics out of it.
[Too late. We have already noticed your gloat fest.]
They need to get the higher ups, especially Bush and Cheney, and they need also to go out and expose just how widespread this atrocious behavior was. I think that every time we win one thing, it makes it easier to win the next one. It's about time; let's go!
[Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! Bush and Cheney must go...to The Hague.]
I had hope and faith that this would happen. I am so happy!
[And when you're finished with the massive urinations of happyness in your pants, you might notice that ObamaCare has been run off the road.]
War crimes were committed by George W. ("We don't torture!") Bush, Dick (dictator) Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, John (Torture isn't torture so it is legal.) Yoo, George ("Medal of Freedom") Tenet, Alberto ("I don't recall.") Gonzales, John (Jesus Christ is my savior.) Ashcroft, David Addington, et. al. Execute quickly!
[Bypass the trials! Go straight to the gallows!]
Genealogy online has been taken over by business. Most databases aren’t available as they were before without subscription. And many of those subscriptions are pricey. A person could go broke if relying mostly on online services.
I dropped out of genealogy a few years ago from hitting a dead end. Then yesterday, in doing a quick search regarding my Godfather, I came up with two interesting links (one discussed above and another) that got me going again; at least for a little while. We’ll see how far this goes...
Genealogy is a lot of fun, but it can become very
convoluted when you are trying to find some of the older links.
I had to quit doing it for a while. I couldn’t remember which
direction I wanted to go!
I started in 2001 when my mother passed away. She had a book with names and dates, so that gave me my first clue. I discovered a cemetery in Chicago where I suspected my great grandfather was buried, and wrote them. they sent me a package of information, along with a letter of inquiry from a woman claiming to be a descendant of my great grandmother’s line. I never knew she existed.
Came to find out she and her husband were both deceased. But further work provided a number of relatives of her who I contacted. One was given that descentant’s file cabinet full of genealogy data, much of it pertaining to my family. That relative actually mailed me a box full of family data going back to Germany.
That’s one of the good stories. There are far more that wind up dead ends...
There are many dead ends! I did discover some cousins I never
knew existed, and that’s a good thing! My dad never talked
about his family, and there were all these people....
I might start it up again if I ever can find the time...or
all my paperwork! LOL!
Well, good luck. I've found that getting away from it for a time, then returning, allows a fresh look at things that can make all the difference. It's happened to me before, and probably will again...
You are inspiring me to give it a shot!
PJ is probably rolling his eyes at these posts! LOL!
Nah, he's busy filling up my Twitter page...
LOL!
That reminds me to go look for him there! :D
Look under pjcomix...
Thanks! I tried pj comix with a space and it didn’t work! LOL!
Hey, hey! I just received a Facebook reply from that woman I referred to in post #58, and she’s definitely a second cousin or something. I’ve replied suggesting she requests a friendship, then she can get my email address so we can correspond that way. I don’t want our family stuff going on through Facebook. Once I hear from her, I can send her my gedcom file.
It appears Facebook DOES have its uses for genealogy research...
That is very cool! I hope you can get lots of information
by corresponding with her!
Most of the posts on Twitter are are a bunch of useless navel gazing crap. However, because of the sheer volume of the posts there are a lot of great research nuggets in there. Just use the Search function to weed out the useless stuff. Like using a sluice to get rid of the useless dirt when looking for the gold nuggets.
And what makes you think I'm not looking for dirt?
Only kidding...
Well, I just emailed my gedcom file to her. She has other relatives in my general line that share information so something may very well come out of this. Yeeeehawwwww!
AWESOME!!!
You have family! LOL!
Yeah. Whod'a thunkit. There are people willing to acknowledge being related to me... Huh!
LOL! Hope you find out lots of new stuff from your new cousin!...or whatever her relationship!
Cousin is just fine. I'm not into "relationships"... :)
