Calm down. I will concede that all three of you know how to pound your hamburger better than anyone.

Congratulations!

Your mother’s must be so proud.

Now if you would stop spitting on my Country and it’s Constitution....the rest of us would start to take you seriously.

As of now you are all sad pathetic kool-aid drinkers who can dish out the baloney but can’t take it.

“Real conservative freepers who think that this will go nowhere and that time is better spent on fighting in other arenas do this:

THEY IGNORE THESE THREADS AND FOCUS ON THE OTHER ARENAS!”

Exactly. Thank you!

“Calm down. I will concede that all three of you know how to pound your hamburger better than anyone.”

Sigh. It's not pound. Seriously.

“Now if you would stop spitting on my Country and it’s Constitution....the rest of us would start to take you seriously.”

Uh, it's my country, too. I am spitting on neither it nor the Constitution. I am simply illuminating the terrain upon which Birthers have erroneously and/or pointlessly deployed. As near as I can tell, the only people spitting on the country and the Constitution are those positively hankering for a good old-fashioned military coup.

“As of now you are all sad pathetic kool-aid drinkers who can dish out the baloney but can’t take it.”

We seem to be taking it better than you.

And remember—it's not pound.

The whole issue is a source of sick amusement to them. More than a couple of them have admitted. Now who thinks s***ting on the Constitution and the rule of law is “funny”? Conservatives??!?!?!

They’re sick freaks. And if they think they’re influencing anyone or changing anyone’s mind they’re stupider than I thought. Heck, hardly anyone reads their puke; I don’t unless my eyes happen to read a sentence while I skim over their comments. I ceased reading their puked up drivel months ago.

We are simply trying to explain how the rule of law works to you, since you don't seem to understand. We respect the rule of law, and don't want to see it castigated by conservatives in a self-destructive, Ahabesque quest for a white whale that in all likelihood does not even exist.

“A Man for All Seasons” captures the essential issue quite well:

ALICE: He is! Arrest him!
MARGARET: Father, that man’s bad.
MORE: There is no law against that.
ROPER: There is! God’s law!
MORE: Then God can arrest him.
ROPER: Sophistication upon sophistication!
MORE: No, sheer simplicity. The law, Roper, the law. I know what’s legal not what’s right. And I’ll stick to what’s legal.
ROPER: Then you set man’s law above God’s!
MORE: No, far below; but let me draw your attention to a fact-I’m not God. The currents and eddies of right and wrong, which you find such plain sailing, I can’t navigate. I’m no voyager. But in the thickets of the law, oh, there I’m a forester. I doubt if there’s a man alive who could follow me there, thank God . . .(He says this last to himself)
ALICE: (Exasperated, pointing after RICH) While you talk, he’s gone!
MORE: And go he should, if he was the Devil himself, until he broke the law!
ROPER: So now you’d give the Devil benefit of law!
MORE: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
ROPER: I’d cut down every law in England to do that!
MORE: (Roused and excited) Oh? (Advances on ROPER) And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you-where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? (He leaves him) This country’s planted thick with laws from coast to coast-man’s laws, not God’s - and if you cut them down - and you’re just the man to do it - d’you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? (Quietly) Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake.

Humor is simply a potentially appropriate reaction to some of the uninformed, wildly self righteous, way over-the-top hyperventilating on these threads.

And meatloaf.

Don’t forget the meatloaf.

I see you posted to me but if you think I’ll read your puked up drivel, think again.

The meatloaf is critical.

I hear Obama is trying to seize control of it.

“I see you posted to me but if you think I’ll read your puked up drivel, think again.”

By all means, feel free to announce that your mind is closed and impervious. I think we already assumed that.

You seem to think the laughter you hear is us laughing with you.

Wrong. Were laughing at you.

Don’t try to come on here pretending like we don’t know what you are.

An American hating troll who trashes my Country daily because he thinks it’s funny.

You sicken me with your posts.

You aren’t worth posting to, except to once in a while show the newbies that we know you are full of crap.

Translation: You would not be worth posting to if I were not so filled with unfocused, ineffectual rage that I can't help myself.

No one is trashing America. We are simply standing up for reason and respect for the the actual rule of law, not this imaginary one where, you know, you get whatever result you want from a court simply because you love America better than anyone else.

You were right....don’t feed the trolls.

It just feeds into their soulless, mindless crap.

I’ll follow your advice.

Jeeze... If you don't like meatloaf, just say so.

There's no need to get all emotional about it.
