And how do you know this? What is your source of information on what Rumsfeld did or didn't object to? Were you there?

I can hop in your car at a stoplight and start babbling about the damned radio waves that are telling me that you're satan.

Free speech I love it. This is too cool!

I'm sorry for the two previous posts. Even though you just signed up yesterday, you may have actually contributed money to the site owner in good amounts to keep this site up and running.

You 'free' speech is being paid for with the lives of service men dying to protect your right to be a blathering idiot and specifically being paid for here by patriots that have paid money to keep this site up and running.

Well - Are you going to cough up a contribution?

Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Armitage and Bob Dole opposed the the sale. At the same time, Rumsfeld was running Dole's presidential campaign.

I don't remember. Will you please provide a citation or link to your information?

This is a privately funded site. You assume because you can hit keys on a keyboard that you have the right to post here because your free speech trumps private property rights.

That means I can trespass on your property to tell you that you are an idiot and you can't do anything about it because free speech is protected by law. Right?

These idiot ACLU guys were on O'Reilly tonight and one of them made the statement, "we don't expect to prevail".

I just sat there and I was stunned. If you're a lawyer and you don't expect to prevail - then you don't take the suit to the court.

The guy just admitted to engaging in vexatious litigation.

Nope. Ron Paul Rocks. Seeing a new poster bashing Rumsfeld sets off the troll alarm.

Just be prepared to defend your views and back them up with documented sources.

I'll vote for you. So should we start your presidential election campaign fund? Sounds like you've got it all figured out.

I don't support the administration on many items and you have the right to question them on it. If you don't back up rhetoric with facts and sources, you're not going to survive here. Do your research.

I hate the idea of the "mental" testing discussed by the administration. I hate any mention of eroding any citizens rights for "security".

This administration is taking us in the right direction and we may disagree on that. They have and will continue to make mistakes. The other option last election was not an option.

The ACLU finally has caught up to the legal crap tried in Europe against the Bush Administration.

Rumsfeld Sued for Alleged War Crimes - Deutche Welle [english ver.] (11/30/2004)

Belgium kills war crimes complaints (against former President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and Secretary of State Colin Powell) - AP (9/25/2003)

Listen Hillary. You can all go talk to yourselves. That is your right, of course. I don't mean to intrude into your private circle of limited awareness.

Don't take a condescending tone to your betters.

I don't like the idea that our troops are being told that breathing depleted uranium is OK

They aren't. I don't like newbie gobshites who repeat liberal talking points while trying to pose as a "conservative."

This is not about free speech either on FR or elsewhere. You've presented no sources to back up your claim. On FR we tend to follow the "trust but verify" approach. If you have sources that back up your claims, you need to present them.

Otherwise this reads like hearsay and looks like you are here to just cause trouble.

But you said in the year 2000? Am I confused?
