one kooks-a-plenty shake going on there..
If I lived in Fresno, I'd be pissed off about everything all the time too.
Libs...anything their side does is great, anything the other side does is bad and wrong. Same old story that will never change.
This is a bald faced lie.
What a rag. The Fresno Bee has to the western version of the NY Times, they're way loonier than the LA Times.
Dispatcher - are there any jackbooted thugs currently available in that vicinity?

I meant that last post I did for the author of the article :)
Yawn. I remember during the Clinton administration, how he wanted just about every financial transaction to be reported to the government, a "clipper chip" in every computer to let the FBI have a backdoor for domestic spying, and more government snooping on anyone legally owning a gun. The argument was that if you snoop on millions of people, eventually you will find a criminal. Most leftists were delighted with that. Now there is a net narrowly focussed on terrorists and their helpers and you would think it is the end of the world and the leftists want to grant civil rights to foreign terrorists.
If you win elections you may choose nominees. If you don't then shut up and call all Republicans racist, homophobic, sexist, religious zealots!
So soon the libs forget the multitude of Presidential power grabs signed by Clinton. "Stroke of a pen, the law of the land." Talk about avoiding the Legislative Branch!
To the Editor:
I seldom read the Op/Ed page of any newspaper, much less a paper from Vermont, but I feel compelled to respond to your editorial “A troubling symptom”. It must be terrible to be a member of the apoplectic, impotent Left nowadays. The American electorate has turned out or turned down your leaders, the GOP controls both Houses of Congress and the White House. As any president would, Mr. Bush has sent qualified, highly intelligent candidates that fit his ideology to the Supreme Court.
In other words, the system is working…and you on the Left can’t stand it. Too bad. Instead of crying about how right you are, why not try to engage the American People on their own terms? Why insist, by extrapolation, that we are idiots for voting candidates into office that we actually want, like Mr. Bush? How about dropping the overheated, Bush-bashing rhetoric and speaking calmly instead of screaming? MoveOn.org, People for the American Way, NARAL, Code Pink, Veterans for Peace and others have failed to convince because they (and you) come off so predictably frantic, hate-filled and unbalanced. That will win few votes. So, why not publicly oppose them and their methods?
Actually, I am quite happy about this turn of events. I believe Judge Alito (or Alioto as Ted Kennedy called him) will be brilliant as Associate Justice Alito, showing his wisdom, experience and intelligence on the Supreme Court as he has done on the Circuit Court.
So, keep up the good work. The crazier you on the Left appear, the better Americans will see your true natures and send your devolved, childish thinking to the ash heap of history.
Just what I have said all along, no matter what the Dims are accusing the Bush Admin of, they are and have been doing the same.
I love when people like Al Sharpton say things like "Why haven't we gotten Osama yet?" And that if he was elected President, he would get him, as if the president should personally get on a C130, grab an M16, and go hunting in Bora Bora. Does he think Bush intentially let him go? Why? For what reason?
No matter who is in the White House, would they not still have the same military commanders and troops, and the same CIA and FBI? Do they think everyone would be fired and all new people would take over and solve all the problems and trouble Bush got us into? Get real!
The left is total lost.
They can not grasp that conservatives ARE the majority and the looney left was only in power because there was no way to expose the lies.
(ie walter cronkite is a bit lefty liar, jimmy carter is a raging socialist egomaniac, and feminism is about promoting lesbians and destroying parenthood.)
That's not where the founders meant us to go, but it is where we are being taken. It's a frightening destination.
Rather than one chief executive and commander in chief who is directly accountable to the electorate and their elected representatives, I think it'd be far better to run our country by the consensus of 535 prima donnas, most of whom have no regard for the Constitution or the rule of law.
