But with this particular issue as with the so-called "war on terror" tain't funny.
Beyond sovereignty and our heritage there's the very foundation of our political process: can we trust our leaders?
The mainline Republican absolute refusal to be honest about why they absolutely refuse to enforce their own laws is maddening.
(Yes! I know the Rats are worse! Thank you, Nelson. I can hear you all the way up here.)
It's not the issue that's funny. Terri Schiavo and Elian Gonzales weren't funny either. All of these topics are very serious, and should be discussed. But not on every thread, especially when those threads have nothing to do with the topic at hand.
Good Lord, go to another thread...we're havin' fun here.
