Every one is cold here.

Really? How so? Do you mean because we support our brave troops and are grateful and thankful they unearthed Saddam from his spider hole, so that the Iraqi poeple could execute him AFTER his trial wherein he was found guilty?

Bump!

"You're not kidding--I woke up early, turned on CNN and the first thing I heard was how Saddam's execution won't mean a thing for Iraq..."


Sadly, that was the first thing I heard on "conservative" Fox News this morning also, from a semi-effeminate, ex-CIA diplomatic type:

"This really will change nothing in Iraq.."

He seemed rather happy about it as well. Angling for a well-padded position in the Clinton-Obama administration no doubt.....

My opinion of the CIA has certainly changed in the past few years.

What the hell do the Indians of North America have to do with Saddam's execution?

This poster is just parroting the standard issue line that Western whites are guilty for all of the world's sins...the DUmmie is welcome to immolate himself (or herself, as it may be) however trying to drag the rest of us down is idiotic to say the least.

Saddam ordered folks put into plastic shredders, feet first, for maximum suffering. That, in itself, is just plain sick and wrong, and for just that, he deserved a fate far worse than death.

Really? And where is that? Everyone here at my place is quite warm. Warmest December any of us can remember. And the hanging warmed us up even more. All warm and cozy. We may not have much of a New Year's celebration, because we've used up all our fireworks, but we don't mind. We'll be too busy at the reloading table to give it much thought. (We used up most of the ammo too.)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

At the Democratic Underground, any view involving logic is strictly coincidental.

WHAT A LOUZY VIDEO! I hope this is not the only copy.

Geee... what a miserable "video-grapher." A two year old could have done a better job... I really can't believe this is so bad... considering all the "practice" they had through the years videoing people being tortured or killed in all kinds of ways

Abortion and gun control is both a States Rights issue and the President has little say over either issue other than to sign or veto legislation.

The president is charged with enforcing the laws. He can choose to execute certain laws aggressively and direct his attorney general to soft-peddle other laws.

When issues are raised involving the constitutionality of federal legislation, or the question is posed which side should prevail in a case pitting state authority against and federal authority, the president directs his solicitor and attorney generals on how he wants them to argue the government's case. Indeed, he can direct them to surrender and concede the point altogether if he prefers that outcome.

The president can also seek to have Congress implement new legislation. Most state of the union addresses are a litany of the legislative initiatives the president wants to push.

Now imagine a socially liberal anti-Second Amendment, pro-gay agenda Giuliani presidency and a socially liberal anti-Second Amendment, pro-gay agenda Pelosi-Reid Congress. What sort of legislation do you believe they will agree on? How zealously do you believe a Giuliani presidency will enforce federal gun laws? What will he direct his solicitor or attorney generals to do when he is faced with a circuit court decision that upholds "hate crime" legislation that punishes free speech? How about a circuit court decision that declares that the right to bear and keep arms is a communal right, not an individual right? Do you really expect him to go to the mat to defend socially conservative views on these issues?

There is grave evil and enormous damage that can be loosed on this country when the executive and legislative branches are controlled by unabashed social liberals.

Taking your argument a step further, we had a GOP President, Congress and Senate, we still have abortions.

[concerned about politics]

"It's interesting that a liberal I know switched his party registration from D to R just so he could follow a pattern similar to Howlin's. That is, he figured the D side was already to the left, but he could do the most damage to conservatism by voting on the R side for liberal Republicans, both in the primary and general elections."



My husband and I noticed during the midterms that the "Blue Dog democrats" were more fiscally and socially Conservative than the Republicans they were running against. We understood why the Conservative democrat candidates won over the more liberal Republicans.
Howlin brought something very important to my attention. We were not voting conservative. We were voting for a letter of the alphabet.
We've decided, and you may not agree, to go Independent. Fiscal and social conservatism is what we support, and it may not be the Republican party who will do that for us anymore.
We didn't leave the Republicans. "The Republicans left us." The Republicans have moved too far into liberal territory.
We always wondered why so many people were going Independent. Now, we understand.

Agreed...and...

There is grave evil and enormous damage that can be loosed on this country when the executive and legislative branches are controlled by unabashed social authoritarians.
