Are the liberal Democrats becoming the black helicopter loonies of the new millennium?
Remember the black helicopter loonies of the 90’s? Linda Thompson, Mark from Michigan and the other crazies, remember how all their stupid ranting seem to stick to conservatives like Velcro? Those bozos created all sorts of credibility problems for anyone who spoke up about issues in the Clinton administration. Any time a conservative criticized the Clinton administration he or she would be dismissed as just another Clinton hating black helicopter loony. This dismissible conservative credibility in the eyes of the American public seemed to embolden Clinton to do what he damn well pleased without fear of retribution from the public, even to the point of lying to Congress and the American people.
Is the shoe on the other foot now?
Charles Schumer, Maxine Waters and others from the left appear have taken up the mantel of un-credible loonies whose words and actions are destroying any credibility the Democrats have when it comes to criticizing the Republicans and the Bush administration. Their ranting doesn’t seem to change Bush’s popularity ratings, in fact they make it look like the Democratic Party agenda is simply a sour grapes plot to get Bush.
Do the Republicans realize this? If they do realize this can they take advantage of the situation or will the innate Republican fear of doing something stupid turn into another round of not doing anything at all?
Who is "we?"
Having identity problems, too? Cybil, is that you?
LOL!
Congrats. You win a carrot.
Knucklehead. My statement COMES from the court decision. The thing you said would be constitutionally violated if congress passed a law banning partial birth (3rd trimester) abortions.
When you claimed that they have more rights than others who do not happen to be citizens.
The Constitution of the United States outlines rights that American citizens have that non-citizens don't.
You apparently don't respect the Constitution.
I could have guessed as much.
Two carrots for you.
Not it does not.
As an American (or someone being on U.S. soil for 30 seconds), I am born with rights. You are trying to twist this into my alleged support of the "Patriot Act".
No Constitutional edict holds water in a foreign land, or else our nation would have had an obligation to attack Afghanistan to save those two female evangelists.
This IS a rhetorical question - do you believe in national sovereignty?
Then why has the supreme court, in Roe, and its progeny, allowed for the federal government to regulate in this area? And if the court allows it and you dont vote for it, you're an abortionist as far as I am concerned. No silly libertarian theory should trump the right of a human being to live their full life.
The founders were Americans, the patriots who fought to free us from British rule only fought to free the United States of America, they didn't keep on going to free other people. They didn't seem to have an opinion on global inalienable rights, they didn't start some world war to make sure all people had inalienable rights, only the Americans.
So what. They said that "people" had rights and that the government has no special power to create them. Thus, it may not on whim, "remove" them.
In every jurisdictional arena, America must adhere to its consitution.
If we send the FBI to some other nation and arrest somebody, they had better abide by the constitution.
Whats that saying, the first to use the Nazi word loses. You didnt use Nazi but I must be hitting a nerve.
You may disagree that the Constitution does not outline rights of American citizens, but you'd be wrong.
Laws devolving from the Constitution allow the deportation of non-citizens.
You contend, apparently, that this is not Constitutional? Or that the United States does not have the right to force non-citizens out of the country?
Perhaps the same reason it ruled that blacks can't have rights and that corn grown for personal use is interstate commerce.
And if the court allows it and you dont vote for it, you're an abortionist as far as I am concerned.
The oath sworn by a member of Congress is to the Constitution, not the Supreme Court.
You left off Demidog, tex-omar, Zviadist, Justin Raimondo, A.J. Armitage....all the anti-Americans who hide behind the Constitution as they give terrorists the same rights as American citizens.

For shame. You have no honor.
