All right. When do you plan to start? You haven't defended diddley doodah yet. All you've done is hurl an insult or two at people who are critical of your bigtime "conservative".
OhReally is a ratings slut, true. He's also late to the dance on this issue. Several of us here on FR have been critical of Ashcroft and have clearly articulated the reasons for our criticism. Forget that OhReally is trying to make hay of this and start your defense of Ashcroft. That defense is going to have to consist of more than a few "you're clueless" remarks if it's to be effective.
Tell us what Ashcroft has done to qualify as a conservative. Holding prayer meetings on our dime doesn't count. Tell us how he has done his job, but remember that he's been sniveling to Congress that he needs to set the Bill of Rights aside or he can't accomplish a thing.
Ashcroft looks about as "conservative" to me as his pal John Danforth does. Danforth spouts off a lot of pseudo religious nonsense, but when it comes down to where the bear stank up the buckwheat, he covered for Clinton. Ashcroft appears to be doing the same thing. Show us otherwise.
Also, don't try to twist Ashcroft's recent legal actions to bring those responsible for the 9-11 attacks, or his valid attempts to protect American's from further terrorist attacks, into something based on a distorted view of the world and a distorted sense of reality. Ashcroft is going after any and all individuals who want to harm America and the American way of life. Those subversive activities involving foreign nationals are at the top of his list.
Your remarks that Ashcroft is wanting to set aside the BoR is ridiculous. Don't give me this crap about how the word "people" is used, instead of the word "citizen". If your a foreign national in America on legitimate business, or visiting for personal pleasure, you've got nothing to worry about. However, during time of conflict and war, as the case is today, it is even more important that the federal government have the abilitites to protect the American people from any aggressions attempted against its independence and sovereignty, from hostile forces and enemies of freedom, liberty and our Constitutional Republic.
John Ashcroft isn't John Danforth, but it appears you have a serious problem with people who have strong religious beliefs. I don't see any evidence that Danforth covered for Clinton and theres absolutely no evidence that Ashcroft is covering for Clinton either. This is standard conspiracy theory nonsense. Theres no hard facts, or proof to such scurrilous allegations.
Your trying to stink up the place with your trash rhetoric. Shove that crap where the sun don't shine. It's clear you're anti-Bush, anti-Ashcroft, anti-religous freedom, anti-Republican and anti-conservative too. In fact, I consider your remarks un-American. You sound like a liberal Democrat, a libertarian anarchist, or some form of dangerous subversive nut case.
As an American citizen, you have right to spew all the venemous rhetoric you want and I have every right to call you an gormless twit for doing so.
