Hugh just said the Democrats are committed to losing the war.
He's going to play the entire exchange between Senator Kennedy and Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld and Senator Kennedy's 15 minute speech on the floor of the Senate next hour. (8-9 pm EDT.)
You can listen here.
BTW .. That quote of Hegal's that Teddy just mentioned?
Nancy Pelosi was doing the same thing at her press breifer today
I lost count how many times she repeated it and said it was Sen. Hegal's comment
Antisocial Personality Disorder is chronic, beginning in adolescence and continuing throughout adulthood. There are ten general symptoms:
not learning from experience
no sense of responsibility
inability to form meaningful relationships
inability to control impulses
lack of moral sense
chronically antisocial behavior
no change in behavior after punishment
emotional immaturity
lack of guilt
self-centeredness
People with this disorder may exhibit criminal behavior. They may not work. If they do work, they are frequently absent or may quit suddenly. They do not consider other people's wishes, welfare or rights. They can be manipulative and may lie to gain personal pleasure or profit. They may default on loans, fail to provide child support, or fail to care for their dependents adequately. High risk sexual behavior and substance abuse are common. Impulsiveness, failure to plan ahead, aggressiveness, irritability, irresponsibility, and a reckless disregard for their own safety and the safety of others are traits of the antisocial personality.
Socioeconomic status, gender, and genetic factors play a role. Males are more likely to be antisocial than females. Those from lower socioeconomic groups are more susceptible. A family history of the disorder puts one at higher risk.
There are many theories about the cause of Antisocial Personality Disorder including experiencing neglectful parenting as a child, low levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, and belief that antisocial behavior is justified because of difficult circumstances. Psychotherapy, group therapy, and family therapy are common treatments. The effects of medical treatment are inconclusive. Unfortunately, most people with Antisocial Personality Disorder reject treatment. Therefore, recovery rates are low.
This sounds like the very picture of Slick Willie. It could also describe the majority of the Democrats in Congress.
The Democrap Party is led by Domestic Terrorists! The detainees at Gitmo are resting comfortably knowing that they are being represented by the Democrap Leadership in Washington!
Mo, that man is the single most pompous ass currently in the U.S. Senate, and might be the most pompous ever.
Amen to that. I resolved last Fall that I would get right in any lib's face that engaged debate, but to do so with facts. You have to get right in their faces, just as they get into yours.
And don't back down.
They will curse you. They will attack you personally. These are the tactics Democrats have used since the 60s, in collusion with the liberal press, to distort history, national accomplishments and cultural achievements. But they will leave you alone if you assert the truth over and over and over.
Republicans are beginning to behave just as they need to. And as we need to. But always as a debate, with facts, and never, unlike liberofascists, with violence and hate.
Oh, and BTW, can I be on your team?
"If Byrd promises not to tell me how to win the Iraq war that we already won a year and a half ago, I promise not to tell him how to gain recruits for the Ku Klux Klan."
To Kennedy, Rummy should have said:
"If Kennedy promises not to tell me how to win the Iraq war that we already won a year and a half ago, I promise not to tell him how to murder a woman drinking and driving."
Welcome aoard!
: )
Any chance the good General will run for Pres in 08?
I don't know if I've ever seen (or paid attention to) the bridge pic before. That is scary and definitely an argument for not driving drunk or even sneezing at the wheel.
Well said.
I've been saying that the GOP needs a Military guy. We need a tough talking, take no prisoners kind of guy. Tommy Franks and Swartzkoff come to mind. I only saw clips of Casy but as soon as I saw him he went on my list too.
Of course I secretly wish Cheney would come to the country's rescue.
Democrats want to lose the war.....and so does Chuck Hagel, who seems to know a lot more about losing than winning.
How, then, do you explain their inordinate concern with the "rights" of these "terrorists"?
I question whether they have addressed a fraction of the rhetoric and effort toward the memory of the WTC victims as they have on the issues of Abu Ghraib and Gitmo.
If they are not "pro-terrorist", they are the next thing to it. In Cold War lexicon, "fellow travellers".
