dmarc117 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/A...o-Tyranny-.aspx In our times, American democracy is being dismantled, piece by piece, before our very eyes by the current administration in Washington, and few people seem to be concerned about it. The president's poll numbers are going down because increasing numbers of people disagree with particular policies of his, but the damage being done to the fundamental structure of this nation goes far beyond particular counterproductive policies. Just where in the Constitution of the United States does it say that a president has the authority to extract vast sums of money from a private enterprise and distribute it as he sees fit to whomever he deems worthy of compensation? Nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tosberg34 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) he's baa-aack!! This is funny. This is the exact same thing the left was doing when GWB was in office. Only NOW is it hysteria.

Call me a waffling middler if you must, but the point of my link/joke was merely to point out that dchickenlittle was back to his old the "Book of Eli apocalypse" is upon us tricks. Nothing more, nothing less. Why do you righties always have to politicize everything? Edited June 22, 2010 by darin3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know both you and caddyman have said as much, but I just don't remember anyone from the left (with the possible exception of skins) who used terms like traitor, tyrant, secession, rebellion or civil war in their rhetoric. I may be wrong, but my aged memory just doesn't recall. I know I was a pretty vocal critic, but I just don't recall that level of accusation. BJ, do you think you could find it? I honestly would like to know so I can see if my memory serves or betrays me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did see "secede" used in the sense of "Let (fill in state) secede." whey they did something the poster did not like.

SEC=UGA Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 It's not people like this that deserve bashing, but rather the conservative hawks that use heroes like this to forward thier political agenda. The men and women who are fighting in Iraq deserve all the accolades we can muster and more. The a$$h0le that sent them there in the first place by lying to the American people deserves impeachment.

cre8tiff Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Cool, I did (and still do) think he needed to be impeached for doing a bad job, but isn't there a difference between impeachment, which follows the structure of our existing government and things like secession, revolution or civil war? I sure think there is. Did anyone ever call him a traitor or a tyrant? Or did I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cre8tiff Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) - you really wanna know the answer to that? I do. If you haven't noticed, I like to always back my arguments with factual data from links, etc. I would truly like to know if this is indeed tit-for-tat, or if the level of rhetoric has been raised way beyond what the left did during the Shrub. If I did it, I'll cotton to it. (And drop that argument for good) Edited June 22, 2010 by cre8tiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEC=UGA Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) Well, since you used the past tense, you can be forgiven as simply someone who was duped and/or found the alternative equally distasteful. I am referring to those who still support him despite his total disregard for the American way. Who support him despite a Stalinesque inclination to bury any information that doesn't conform to his agenda, typically at the expense of the welfare of this country. Who don't seem to be bothered by the fact that... Oh for godsakes! Are you honestly going to make me outline the litany of insanely horrific shortcomings and violations of this administration? Do you live beneath a rock? In short, those who continue to support a leader who continually acts above the law are cowards. Those who follow a leader who continually violates the fundamentals that this country were founded on is a traitor. Keep in mind, the absolute nature of my choice of words was chosen because this is exactly what anyone with the courage to stand up and call this a-hole what he really is branded as. I think Bush and Cheney are traitors. I am convinced that history will paint them as such. Cre8, in your defense, you did state that the word "traitor" might be taking it a bit too far. I don't have enough, ummm, patience to search much deeper, but you may be right about your personal statements. ETA: Actually here is your quote in response to Chavez saying that "taitor" was an awfully strong word. Tell that to any one of the number of right wing supporters that throw that about with inpunity. You did not actually admonish det, but that is really neither here nor there, you did not, in that post use the word traitor.

This is good enough for me to drop the idea that the same sort of things weren't being said about GW. Dangit, and the view was so nice from my high horse, too. Thanks for searching.
