“Sharp sticks and rocks? Curious how you think that will work, considering that those same Republicans own most of the guns in this country. Just like a liberal...bringing sticks and rocks to a gunfight.”

“Are you referring to republican officials? Or any republican? You see, my father is a republican. He is a retired auto -worker who volunteers his time working for the republican party in Kentucky.

He is, of course, more of an Eisenhower republican, but he is republican nonetheless. He worked for GM for thirty four years, raised a good family, contributed to his community in a myriad of ways (often volunteering in shelters on holidays). He has worked tirelessly with different groups for varying causes (including a great amount of charitable work), has generously given what he could to friends in need, even when he had little to give.

So, are you suggesting that my father, 74 years old, widower as of this fall, should be treated as you suggest above? If that is the case, I believe I would have an issue with your suggestion. And I would suggest that I am far better prepared to handle the situation accordingly than you might be should you try to run him out of town.”

“Yep. Saw Dylan many years ago in Allentown, Pa. and he never once spoke to the audience. He faced us and sang song after song. I didn't feel he thought we were beneath him. I did enjoy his music even though I had to adjust to his not talking to us.”

“Mexico has term limits at all levels of government. And anyone with an ounce of sense can see that Mexico's system is sooooo superior to ours.”

“Right, good luck thinking those laws are gonna pass...........but it's nice to dream.........”

“Right on the money fez! Fanned!

This is retribution. Plan on simple. These two have an extensive "enemies" list and use their power to persecute and prosecute them.

No one with any salt ever runs against these two T00LS. We need choices. I don't know why, but the dems don't run any strong candidates against either of these guys. So the dems and indies stay home on election day. And look what you get from the repubs that show up at the polls. Two thugs.

Come on. Run a strong progressive dem or indy against these characters. They'll be history. Just like mc drool will be come the 2010 election.”

“Actually, the Republic endorsed Arpaio's opponent, which was surprising to many since the Arizona Republic likes to pretend to be "fair & balance" even though Arpaio/Thomas' corruption is so blatant. Plus, I think a reliative of Arpaio is in a high position at the Republic. It was surely surprising that they endorsed Saban. I mean, Arpaio's reign of corruption marched on while the Republic kept its mouth shut about that -- just barely mentioning the allegations against Arpaio with the next paragraph indicating that Arpaio denies them -- the end -- wow. No input or reasoning -- no discussion as to who was really right -- kind of like Dawn's blog here -- except that the overwhelming weight of her blog does appear to cast doubt on Arpaio/Thomas' legitimate purposes.”

“Fanned--you got it. Only the local New Times has been exposing Arpaio for what he is (and Thomas as well) for years and years. These two would indict their dentists if they got a toothache. This time they picked the wrong people to scr3w with...all the judges involved have great records at being balanced jurists. The Feds need to grow a pair and take this on.”

“Hmmmmm. Very interesting and original post.”

“Wouldn't signing a treaty in Copenhagen, relinquishing US sovereignty be treason? I think Inhofe is trying to stop that from happening.”

“I agree Inhofe's actions are harmful, and in the colloquial sense, absolutely, treasonous. But to find him legally guilty of giving aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States would require defining Koch Industries and Exxon-Mobil as enemies, and while I have no problem with that, it seems different from how judges are inclined to interpret the same words.

I do think that in a few years, as the popular culture evolves and the Department of Justice follows along, a RICO (Racketeer Influenced & Corrupt Organizations Act) investigation is probable. In as few words as possible, lobbying against clean sources of energy constitutes racketeering because it keeps us all dependent on a dwindling supply controlled by very few billionaires. We're so dependent on their product that our government gives them $70 Billion every year, just to keep gasoline prices as "low" as $2.60/Gallon. It's a protection racket: give them federal subsidies, or they'll bankrupt 80% of the citizens at the pump. Forcing this on us has been racketeering and Jimmy Inhofe is up to his eyeballs in it.”

“Yes, exactly.”

“Well said! Instead of keeping us safe, they have lied to us, @!#$$! off the rest of the world and have undermined our security! Time for a new agency with new goals!”

“Yup that would be them.”

“Fez, great post, faved, already a fan.”

“It was the Dem Congress bill W did not sign, Congress did not pass W's budget”

“Now THIS is a reasonable mind.

Let me just add a Part 2 to the idea, if I may.

After he makes that speech he needs to make a short conference
call to the leaders of Afghanistan, North Korea, Iran, and another
half dozen or so and say, "Look guys, it's just going to be this
simple for the 4 or 8 years I'm in office. You're going to behave.
We have intelligence enough to know who's where meaning
all of you and your rat holes, just like the one we found Saddam
stuffed away in.

The message is short and simple. Mess with the bull, you get
the horn. Screw with us during the next 4-8 years, we're going to
do a non-stop carpet bombing number on your rat holes, and
we're not stopping until we know your name is included in the
list of casualties.

So, Michelle just made some hot chocolate and she and I and
the kids are gonna kick back now for a little Christmas cheer.
I don't need an answer or a response from any of you. Just
wanted to let you in on my personal New Years Resolution.

And hang up.”

“Right on! I'm a fan of Obama, but this latest move is a big disappointment. My only question about Fez's plan is how do we root out the remaining Al Qaeda terrorists when we have fewer troops than we have now? We lack the trust and good faith of Afganis and Pakistanis to accomplish this.”

“Strong words that I agree with.”

“DING ..DING ..DING , WINNER!”

“Let me clue you in on a little secret. Why do you think they moved from Afghanistan to Pakistan? Could it be, just maybe, because we took over Afghanistan and overthrew the Taliban? What do you think would happen if we left now and the government couldn't stay in power?

And how exactly are we supposed to carry out missions across the Pakistan border if we don't have a military presence in Afghanistan? Please, enlighten us.”
