Like their allies on the left, the descendants of the oppressive Islamo-facists hordes of the 8th century have no concept of personal responsibility.

SAd.

For you, I suppose, if you are truly convinced of your overpaidedness, perhaps you have an ethical duty to refund something to your clients.
Dissent. If SAM's clients ever cross check what he bills them against the time he is logged on here, that whole house of cards will fall. They'll put him in horizontal pinstripes IYKWIM. Better to just move on.

Speaking of which, have you heard from Ty?

I wish I could quit smoking as easily as David Koresh. It only took him about three days.

Interesting that you can make lighthearted jokes about a fellow american being burned to death by an oppressive regime and yet you get apopletic with liberal rage when our government uses waterboarding to extract information from known terrorists and other enemy combattants in order to ensure homeland security. How have the liberals values become so warped?

Interesting that you can call the US government an oppressive regime and decry the death of a weapons smuggler and child molester and yet not be opposed to the complete abdication by the Executive Branch of its duties protecting human rights everywhere and the privacy rights of our citizens.

How have the Conservatives become so hateful and bloodthirsty? Why do you hate America and Americans?

You don't have a good memory. We're allowed to kill, just not torture. Like when we killed Zarquawi, we killed a woman and child. I'm sure the child was innocent, yet he was killed. That's okay as long as you don't torture him.

Except for the disavowal of your previous support of torture, hasn't this been your line all along?

All of you conservatives who support the death penalty or (as Hank points out below -- the use of torture) should surely understand that sometimes, some folks just need to die. Yes?

Koresh needed to die.

[eta: Although I still believe those deaths were an accident and/or caused by the deliberate actions of Koresh and some of his lunatic adult followers.]

I am opposed to to the complete abdication by the Executive Branch of its duties protecting human rights everywhere and the privacy rights of our citizens. My opposition is what spurred me on to call the Clinton Administration an oppressive regime for its murder of innocent Americans seeking the privacy and exercise of their first amendment rights to worship. Also, that administratioons complete abdications of the protection of Elian's human rights remains appallling.

How can you support Ds who murder our own American citisens? Is it the same reason that the Ds support the appeasement and inflation of non-existent rights of foreign terrorists and enemy combatants who seek to destroy our freedoms?

In principle I am against the death penalty. The irreversible uncompensable costs of a mistake are too great.

I would like to see it done away with and replaced with life in prison, for those who merit the severest penalty, where the prisoner spends all day, each and every day in a cell big enough to house a single bed and a hole in the floor for a toilet. Three meals a day through a slot in the wall. No TV, no radio, no electronics and no books. Monthly visits from family or counsel would be okay.

did we ever confirm that elian reached Cuban shores safely? With many of the leading Dems at the helm, a vehicle near water can be a very deadly trap.

That's offensive to the military SAM. You are better than this.
