You have no idea what I’m talking about, concho. Our guys ARE holding back because of POLICY.

That cocktail party was pretty sick. Price Harry was excoriated for wearing a Nazi uniform to a party (and rightly so) yet a college president smiles widely next to a suicide bomber. Would she have been so happy if he was wearing a Nazi uniform? She might be, if she was a Holocaust denier.

My husband is a Florida resident. He has not received his absentee ballot either (unlike PC, he can’t just go the polls). Perhaps there is a matching left wing conspiracy………

[PD]

Sorry JG! I just might get kicked out after all….
I’ve misplaced my Vast Right Wing Conspiracy memo. I promise to memorize it and learn how to BAAA like a proper sheeple. 🙂

Woodrow, this is the first I have seen of any admission. This is certainly proof that Haggard used meth (his denial that he was tempted but never used is bull) and increases the likelihood that the rest of the story is true. Clearly, you had read this additional information and I had not. I apologize.

[PD]

That was really funny!

JG, sorry to disappoint! I’m glad I’m not going to be tossed out on my ear. 🙂

Woodrow, I think you are taking these allegations as truth because you WANT them to be true. Maybe they are, maybe are not. There is NO TRUTH yet in this story. Who has heard these tapes? Tested the bills for DNA or fingerprints?

For the record, I do not oppose same sex marriage. I am NOT defending this guy because I share his position on this issue. I am defending him because everyone has decided he is guilty without any real proof.

[PD]

The prostitute “claims” to have these things but has yet to produce them. There are only a few days left before a vote on same sex marriage in that state. This prostitute may be trying to influence the vote.

There is a lot to admire in Captain Secher. I feel deeply sad for his family and honor his commitment to family and country. Clearly, he was a deep thinking man (and a devotee of history, which I think a necessity for anyone who would expound on international policy). I agreed with a great deal of what he said. For instance:

If you really want to win a war you have to be brutal. You have to be Sherman and raze Georgia as you march to the sea.

This is the whole tragedy of war. People are so quick to only criticize the Marines and to demonize these young men. I pity them. Their lives are ruined, ruined by their actions which are judged by men who have never been in those situations.

I have said similar things in previous posts. I am not a fan of staying the course. I have always thought we needed to fight a harder, harsher war. We are trying too hard to “nice” it up. War is an ugly business. You can’t fight nice and win.

Captain Secher never said the war was not worth it. He said that the way we were fighting was not going to work.

He was no pacifist. His parents describe him as an unswerving Republican, and his own dispatches consistently defend the invasion of Iraq even as he anguishes over its dwindling prospects of success.

I hope his death is not used by the Cindy Sheehan types. I think he would hate that.

"Don't mistake us for Cindy Sheehan," Pierre Secher told NEWSWEEK at his Memphis home (a reference to the California woman who became an iconic opponent of the war after her son's death in Iraq). "To me, pacifism could have led to Hitler's victory. We might have all been speaking German and Japanese right now."

Maybe a lot of people are pulling their houses off the market because they don’t want to move during Thanksgiving and/or Christmas. I predict that we will see a sudden jump in late January and then a steady climb in inventory that will blow past the last high.

[PD]

I dislike religious extremism. I could care less whether someone is homosexual. In fact, I think that many people are just born that way and that it is a natural state of small percentage of our species.
Sometimes those who condemn the loudest are secretly engaged in those activities. If he was a loud condemner, and these allegations are true, then I’m glad he was shown up for hypocrite. If they are untrue (which is very possible – why is everybody so anxious to believe a prostitute?), then I feel a little sorry for him.

[PD]

I’m with you sdcellar.

[PD]

DZ,you appear to believe that anyone who does not agree with you is not thinking for themselves. We all appear to laboring under the weight of a mindless, zombie-like groupthink.
