I coiuldn’t agree with you more Lars. In fact, let’s take it one step further as long as we’re finally seeing “eye to eye.” Because, I’ve been claiming that we’re a “nation of laws and not men” since the first days of the Obama administration. Don’t you agree that George W Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, David Addington, John Yoo, Alberto Gonzales, Jay Bybee, Condoleeza Rice and anyone else in the previous administration who violated our laws should have been held legally accountable for the laws they broke while in office? Like, for example, torture (you know, Lars, waterboarding - I know some of the “right” wingers seem to think just because we prosecuted the Japanese for doing this to our troops after WW II, and the FACT it’s a violation of our own existing laws along with the Geneva Conventions doesn’t make it a crime as long as it’s a republican authorizing it and it’s a Muslim getting tortured - but as long as you’re acknowledging we’re a “nation of laws” I’d think you would have to agree with me on this one). Or what about the warrantless wiretapping? Are you comfortable with that Lars? How would you like Obama wiretapping you? I’m sure you probably thought outing a covert CIA agent was OK, because you’re talking points manager just told you to say she wasn’t covert (despite her 20 years of service to this nation and the CIA’s confirmation that she was a covert agent - I doubt that you guys spent too much time worrying about how many other people were compromised on that one). But, as long as we agree on this “we’re a nation of laws” thing - let’s join together with a petition to get President Obama to open the investigations of Bush/Cheney which should have commenced the day he took office. What is wrong with that man? - how can a president turn his back on all that illegal activity (I’d say “alleged,” but both George and Dick admitted to authorizing waterboarding RIGHT ON THE TV! I saw it with my own eyes). Oh yes, Lars - personally, I believe we have plenty of laws on the books to take care of any “lawbreaking illegal aliens” as well as any lawbreaking “legal” aiiens - you know - like you and me! OK, I’m not suggesting you and I are “lawbreaking” but we are “aliens” aren’t we? And, should we decide to become “lawbreaking” well, it goes without saying………..

this country was founded as a nation of laws…not a nation of lawbreaking illegal aliens

Comment on Isn’t that just like these republicans - people like Lars Larson calling people like me “elitist” while “kissing up” to those poor “blue collar” Wall Street billionaires! by admin

Lars, How did you find my little rant out in the middle of cyberspace? I’m guessing you must “google” your name so that in case anyone is trying to point out the truth about you - you can do a little bit more blithering. Of course, if my argument was “weak,” as you put it, you’d actually address my argument with some kind of rational thought. Maybe you have to check in with the “masters” to find out what’s appropriate to say, huh? Of course, a nice little “race card” comment propbably makes you feel good. I’m sure you’ve never heard any of the “code words” McConnell and the others (probably you too, although I’ve never listened to you enough to know this for sure) use to assure all those tea partiers carrying the dispicable racist signs at their “rallies” referring to our sitting president in terms I wont repeat here - that they are loved! Love having you here Lars, but why don’t you explain to me why it’s a good idea to allow the Wall Street bankers to continue “swapping derivatives” and leveraging debt to the limit so that we can experience another global financial meltdown - AND - they can continue to receive HUGE incomes from their gambling - with no PENALTY when things go south? Explain to me why no regulation is good regulation Lars. Sometimes, I wonder whether you republicans have enough memory capacity to still remember the Bush administration from so long ago. What’s the saying? Those who choose to ignore history are destined to repeat it. As good as another meltdown sounds to you Lars, I’m not buying it. (If the democrats had any guts they’d reinstitute Glass Steagall and that would go a long way in solving the “too big to fail” problem)

the fact that you can’t hold back that race card play in the first couple of lines show you know how weak your argument is

Comment on Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck are appealing to low information voters for their support, and evidently there are millions of them in America! by admin

Actually Lars, it’s kind of fun having you around. Let me explain something - just so we’re clear with each other. I “get” why there’s so many “low information” voters (and, by the way - that’s a term I picked up elsewhere that made sense to me - I had to force myself to find the energy after working all day to start reading up to find out the truth about what you and the others have been cramming down my throat for years - you know, like “fighting the Iraqi’s over there so we don’t have to fight them over here” - that’s one I heard from you). I know a bunch of the so-called low information voters. They’re working two jobs to try to put food on the table for their families. The part that bothers me - which you failed to “pick up” is people like you who are inciting these good folks who actually believe someone in your position would be telling the truth. They don’t have time to “fact check” the right wing propoganda - and you know this. I don’t know how some of you right wing “talkers” sleep at night turning all these good people against their own best interests. Your comment accusing me of having a “feeling of elitist superiority” would be laughable if guys like you weren’t spending every waking moment convincing good American working folk that your corporate masters were looking out for their best interests.

Wow, all I had to do was mention Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh to get Lars Larson to read my blog. Now, I really do feel stupid. By the way Lars, how does it feel to be a paid liar??? Usually no one responds to my little “rant” out in cyberspace - but, to be called an elitist “democrat” by you is a privilege. Of course, that only proves my point - because you have no idea what you’re talking about! (at least, in reference to me)

“Low information voters?”
must be nice to KNOW that you are simply better informed than your fellow Americans!
that feeling of elitist superiority is essential to being a 2010 democrat party member.
You have to know that you simply know more than other citizens and are thus entitled to make decisions for them.
congratulations!
Lars

Comment on An agressive progressive agenda for the rest of 2010 will guarantee the republicans to still be the party of “NO” in November!!! by admin

Somehow it seems to me there are MILLIONS of Americans thinking along these lines. Wouldn’t it be nice to have our president placating us???? What this country BADLY needs is for the republican party in its present form to become part of the history books! As a bad memory!!!

Good to see a perpetual war advocate neocon like - Axis of Evil - David Frum get his due. Maybe the neocon rats will desert the sinking Republican ship and the Republicans will be reborn into a party that can yet keep us out of deeper bankrupcy. Throwing the money into a questionable health care policy is still better then throwing the money down the rathole of perpetual war to pamper Israel and the radical religious right.

Comment on “The best way to shut Dick Cheney up is to get him talking to a Grand Jury or a Judge about authorizing torture, outing CIA agents, and lying the US into war!” by admin

While I ALMOST totally agree with you - especially the thought that having a thoughtful, measured President is VERY REASSURING - I would just love to see Dick Cheney get some HELP in going away. I believe an appropriate consequence for his actions would allow him to spend 5 or so years at GITMO - well, no - I want it closed down too much for that - maybe spend the time in the Illionois Prison where the “enemy combatants” will be held - and WATERBOARD him until he tells the truth about Valerie Plame!
