Commentary on the News Hour last night indicated that since the Congress is charged with regulation of the armed forces, Bush usurped that power by trying to dictate how prisoners would be treated. Ooops. The legal experts they had said that most of the documents released by the White House dealt with how to twist the law so as to avoid being charged with felonies. Disgusting. Bush is the worst president -ever- and he has to go. Walt |

They demonstrate either bad luck, or if garnered in groups, a level of combat incompetence. I'd call them good luck myself, but then my (limited) experience was infantry where *we* were the targets. (This isn't meant to denigrate groups like armour and aviation: just because the enemy is targeting your platform rather than you personally; doesn't make you safer, because the overmatch in weapons involved and for aircraft the problem of a long fall to follow, tends to produce much more an "escaped unhurt / killed with no chute" dichotomy) I've got an SSM and five DFC's, but no PH. I'd rather win than lose. I'd rather America prevail than the Islamic fundamentalists. I'd rather retain national sovereignty than subject us to the whims of the UN. I'd rather carry my own weapon and defend myself. I'd rather individual responsibility than a welfare state. I'd rather keep my earnings and make my own spending choices. I'd like higher standards rather than affirmative action. Any questions? Yes, but they're quibbles rather than arguments. I'd argue details of many of those statements while agreeing with them overall. -- He thinks too much: such men are dangerous. Julius Caesar I:2 Paul J. Adam MainBoxatjrwlynch[dot]demon{dot}co(.)uk |

writes The good news is most of you radical assholes, being anti-RKBA, will roll up pretty quickly. Am I a "radical asshole"? I'm a "gun nut" by UK standards. Steve, just to clarify, are you advocating the deliberate murder of anyone who disagrees with your opinion? I'd definitely think that the Founding Fathers didn't envisage an Argentinean-style "dirty war" against their own people when they drafted the Constitution. -- He thinks too much: such men are dangerous.

1) I am most certainly not calling names (Comrade Art is an appropriate
appellation for him; as a Leninite, he should not be ashamed to be what he is) 2) As far as "and such" if you let me know exactly what "and such" is, I'll respond 3) The value of my argument should stand alone; oh sorry, I forgot- the value of a position in this forum is based entirely on pedigree. O.k., I enlisted in 1978 and am just now cashing it in. I have been in the newsgroup since 1990 and you could google me up quickly enough. 4) My constructive comment had to do with Art's content-free reply. Are you attempting to now counter-argue that I was unfair- do you want to claim that Comrade Art's one liner about "Bush destroyintg the Constitution" actually had some value? If so, have at it. If not, why waste the bandwidth. Steve Swartz "B2431" wrote in message ... From: "Leslie Swartz" So we had to wade through all of that for that little gem, Comrade Art? Do a little reading, sport. Start with any report on Waco if you want to talk about civil liberties under administration n vs. n-1. Steve Swartz OK, steve, I see you calling names and such. Do you have anything constructive to offer? What have YOU done for your country? Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |

Scott:
Sorry for calling you "Dude" (if indeed you took offense). However, to assume that wealth in the hands of the wealthy is static is ludicrous. The assumption that anyone but a liberal would just sit on $900,000 is very "Dude-Like." The $900,000 would be invested- creating additional value for the economy. The wealthy didn't get wealthy by ascribing to socialist nostrums. Unless they inherited it; like most wealthy liberal socialists (but I repeat myself- three times!).

Uhm easy "dude". If I'm a millionaire and decide to donate 10k to ten people and keep the rest in my bank account. To your typical democrat (for some reason it looked odd without an "e" on the end) that's not fair. |
