Here is what my time here has been for me.

“It was like I was empty. Well, I’m not empty anymore. That’s what’s important, to feel useful in this old world, to hit a lick against what’s wrong for what’s right even though you get walloped for saying that word. Now I may sound like a Bible beater yelling up a revival at a river crossing camp meeting, but that don’t change the truth none. There’s right and there’s wrong. You got to do one or the other. You do the one and you’re living. You do the other and you may be walking around, but you’re dead as a beaver hat.”

My internet access expires soon. I didn’t want to just disappear in the middle of a fight so I am bowing out now.

I have enjoyed my time here and I hope I have got a lick in for the good.

I am younger than most of you. I hope you will be mindful of what some have seen as my pessimism. It is real and learned. Take that to heart and consider it. This nations future depends on it.

I have the support of my family and a small reserve to try and find a way. We will see. Maybe I’ll be back again someday.

Someone is living in alternate realities…

Why, should they placed in a position, with a title, that allows them to perpetuate their incompetence and command a big$$$salary, at the same time.

Such as the deposed Director of the National Security Agency.

All this MOFO knew, was that he had a nametag on his door. And he got a BIG PAYCHECK.

Dean says the signing statements attempt to act as a line item veto, which was found to be unconstitutional.

Rather than being an example of Bush’s disdain for other governmental bodies, the arrogant jerk may have painted himself into a corner.

Keep making those signing statements George.

Why is it that when black people wear shirts with slogans that read “Black Pride” and “Black Power” that isn’t considered racist by the media, but when white people wear shirts with slogans that read “White Pride” and White Power” it’s immediately condemned by the media as being racist, intolerant, and ignorant and every crack-pot psychiatrist tells such people they have a problem????

Why do you hate the constitution? It is a document that spells out how all people are equal (even a delusional president) under the law.

Equality and civil rights are those type of things conservatives hate. Fleet, you are demonstrating what you are all about by defending Bush’s obscene and constitutionally pohibited power grab.

*Shaking my head*

Fleet, please give away your 4th ammendment right. I’ll keep mine, thanks.

Only by a very SMALL amount — and that creates an additional reason to reduce the much larger forcing from human-added GHG’s (which you IGNORE).

Study the graph, compare impact of human GHG’s to solar.http://www.ipcc.ch/present/graphics/2001syr/large/06.01.jpg

Simply put: the sun is getting hotter.

Perhaps you’ll explain how Bush and other republicans have caused that.

Actually, they’re saying there’s a 6 out of 10 chance that an unusual, record event will occur again, or that record will even be exceeded.

If you think that’s a “non-statement”, well, whatever.

I am not aware of his signing statements having any meaning in terms of how laws are enforced, etc.

Even if they are only symbolic, they are troubling that he thinks it necessary to tell himself/others that laws scripted by duly elected officials have no meaning in regard to what he wants to do.

In other words, I personally think that his signing statements amount to a constitutional crisis whether he acts on his delusions or not.

He cares not one bit about the American people’s security, he’s power hungry nut.

“And sadly, most of the questions about signing statements that I raised in a Nieman Watchdog essay last June still remain unaddressed. Foremost among them: Are these signing statements just a bunch of ideological bluster from overenthusiastic White House lawyers — or are they actually emboldening administration officials to flout the laws passed by Congress? If the latter, Bush’s unprecedented use of these statements constitutes a genuine Constitutional crisis.”
