Before you use up too many more pixels telling us how bright you are, you might want to learn how to use a "?" at the end of a sentence that poses a question.

Truly intelligent people generally have better things to do then tell total stranger how smart they are. Apparently you do not.

- Look at what the radical/fundamentalist Muslims claim is Islam. Compare to the writings of the Koran.

- Look at what the radical left/right says is constitutional or not. Compare to the constitution.

Same type of corruption.
Just like Stalin and Hitler were two sides of the same coin.

I consider myself Libertarian.

As to my former profession, read my previous posts and think literally vice trying to interpret it. Precision in speech was part of my training in-order to reduce the GIGO factor.

If I were to interpret your "fascist" reaction, like you have with my statements, I would have to note that you have all the signs of a guilty conscience.

Do not assume... Open your mind, research and find out. And always check your assumptions and work. The ID and your preconceptions will always tell you that you are right, even when you are not. Smart people are always doublechecking their facts and assumptions and avoid jumping to conclusions.

Power hungry politicians of all colors, creeds, and beliefs have twisted every document, belief or philosophy ever created in their pursuit of power.

"Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Democrat, Republican, or whatever. Our elected officials and those they appoint are in power.

That is why I believe in term limits.

I also consider priests and press to be politicians in disguise. And lawyers a form of parasite.

If you want to change the constitution, get it amended. The Supreme Court is the wrong venue.

P.S.
Read the portion of the constitution on Judicial powers.
It is an imperfect system.

You might want to compare 2000 to the Jefferson/Burr mess in the early days...

By the way, your little comment about the Koran is pretty cute. So I guess the implication is that if someone disagrees with your politics, they are a possible enemy sympathiser, or somehow not patriotic. What do you do for a living, teach fascism 101?

I missed the part in the constitution about it being cool for Harris to put in the fix to deliver FL to Bush.

I also think way too many liberals and press members are stuck in Vietnam, and desire for this to be just like Vietnam, as much for the "controversy" as for anything else.

This entire Iraq operation is starting to look like Vietnam all over again when all the mal-contents, hippies, yippies, flower children and drug user was out marching and causing great harm to our troops, The one thing no one mentions is the number of killed and wounded caused by those who demonstrated against the war.

It is truly a shame that we still have an element amoung us that is doing everything possible to bring the entire USA to its knees.

The problem is that the President is not directly elected. We vote for representatives to the electoral college and they are not all required to split their vote on percentage lines or even vote as the population they represented voted.

Put that together with a low percentage of US population that bothers to vote and you will have problems. (Iraqi vote had a larger turnout percentage than ours.)

US Presidents elected by a minority of the vote eligible citizens in not a new thing.

If you want to fix it then push for an amendment to the constitution requiring direct nationwide popular vote for president.

While you are at it you might sue both Democrat and Republican Parties for their unconstitutional primary system.

By the way, have you read the constitution. It is a very short document that has much ascribed to it (by radical of all flavors) that is not there. Just like the Koran.

As for the press, I have never seen them get a story right. And I am a Retired USN Intel Spec (22 years). I think I need to go back to ignoring their BS. They get my Irish up.

I sent this to CNN/Fox:

Excuse me, but did you have some evidence that it wasn't the largest air assault. The fact that the press is so clueless on military matters that they can't distinguish between an air strike and an air assault is somehow the fault of the military.

I think it highlights the "big sham" on MSM reporting in Iraq more than anything else.
