Rep. Frank Calls Justice Scalia a 'Homophobe'
The Massachusetts Democrat told a gay online news agency that he hoped the Supreme Court won't ever get to hear a challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act while Justice Scalia is on the bench.
Obama said last night on 60 Minutes that he fundamentally disagreed with VP Cheney. That he couldn't reconcile what had been done to these terorrists with our American values.
Get a clue asshole. Bush and Cheney kept us safe and btw, the last time I checked - these terrorist assholes still had their heads attached to their necks.
This guy has a dangerously naive view that is going to get lots of us killed.
it was a mistake to ever bring these people to Cuba...I have never been comfortable with that...they should be in the ME somewhere and these issues resolved one way or another...this shit needs to end imo
Well now that I am President, it will now become clear to everyone that Guantanamo Bay is filled with truly dangerous people and that our service members are professional, compassionate and civilized men and women.
Now that I am President.
Got that? No change. Same prison. Same policies. But I get to bask in the success.

He's going to be really upset when he learns what we did to our enemies in World War II. We literally killed them. Lots of them. And we put many of them in prison camps, too. Like, way more then we have in Guantanamo now.
We'd better keep poor Obama away from any history books. We don't want him losing sleep at night.
The sad thing is, these guys would turn around and do an attack tomorrow if released. At least a computer gone bad with a virus can be "erased" to start its life over.
I've been home alone with the kids for a week. The weather is cold and blustery. The sky is gray, and I'm feeling blue. I'm tired of cooking and cleaning.

And he so very much needs his beauty sleep, 'cause his job is so very harrrd.
Obama wants to turn these bastids loose in your neighborhood.
Hey bud - don't jump to any conclusions.
I set out a goal. And after the media start showing that Guantanamo is the exact opposite of what they thought it was, the people who worship me will be OK with keeping open a little longer. Like 8 years or so. And they won't worry about the "bad"Guantanamo because I am in charge.
If I actually let these guys go on US soil, it will be like Willy Horton times 100.
So the media is now letting folks know that Guantanamo is a good thing - not a bad one. A few more shows like this and I can check Gitmo off the "Big lies to get me elected" list.
Just watched on one of the videos which showed the librarian they hired that speaks Arabic. The library is well-maintained and stocked with books that would interest the detainees from their different languages and cultures.
He kisses each one of the Korans, and wraps them in white towels when they are distributed so no one else touches them before they get to the inmates.
Will someone tell me why the hell we needed to wait 7 years to learn the truth about this place?

Because the Democrats understand and are more committed to propaganda than the right.

Can I go to Gitmo for a week or two?
If I was unemployed and they took volunteers, I'd go in a heartbeat. A chance to learn about something up-close that's been so skewed politically, change of scene, weather, etc.

I'm just disgusted there is no plan for these guys...are we gonna keep them down there forever?...execute them?...send them to the mid east?...cut them loose in Key West?...we need a solution to this nutty situation
I think a prison in Eastern Europe somewhere would be better. Poland, perhaps? Any place that would treat these guys the way they SHOULD be treated.
Send them to ANWR. The libtards would like it because it's a pristine wonderland and it would show our compassion to send these poor mistreated souls to such a place. And it's a Wildlife refuge which certainly is in keeping with what these scumbags really are.
And oh, by the way. it's the most inhospitable place on the fucking planet - especially if you're used to the heat of the Middle East.

EXACTLY.
Weather you are right or left, one agrees that we need a plan. Of course Obama just halted everything, so we have no idea. If there was any plan a few months ago, there is even less of one now.
He's going to be really upset when he learns what we did to our enemies in World War II. We literally killed them. Lots of them. And we put many of them in prison camps, too. Like, way more then we have in Guantanamo now.

I don't think he'd read it, unless it was by or about him.
It's the first place I read about Sheik Mahmoud, the guy that was killed on 9-10-01. IIRC, it had the photograph of that beautiful Afghan young woman, the one with the startling greenish/bluish eyes. A few years later, they tracked her down. She'd aged quite a bit but, those eyes were still startling.
It's not surprising the left would want to release these fine fellows. They're hardened killers. The left loves releasing from prisons all sorts of similar hardened assholes who will do nothing but repeat their crimes over and over again from rapists to molesters to killers.

Giving these guys Korans is like givng meth addicts meth, only, you know, more dangerous to everyone else.
fine...more incarceration or freedom...let's just get to it
Yeah. Odds are they'll go to a Supermax next. Then to trial. Doing that is a waste of money. The better option would have been to keep them at Gitmo and do whatever they have to do from there. Reshuffling all of the prisoners is going to be a nightmare.

Given the maturity level of our POTUS, expect a wacky reality show starring the GITMO residents.
/sort of
We have released quite a few of them and The Obama ordered a moratorium on all tribunals.
I know that...so what's next?...pissing around don't get it...if BO want's to shut this facility down Americans should DEMAND to know what he has in mind...chicken shit MSM...I hate the MSM with a passion
The guards cannot touch the Koran because- apparently- their hands are too filthy. Female guards are not looked at because the detainees are emotionally retarded. The detainees are fed, clothed and housed. The guards must wear face masks so as not to be met with filth that may be thrown at them.
How many American prisoners were treated so well? I'm sure one could count on one's hands to find the answer.

Yes and no. It depends on the producer. They generally seem to get both sides, but the good thing about their series is they truly take their time shooting and let the cameras and microphones do the talking, rather than the editing.
Yeah. Odds are they'll go to a Supermax next. Then to trial. Doing that is a waste of money. The better option would have been to keep them at Gitmo and do whatever they have to do from there. Reshuffling all of the prisoners is going to be a nightmare.
If anyone's interested, ESPN CLASSIC is doing a very well-produced retrospective on Curt Schilling right now. To be followed by "The Bloody Sock Game".

You're worried about that piddling amount of money when 44 is talking trillions going down the drain? Saving the harvest mouse? Stable fly removal in the MidWest?
I can't load the video. But I do hope it shows how the poor Gitmo detainees suffered horribly in the early years in those open-air cages, exposed to the cruel Cuban winter.
We have released quite a few of them and The Obama ordered a moratorium on all tribunals.
Releasing ones that go on to kill makes Obama look compassionate but weak.
When it happened to Bush, the media painted him out as incompetent. He didn't get any compassion or due process points. Only negatives.
So Obama can actually stop the due process these guys were getting (albeit slow) and win. He keeps them hanging while he "studies" the issue to death and does nothing. No one will call him on it. So Obama is actually depriving these detainees of the due process that Bush was giving them and he is seen as being more compassionate without the risk of any of these guys being released and returning to the battlefield.
All the product of a blind, partisan and unprincipled media.

Go to the Nat geo site. There are two more videos up on there and are all worth the watch.

Perhaps part of the reason is that they're not constrained by pressures to make it "exciting" and to compete with American Idol and Lost.
National Geographic's promotional blurb for this is a little weird:
For the first time, National Geographic exclusively captures day-to-day life in the most famous prison in the world, exploring the ongoing daily struggle between the guard force of dedicated young military personnel and the equally dedicated detainees, many of whom are still in legal limbo after being held years.

And we were culturally insensitive enough to make them play soccer with actual soccer balls for heaven's sake. Knowing full well that in their homeland, they play with the head of a goat. Heartless Americans.

I think they need some roommates. Like Charles Manson, the BTK guy, anyone with cannibalistic tendencies, big gay serial killers, etc.

That is indeed part of it. Nat. Geo is also generally a subscription-based medium. Still, after all these years, their photography and attention to detail is the best.

You're probably being sarcastice, but I'd like to say that I'm not a fan of "prison justice" at all, for terrorist or rapists or whatever. I think prisons should be human, and we as a society should have the spine to administer the appropriate punishment without relying on pschyopaths to do it for us. If these men deserve death, let them have it, quickly and without fanfare. If not, or if we can't be sure, let them be kept with the bare minimum of amenmities and incidental cruelty until such time as we can be reasonably sure they will not take up arms against us.
Poll held among American Jews reveals that Yisrael Beiteinu chairman is not held in high esteem within community, some 60% of whom oppose views he expressed during elections. Some 75% support decreased financial aid to Israel should Jewish state be party to put skids under signing agreement with Palestinians
I absolutely, without any hesitation, promise that 90% ( and I may be under estimating ) have no freak en idea who Lieberman is! And the other 10% think he is the Senator from Connecticut. They can wipe my ass with that poll!
OT Did anyone see what they are doing to the VA vets? This is pretty horrific. Is this what -0- will have happen if they don't use their own insurance?!?!?!?! Talk about literal punishments...
OT- I asked realwest to pass on to you my email address so you and I could discuss the potential for drinks. But after this morning, I'd also like you to have it so you have a friend who understands your feelings today should you ever want a sympathetic ear. If you haven't received that information- give realwest a nudge.

As inept as Hussein Dolt is, I don't quite see him signing off on something like that. I think the whole 'use private insurance for service-related injuries' idea was untenable from the get-go, but he decided to put it out there anyways so that once he abandoned it, he could try and garner support for some of his marginally less bad ideas...

I was there in the late 90s and some of the youth hostels actually had citicizenship applications sitting on the bookshelves. Didn't think too much of it at the time- nice place with generally awesome, gregarious people, but I found the lack of a 2nd Amendemnt and (I think) and oath of alliegence to the Queen a little off-putting. Plus I think the Greens had more pull back then...

Ah, yes. The "These people are monsters because we sent them to prison, not the other way around" philosophy.
Actually, with the awareness that the ongoing unpleasantness // with Islam has brought all of us, the saying 'happy as a pig in shit Saudi Arabia' would be appropriate since that would mean having a long life, untroubled by worries about being butchered.

Gad, he hasn't even started on the military cuts yet. I'm fairly certain he'd be quite pleased to reduce our navy to rusting hulks much like the Russian navy post USSR.
Quiet Muslim-Only Town in N.Y. Founded by Alleged Terrorist
HANCOCK, N.Y. — If you didn't know where to look, you'd probably never find Islamberg, a private Muslim community in the woods of the western Catskills, 150 miles northwest of New York City.
The town, sitting on a quiet dirt road past a gate marked with No Trespassing signs, is home to an estimated 100 residents. There are small houses and other buildings visible from the outside, but it is what can't be seen from beyond the gate that has some watchers worried.
Drastically reduce population? They're talking about cutting it in half. These are neo-Luddites who have drank the Ehrlichian kool-aid. Take the eco-leftist nonsense about COx as a pollutant, the overt desire to control emissions, and you start down a path that doesn't end well for liberty and freedom from tyranny.

It's been there for quite a few years. I sure hope the relevant "authorities" are keeping an eye on them. Is that still legal in Obama's America?
"Gilani has told his followers that "Zionist plotters" plan to rule the world, and he encourates them to leave America's cities and avoid the "decadence of a godless society." Gilani is the man American reporter Daniel Pearl was trying to interview in Pakistan when he was kidnapped and beheaded. The Sheikh was taken into custody and later released by Pakistani authorities; he denies any involvement in Pearl's murder."
And Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins named their kid after the killer. That tells you a lot about them...
You have gotta be kiddng me? I despise both of them but this is beneath despicable. Wouldn't that constitute some manner of child abuse? Like those parents recently in the news that named their kid after Hitler IIRC?
Hitler's more notable but the intent would be the same - to glorify evil.
...That has not dispelled the worries of some watchdogs. Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, says the group is making a concerted public relations effort to present a benign face and hide its violent past.
"I think we need to be very much on guard about every member of these compounds," he said. Though Spencer admits there is nothing inherently wrong with living in isolation, he stressed that "they're not at all open to visitors, they're not at all open to scrutiny and there's an abundance of evidence of sinister goings-on."
Spencer offered no evidence to back his misgivings, but suggested political correctness may be hampering investigations. He says the group's connection to Sheikh Gilani is reason enough to be concerned that they're planning for "something on a larger scale and longer term," to "further the causes of the global Islamic Jihad", something MOA has repeatedly denied and scoffed at in the past...
On Obama and H1B visas,
he and his met with the ones from India , they advised the ones of India that there would be no reduction in the high tech H1B visa's, "unless unemployment gets much higher".
that says to this Apache, that 8% and 10% unemployment of Americans is just fine with this no good commie loon.
Actually, would it be wrong for me to wish for a loved one of Sarandon or Robbins to be violently murdered and then maybe I can name a cat or dog after the killer?
/Yes- it would be. Besides...I wouldn't anything bad to happen to Sarandon's conservative mom...

Yeah, right. People trading pirated software on the interwebs used to use a nearly identical disclaimer attached to their files. I supposed they stopped using it when they found their butts in jail and found out such disclaimers don't mean shit in the real world.

Yeah, but you could name other things after them. There's a sewage treatment plant on my way to work that I'm going to start calling the Robbins Sarandon Memorial Waterworks...
On the morning of July 18, 1981, just six weeks after getting out of prison, Jack Abbott went to a small cafe called the Binibon in Manhattan. He argued with 22-year-old Richard Adan, son-in-law of the restaurant's owner. Adan, a budding actor and playwright, told him that the restroom was for staff use only. The short-tempered Abbott stabbed Adan in the chest, killing him.
The very next day, unaware of Abbott's crime, the New York Times ran a positive review of In the Belly of the Beast.
True- but its kind of meaningless to report his misgivings then, imo. It's as if he's provided nothing more than filler. Actually- that notion gives me a chuckle.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 23, 2009 (Reuters) — President Barack Obama moved to fill three of the four most senior Treasury Department positions on Monday, including announcing his intent to nominate former department counsel Neal Wolin as deputy Treasury secretary.

Nope, they have a son Jack Henry. Sarandon was one of the moonbats trying to get Abbott out of prison.
The President has named Neal Wolin to be Deputy Counsel to the President for Economic Policy and Deputy Assistant to the President. Mr. Wolin most recently served as the President and Chief Operating Officer for Property and Casualty operations of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. Prior to that, Mr. Wolin worked as Executive Vice President and General Counsel to the Hartford Financial Services Group.
The Hartford Financial Services Group, grappling with financial losses and ratings downgrades that can affect sales, is reportedly negotiating a possible sale of its life insurance and annuity operations to a major Canadian company.
The Hartford is currently in talks with Toronto-based Sun Life Financial Inc. and had separate discussions with MetLife Inc. that ended last month, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday, citing three unnamed sources.

A quick memory ... My old metal shop teacher in high school used to say:
"It's not mine, it must be urine"
We'd snicker. He was the best teacher I had in school. He was never afraid to give us life advice and talk about topics that other adults wouldn't broach with students.
Abbott was in a restaurant, had some argument with the waiter--a young dancer/actor, if I recall (which does not necessarily mean "gay" in NY; I think he had a girlfriend)--about what was available on the menu, or whether he could get a substitution. Something, in other words, utterly trivial--but to Abbott, who had spent most of his adult life in prison, this meant disrespect, a challenge to his manhood, whatever, and he insisted that they take it outside.
At which point, he outs with the shiv and stabs the kid, who bled out on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant.
BTW, that's a horrific story you told.
Why is it that the people who are the most indignant about "disrespect" are the ones who least deserve to be respected?
By the way, does anybody have a pun for tonsil? My daughter's getting hers out on Friday, and it might be fun to have some puns around--she's going to be so miserable she could use a laugh.

People who care about "respect" and their "street cred" do so because they have nothing else. Those things are the base-line, the zero point of human development -- essentially, the things you have left when any form of civilization is beyond your reach.

I don't think deep throat would be appropriate. Although an itchy throad can always be scratched.

I regret I can only ding once-and you have my full abdominal respect-I am now whizzing away with your Yellow stream of consciousness...on tha Yalu river, as documented by I.P.Daley.

Just let her watch TV while she recuperates. Preferably Fox News. You know, Pharynx and balanced.

I'm shocked and appalled by the sophomoroic potty humor here. Lizards used to come here to discuss important world issues. Now we've sunk to poop jokes.
We need to get this discussion back to a higher level. We need a Boob thread.

You're worried about that piddling amount of money when 44 is talking trillions going down the drain? Saving the harvest mouse? Stable fly removal in the MidWest?
As a fiscal conservative I believe that any way the Federal government can save money should be taken under consideration.
The "stimulus" legislation was one of the largest pieces of pork to come out of DC in American history. That being said it should be noted that there was no inclusion of spending for harvest mouse protection. This was covered in an article by the Mercury News which explains the actual language of the bill which was misunderstood:
Then where did the $30 million figure come from, if it's not in the bill? It turns out that $30 million is the total amount that the California Coastal Conservancy, a state agency, recommended more than a month ago to numerous federal agencies, looking for lists of "shovel ready" projects as part of the stimulus bill planning.
The work also would provide increased flood protection to homes and businesses around San Francisco Bay, he said. In 2003, the Bush administration endorsed and helped fund the largest of the projects, the purchase of former Cargill salt ponds for wetlands restoration.
Stable fly control is an earmark under the Omnibus Spending Bill. This was added by Senator Ben Nelson (D - Nebraska) $866,000 -- Stable Fly Control. Stable fly control is a concern to livestock ranchers. In addition to Nelson, other Nebraska earmarks to this bill were initiated by Senator Chuck Hagel (R - Nebraska) and Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R - Nebraska) and can be seen here. The top three earmarks contained in the Omnibus bill for Nebraska are as follows:
$2,775,000 - Western Sarpy County and Clear Creek. Nelson (D), Hagel (R), Fortenberry (R) $1,903,000 - Bioenergy Demonstration Project. Nelson (D), Hagel (R), Fortenberry (R) $1,658,000 - Harlan County Lake. Nelson (D), Hagel (R)

Tits unlikely-we get real crotch-etty when anyone attacks our potty party-but we might still hug you to our bosom...
March 24, 2009 Accused Qaeda Sleeper Agent in Court
By JOHN SCHWARTZ
PEORIA, Ill. — Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri, accused by the government of being a sleeper agent for Al Qaeda and held as an enemy combatant for almost six years, made his first appearance Monday afternoon in the courtroom where he will be tried later this year on charges of providing aid to terrorists. He entered a plea of not guilty...
Spectators in the courtroom were primed for what the Peoria Journal-Star called highest-profile trial in the city since the murder case of Richard Speck in the 1960s. The long wooden benches in the high-ceilinged courtroom was nearly filled, and not just with representatives of the press.
Erin McCarthy, a resident of nearby Pekin, was there with her 22-year-old daughter Karen, who was home for spring break from Tulane Law School. Karen McCarthy had studied the al-Marri case in her Constitutional Law class, her mother said, and “she saw on the local news that the hearing was happening here, and she said, ‘let’s go!’ ”
Mr. Marri, a diminutive man wearing a white polo shirt and slacks, a white kufi cap and leg shackles, seemed pleased, after years in solitary confinement, to be around so many people. He turned in his chair and caught the eye of Cheryl Savage, the wife of one of a member of his legal team, Andrew Savage, and smiled delightedly at her...
His answers to the judge were brief. When asked his age, Mr. Marri said, “43, I think.” When the judge said that he had been told that Mr. Marri’s English was excellent, Mr. Marri responded, “good enough.”
For Mr. Marri, it was a long road back to Peoria, where his tangled legal case began. A native of Qatar, Mr. Marri was arrested in Peoria in December 2001, having moved here with his wife and five children to attend Bradley University. The initial arrest concerned accusations of financial fraud and other charges, but government attorneys would later argue that Mr. Marri was a “sleeper agent” for Qaeda who had met with Osama Bin Laden and pledged to come to the United States as part of a broader attack plan to follow 9/11. He arrived in this country on Sept. 10, 2001...
In June 2007, a divided three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit found that Mr. Marri, as a civilian, could not be detained by the military. That ruling was overturned by the full court, though a separate decision gave Mr. Marri another chance to fight the detention.
In December, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, and scheduled oral arguments for April. In February, as the Supreme Court hearing approached, President Obama ordered Mr. Marri’s transfer from the military back to the Department of Justice — and of the case back to Peoria, where Mr. Marri was indicted on two counts related to providing material support and resources to a terrorist organization...
After the hearing, Mr. Savage said that he had not yet seen the evidence that the government has amassed against Mr. Marri, but said his client has shown no signs of anti-American sentiment or bitterness in the five years he has known him.
“What we see is not what they tell us he was like,” he said.
Lee Smith, one of Mr. Marri’s attorneys in Peoria, said after the hearing that his client is “certainly glad to be back here — and back in the justice system.”
How can I forget the worst of all, forced to use government provided health care!
Lee Coller -
They are SO LUCKY that GWB was President when they were captured. Were I President of the US at the time - NOT SO MUCH - Matzot and Water are certainly Halal. Beyond that ...
JONATHON PORRITT, one of Gordon Brown’s leading green advisers, is to warn that Britain must drastically reduce its population if it is to build a sustainable society.
I notice that the women looked very submissive and tentative in the video. There was no command presence. The terrorists will smell that weakness a mile away and take advantage of it. And why does everyone look so concerned over the poor terrorists having been in custody for years, when they would murder innocents in a heartbeat if let out? The US guards talk about hoping to be treated nicely if they were in turn prisoners somewhere, but in fact their muslim captors would simply cut their heads off. In no way do I advocate abusing the prisoners, but let's be realistic here...
Obama said last night on 60 Minutes that he fundamentally disagreed with VP Cheney. That he couldn't reconcile what had been done to these terorrists with our American values.
Get a clue asshole. Bush and Cheney kept us safe and btw, the last time I checked - these terrorist assholes still had their heads attached to their necks.
This guy has a dangerously naive view that is going to get lots of us killed.
We can only pray the great and powerful Oz...I mean, teleprompter will channel Obama wisely what to say and do in all things. One president's terrorist is another president's bailout recipient. 'Big picture' is not within Mr. T's memory, grasp, vocabulary or pay grade.
I like that "ghazul basah," "Keep your eyes down there's women coming." The whole idea is that men are basically rapists so women need to cover up. What an admission and what a way to go through life. Some of you will roll your eyes at this, but there is something to be said for having a culture where the Mother of God is venerated. It makes you look at women differently, and for the most part it obviates the need for the veil.
