Just as he has ignored the advice of other Generals who have had the courage to respectfully point out how terribly wrong he is in respect of the Iraq War and the safety of the US military he is sworn to protect.

And dude- the President of the United States of America is not sworn to protect the military. The military is sworn to protect us.

It's sad to say, but lefties would need a major terrorist attack in their town every week to be jarred awake and maintain a sense of urgency. They don't understand the global threads of jihad, even though they pretend to be globally aware. They don't understand that non-physically violent (now) Islamists in the US, through organizations like CAIR and ISNA, and the MSA on university and college campuses, are slowly hammering away at the liberal values that allow leftists to say what they want and do what they want without being arrested and persecuted. They don't understand that the daily acts of terrorism in other countries are part of the whole, and that each successful attack elsewhere brings more attacks here closer to home, as the ties between those jihadis and our own Islamists in the West are so close and as the jihadis get pumped up and bolder with each success.

Leftists are hopeless. The best of them believe in some way that "All you need is love." The worst of them simply hate the West - and themselves - so much, that they would like to see it all destroyed. What do they need to wake up? Their own self-absorbed selves in immediate and constant danger? What they don't realize is that even if a bomb is not going off next to their home, they are in danger. What they don't realize is that their apologies and excuses and agitation helps to create the conditions that put their lives - or at least their liberal lifestyles - in danger in the long run. Poor misguided souls. They are the aiders and abetters and facilitators of the jihadis.

HuffPo Calls For Military Coup In USA

[Link: www.captainsquartersblog.com...]

The Huffington Post published a plea to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs today to arrest George Bush for "conduct unbecoming" -- essentially, a military coup against the elected government of the United States. Martin Lewis claims that the military can arrest a President while not conducting a coup d'etat by focusing only on his role as Commander in Chief of the military:

General Pace - you have the power to fulfill your responsibility to protect the troops under your command. Indeed you have an obligation to do so.

You can relieve the President of his command.

Not of his Presidency. But of his military role as Commander-In-Chief. ...
In addition to relieving him of his command as Commander-In-Chief, you also have authority to place the President under MILITARY arrest.

Lewis quotes extensively from the Uniform Code of Military Justice, but clearly his scholarship does not extend to the Constitution. The command of the armed forces follows from the president's election to office, and cannot be separated from the office itself. Bush isn't C-in-C because he got appointed to that position, but because the American electorate voted him into that role. In other words, the military cannot arrest the C-in-C but leave the President in power, and to argue otherwise is to demonstrate complete ignorance.

Secondly, the President does not serve at the pleasure of the Joint Chiefs -- and indeed, the military is subservient to the civilian command structure. They do not have arrest authority over the President -- nor over anyone else in the US other than military personnel, as the Posse Comitatus Act stipulates. Civilian oversight keeps the military from seizing power and is a long and vital tradition in this nation. It's what keeps us from becoming a banana republic, run by military strongmen.

Lewis wants to turn America into just that kind of nation. His Bush-hatred runs so deep that he would willingly see the military take control over the federal government just to get rid of him. The Left likes to talk about supposed fascism among conservatives, but the Huffington Post is literally calling for a military coup to reverse an election, not only an un-Constitutional act but also the kind of authoritarian rule they supposedly despise.

Unbelievable. (via Memeorandum)

Posted by Ed Morrissey on August 25, 2007

Sifting through the comments, and they must be censoring them, I see Lewis is trying to rebut most of them.

He's an imbecile.

Ahhh - The Master is at work.

In an attempt to catch up, lemme run this around the corner from one street back...

Somebody on the Left just realized that without guns and training, they don't have a snowballs chance in hell of overthrowing the US. They must really be desperate if they think the US Army is gonna help them.

I'm not a legal eagle either, but I think this letter may very well be covered under at least one of the Treason Acts, maybe the 1917 Espionage Act, or the Sedition Act of 1918.

"...whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."

#2 JWM You mentioned something in the last thread on this topic that I feel the need to correct...

The US military is not there to protect "us." That's just a pleasant by-product of what the US military Oath actually says.

I'm all for a military coup. Unfortunately for the moronic fucking dolts who read the HuffPo, any coup by the US military would install a government far to the right of George W Bush, one that would probably reinstate the draft and kick major ass on half a dozen or more terrorist-enabling countries.

And it just might put people who read the HuffPo into camps.

So yes, bring on the coup...dumbass.

Notice how craftily this was written. The writer denies, many times, any thought of treason, sedition, etc., rather the claim is that the Pres should be removed for conduct unbecoming an officer, though as CinC he is not an officer.
Their intent is obvious, but they're covering their tracks, wrapping themselves in the flag.
In any other country, in wartime, these bastards would be shot. I'll volunteer for the firing party.

re: #26 WimbledonWomble

Yeah, they'd feel even more urgency to get rid of Bushitler who's behind it all.

Some people are simply beyond reason.

If there are going to be any military coups, I hope it's to clean up Congress. They should start with the lefties, then work their way down through the RINOs. The place is lousy with both of them.

OT- Anti-Sactuary City Rally in Long Beach, CA

Protest the ILLEGAL Sanctuary aiding and abetting Liliana, an illegal alien who posed as an American by using FAKE I.D.!

When: Sunday, September 16th
Time: 10am until 1pm
Place: St. Luke's Episcopal Church [Link: www.stlukeslb.org...]
Address: 525 E. 7th Street, Long Beach, CA 90813
Contact Info for St. Luke's: [Link: www.stlukeslb.org...]

Also please note that while this church harbors an illegal alien inside, American homeless sleep in the bushes outside their church! (Our own California Poppy has photos.)

Further keep in mind this church has bars around their church and locks! When Watchdog, JeanfromFilmore, a friend, and I presented one of the pastors with an envelope filled with scripture and e-mails, we were told that we were NOT ALLOWED in their church!

All activists are called to protest with us on Sept. 16th. The illegal supporters are ANGRY that Elvira was deported. Expect a mass counter protest by the illegal supporters who think it is ok to be break laws.
I am asking every one of you to help and promote this protest. Email it everywhere. Post it on blogs. Send it out to your lists several times. Get on the phone and convince other activists that it is worth coming to. Make sure to bring friends and family to the event. We have a bit more than three weeks to do it. Lets get rollin !

This has been demonstrated time and again by these people going back to the 60s. By '72 I was firmly convinced these individuals hated the USA and the West that much. The culmination for me came when the Methodist pastor in our little church got up in the pulpit one Sunday and started off by condemning my father, in absentia as he was in Nam, for being in Vietnam. She then went on to state the USA needed to be burned to the ground and started afresh. I walked out and have never returned to a Methodist service.
I have seen and heard this same sentiment expressed ever since from this same crowd.

There is a lot of truth to that statement. Consider the actions and words of Sean Penn (was it?) who was visiting Chevez on the day he declared himself President for Life. Positively gushing. The leftists in this country adore Chevez and can find no wrong with him, indeed they want his policies emulated here.

So, what is the difference between their admiration for Chevez and the desires of this Lewis individual?

So Benedict Arnold is the new moonbat hero.

That's pathetic, and it just shows the "compassion" at the heart of many of these liberals.

What happened to the days when the left was on the side of labor and the average man? Now they seem on the side of every half-baked elitist with crazy ideas. Whites are out, unless they hate themselves. Protecting American jobs is not important. Open borders are good. Islamists are good. It's all about diversity and not making any judgements, and not happing working people at all, despite the fact that they still try to talk the talk. Harry Truman would never have held these beliefs and would absolutely despise Hillary and Obama and the rest.

It all started with JFK, the elitism and multiculturalism that has come to characterize Dems.

Mondale was the last old-style democrat, but he had all of the bad traits and none of the good, and he was facing Reagan. No chance.

The Dem party is lost. It might win this election, just because the Iraq war is unpopular, but they have nothing else to commend themselves. They have no positive positions. They just exploit anger.

Am I missing something here? Maybe I'm just confused but wasn't General Pace in essence FIRED a couple of months ago? Does he actually leave his post later?

Maybe I have that wrong but it seemed to me that General Pace refused to resign his post and forced his own firing and so I'm wondering why this guy is writing a letter to Pace.

Were there actually any FEMALE Methodist pastors during the Vietnam era? I certainly never heard of any. Those were still the days when women had to hand over their husband's name, employer and so forth to get a job at all. When you lost your credit the day you got married. When you could not buy birth control in many states unless you were married. When women were not accepted at the CIA (as in Culinary Institute) - or Harvard.

Sounds like an absolute crock to me.

re: #86 mama winger

I'm going to be very busy this winter fixing up my house for sale in the spring.
I'm exploring buying a few acres and building a Breezeway House. But figuring out the exact cost is getting complicated.

I'll try to phrase this in such a way so as to not reveal too much.

In the high-end literary world, getting a gig to write for Huffington Post is considered a hugely prestigious boost to your career. If you're fishing for a book contract, you'll be offered X amount if you're just a regular person; but if you've gotten something published in the Huffington Post, you'll be offered X + X + X amount. It's considered a "platform" and that Huffpo writers all have a "fanbase" and built-in name recognition.

Which is why everyone clamors to write for them, even though Huffpo pays nothing, and then resells your writing to the news syndicates for a profit.

Such a scam.

Anyway, all the craziness that get published on Huffpo every day in no way has diminished its stature in the writerly world. Unbelievable.

Take it from me. Personal experience.

re: #90 Racer X

OK, it works like this:

Impeach Bush - Cheney becomes pres and appoints Rove as VP.

It doesn't work that way. Cheney does not get to choose his VP.

If they so desire, and were already capable of impeaching Bush (unlikely, but for the sake of argument), Congress could refuse to confirm someone for the position long enough to kick off Cheney's impeachment and allow the job to fall onto Pelosi (opening up her seat in Congress for Sheehan).

The writer of this brilliant legal analysis should be investigated for the purpose of having the accreditation of whatever University, College, High School, Reform School, or Mental Institution he attended pulled. If you have no idea how your own government is organized, how to express a clear idea in writing, or use a spell checker, you should still be in elementary school.
Maybe the writer is. It would explain his ideas.

There's a great piece in the Weekly Standard by Noemie Emery about the paranoia of the Left.

Naomi Wolf--last heard from in 2000 advising Al Gore to dress in earth tones--is looking back to a real past in Europe, and seeing troubling parallels. In 4,600 overwrought words, she explained to the readers of the Guardian that there are ten steps to "Fascist America" and Bush is taking them all. He has whipped up a menace (the war on terror); created "a prison system outside the rule of law" (Guantánamo, to which public dissidents, including "clergy and journalists" will be sent "soon enough"); developed "a thug caste . . . groups of scary young men out to terrorize citizens" (young Republican staffers who supposedly "menaced poll workers" during the 2000 recount in Florida); set up an "internal surveillance system" (NSA scanning for phone calls to and from terrorists). An airtight case, this, and leading to just one conclusion: "Beneath our very noses, George Bush and his administration are using time-tested tactics to close down an open society. It is time for us to be willing to think the unthinkable . . . that it can happen here."
Well, this explains many things. It explains why poor Cindy Sheehan is now sitting in prison; why Bush critics like CIA retiree Valerie Plame have been ostracized by the corporate media and are wasting away in anonymity; why no critic of Bush can get a hearing, why no book complaining about him can ever get published, and why our multiplexes are filled with one pro-Bush propaganda movie after another, glorifying the Iraq war and rallying the nation behind its leader.

Meanwhile, back on planet Earth, Cindy Sheehan is running for Congress; Valerie Plame is rich and famous; the young Republican "thugs" made all of one appearance seven years ago--chanting "Let us in!" when Miami-Dade County vote counters planned to move to a small inner room with no observers present; and press censorship is now so far-reaching that you can't even expose a legal, effective, and top-secret plan to trace terrorists without getting a Pulitzer Prize.

The Horror! The Horror!

Lewis wants to turn America into just that kind of nation..."

There is a lot of truth to that statement. Consider the actions and words of Sean Penn (was it?) who was visiting Chevez on the day he declared himself President for Life. Positively gushing. The leftists in this country adore Chevez and can find no wrong with him, indeed they want his policies emulated here.

So, what is the difference between their admiration for Chevez and the desires of this Lewis individual?

Varying degrees of hatred for Bush specifically and the American way of life in general.

Maryland may block Ahmadis from gatherings

WALKERSVILLE: The rural town of Walkersville is considering a zoning ordinance that could block plans for annual gatherings by thousands of members of the persecuted Ahmadiyya Muslim sect.

The proposal, aired at a town meeting on Wednesday, would prohibit places of worship, educational facilities and private clubs on land zoned for agricultural use.

Syed Ahmad, who is managing Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA’s pending purchase of 224 acres (90.65 hectares) of Walkersville farmland, said on Friday the group will not fight to go where it is not wanted. ap

This is kind of a shame, the Ahmadi sect is persecuted by other muslims, and they are one of the groups that might help reform the religion[warning from Wiki:]

Distinct Ahmadi beliefs
Although the central values of Islam (prayer, charity, fasting, etc.) are shared by mainstream and Ahmadi Muslims, distinct Ahmadi beliefs include the following:

That the Qur'an has no contradictions (or abrogations), and has precedence over the Hadith or traditions; i.e., that one verse of the Qur'an does not cancel another and that no Hadith can contradict a verse of the Qur'an. Hadith that appear to contradict the Qu'ran are not accepted by Ahmadi Muslims.[28]
That Jesus, contrary to mainstream Islamic belief, was crucified and survived the four hours on the cross. He was later revived from a swoon in the tomb.[29] Ahmadis believe that Jesus died in Kashmir of old age whilst seeking the Lost Tribes of Israel.[30] Jesus' remains are believed to be entombed in Kashmir under the name Yuz Asaf. Ahmadis believe that Jesus foretold the coming of Muhammad after him, which Christians have misinterpreted.[31]
That Jihad can only be used to protect against extreme religious persecution, and that Muslims have used Jihad as a tool for political opportunism.[32]
That the "Messiah" and the "Imam Mahdi" are the same person, and that Islam will defeat the Anti-Christ or Dajjal in a period similar to the period of time it took for nascent Christianity to rise (300 years).
The two Ahmadiyya groups have varying beliefs regarding the finality of the Prophethood of Muhammad. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community believes that Muhammad brought prophethood to perfection and was the last law-bearing prophet. New prophets can come but they must be subordinate to Muhammad and cannot exceed him in excellence nor alter his teaching or bring any new law or religion.[33] The Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement believes that Muhammad is the last of the prophets and no prophet, new or old, can come after him.[34]

re: #74 WimbledonWomble

The left has become the enemy of working people. it is now a pure Special Interest and racial play. The average worker misses the point and his union leaders are complicit.

We're between a rock and hard place. The Dems see the world as a post-nation global craptopia dominated by a third world love affair, and their play is to get enough poor people into the country voting for them that they gain power. For their own part, many Repubs, including W., want to see more cheap third-world labor here to subsidize business. So you see unholy alliances for immigration reform, like Ted Kennedy and W. coming together. Both parties are giving the finger to the average Joe or Jane, who contributes to society, works hard but is not poor or rich. They both hate the middle class, even though the prosperity of the US has always been driven by middle class consumerism and upward mobility.

What we need is an American Commonsense Party. Short of that, I am voting for Repubs who buck the trend or have some backbone and are not just shills for diversity/identity interest groups or free-ride big business.

FDR came on the scene when capitalism was about to collapse. He saved it. In the process, some excesses were created that were expanded later, especially with Johnson.

We need someone now who can save us from the nihilistic leftists on the one hand and the short-term profit business types on the other. We need commonsense capitalism, not open borders capitalism.

re: #26 WimbledonWomble

It's sad to say, but lefties would need a major terrorist attack in their town every week to be jarred awake and maintain a sense of urgency. They don't understand the global threads of jihad, even though they pretend to be globally aware. They don't understand that non-physically violent (now) Islamists in the US, through organizations like CAIR and ISNA, and the MSA on university and college campuses, are slowly hammering away at the liberal values that allow leftists to say what they want and do what they want without being arrested and persecuted. They don't understand that the daily acts of terrorism in other countries are part of the whole, and that each successful attack elsewhere brings more attacks here closer to home, as the ties between those jihadis and our own Islamists in the West are so close and as the jihadis get pumped up and bolder with each success.

Leftists are hopeless. The best of them believe in some way that "All you need is love." The worst of them simply hate the West - and themselves - so much, that they would like to see it all destroyed. What do they need to wake up? Their own self-absorbed selves in immediate and constant danger? What they don't realize is that even if a bomb is not going off next to their home, they are in danger. What they don't realize is that their apologies and excuses and agitation helps to create the conditions that put their lives - or at least their liberal lifestyles - in danger in the long run. Poor misguided souls. They are the aiders and abetters and facilitators of the jihadis.

Islamabad Police Blotter (warning: goat pined for...):

A man was stabbed to death on the roof of his house and a woman committed self-immolation after a dispute with her husband on Thursday. Ishfaq Younus, 24, a resident of 66 quarters, Sector G-7/2, was sleeping on the roof of his house when an unidentified person attacked him with a knife and escaped. Hearing Younus’ screams, his parents rushed to his help and found him excessively bleeding. He was taken to the hospital where doctors pronounced him dead. The Aabpara police have registered a case and started investigation.

Sajida Bibi, 26, a housewife committed self-immolation after a bust-up with her husband in the precincts of Bhara Kahu Police Station. The deceased was a mother of five. Her husband, Hayat Khan, escaped from the scene soon after the incident. Neighbours reported the incident to police who reached the crime scene and seized the body. Police are searching for Hayat.

An accused kept at Aabpara police station tried to commit suicide by cutting the veins of his hands with a piece of broken glass. The incident took place in the absence of the human rights officer (HRO) whose is responsible for taking care of the accused in police custody.

Israr Ahmed committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree in Ghagree village. Quoting Israr’s brother, police said the deceased was mentally unstable and had gone to the nearby fields to shepherd his goats. A local found his body hanging from a tree and informed the family of the deceased.

In another incident, the police have so far failed to arrest two constables, Munir and Tariq, for allegedly selling the kidney of a jobless person, Usman Rana, 24, for Rs 1 million and then escaping with the money. However, police have arrested Dr Zulfiqar, his personal assistant and an assistant sub inspector. Usman had come to Islamabad from Lahore in February in search of a job. Constable Tariq lured him to sell one of his kidneys for Rs 1 million. He was reportedly operated upon in a private hospital in Rawalpindi, and his kidney was grafted into the body of a British national. Usman reported the matter to the police when he did not receive the money. The official assured Usman that he would get the money soon after the operation.

A man died and 10 people were injured when a bus of Pakistan Air Force fell off a bridge after hitting a car at Shaheen Chowk. Shamraiz, 42, was going home on a bicycle when a speeding car hit him at Golra Morr. Shamraiz died on the spot.

Then somebody got wise and started a little research into Hollywood crowd's vast array of "educational acumen." When it became clear few even had a college degree, most were flunkies and many hadn't even graduated from high school, not a peep of apology was offered.

Islamic Spain: history's refrain
CSM: [Link: news.yahoo.com...]

Dark parallels with today

This fall directly links to events today and raises many of the same stakes. Though few Americans note it, one of Osama bin Laden's justifications for the 9/11 attacks was to avenge the "tragedy" of Islamic Spain.

So far, the post-9/11 world and the policies it has spawned seem to be heading in the same dangerous direction as witnessed before. The religious intolerance that engulfed and overwhelmed medieval Spain threatens the increasingly beleaguered pluralism of our own time.

At its best, the history of Islamic Spain is a model for interfaith cooperation that inspires those who seek an easier relationship among the three Abrahamic faiths. At its worst, it's a warning of what can occur when political and religious leaders divide the world. It reminds us what really happens when civilizations clash.

Congress can hold up the process by refusing to confirm anyone and everyone Cheney nominates. And if both Bush and Cheney are removed, the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 specifies the order of succession: "If, by reason of death, resignation, removal from office, inability, or failure to qualify, there is neither a President nor Vice President to discharge the powers and duties of the office of President, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall, upon his resignation as Speaker and as Representative in Congress, act as President."

The economy is now doing so well that a McDonald's owner in Montana cannot fill an open position. He is going to have to outsource the drive-thru window to a telemarketing firm in Texas.

The effects are everywhere. Logging equipment in Idaho sits idle as companies have a tough time finding workers. A shortage of lifeguards has forced Helena to shorten hours at children-only pools. A local paper in Jackson, Wyo., has page after page of help wanted ads.

Well... the problem is not confined just to leftists. Here's a post from a LGF poster on another thread just today:

re: #320 Killian Bundy

Okay, I think I get it, even though Muslims, using the highest estimates, are less than 2% of the U.S. population, that means we're on the verge of being overrun and ruled by Sharia.

This Yeats' poem has been on my mind for sometime now. In fact, I began thinking about it again as I started this thread. Then lo and behold!

As for K. Bundy...I've been advised he/she is all about the sarc tag. So read accordingly.

Re: #80

I thought the same thing about a female Methodist pastor. On a similar note, however, my 7 year old was told by his 2nd grade teacher after Kerry's Winter Soldier testimony, that "God doesn't listen to your prayers for baby killers." This was in response to the question put to the class on what they did before going to bed at night and my son said he "prayed for his Dad to be safe," because his Dad was on his 3rd tour in Vietnam at the time.

OK, for all the TRUE Trek geeks, this!

re: #80 Galloping Granny

Your grasp of history is slipping. The Methodists in America began ordaining women in 1956. That tidbit is courtesy of my seminary professor cousin. The picture you draw of the status of women is perhaps too broad for the country as a whole. Would you consider apologizing to Outrider for your not-very-well-masked calling him a liar?

re: #206 Outrider

re: #198 David IV of Georgia

How many female pastors did the various Methodist churches have during the Viet Nam war? My guess is less than one.

I know there had to have been at least one. Ours. I don't find this unusual.

Ok folks settle down- what we have here is a simple mistake, let's not blow it out of proportion.

I think futher upthread perhaps Mama Winger got Presbyterians mixed up with Methodists, remembering this story, which was pretty big news in '06.

re: #207 DesertSage

Go ahead Lefties, impeach Bush. Waste time and taxpayers money impeaching the president when we're in the middle of a war. Nothing would unite a fractured conservative base more then a stupid impeachment...all but insuring a GOP victory next year.

So go ahead, impeach if you want...it would be the dumbest thing the Democrats ever did.

I'll bet internal DNC opinion polling had reached that same conclusion, which is why Nancy and Harry are now enduring the shrieking and sniping from the KosKidz wing of the Party. How long before they cave?

OT: Family loses 2nd son in Iraq

Nathan Hubbard, who joined the U.S. Army after his brother Jared [USMC] died in Iraq three years ago, was killed Wednesday in the crash of a U.S. Blackhawk helicopter in Iraq.

Not detracting the loss of the other 13 families, and I know this isn't the only family to lose two sons, but keep the Hubbard family in your prayers this weekend.

This has been a very entertaining hour. First i read the Huffpo piece calling for Gen. Pace to arrest President Bush. Then I read the thing Charles posted about the Kos kid who wants a cat fur coat. I concur with Mama Winger "what the hell was that"? I like cats, so I am beyond speechless. Couldn't a post like that be forwarded to a police department for investigation into possible animal cruelty charges?

I actually read some of the Hufpo comments. One decent comment mentioned a old paper published by Parameters, which is the quarterly magazine of the Army War College. It is called "Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012. It was good when i first read it in 1992, and is still worth reading. I don't know how to do links, but go to

re: #196 Outrider

Thanks, but the name is historical from the other Georgia. I'm from the Bonnie Blue Republic of Texas.

I have more than a few acquaintances in the military; friends and relatives. After hearing from them about the mood of a vast majority of the military towards the MSM, HuffPo types, etc., I don't think I would be wishing too much for a military coup about now, or any kind of move by the military against our civilian leaders. I doubt it would have the results that they, HuffPo, are counting on.

Ah. OK. Texas is great also. I was stationed there for five years in the 80s and loved it.

It is possible. I don't know everything (the rumors are wrong). Please don't be offended-but it would be unusual in the early '70's.

re: #108 Sharmuta

re: #47 squarepeg

You know- there is an LGF Dictionary.

Thanks for calling that to my attention. After a brief study of it, I'm afraid I must reject "moby" as the answer to my question above. It turns out a moby is strictly a lefty troll on a righty site. Isn't there a word that's not ideology-specific? A word that would apply regardless of who's trolling whom?

If not, there should be.

And does anyone know of a single English word (not blogosphere-related) that means "someone who thinks like you." It would be a co-something I imagine. The following words are close but not it:

compadre
confrere
coreligionist
colleague
coeval
contemporary
cohort

There is a big difference between impeachment and calling for the armed overthrow of the U.S. government.

Just as a quick reference to show I am not as some posters believe, a liar or confused I offer this reference:

"...In 1910, she said, 685 women were identified by the U.S. Census as clergy. The number climbed to 1,787 in 1920 and 6,824 by 1950. In 1994, there were more than 3,000 clergywomen in the United Methodist Church, 1,843 in the United Churches of Christ and 1,574 in the Assemblies of God..."

re: #239 Outrider

I grew up in the UMC Texas Conference. I knew of no Texas women Methodist (UMC) pastors in the early 1970's. It would have been very unlikely. I wrongly extrapolated from my experience. I believe they (UMC-Texas Conference) have a female bishop now. In any case, the gender was irrelevant to the point. Forgive any offense I have caused.

re: #217 Racer X I questioned his timing and I was wrong. The timing issue has nothing to do with ovaries protecting you from being an asshole, nor his belief that questioning him marked me as a Catholic, an Orthodox or a sexist. He had his facts right but appears to be rather narrow in his opinions.

re: #235 ploome hineni
Ah, you're killing me. i doubt if he'd remember my dad, dad's dead (so I can't quesrion him), and you still appear to be an asshole.

re: #8 song_and_dance_man

This character obviously is a product of the whole language teaching method who never got past grade three.

"I am shore you have..." Sheesh.

The comment by the Methodist lady preacher is nothing new. There was a Church of Christ preacher, in the county where I grew up, who said anyone who had fought in WW2 was a bloody murderer. My grandfather, who lost a son in WW2, was going to give this fellow a good country ass whuppin' for a going away present but the neighbors talked him out of it. They did run him out of town however.

I do believe this sort of thing became a lot more prevalent during the Nam years however.

re: #248 ploome hineni

I respect my wife. i have little respect for you. In the posts you've done in the past, I've sensed a lot of anti-Catholicism. Maybe you should read up on Thoreau.

re: #248 ploome hineni
C'mon, bitch! bring it on.

re: #231 squarepeg

How about like minded? But that is two words.

#228 ploome hineni :

What did I do? Well, I came very close to getting arrested. Had they let me at this teacher, I would have throttled her. I was livid. But, unfortunately, in the early '70s, being an active duty military family was not a very pleasant thing to be. And we lived in a military town. I did hear from another parent that the school had quietly decided not to renew this teacher's contract for the following year.

I wish sometimes that when my kids were young, I had had the self-confidence that maturity brings. But back then, it was pretty much drilled into us not to make waves or do anything that would bring notoriety to our military spouses or reflect negatively on the military in any way. And the Navy still had the attitude about families that we knew they were in the military when we married them, so shut up and deal with it. Thank God there is a very different mindset today. All I know is from that day forward, my hatred of all things John "Koward" Kerry was born and although I buried it for 30+ years, it came front and center that fateful night he stood in front of the camera and "reported for duty." I threw up and then immediately went online and made a major donation to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and my son said, see God does listen, He just works on his own schedule.

I am not familiar with the frocking (?) of Methodist Pastors. Dad had dropped us off in Massachusetts while he went to Nam. This incident occured in that state and this chapel was right across the street from us.
You caused no offense and I took none. But surely that could not have been a guy in drag up in the pulpit, it was a female. Do they have associate pastors or lay pastors? Perhaps while waiting for a permanant preacher? I attended services for just a few months.

Thank God, the author is a member of the 'responsible Left'.

In a coup, those valiant defenders of our military, the KOSkids and GlueHuffersPost, would be the first ones shot.
