Unfortunately, neither Bush or Obama respect(ed) the Constitution.
#142 – Warden
That has to be one of the most content-free postings I’ve seen yet. Even from you. And that’s saying something!
#144 – Alex
>>Quote me in the Constitution of the United
>>States where “life, liberty, and the pursuit
>>of happiness”, are mentioned.
Hey, the guy’s a critical thinker, not a historian. Cut him some slack. Constitution, Declaration of Independence, what’s the difference? They’re all just goddamned pieces of paper.
King George told us so.
#139, nonsense,
With people being sent to WAR and DIEING to defend their oath to defend the U.S. Constitution
How many people were scooped off the streets and sent to Iraq? Right, not one! Every single military person in our military today is a volunteer. Every single one of them joined the military knowing they could be sent to a war zone.
The rest of your post is a mush of irrational, spittle soaked, garbage. We elected Obama to do the best job he can under the circumstances. Whatever he does is hindered by the mess created by Bush and the reluctance of politicians to allow “terrorists” in their back yard.
Would I like to see Obama do everything I want? Of course. Yet I am a realist enough to recognize he won’t do everything I want and on my schedule. Whatever he does is a hell of a sight better than what Bush did or McBush would have done.
BTW, Bush went to Yale.
#148, Ayatollah1,
As we have 32 chromosomes, and are human beings, but 16 chromosome sperm or 16 chromosome egg are not human being
You really ought to do a bit of research before you post. Please read this over again and correct yourself before someone else makes you look like the fool you are.
#139, Wardie,
What the hell are you blabbering about.
#149, Ralphie,
Thank you for saying much of what I would have.
#151, Ayatollah1,
#144 Its in the Declaration of Independence which is the CONTEXT of the constitution…Federalist concepts are defined and the constitution is defendant upon it for meaning.
May I suggest you read this over again, take a couple of deep breaths, think rationally, and make your corrections.
You look like an illiterate idiot already, please quit trying to prove all of us right.
#153, Ayatollah1,
Alphie, I gave you a hint, and a chance. Your arrogance shows how blind you are.

# 149 Ralph, the Bus Driver,
Ralph what happen you get run over by the bus?
BTW Bush got his MBA from HAVARD, you dumb shit.
Alfie goes into hyperstupid and spins off the road.
Passerbys can’t help but look at the carnage.
Poor fool didn’t even know what road he was on.
# 149 Ralph, the Bus Driver,
Not only did you and # 152 Mr. Fusion brains get run over that same bus you drive, but you both are sitting on your crap for brains.
I don’t go for following the public crowd in their cult of person or personalities, that you both obviously do.
I voted for Obama, but I rightfully hold the right to criticize him. I do so because I don’t see him holding up to the oath of office he took, to uphold and defend the Constitution.
Since # 152 Mr. Fusion is Canadian, I can understand his lack of allegiance to something he never took an oath to defend nor fought for.
What Obama is doing is extra-constitutional, which in my opinion, (since all that is at stake is his political career and not his life as some of us had been prepared to give to support the constitution) makes Obama a COWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#132 nimby:
Don’t oral contraceptives inhibit ovulation? I hate to be a wikipedia cut-and-paster, but the article on oral contraceptives says:
“[scientists] conclude that endometrial changes are unlikely to play an important role, if any, in the observed effectiveness of COCPs”
“Guess you’ll have to redefine life again…”
I’m not sure why you’d think this.
# 40, You hit the nail squarely with the truth hammer. POWs are just that, and until there is an armistice with a peace treaty signed and ratified, these non uniformed soldiers of the radical Moslem ilk should remain in camps, period, full stop!
Now, as a Canadian, I find it unacceptable that a captured piece of Cuba is retained for this purpose. In WW2 we interned many POWs in both of our countries with few escapees, and in fact used them to perform work to maintain their bodies and souls plus earn their upkeep.
I would prefer to see these radical detainees housed in an Arctic Island detention environment. Freezing their asses off while trying to avoid hungry Polar Bears would be a great lesson in why you should respect your fellow humans, but no, your stupid bugger mentality prevents true justice.
The only inquiry needed is that which proves the detainee is in fact a member of the radical Islamist Sect(s) demanding death to all Infidels, ie. non Islamics. Just because they do not wear a uniform with insignia, rank, and decorations does not exclude them from permanent detention during a war that they themselves declared. They should be thankful that they were not evaporated in a bloody great mushroom cloud! [which they damn well should have been]
#162–brm==I’d like to hear your nuanced argument for why abortion of fetuses after implantation is wrong, but one second before that it is ok.
If you google, you can google Roe v Wade. You sound like you would understand its excellent review of the terminology, science, morals, and history of the abortion/life debate.
Now I think Nimby did clearly say Contraceptives had nothing to do with ovulation although there could be some minor issues? But I think he was reading too fast and confused you with Mustard who also no doubt would enjoy reading your nuanced position.
I’m off to read about contraceptives. Why I don’t know.
As usual, what any word/concept does/means is based on what specifically one is talking about.
There are many different types/ingredients in contraception pills that do different things to different degrees. I’ll bet when Nimby got his license, OC were mostly what he said above. You have to stay up on your literature and give a shit to keep up with new modalities.
Still, I’m with Nimby as far as “which statement is most correct.”

How and Why did this thread get hijacked from being about Obama’s gitmo reversal to abortion, contraception….
# 41 Traaxx # 43 Mister Mustard start you own thread and leave this one to Obama’s gitmo reversal.
As # 143 John C Dvorak points out this thread has become hijacked by tin foiled hat nuts.
#163 That’s a pretty interesting plan.
My plan would have been too radical and possibly cruel and unusual punishment. That is, close Gitmo and make the detainees live with a member of congress. The congressperson would be obligated to feed the detainee and do his laundry.
To make it more interesting, I would allow the detainee to pick his host congressperson. I wonder who would be most popular?
#167 – noname
quit highlighting the sysop’s name in orange, ya brown-nosing bastard.
Yes my noise is brown # 169 Mister Mustard, but no I am not highlighting sysop’s name in orange. This blog is set up to do that automatically. The blog also pages John C Dvorak each time.

Ah, very clever. Set up to automatically highlight the name of Mr. Dvorak in orange. Now THAT’S a novel feature. One might think it would be more useful to set the blog up to automatically handle standard-format URLs properly, but I guess not.
The orange highlighting IS very festive. Reminiscent of Halloween, pumpkins, frosty nights and hot cider. The internet is truly a magical thing.
# 171 Mister Mustard,
“The orange highlighting IS very festive. Reminiscent of Halloween, pumpkins, frosty nights and hot cider. The internet is truly a magical thing.”
I’ll let you in on a little secret, John C Dvorak is the “great pumpkin”; hence the orange and white.
#156, noname
Yes, you are correct. Although Bush attended Yale for his degree, he did go to Harvard for his MBA.
Rumor has it though, he was AWOL through most of his classes but since his daddy was a former Congressman and then President of the Republican National Committee, he was given his degree anyway.
# 174 Ralph, the Bus Driver said, “Rumor has it though,…”
And, rumor has it that the reason Obama won’t release his school records is because they show low performance… Yep.
#160, noname,
And exactly what was your point? As I read it, only those who have served have the right to voice any objection to Obama?
Well look here asshole, I served. 2ndB, 101. I flew a Huey (UH-1). I even have a hole in my leg from where they dug out some metal. Many of my friends didn’t come home like I did. I’m thinking of them today. I’m remembering why they had to die.
Now forget what I just wrote. Those who feel the need to bring up their status usually are the wannabes. That would include you. If you served, you know. But, to write such garbage today, is the height of ignorance.
You sir, are the coward. End of story.
# 176 Ralph, the Bus Driver,
Fuck you, damn redneck bus driver, wanabe. You read me wrong. I object to those who don’t stand up for the constitution. That what you swore to uphold if you indeed served.
#158, Ayatollah1,
Well, I did give you fair notice.

Humans have 23 chromosomes. Since they are paired, that makes 46 per cell.

The Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. It was followed by the Articles of Confederation which was drafted after the Declaration of Independence.
The sole purpose of the Declaration of Independence was to sever all ties with Briton and make the colonies independent. It was to justify the rebellion then ongoing and which were to last another four years.
The Constitution of the United States was written a few years later when the problems in the Articles of Confederation became apparent. It wasn’t signed until 1787.
I just have to love the way the far right like to rewrite history to suit their purposes.
BTW, your link above, in #158, doesn’t go to any specific page. I guess that is the best you can do.
# 179 Mr. Fusion said, “The Constitution of the United States was written a few years later when the problems in the Articles of Confederation became apparent. It wasn’t signed until 1787.”
I’m glad you looked this up. You should follow up by reading the U.S. Constitution. It is a great document.
# 178 Mister Mustard said, “What the fuck are you talking about???”
Hi there, long time. I was simply making the point to not take rumor as fact…
#177, noname,
Fuck you, damn redneck bus driver, wanabe. You read me wrong.
I don’t think so asshole. Some very dear friends of mine gave their lives so that you can pretend. Please don’t besmirch their honor with your prattling. You lied asshole. Here, read this.
#131
Your problem, wannabe, is you only want the Constitution to protect those who agree with YOU. Crawl back under your rock.
