Well, he can declare anyone of us an “enemy combatant” at his sole discretion and have us imprisoned indefinitely and TORTURED. I call that a dictator.

BDS may not be a killer but it does the sufferer no good and it would appear a matter of volition.

You report as fact much one might dismiss summarily, and have evidence to offer for doing so–in a different forum.

Bingo!

I think one must measure the sad consequences of having invaded with the horrible consequences of having done nothing for a decade. As Tony Blair put it, “Doing nothing IS doing something.”

Doing fine? I think not. Let’s see, he invaded Iraq under false pretenses (he lied) to the tune of over a half trillion and counting, not to mention some 4,000 American lives lost, and many more wounded physically and psychologically, which will cost untold billions more for many years. For that alone, he should have been impeached.

Well that’s good news.

The list was intended to loosely itemize that governor’s practice, not his philosophy, which I intended to imply, was at variance with his stated positions. I may have failed in the latter.

I was under the impression, libertarians were socially moderate to liberal and fiscally moderate to conservative. That impression was gained solely by my captive presence during “Prairie Dogging” and not by examination of any platform, and I maintain no illusion to political sophistication.

For that matter, people here in Purple America don’t call me moderate where I can’t imagine being otherwise characterized. Pardon me if I have blundered in some way. It was a throwaway remark.

They would have no purpose for existence if they didn’t find climate change so after only 2 years they had identified global warming and CO2 as a serious threat and began recommending formation of more organizations and committees which did the same.

Today billions of dollars are spent around the world by government organizations who’s entire survival depends on man made global warming being true. This had the necessary effect of corrupting the science beyond believability.

Kudlow:Governor Palin, thank you ever so much for coming on. We appreciate it. I want to start with this, it’s an oddball question. I mean, Senator McCain says it’s too pristine to drill. Senator Obama says the drilling won’t work. What is your response to this? How do you fight back?

Palin: Well it will work. And Senator McCain is wrong on that issue. He’s right on a whole lot of other issues, so thank goodness that he’s understanding and evolving with his position on OCS [Outer Continental Shelf]. So that’s encouraging. I think he’s going to evolve into, eventually, supporting ANWR opening also.

Talk about a non-statement. A warmer climate would certainly make Alaska a nicer place to live. A colder climate could make it unlivable.

=====================

Huh?

There’s nothing remotely libertarian about any of those positions.

Palin makes Hillary look like part of the good ol’ boy network. Someone to put Boxer in her place.

Regarding Palin, she’s stated that she is in favor of drilling for domestic oil. But we have to understand that someone in her current position as a candidate can’t take as strong stand as some of us would like– there’s an election to win, first. But the fact that she is in favor of drilling for more oil says a lot, and it aligns her much more closely with the average American family, which is being crushed by the current high gas prices.
