    I rarely watch CNN (or any US TV actually) but I ran across this anchor (I don’t know his name) last weekend for a few minutes. I am amazed anyone that dim and condescending is on a national new program. He’s pathetic. I’m so sorry for all my American chums.

    On the plus side, Men With Brooms was replaying on Canada Day. There is nothing more Canuckish than a mushroomed up Leslie Nielsen.

    The above video of is representative of Obama’s campaign. He was voted in as an anti-war, pro-diplomacy but he as only done what the Bush administration did only more enthusiastically. Gitmo is still open, we still have troops in Iraq and will for some time, and we have only doubled our efforts to go at war with all 20 or less people in Afghanistan. What’s next? When do we begin full troop deployment in Pakistan? We have a pretext and we need to go secure the nukes there. This is just more of the same no matter what the Obamatrons say. Where is the outrage over the confirmation over Petraeus? The libs where frothing over him under bush But now he’s their guy because Obama said so? Talk about sheeple. This might well be the future of America. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204482304574219813708759806.html

    #20–DA==well done. Sorry I left for a couple of hours. You say:

    1. “For someone who claims to be an almighty master of words you seem to have missed the boat entirely on this one.” /// I have never claimed that. By inference only but if directly challenged, I recognize we all stumble on our way. Those closer to the path and searching for a light certainly are better off than those howling in the dark that they have the light of sweet reason. Perhaps some of my “nom de flames” have thrown you off? Many of those are jokes, or irritations, or challenges. Rarely do I claim any special expertise or argue from that perspective. Just questions or challenges.

    2. Agree on the def of apology. Thats great because some common ground is necessary before a house of learning can be built.

    3. “…you twisted what Paul meant to make excuses for lemon.” /// No. I stated directly what Paul said and Paul was twisting what Steele said to be an apologist for him (Steele). I made no excused for Lemon, in fact, I criticised him for being bitchy and whiney. “Let me get a question in here Sen Paul.” Amateur time. But I like his attitutde. IT IS THE PRESS FOR CHRIST’S SAKE that needs to tell politicians they aren’t telling the truth==not the other way around.

    4. “Sometimes you have to take what someone means, not what they say. Not everyone is a master of words.” /// Children, retards, and upset women?==Yes. Politicians and LIEbertards?==No.

    DA–you are childlike in your dyslexic association of words and ideas. But I sense a kind nature. Post ON!!

    #24–clowne==DA didn’t say what you posted so I assume that is some garbled up response to me?

    I am not for Cuba. I am for the maximum freedom and good life for the most possible. Social Liberal and Economic Conservative.

    More just blow it out your ass word association/bumper sticker non-think instead of analysis. But I sense a kind nature. You too may enter the house of learning. We can all learn from each other if you drop the stupid act.

    Anyone else notice CNN is now producing shows the same way as TWiT and Adam Curry – via Skype!

    #21–fargonads==Didn’t you criticize me for not spell checking? Yes, I’m multitasking with a sticking keyboard and too often my fingers have a mind of their own. I rarely correct as I assume most people can get my drift. I will correct when I think the puzzle is too hidden.

    Amusing though. Doddo or dodo. Did you misspell or just not know the difference?

    Bobbo – the DU troll. We read you loud and clear, every time, every day, every post… many times and always… your vitriol is crystal clear, year in year out. For Gods sake, next please!

    About 4:09 into the video Paul shines light on the strategy that was apparently on a memo sent out. Republicans took a beating for the Iraq War so it’s only “fair” that they can blame Obama for the Afghanistan War.

    At 5:50ish and several years AFTER we go into Afghanistan Paul asks “Why are we there?” Way to be on top of it Ron.

    It’s a good strategy for the Republicans really. Divide the issue among themselves.

    Republican Group A: Commit more to Afghanistan(like McCain).

    Republican Group B: Why are we there? This is Obama’s War(like Paul).

    By dividing it among themselves they effectively put the Obama administration in a can’t win situation because whatever he chooses the GOP will be sure to have someone on camera condemning it.

    Posted in another thread, but appropriate.

    Journalists don’t seem to report the news anymore… it’s all editorialized.

    If Cynthia Tucker were a Republican / Libertarian instead of a Democrat and criticized Obama much in the same way she did with Steele, would those journalists be all over this as news? (5:06 to 5:31): http://tinyurl.com/24moz8e

    Taxes will be going up for those making under $250k now. Where are Chairman Obama’s Truth Squads now?: http://tinyurl.com/29mh5u7

    But will the mainstream journalists point out hypocrisies? Nah. They like the guy. They’ll be praising Obamanomics and keep pushing the hopey-changey thing.

    #30–Raum==thank you. Its good to know my little hobby gets noticed.

    Aren’t you being a bit harsh yourself? Vitriol? “Oh to see ourselves as other’s do.”

    but not always, so when used, is it deserving or not? Yes, thats the question. Every once in a while I have the thought to back off a bit, and then I think, why pretend? Its mostly what I really think.

    But to that end–I always post under “bobbo” so that those wishing to avoid me may do so easily.

    I do assume a few good folks here post under different names on a regular basis but they all seem to be humor oriented and thats a good think.

    Imagine a community if you will. Made up of all different kinds of people learning/sharing with one another==if they can be honest.

    All these compliments, I’m blushing.

    Thank You Anon. Its true my target is not to be a wit. Not even half my goal.

    My goal: argue cogently, and
    eschew obfuscation.
