I will make you a deal. I will never refer to Janeane Garofalo and Al Franken as 'cooler heads', much as I might agree to their politics, and you do the same with Michelle Malkin. IMO, the woman is a first order nut. Not that I would kick her out of bed, I'd just make sure to run her through a metal detector first.

And why is it that everyone recognizes the 'slippery slope' when it deals with guns and abortion, but noone recognizes it on fundamental issues like privacy. Using the database for anything except terrorists should at a minimum require the signature of a judge.

You're not reading. Quit wasting time.

I think this line's mostly filler.

You may not. Al doesn't yet wish to keep the Republic. In related reading, scope out One Hundred People Who Are Screwing Up America (and Al Franken is #37), by Bernard Goldberg. Of late he's been hitting the talk shows plugging 110 People, instead of a mere hundred.

He certainly does, especially compared to Michelle "intern the Japanese" Malkin.

Actually, I am reading. I even know how to use italics, too. I do agree that it really is a waste of time to argue with you. You are the ultimate conservative. If you'd been in the Nuremberg docks or sitting next to Ollie in the Iran-Contra hearings, you would probably have been the one guy who stood up and said to the judges/senators "I still don't see what the fucking problem is".

It might be that we need guys like you. Too many men mix in conscience with duty, causing problems. You seem like you would be unhindered by any qualms. Illegal order? I doubt that you would even consider that such a thing is possible.

I feel stung on UG's behalf.

Ouch. Dayum!

Ayup. Sometimes you can get singed just by being in the general vicinity.

It's called collateral damage.
