Metadata mining isnât listening in on phone calls. It is using huge amounts of data to find bad guys. You have to have a haystack to find a needle in it. We want to be safe. We have to give up a tiny bit of freedom in order to be safe.
montessoriteacher almost 12 years ago
Metadata mining has been going on before Obama, but some are now shocked, shocked, shocked.

You might want to blame Congress too. Reauthorizing the Patriot Act and all. And letâs face it, if Obama letâs his nose hair grow too long heâs the worst President ever. This wonât stop for you guys until heâs out of office because he is a black man. God help the woman when one is elected, who ever it is.

NPP, not everyone hates a black president. Especially when the GOP began a dedicated effort to diminish his presidency on inaugural night. The GOP has set anchor and tried to drag down everything possible-even sacrificing the good of the country in many instances-just to oppose POTUS. What the GOP has revealed about itself in the last few years is: It is clearly a racist organization, It is not in favor of women and childrenâs rights, It is against social welfare for those who need it most-even at a time when the needy are increasing in numbers exponentially, and It is against job creation because that might improve the economy. My own perception of any GOP is that they are despicable-even many of my friends who are GOP, I no longer socialize with them. When it comes to reasoning-they know they have a bad party but they are sticking with it even if it kills them.

Walter White for President. Nobody would dare mess with the USA with good old Walt as POTUS. Seriously, attacking Obama when this strip had nothing to do with him. Unbelievable.

It is GTâs strip, he is allowed to do whatever he wants to in terms of writing/drawing the strip. He has always alternated between talking about popular culture and politics. He is allowed to have a political POV, yes, even if it is different from your own.

Ok, Susan. I am trying to be patient about the baby news. It is that comic strip time warp getting to me again. My reply button doesnât seem to work on my iPad, which I use a little more than the laptop.

No. Iâm just kiddingâŚ. :>

I am still amazed by the number of people that read a comic strip for free, and then complain that they arenât getting their moneyâs worth because it is a comic strip and not Reuters.-I am amused by the feigned outrage when someone discovers that liberals donât like black conservatives any more than they like white conservatives.

Bush didnât âreactâ to 9/11, he used it to do what he planned from day one, which was his half-assed invasion of Iraq.

And thank you Redkaycel Repoc for also making a point I was going to make, though perhaps in a tiny bit different way. Same point.
McSpook almost 12 years ago
I agree with you re: wishing we had a more progressive president.But as a man of color, the President is obviously concerned that any liberal stance he takes will be reacted to, by the right, as âBlack guy wants toâŚdecriminalize marijuana or allow illegals into our country or increase taxes on rich white men.âTherefore he is leaning towards being a moderate.Face it, when we do have a woman president, she will likely be a moderate or even a conservative (a la Maggie Thatcher). The chances of a liberal woman becoming president right now? Slim to none.Whatever garbage the right throws at Obama, theyâd double down on a liberal woman.

Anyone who thinks Franklin was a staunch Tea Party style thinker should know that he was a strong supporter of free public health care. He badgered the Pennsylvania Assembly into funding a public hospital for âpoor diseasâd Foreigners and othersâ:âBut the Good particular Men may do separately, in relieving the Sick, is small, compared with what they may do collectively, or by a joint Endeavour and Interest.â

âUsurper Barry is extreme left. Your compass is just way off.â.No, your balance beam is off. To you, the Far Right is Conservative;The Right is Moderate;Moderates are Liberal andLiberals are Bolsheviks. Donât blame others for your misdirection.

Historical footnote: the line about falsely shouting âfire!â in a crowded theater came from a court opinion approving of arresting people for peaceful protest.
Memorable line, though.

The reason Obama canât get much done is the functional dysfunction of the American federal system. In Canada, people donât vote for the Prime Minister (equivalent to American President). Everyone votes for representatives. Whichever party has the most representatives elected, their leader gets to be Prime Minister. That way the Prime Minister and the Parliament (like Congress) will work together well, not battle each other the way the President and the Congress do in the US.
McSpook almost 12 years ago
âHe is a Conservative and a Regressive.â.Sorry, canât agree with you. Heâs not governing as a Liberal, I agree, but even if his actions are out of necessity âconservative,â I donât see him having that retrograde mindset that would classify him as a âregressive.âIf he had a Congress to work with that wasnât acting like a colossal road block, I truly believe his actions and policies would be far more progressive.

Okay, enlighten us. Tell us what you learned there. Aside from the WMDs that is.
sierraseven almost 12 years ago
I served in Iraq. And what I learned there says Verus is right.
We threw billions of dollars down a rat-hole. A third of it is most likely now deposited in the Swiss bank accounts of corrupt Iraqi government officials. Another third went to enrich contractors, both American and foreign. A fraction actually produced usable infrastructure for the Iraqi people â remember them? The people we were âliberatingâ?
A paltry percentage went to pay our troops. Once we returned home, the military and the VA have been completely unprepared to handle the life-long consequences of the war, in terms of permanent physical and mental disabilities.
The thousands of troops who were killed and maimed there did not make us, as a nation, any safer or more secure than before the war.
GuardSGT, you want people to think that your opinions represent the opinions of military personnel. They do not. I served honorably for 21 years. You can spout your insults all day long, but the truth is that I put my life on the line for our nation. Now that Iâm out of uniform, I can say what I could not say then. I served, I did my job to the best of my ability even though I knew that what we were doing was useless and wrong. Thatâs what a Soldier does. I would have stayed in if I could have, and I would have willingly deployed again. Thatâs what a Soldier does.
But now I can speak out, and I tell you that âG*****n Bushâ (as my commander always referred to him in private) was wrong to send us into Iraq.
Go on, start frothing at the mouth and calling me a liar and a traitor. Thatâs all you have â insults. But I want people reading this to know that you DO NOT speak for all OIF veterans.
McSpook almost 12 years ago
I correct myself:The way you see it,An ultra conservative is a moderate;A conservative is a liberal;A moderate is a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army;And a Liberal is a minion of Satan.Donât claim to use the Constitution as your guide; like the Bible it is as Liberal or Conservative a document as you interpret it to be; you are choosing to interpret it as a conservative doctrine.That doesnât make it one, other than to you.

GuardSGT, aside from the Iraqis thanking you (and I experienced it, too) and your observation of Saddamâs opulent residences (which is true â but one need not have served to know that), none of what you are claiming is anything that you observed or learned first-hand.Former Rep. Hoekstraâs imaginings about WMDs were debunked by the Penatgon. He is not a reliable source, and you most certainly did NOT see any WMDs yourself while in Iraq.Yes, the Clinton administration did think that Saddam had WMDs. So?None of the rest of your points are anything that you learned first-hand in Iraq. I respect the service of all military members, but your service does not make you any more credible with these tired talking points than anyone else who is parroting them. And strutting around saying âThat should be a high honorâ about yourself is disgusting.
sierraseven almost 12 years ago
Folks, I apologize for throwing peanuts to the resident clown. It just turns my stomach when he uses his military service to try and give credibility to his insults and crackpot theories.
Kip W almost 12 years ago
Interesting how those on the Right always like to assume venomous hate from the other sideâs fairly calm words here.
Projection is the GOPâs tell.
McSpook almost 12 years ago
If there is nothing to interpret about the Constitution, kindly explain why we need The Supreme Court.Any document, including every religious text, is open to some kind of scrutiny, and the Constitution has had itâs interpreters since the beginning of the US, the 9 justices of The Supreme Court.
McSpook almost 12 years ago
Iâm going to respectfully disagree about his being regressive, but I will not fault you for wishing he was more Liberal.I do, too.
sierraseven almost 12 years ago
GuardSGT, you are the one consumed with hate. It was a mistake for me to even try to oppose your canned talking points, which you will no doubt continue to baaa out like the mindless sheep that you are.I do not usually detail my military service, because my father â a WWII USMC veteran â taught me that the heroes were the ones who did not return, and that respect for them includes not parading our own service.But since you claim expertise: I was a Master Sergeant. I was the Civil-Military Operations NCOIC for a medical battalion, and I also worked at the brigade level, in the CMO section, a brigade command staff section. Contact with Iraqi nationals and Iraqi officials was not incidental to my job â it was my job. I attended briefings, in person and through network, daily that involved the effectiveness of our operations. I traveled throughout the Iraq theater of operations, excepting only the Anbar area, where (because it was a USMC AO) medical operations were carried out by the Navy. I will only say once more: you do not represent the opinions of everyone in the ranks of the military, or of veterans.
And it turns my stomach to see you flaunt your military âcredentialsâ in order to try and deceive others into thinking that you have some kind of moral high ground or any inside knowledge about WMDs or any other topic. You know nothing more than what you read in the emails forwarded to you by other far-right wing loons.
Enough. Iâm done with you.

Broadcast television: pablum for the eyes, known (even with good writing/acting) as âfillerâ, whatever is between âcommercialsâ (with, you may notice, better production values and much attention to detail), which is where the MONEY is. Watch the Cleo Awards sometime. Your eyeballs (and ears, on radio) are sold (as âdemographicsâ) to the advertisers. Support local, community radio and TV, at least the ones with NO âendorsementsâ..
sierraseven almost 12 years ago
GuardSGT, you said:âI have served in Iraq.What I learned there says you are wrong.âNone of what you claimed, aside from your observations of Saddamâs residences and Iraqi people thanking you, was anything that you learned in Iraq.
