You forget Scruffy, this is why we are not allowed to talk bad about Obama.
If you believe the Bible you know Christ rose again around 3,000 years ago and ascended into Heaven. What was left out was that he came back down to Earth, this time as a black man.

--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

I suppose the differences are...
Cheney used his position to help engineer a war in which his corporation was vastly enriched, while Obama simply accepted some amount of help for his campaign.
Bush used his establishment connections to put him in a safe National Guard unit, while Clinton through his own efforts won a prestigious academic scholarship which granted him immunity from drafting.
Most people should be able to see the clear moral differences in those situations.
Palin clearly is, let's say limited in her political aptitude and experience, while Biden is an experienced operator.
Of course if right wing voters dislike confronting these obvious points, it is simpler to accuse a left-wing controlled media of having manufactured the position. It's difficult to do that and account for Fox News though.

I think there are two aspects to the use of insulting language. One is the effect on the target, and the other is the effect on the possible audience.
Politicians and other people who put themselves into public life, must expect to attract negative as well as positive comment. The use of insults is an accepted part of such discourse.
However, insults which are upsetting or disrespectful to onlookers are not easy to justify when there are alternatives.
Various modern usages, such as 'slow', 'gay' and even 'n00b' are widely held to be in this category.

Not that I am a big fan of the war, or of Mr. Cheney, but I am a stickler for facts. There were many, many contracts awarded by the US government in the reconstruction and ongoing occupation of Iraq. Of the nearly $1 Trillion dollars spent thus far on both the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts only $85 billion have been awarded to private firms. That number was put out in a report in 2008 by the CBO, an impartial and respectable source. Halliburton was awarded a contract for $8 billion after the overthrow of the Ba'athist regime, but this is a paltry number when compared to the regular contracts awarded by the DOD, and only one of many, many contracts. Incidentally Halliburton's profits rose to their peaks from 2005-2008, but this was of course after the major drop off in government contracts related to Iraq and the conflicts theater of operations. Frankly, I chalk up the whole Halliburton conspiracy theory to nonsense, and I place the blame for the invasion on outdated military intelligence, misguided idealism and a brash American emotional response to 9/11. My sources were: Reuters, the Congressional Budget Office, and Halliburton's own reports that are submitted to the Federal government.
Kilkrazy wrote:Bush used his establishment connections to put him in a safe National Guard unit, while Clinton through his own efforts won a prestigious academic scholarship which granted him immunity from drafting.
That's not entirely true. Both President Clinton and President Bush used avenues to "dodge the draft." And no, the Rhodes Scholarship does not grant immunity from the draft, at least at the time it didn't, I may be wrong about nowadays though. But since we don't have a draft it is irrelevant. President Bush actually used a legal and easy method to avoid being drafted and sent to Vietnam. After a draft card is drawn only so many people with that card actually get drafted. In order to avoid being drafted many men would simply go out and join a different branch of the military. My dad knew several guys who did, because if you are enlisted you have a legal contract with that branch of the military, and even the draft can't override it. GWB simply went and joined the Texas Air National Guard, although I am sure his dad was watching the whole time. President Clinton though was not without his own connections. He worked for Sen. Fullbright, the Fullbright Fellowship is his legacy, and for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. It is widely assumed, and indeed declared as fact by President Clinton's draft officer, that Sen. Fulbright was instrumental in getting Bill Clinton assigned to ROTC status and thus preventing him from being drafted. I don't blame him, I probably wouldn't have supported the war either.

Kilkrazy wrote:Palin clearly is, let's say limited in her political aptitude and experience, while Biden is an experienced operator.
On Palin you are absolutely correct, although on Biden you are rather deluded. Biden is a horrible orator, he rambles, says awkward, wrong and even inappropriate things knowingly. Biden, while yes experienced, is not some grand orator. Even his fellow Democrats have said that.

No, the Rhodes Scholarship is considered post-graduate since you have to have a college degree to qualify. The only post-graduate work that was exempted for the time period was studies in Divinity, and Medical studies. Law, and other post-graduate work is not exempted at the time. This has since been changed to include all collegiate work.

To my knowledge all collegiate (or graduate) work has always been a standard for exemption.

Silverthorne, I gotta disagree with you. Recognising and respecting important diplomatic figures is just courtesy, and courtesy should be how you approach interactions unless you have a strong reason to do otherwise.

You've had the opportunity to say no, or move. I suspect you either approve, or feel indifferent.
"I love this country, and its non-socialism, but I will run away when I'm forced to do anything"
I didn't actually mean anything by it, it was an abysmally bad joke about you likening conscription and selective service with adultery and fantasy. 
I'm not sure what you mean by "this" country because despite my flag I am Australian.
