We pretty much know that many of the far left have this silly notion that conservative are the same as the Taliban.<br /><br />Some twisted logic justice from Holder is not too hard to imagine. His inability to answer Lindsey Grahams' questions about KSM's venue tells us Holder is a not about following the letter and spirit of the law.<br /><br />I am not too sure Obama understand the meaning of freedom as we know it. I suspect he finds it a "quaint" notion rather than a driving force.Clifton Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273941007555823028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-68310102174943258092009-12-31T02:36:17.425-05:002009-12-31T02:36:17.425-05:00Jess:

You know he thinks all of are "extremists" because we are conservative and think he's a bumbling boob. That can't be good.<br /><br />While he's busy ordering more studies and beer summits, why doesn't he do something about the weak areas of the various aircraft that fly civilians? You know, little things like sitting an air marshal in the seats over the fuel and "skin." Or better, ordering that these areas be reinforced with something to protect them from bombs? Or gee, maybe not letting radical Muslims with ties to al Quada and one-way tickets they purchased with cash on planes in the first place?<br /><br />And just wait. Holder will be filing charges against the citizens who stopped the bomber. (snark alert) He was "assaulted" by them, and there are many reports that he had his pants taken down and was ushered up the aisle with them around his ankles. That's probably some sort of crime, too. Humiliating a terrorist or something? A hate crime? Obviously these people were acting out of a clear hatred of this poor man who was only trying to do his job. Why not? They are railroading the Navy SEALS who punched a terrorist, so I'm waiting for these civilians to be arrested, too. <br /><br />I hadn't caught the omission of the word "freedom," but you are absolutely right. That's a significant omission. Again, given that he is working his czars' fingers to the bone to figure out how to shut down talk radio, Fox news, and the conservative internet, maybe he's not comfortable defending freedom? Or maybe he's just not comfortable defending freedom, period.Fuzzy Slippershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021615731454709413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-67731831505461026292009-12-30T08:58:38.955-05:002009-12-30T08:58:38.955-05:00I was listening to some talk shows and realized a ...I was listening to some talk shows and realized a very important point is being made: During all of this effort to fix healthcare, a Constitutionally mandated responsibility has been ignored for political gain.
