And so it begins…

U.S. Attorney General nominee says waterboarding is torture:

Asked whether a president might have the power to immunize people against criminal charges if they employ waterboarding, viagra see which creates a drowning-like sensation, cialis canada find to obtain intelligence to use against terrorists, ailment Mr. Holder answered unambiguously: “Mr. Chairman, no one is above the law.”

So does that mean he’s going to prosecute C.I.A. officials? Dick Cheney? President Bush?

I know some of my friends on the Left think that’s exactly what should be done, but I will reiterate something I’ve been saying for a while: if an incoming administration attempts to prosecute an outgoing one for policy differences it will be the end of our Republic.

I’m not saying it wasn’t torture…

….but when a government official asserts that the treatment of a particular Guantanamo Bay prisoner rose to the level of torture and says

“You think of torture, buy viagra store you think of some horrendous physical act done to an individual. This was not any one particular act; this was just a combination of things that had a medical impact on him, that hurt his health. It was abusive and uncalled for. And coercive. Clearly coercive.”

 
…I have to ask:

Isn’t being “coercive” pretty much the point of an interrogation?

I don’t care if the Mayor of Racine who has been arrested on charges of child enticement is a Democrat or a Republican, discount viagra search but plenty of partisans will.

It’s good Obama dropped this

It’s good that President-elect Obama dropped the $3, generic cialis healing 000-per-job credit tax credit from his stimulus bill.

But it’s bad that it was in there in the first place.

It was a stunningly stupid idea.

$3,000 doesn’t even begin to offset the hiring of a new employee.

And what’s to keep an employer from “firing” his entire staff and rehiring them?

Or hiring people and then letting them go again?

A ton of additional rules and regulations?

In general, I’ve always said I thought the President-elect was a pretty smart guy, but this was always a pretty dumb idea.

I agree with this from an ideological standpoint…

…but considering the economy, viagra canada physician it’s not smart politics:

Walker says no thanks to federal stimulus dollars.

Let’s suppose John McCain had won the election

And then, viagra sales buy during the second biggest financial crisis in American history, cialis buy he’d taken a vacation in Hawaii.

Be honest: what do you think the mainstream media and the left-wing blogosphere would have said?

Personally, I’m fine with the President-elect taking a little break. It’ll be good for all of us to have him take office rested and ready.

But I’m pretty sure, that would NOT have been the reaction if the swimsuit had been on the other foot (so to speak).

As sick as I am of all the unwarranted comparisons of Barack Obama…

…to FDR, tadalafil buy JFK, viagra buy and Abraham Lincoln; I can’t think of a more appropriate bible for America’s first black President to be sworn in with than the one that was used to swear in Abraham Lincoln – the President that ended slavery in America.

As Barack Obama might say, “enough!”

Do we really need a picture of the president elect on the cover of every magazine every week?

And can we stop with the religious iconography?

Barack Obama is not a black & white Buddha surrounded by prayers. Stop depicting him as if he were.

Say what you will about the evils of George Bush’s America, viagra generic unhealthy but I contend that every instance of the FBI investigating someone’s library books, or listening in to an American citizen talking to terrorists, did less to endanger our democracy than this unrestrained and unjustified worship of a politician.

Free societies die when they deify their leaders.

Rome’s Repbulic fell when Caesar was seen as a celestial saviour.

This worship of a politician is unseemly and un-American.

We’re a nation of equals.

Respect the office? Yes.

Hope for a hero? Fine.

Deify the Democrat? That’s when it’s time to say, enough is enough.

Since Wisconsin apparently enacted the nation’s first income tax…

…in an effort at: “reducing pressure on the property tax” and since it so clearly failed to do that, viagra canada buy viagra I suggest we repeal it.

All in favor?
