I think one needs to relearn the rights and responsibility of the federal government. Try re-reading the Constitution, particularly the parts which limit the federal governments authority.. Anyone here who knows where the obligations and limits of each branch of government can rightfully determine who the fool is here..

I wonder how it is the NeoConfuseds are so willing to believe someone like Qaddafi, KNOWN to have led a government that sponsored the mass murder of Americans, can change but absolutely refuse to accept the possibility that an American might've changed over time?

Is it oil, hypocrisy, or both?

What is wrong with our schools?
Maybe if relations with Cuba are normalized, they'll go over there.

? what, the white house? everything in there can be checked, followed up on. Problem is you have to be "allowed" to go there

Oh God, yes Glenn did, and he surely knew he was doing it, and he and his owners are counting on you not checking it out. I just gave you Obama's words that show what he meant by "far enough", and links to his actions that prove he meant what he said. I cant keep showing you. If you dont understand by now you might as well stick with Glenn.

Just like the attacks on Bush stopped when Rumsfeld resigned.

It says so in the very first sentence of the article. You chose to leave out of your post the fact that his article was limited to organ donations and scarce vaccines. Why did you decide to do that?
And, by the way, don't you think it would have been helpful if your readers had known that Dr. Emanuel was one of the leading opponents of assisted suicide. Of course, that would have blown a large hole in your thesis. Better to simply mislead.

It's not misleading to give a link to what he said in his own paper. I happen to think you shouldn't apply his age criteria of not treating the very young or the elderly because you either think they aren't productive members of society yet and you haven't vested that much resources in them (the very young) or they have passed their usefulness (elderly) in the case of scarce medical conditions. I'm one of the ones who thinks, for example, the CDC's decision not to give priority H1N1 vaccines to people over 64 who have health conditions associated with higher risk of medical complications from influenza is pure age resource bias right out of the Emanuel playbook. I think anyone who has health conditions associated with higher risk of medical complications from influenza ought to get priority treatment.

Maybe in Bizzaro World.

Is Jones only resigning because he's a 9-11 truther? None of that Communist, Racist talk in the resignation?

Find any documentation of Rev. Wright using the term whitey. The people I hear using it the most are all from the right wing who are trying to enhance their status as victims.
