Fuck Jack this is high school stuff. Ever say the pledge of allegiance?

labels like definitions migrate and change in time. what we have here in the u.s. we call a democracy. as well as by the people it is defined as such by the united states government. canada may be another story. if you have a problem with a living language get out your quills and send a pigeon to chaucer.

The authoritative references define the US as a Republic as you've seen Jack. You, of course, can call it whatever you want, just as you've done in the past.

Seems you actually do know the proper term. Maybe you just forget it on occasion and need to make something up.

Be sure to bring up the subject in your next campaign so the ignorant trailer trash will know you're one of them and not one of those educated, booklearned, city folk.

you have learned a great lesson grasshopper: if jack says it must be true.


unlike you i’m not arguing for rigid definitions – i'm arguing against them. nowhere did i deny a republic. the country was founded by those whose idealized versions of political platforms borrowed heavily from the ancient greeks. 200 years later the differences are lost to many and we say, and yes the united states government says, we have a democracy. bush & co aren’t sending our fair girls and boys to die in iraq to install a republic, not in speeches i heard on any campaign trails, whether thru manicured fields of grecian palaces or rutted roads of rusting trailer parks. a distinction lost on you perhaps, since this is connecticut, and our mobiile homes are worth more than your mcmansions.

Well until they amend the Constitution, I will call your form of Government a Democratic Republic. You can be as condescending has you want too, it won’t change my mind. I never was one to follow the crowd. Oh, and it is different here in Canada, Canada has a Socialist Government.

Sorry Mazer, went off topic.

I watched Cindy last night in an interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN and I have to say she really is not an intelligent person. She avoided the tuff questions and really doesn’t know what she is talking about. I think she is either a racist or somebody’s puppet. She absolutely does not deserve a second meeting with George W. Bush.

Grieving Bush Protestor Has No Exit Strategy
by Scott Ott

(2005-08-16) -- Cindy Sheehan, the protestor whose son died fighting for freedom in Iraq, today acknowledged that she has "no exit strategy" for getting out of what some have called the "quagmire in Crawford" outside of the Texas ranch of President George Bush.

"My opponent is more entrenched than I expected," said Mrs. Sheehan, whose vigil has focused national attention on the ability of the news media to focus national attention on Mrs. Sheehan. "I'm still committed to victory, but it may take longer than I thought at first."

Mrs. Sheehan said she is willing to "pay any price, bear any burden" to get a second meeting with Mr. Bush.

I saw a little: '- army bases the size of Sacramento in Iraq'. She lives in California so she should know how big Sacramento is. She just doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. Not by a long shot.

yet somehow she effortlessly manages to make the Prez look like a shmuck, every day that she's out there. this in turn drives the wing nuts crazy and they work overtime to bury her in sleaze:

...a left wing media whore in the form of a grieving mother.

my my - all that vitriol and all she did was refuse to grieve quietly after her son got killed. it's a shame the right can't get that worked up about stuff that really matters.

[albed]

Excluded by theknife:
"Last year, the President met with Mrs. Sheehan, comforted her, and grieved with her. At the time, Mrs. Sheehan thought the President had done well and appreciated him. Enter August, no major news, and a media still smarting over the President's re-election despite everything they threw at him. Cindy Sheehan returns entering stage right -- this time a left wing media whore in the form of a grieving mother."

"While Casey's grandparents, aunts, uncles, and numerous cousins having issued a statement saying Sheehan "now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the the expense of her son's good name and reputation,"


Man, what a smear knife! From her own relatives no less.


"Concurrently, the media and the left ignore those parents of the fallen who are offended by Mrs. Sheehan, support the President, or otherwise recognize that Mrs. Sheehan's actions discredit and undermine the work so many fallen soldiers works hard for. Those people just do not make the story flow like the left wants."


Really selective coverage wouldn't you say? But you're pretty selective yourself. Good link though, thorough and accurate.

[theknife]

she's like the teflon leftie.... nothing sticks on her because nothing can challenge her fundamental legitamacy: her son died for a lie. i think deep down, the radical right knows this and it scares them - why else would they get so hysterical about her?

[albed]

Yep. They're so hysterical they go around shouting:

"HEY EVERYONE LOOK AT ME, I'M GRIEVING!"

"BANG-BANG-BANG" "HEY MASS MEDIA COME OUT AND LOOK AT ME GRIEVING OVER HERE!"

"ALL YOU LEFT WING RADICALS COME TO TEXAS AND JOIN ME WHILE I'M GRIEVING."




She makes people hysterical alright.
