What a Difference a Week Makes
Just got back after hanging out with the Simpsons and Mickey Rat & Friends. For the last 8 days I did not read a paper. I did not seriously watch the news or any cable tv news show, I did not read the news on the net. I did not spend my time arguing in vain with narrow minded short sighted liberals trying to convince them that they are dead wrong on energy, taxes, the law, and most things of importance. I did not read any Supreme Court cases this week. The one that I really cared about (the Kentucky pension case) went against me and will likely affect a bunch of my cases so while I was pleased with the 2nd Amendment decision, I didn't bother having to argue with hard headed liberals as to why the decision was correct. (A good book to read is James Madison and the Struggle for the Bill of Rights).
In Sum, it felt good just getting away for a while. The lawyer in me sometimes makes me compelled to argue. But unlike in the Courtroom or in a legal brief where my arguments are made to persuade the Court or an opposing counsel, in the everyday world, especially in today's world, I've realized that with the rabid left, the Barack-a-maniacs, no matter was facts you present them, what historical evidence you present them, no matter what you say to them, they refuse to acknowledge that they are wrong in their positions. They then use faulty logic against you and resort to name calling.
Example:
Cigar Mike: We need to drill for more oil to boost mid to long term supply as a stop gap between future goal of alternate fuel and to reduce dependence on foreign oil from the mid east and Chavez.
Liberal: This is Cheney's fault; his failed energy policy made his oil buddies rich at the people's expense. If we drill now, we won't have results for 5-10 years. It does nothing for us now. We need to eliminate tax breaks for the oil companies tax the rich and force the auto makers and oil companies to make cars that run on green energy
Cigar Mike: There are no tax breaks for the oil companies. That's a myth. What you're talking about is you want to penalize the oil companies for research and exploration (a deduction the oil companies get just as any company gets) so they will stop exploring. Makes a lot of sense. It will take over 20 years or more before we can honestly say we can go to vehicles running on alternate fuels. It is an even more long term vision.
Liberal: Bush tortures people to help his oil buddies. Barack is God!
Liberals can't see beyond their noses. It is pointless to argue with one. You'll end up arguing for the sake of arguing. They argue with poor logic and ad homonym reasoning. So why even bother. You get a more intelligent response arguing with Homer Simpson.
Enjoy the short week folks.

Mike,
Liberals will always sidestep a question.
Liberals will point out a wrong as a justification to allow another wrong (ex. trade with China justifies trade with Cuba)
According to liberals Bush is responsible for aids, the plague, etc, etc.
We invaded Iraq under the pretense of "blood for oil" (LOL!)
Iraq was a freaking paradise and Saddam was an angel until the Bush administration spoiled it all.
Liberals believe that your money is better off in the hands of bereaucrates than in your pocket.
(YOUR money, not theirs)
Libs are always complaining how bad things are economically, as they leave expensive restaurants in expensive cars.
I could go on and on...

Just to catch you up, Mike, remember North Korea? The "axis of evil" North Korea? The one that some folks wanted to bomb a year or so ago? Yeah, that one. Well, they're now our friends. I guess you could say they're no longer against us, they're with us. No, really, I kid you not. That's funny, I know, but the funniest thing is that no one on the right wants to talk about it.
No idea why.
BTW, it's "vain."

Rick,
That is not entirely true. There has been outrage over N. Korea from the right, including Mr. Bolton.
I for one, am outraged..

Hey Rick, fuck you asshole. Try to delete that one.

I love you too, George. :)
Tough week for you, I know. First your linguist kicks off and then your president makes nice with the North Koreans. No more wet dreams of bombs going off in Pyongyang, right? Things are tough all over.
At least you still have Iran. One can only hope.

Can't win with these liberals... First they bitch about Republicans being too agressive with North Korea by threatening war instead of solving the "Nuclear problem" diplomatically (a nuclear problem created by the Clinton Administration I might add)then, when the problem is solved "diplomatically" they bitch about us being too soft. Go figure!
Republicans always clean up after the Democrats. 9/11 might have never happened if Bill Clinton hadn't lost the opportunity TWICE (after he was given to us on a platter) to take Osama Bin Laden.
