They're not journalists, they're an advocacy group.

It wasn't an article, it was a paid advertisement.


This is a joke account, right? Between this and the stuff in the "douchebag tricefta" thread, it's like someone decided to don the conservative cape and wizard hat, then ratchet up the dumb.

I see your point but I think the government endorsed denouncement of a political statement in this official capacity is a kind of violation of freedom of speech. The government has the right to say that they disagree with the points being made, but they don't really have the right to pass a movement in Congress condemning something that speaks against them. I suppose this is a hard distinction to clear up without bringing in a Constitutional law expert, but personally I think the government overstepped it's bounds in this matter.

Actually, I am very willing to go somewhere else and think about doing so every day. There are three reasons why I still live here. I am a college student and in order to complete my degree I can't just walk away. Secondly, and this is partly linked to the first reason, I don't have the money to just leave, seeing as I have all the money tied up in school and student loans as well as a low income due to focusing my efforts on my degree instead of work. Now, most importantly though, I actually do like the underlying concepts of this country but they have been perverted to be something very different from what they are supposed to be. I am hoping that when someone who actually cares about the welfare of this country(as opposed to Bush who only cares about the welfare of his bank account) gets into power we can start back on the path to true freedom. I'm not so much expecting it as I'm not quite ready to completely give up yet, and that right there is the real core reason why people who don't like this fascist state still live here. The people like me actually do love this country for what it was created as, just hate what it has degraded into. We are the true patriots. The highest form of patriotism is dissent against the state, when it abuses it power, for the welfare of the people. Because, after all, according the the Constitution the people are the actual rulers of this country and the government officials are our servants that are supposed to help preserve our rights and liberties, not take them away.

The American Soldier: Fighting for our right to say stuff that he's fighting for the right to tell us we're not allowed to say.

There are plenty of us who are planning to go somewhere else -- no matter who wins the next election. We are just not telling you.

Must be your charming personality. That, or the belief that people in this country actually matter. I know, it's a silly notion, people voting in this country and speaking their minds and hoping to bring about change, but bear with me.

Though, if I could go somewhere else, I'm thinking New Zealand.

I just submitted this as news in my general ignorance caused by avoiding FTR articles outside of the Baseball group. But one thing he failed to mention:

That's right - that one failed. And it says the exact same thing. It's the most convoluted and confusing thing that's ever fucking existed.

I honestly don't see the difference. The resolution is nothing more than a finger-wag and serves no purpose other than to point out the spineless doucheholes in Congress.

On the positive side, I just experience the joy of deleting your article.

Good times. Thanks.

You bastard! You could have let Gerry_D do it! I can't go on!

Life is hard, man. You've gotta take your lumps. And Gerry_D got an early copy of Halo 3. He can fuck off.

Ya know, I'm really sick of this "love it or leave it" bullshit from the right. Maybe we do love it, maybe even more than you. Maybe we are tired of the "facsist's" (sic) turning this country into the polar opposite of what we believe it should be. Maybe you should leave. I have just as much right to be here, express my opinion and live MY life in MY country the way I want to. FYI, was born on an Air Force base in Washington DC, while my father had just returned from his tour in the Air Force in Viet Nam, so If I don't have the right to be here and live as I choose in the country of my birth without some right-wing assholes telling me to "love it or leave it", then no one does. Maybe we don't want to go "somewhere else" because we want OUR country back!

PS. That little red line under the words you type, means you need to brush up on your spelling.

Amazing, the strings my ten bucks pulled.

Fuck Halo 3. I've been on Madden 08 for about a week straight with the AI level on about two, and still have scored a combined total of about six points in the second halves of all the games. It's maddening. (Get it? Huh?)

I do. I do get it. (double meaning) Get it?

So, MoveOn asked their membership if they should respond to the vote. The answer was an overwhelming affirmative. They have sent an ad to the NY Time for publication on Sat.

Definitely makes me laugh.
