AKMA’s Random Thoughts

Those same three words could be interpreted as words of life to unborn female future voters, AKMA. There's no guarantee that Bush appointees would automatically be prolife, but I don't think it's a stretch to assume that they would do a better job of protecting the rights of the unborn.

The modern Democratic Party has always claimed to do better than conservatives on "women's rights." That phrase is equated with abortion rights by the Dems, but the security moms (e.g. married women with children) don't agree on average. They didn't agree with Dem policy on homeland security, either.

The Dems need to really, really examine their consciences. Zell Miller looks like John the Baptist today, replete with locusts and wild honey.

I would agree that "Bush Supreme Court" isn't the most frightening phrase in Gillmor's apocalyptic vision, but not because I relish a Chief Justice Scalia. I'm just more worried about the shot in the arm that American Imperialism just received. The extra momentum likely to be added to our country's widening income gap. And the aggressive language of some states' defense of marriage legislation has many gays rightly anxious that even *more* assaults on their rights may be in the offing. And don't get me started on the environment.

I was worried about America on November 3,1994. I don't think it's hyperbolic to worry for the world today.

And the aggressive language of some states' defense of marriage legislation has many gays rightly anxious that even *more* assaults on their rights may be in the offing.

Would those states include Oregon, John?

From up close down here in Georgia, Zell looks more like Judas. All he has in common with John the Baptist is the B.O. Sorry to be hateful, but I don't like backstabbing.

Adamsj, if you recall, Judas sold Christ out for a bag of coin.

Miller told the DNC that they were hopelessly out of touch, and ignoring their base years ago. They gleefully ignored him. He was stabbed in the back for it by his own party.

So your analogy doesn't work for me.

Hey, Daniel,

Zell Miller did some genuinely good things as governor, and both the Democratic Party and citizens of Georgia generally benefited. His party appointed him to a U.S. Senate seat, and he paid them back by going on television at the convention of their opposition and lied systematically about what they and their candidate said. That's a backstab by any standards.

But let me adopt the Bush spirit of compromise on this: I'll relegate Zell Miller to the ninth circle of hell, and you can go see that he's put into Lucifer's mouth feet first.

Deal?

P.S. About that bag of coin--you figure the appearance helped the sales of Zell's new book?

Just so it's not misinterpreted, Daniel, if you do make that trip, my plan was to send Virgil along with you. The idea wasn't to leave you stuck there--just to see justice done to Zell.

Loading the courts will make America more and more different relatively quickly. Along with the issue of the Supremes, Bush reminded Americans of two things the other day ... he now has what he calls "political capital" and he IS going to spend it, and he appointed 200 federal court judges in his firs 4 years ... expect at least as many more in the next 4.

This would equal between 30 and 40% of all federal court judges, if I understand correctly.

It is of course essential to keep talking, to understand, analyze and make decisions about what to do, but the hijacking of your country continues in real time and in broad daylight.

And cleaning up after the hijacking is over will take decades.

In addition to the three frightening words, I'll add one frightening name for 2008--Jeb Bush.
