Mexican War reversed?

It appears that Sonia Sotomayor will soon be confirmed justice of the Supreme Court. Look for her to promptly rally the court to rule that the military test known as the Mexican War, where the Mexican firefighters were outnumbered and overmatched, was fundamentally unfair.

Declaring Mexico the winner and further declaring the land between current Mexico and Canada to be the newest Mexican state will solve the immigration problem at the same time.

Oh Deseret News.

Really? This is where you're at? At least there is no shortage of fodder, I suppose.

No, but seriously: Thank you, letter writer - Rob Robinson. Hiiiiiilarious. Yes, I'm sure that if she is confirmed that she will single-handedly "rally" the court to take up an imaginary case which will effectively lop off a fourth of the United States of America and return it to California. I mean, of course she will. Of course this will happen. It's naive to think it won't, really.

Republicans, I think this one belongs to you. Will you please do something with him? He's making you look bad.

Well, worse.

I've been largely inactive lately, but I still receive e-mail's with comments and such from people who stumble across old DS posts which just get them so worked up that they can't help but post a comment on a year old post. Here's one from this article which got commented yesterday, along with my response:

DS wouldn't even leave his name.

How is the Gay community inflicting their personal and gay beliefs on our religious community? Just look out your window. No they haven't prohibited traditional marriage. But, even after losing a vote on same sex unions, a large group cry, they protest, they sue, they threaten. They are mean and nasty. They are no better than two-year olds who don't get their way. Same-sex marriage is not a "right" that has been taken away. Someday they may get their life style legitimized. Let's hope if they do, it's not through the terrorism tactics currently used by some.

Mark

*looks out window* Yes! My God! There are homosexuals everywhere accosting traditional marriage! I can see them from the crack in the blinds which I've opened just barely enough so that gay people don't otherwise notice I'm here and try to convert me to homosexuality! (I live in constant fear of this) How did I not see this before??

*rolls eyes* Oh, and yes, your bravery posting under "anonymous" but signing it "Mark" is shameful to me and bloggers everywhere who use pen names. Here, as a gesture of respect, in light of your courageous signage, let me say for all to hear, that my name is "James." *shivers* It feels good. It feels damn good. Thank you for breaking those walls down and calling me out over it.

As far as your bizarre, inane comments: I see you follow in the loving footsteps of Sen. .. what's his name... You know, that bigot who hates people who aren't like him.. Oh yeah, Buttars.

Name me a terrorism tactic that the gay community is using. Name one with a straight face and then relate it to any actual act of terrorism that any person with even the slightest shred of rationality might consider to be an act of terrorism. The reason why you and others are trying to justify your hatred and bigotry by equating gay activism with terrorism and destruction, is because there is really no good argument to try and deny homosexuals the same rights that you, as a heterosexual, closeted as you may be, enjoy.

If religious unions were outlawed by some majority, you would be screaming and crying and ranting and protesting your heart out, so spare me your condescension and accusations towards the gay community that they would respond poorly to a vote which is inherently demeaning and prejudicial.

DS

er..

The most celebrated wind bag of our time. Watch this interview, he is pretty much wrong on everything he says about where our economy was headed. If he can't the basics right why should we trust him on the ideas to educate our children.

Watching this clip today it appears that McCain is having second thoughts on what he has created.



This is what happens when Republicans appeal to lowest common denominator in society. I hope McCain continues to raise the level of civility in this election, not only because he is also an honorable man but because whoever is elected president will need all Americans working together to move this country forward. We need to be united again, I am going to support the person that looks most able to do that.

Drum roll please...Alaska is close to Russia. Wow, you seriously can not make this stuff up.



Oh and Palin stopped over at Ireland once too for refueling. Evidently that counts too as foreign relations in Republican fantasy land. Another McCain/Palin LIE! This is getting beyond stupid.

I haven't bought Prof. Krugman's book yet watching him this week destroy Republican ideology that got us in this mess has been amazing.





Krugman also has a pretty good blog that I follow pretty closely - http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com

What does 28 thousand dollars buy? Evidently a Congressman minus a soul. Morgan lays out who he will be working for.



Awesome job Morgan. Bishop has stopped working for us a long time ago.

Keith Olbermann discusses Fox News' increasing use of "push polls" to influence public opinion during polling. I'm shocked - Shocked! - that they would do such a thing.

It is not the job of the President to interpret the law, and it is not within his authority to rewrite it based upon some insane notion of the Unitary Executive. He has one - and only one - Constitutional authority granted to him in this arena, which is a Presidential veto.

The sheer number of Constitutional infractions by President Bush is dizzying and the damage he has done to this Country and the principles it was founded upon will last for generations.
