		<description>Jackie is a walking idiot. A person who writes one thing and totally forgets it five minutes later. Jackie, I can&#039;t go to hell.

Jackie the idiot wrote: Nowhere in any post by me was there mention of the Pope, Catholic Church or anyone’s martial status.

REALLY? CAUSE YOU WROTE THIS TROLL!!!!!

When you die and stand before St. Peter, DON’T EVEN GET YOUR HOPES UP!!!!! You know that he is keeping score and it appears to me that your score is under water; just get in line for the train that is heading to hell!

Did further research concerning my use of St. Peter and your challenge relative to St. Peter being in the Bible.

Notice how she wrote &quot;MY USE OF ST.PETER.&quot;

Maybe Jackie should spend more time reading her crap before she denies what she wrote.</description>

		<description>&quot;I like this woman maybe she should run for VP with Sara as President..&quot;

LOL what drug are you partying with Churchill. Twit Palin had her run.  She doesn&#039;t see the light of day for national office in your lifetime or your grandchildrens or hers.

Republicans are stupid, but whatever idiot they run won&#039;t be as unprepared as she is.  They&#039;ll probably run some fat white idiot like Barber.</description>

Obama has turned into something worse than Bush  (Obusha) when it comes to being a coward afraid to try people and bring charges against them when they think they&#039;ve done something criminal in order to covere up the longstanding totruter that yielded nothing factual in the cases.</description>

		<description>Jackie--

&lt;em&gt;How would you know who the Dems are pissing off if you did not fit into one of those categories?&lt;/em&gt;

You seem to think I&#039;m hiding about what pisses me off.  I&#039;m not. I&#039;ve been perfectly explicit.  And as to what pisses off other dems, it&#039;s all over the news media, blogs, essays, you name it.  It&#039;s not a secret, and what pisses me off hasn&#039;t been a secret.  In contrast to all these nutcases who are obsessed about whether someone is an MD or like to cuss people out the way they did when they were 5 and first learned the words, I&#039;ve tried to stick to issues and haven&#039;t been shy about taking positions (above saying what Obama was doing that I don&#039;t like and many progressive dems don&#039;t like.  I could not be clearer or more open.   You seem to think I&#039;m hiding my position or something else--I can&#039;t understand your question at all.

I don&#039;t understand your question comically and whackily posted in the tone of an angry cross examining AUSA or ADA.  I&#039;m not sure what you mean.  I said what I don&#039;t like--I know that everything I don&#039;t like as far as DOJ is being challenged in court with various organizations who voted for Obama because they hated Bush and wouldn&#039;t touch Twit and McCain, but disagree with his legal positions.

It&#039;s hardly as if I&#039;m hiding anything here. I try to be specific about major issues and stances where the Obama administration is equivocating or waffling that make a lot of Dem progressives unhappy.  I don&#039;t know what language is your first language but I was pretty explicit--I&#039;m not happy with Geithner and Summers, I&#039;m not happy with the prospect that Obama may abandon a public health option in the Conference Committee--much is being written about that this week and will be next week.  I find it absolutely mind boggling that 2 bloggers who are constitutional law profs who hated Bush specifically Marty Lederman from Georgetown law and Dave Barron from Harvard are running OLC that makes filing policy for DOJ on the big issues---torture, wiretapping, holding individuals indefinitely with no charges just to say Gitmo has been closed.  Dawn Johnsen settled in D.C. 3 weeks ago and she would not take the job if Rahm and White House Counsel Greg Craig (who architected defense of Clinton&#039;s impeachment from Williams and Connelly and gave the Clinton&#039;s a love shack when they were law students at Yale).  Johnsen is not about to take orders from Rahm or Craig as to what stance DOJ should take in a case, and Barron and Lederman hated the Bush briefs and stances so that is hard to figure out.

Jackie asked, and I don&#039;t understand the question because I&#039;m not hiding my positions and what progressives don&#039;t like is all over the public media:

&lt;em&gt;How would you know who the Dems are pissing off if you did not fit into one of those categories?&lt;/em&gt;

This may be a novel surprise to you Jackie but some of us read a hell of a lot--papers, magazines, and blogs.  So I know the Blue Dog dems piss off a lot of people because they act like recalcitant pubtards who are support anything that will obstruct the dems.  I know that Pelossi and Rockerfeller and a number of Senators and House people who have taken Bush positions in areas like illegal wiretapping have lied about it for years.

I simply tried above to point out a few things that piss me off about Obama and I was pretty explicit that they piss ME off--I&#039;m not speaking for any group of dems although generally I can tell you that Obama&#039;s appellate filings that I&#039;ve been exlicit about are pissing off a whole lot of progressives who are Dems almost all of them.

How would I know who the Dems are pissing off.  There is a long answer as far as I&#039;m concerned, and 


I&#039;ve been very straight up about a number of things that piss me off and you could categorize me as a progressive although I wouldn&#039;t fit into any pigeon hole and there&#039;s no way I&#039;d fit into the broad brush strokes that the reading challenged here try to paint for anyone who&#039;s not &quot;with them&quot;, i.e. a whackjob who thinks Palin would make a great President or any of the other Republican dead men walking.

&lt;strong&gt;Dems defeat Pubtardicans on House Energy Bill Wooten cried about 219-212.&lt;/strong&gt;

Some called it &quot;cap and trade&quot; including Wooten, and others called it the energy or global warming bill and it fell short of what a lot of people wanted including European countries.

Jim Wooten opposed it, and he had company with some environmental groups who said it didn&#039;t go far enough including Greenpeace.

Pubtards called it an &quot;energy tax.&quot;  If this country had any sense they&#039;d impose a gas tax to ween idiots off gas guzzlers but they won&#039;t.</description>

		<description>I drive the connector every day.  My morning commute to Marietta is a breeze and my afternoon commute to Poncey-Highlands is a flat-out nightmare.  I tried going in late and leaving late but when gridlock persists past 7PM most nights, forget it.  It&#039;s actually better at 5PM before the idiots on cellphones start ramming each other.

I estimate that it would take me at least 2 hours to use the current pathetic mass transit system (I&#039;d have to switch to a CCT bus to get where I need to go).  Atlanta needs an overall mass transit plan that does not rely on the concept of always being able to pave enough lanes (or in this case levels) to carry the massive volume of traffic.  It makes life in Atlanta miserable to deal with it every day.  I put some of this on myself when I chose to live intown, but anyone who has to rely on the connector every day for afternoon commuting is basically screwed by our feckless and useless politicians.  Sonny is THE WORST governor we&#039;ve had in the 2 decades I&#039;ve lived in Georgia.  He&#039;s an embarrassment.</description>

		<description>Y&#039;all, the Bible was a political book put together at the two Councils of Nicea, by the pagan Pope Constantine.  They even voted to settle the question; was Christ divine on earth or only after his death and rising.
It was a close vote, but you know the rest.  They even desided which books went into the Bible and, it is rumored (no proof from me but I believe it), pronounced Mary Magdalene a &quot;woman of ill repute&quot; instead of Christ&#039;s wife because they didn&#039;t want to give women that kind of status.  remember that Constantine was trying to take power through the use of Christianity.  Look it up...Just sayin&#039;</description>
