#3 It's not a swamp - it's wet land.

#4 It's not a swamp - it's wet land lol! Now that's beating them at their own game. I guess they will just have to live with the smarmy mess - but then, they seem to like doing that.

#5 Pelosi makes me want to puke, but then so do most other Democrats. We're headed for another Civil War except this time it will be Spanish Civil War style. The Right will win this time, too, and Pelosi will probably end up in France just like the Spanish Commies did.

#6 If the "Spanish" variant comes into play, France will get nuked if it takes in any of the fleeing scumbags, as will any other country offering them refuge. If the US does ever split like that, the result will be slaughter and mayhem of biblical proportions, due to the social pressures and tensions that have built up over the years.

#7 All the days after that: "Pay as you go," meaning no increasing the deficit, whether the issue is middle class tax relief, health care or some other priority.

.com correctly called this passage a lie, and it is also worth noting how deftly the writer expresses Pelosi's intent on raising taxes by calling a tax increase the issue of "middle class tax relief...."

BTW this writer has been accussed a lot of left wing bias in his reportage, and it show with this feature.

#15 There won't be any Civil War. If you look at the 2004 election map of the US (by county), even the blue states have small islands of blue in a sea of red. The blue islands are cities. If the LLLs ever try to secede, we'll be able to just starve them out. (Don't forget, the military is 85% red)

#16 Seriously, GORT. I am not my gender, ethnicity, or demographic. But Dems reject the individual, and see only vote-bots defined by abstract socioeconomic data. That's how leftists treat us as college students, as "news consumers," and as citizens. Piss. Me. Off. Anyone who votes for holier-than-thou petty tyrant shitbags like these deserves a sharp kick in the nads.

If there ever is a civil war in the US it won't be just Red vs Blue. The Blues will get plenty help from outside. Think about it. It's your enemies' wet dream.

Can we assume that you'll be following that up with a strongly worded letter?

They already are getting such aid, in the form of money, press support and other help. If this goes to open violence, the floodgates will indeed open I suspect. And I am not at all sure the authorities will use force to end it while they still are able to do so.

We have what? 5000 linear miles of undefended borders?

#20 Feeling pessimistic, Ms. Lotp?
Right now, I have tv in the background, with lci all-night live coverage the "nuits blanches" parisian bobo festival, from the heavily islamized "Goutte d'or" Paris area.
Leitmotiv of this festival is, you guessed it, the "métissage" (interbreeding, in the cultural sense here), with arab and african "modern artists" presenting their performances on this very topic one after the other... and in the commercial, what is the Mozart CD we're offered? "Mozart the egyptian", Ie Mozart arranged middle-east style.
I'm not very upbeat too. I'll switch to Cartoon Network, watching Bugs Bunny or Johnny Bravo in english will cheer me up.

#21 It's a shame when something that once was pretty good dies. It's time to bury the carcass, and the maggots feeding on it. The REAL Democratic party is dead. In its place is the most socialistic, dictatorial piece of crap ever seen in the United States. I think I'll make another hundred darts for my crossbow - I think I'll need 'em.

x-Jag, don't forget body counts and the coffin photos the donks have an affinity for. Hell, let's not consider the mission, right donks?

#24 Feeling pessimistic, Ms. Lotp?

Not entirely, no.

But I do think the point is valid that if a civil war breaks out in the US, the left will have millions of bodies swarming our borders to help, and other countries may well provide tacit if not overt aid to them as well.

#26 I take that back. Yes, I am pessimistic.

Despite the size of the Muslim world, the West could deal with the Islmofascists easily if there were any real will to do so.

It is the lack of that will in so many that has me pessimistic.

RE: domestic politics,

her political apprenticeship dates to childhood, when her father was mayor of Baltimore.


Not exactly a shining beacon of civic rectitude, the Bal'mer city government. I didn't know of her connection before but it explains a lot about her attitudes and actions.

A Dem-controlled government would come down on the side of preventing you/us from preventing the swarm, I think.

Ack. I need to go exercise or something and not dwell on the election possibilities for the moment.

I'm not a registered Republican, but I am hoping and praying that the Dems do not seize control of Congress this year. I haven't felt this strongly about an election in decades.

#28 the originator of civilian-enforcement at the border was the mid 90's effort here in San Diego: "Light Up The Night". Multitudes of citizens fed up with the inaction of the Fed Gov't on the border drove their vehicles and with their headlights, illuminated the flood coming across. This shamed the Feds and local BP's to take it seriously enough. We need to keep this oversight up. Dem or Rep, it's a permanent election issue for the next 50 yrs. "how do you stand, Congressman/Senator, and what about 'these' votes?"

#29 Rest easy. It's not going to happen. It's just that the MSM wants it to happen so badky that they spend all their time convincing us it will. And it seems as if they are right whenb that's all we hear day in day out. But those who vote will be voting trunk again this year. Not that they deserve the power; but only that not enough voting Americans are stupid enough to elect donks instead.

Low unemployment, falling gas prices, falling deficit, global warming over. What are the positive issues the donks will win on? None, as Pelosi's rant reveals.
