“KABUL, Afghanistan — Under the cover of a benign government information-gathering program, a Defense Department official set up a network of private contractors in Afghanistan and Pakistan to help track and kill suspected militants, according to military officials and businessmen in Afghanistan and the United States.”

Profit seeking Americans doing God’s work in the way He intended it to be done … as part of free market private enterprise doing the jobs government can’t do.

Better yet, the Pentagon may have lost track of as much as $1 trillion. $1 trillion smackeroos. And where did this $1 trillion go, you ask? Yes!! Right into the pockets of profit seeking businessmen trying to make an honest living and hire a lot of unemployed Americans.

But then he goes and spoils it all by saying something stupid like this, that or the other one (plenty of examples all over the blog). I suspect the stupid stuff is just for fun - trolling to see the righteous lefties take the bait. Maybe the drink drives him to it. Leave the really brain-dead comments for Goliath, Jared, Jerry, Blissful and Daddio, flap - you can get just as many laughs watching us over-react to them without running the risk of us simply ignoring your genuine contributions.

With very few exceptions, they're completely incapable of comedy, and only succeed in coming off as vile, heartless, bigoted, and ignorant. Of course, that's what they sound like ALL the time, so… As Dan Riehl so clearly showed, conservatives really shouldn’t attempt humor or satire.

I always suspected that this is how the "Originalists" determine the "intent" of the framers on which they base their decisions. Roberts, Aliton., Scalia, and Thomas sitting around in a darkened room, their hands on a little table, waiting for it to levitate. Roberts intones, "Madison, are you there? If you are, give us a sign!" Suddenly, they hear a knock. Roberts continues: "O ghost of Madison, tell us how we should rule in the Citizens United case. We want to rule for the corporations, but we don't have a strong case, because money isn't really a free speech issue. Knock twice if your intent was to give corporations complete control of our democracy." Knock. Knock. Alito: "There, Gentlemen, we know the intent of the founders." They withdraw to write their ridiculous ruling. None of the others have figured out yet that Scalia's been knocking his knee against the table all this time. “Seance in the Supreme Court?”

Suddenly, they hear a knock.

Can you point out Alan's words of criticism, in the above post, please? I am a white women and when I read this thread and saw the picture, I didn't even notice, that she was of a different race then I am. When you see a picture, Flap, or someoneone on T.V, do you always register, in your mind, if someone is black, white or brown? Oh Good Lord Flap!
