And voters have a right and a duty to know which direction our owners are taking us.

Yeah...that'll teach Progressives that we needed Joe Hill and Mother Jones as President and not Obama.
and...oh: it's ok to use racial slurs ("Oreo") when the slur's slung from Progressives?
You guys really do deserve 4 to 8 of a misogynist such as Santorum who wants to upend the New Deal.
I don't deserve that, so I'm voting for a (God Forbid!) imperfect Obama.
And he'll win, too.
The president’s hosts include Ralph Schlosstein, chief executive officer at Evercore Partners Inc., and his wife, Jane Hartley, co-founder of the economic and political advisory firm Observatory Group LLC, who were assured last week by Jim Messina, Obama’s campaign manager, that the president won’t demonize Wall Street in his re-election pursuit.
The $35,800-per-person dinner at ABC Kitchen, the first of the evening’s four fundraising events, is being hosted by many of Obama’s top Wall Street donors, according to a person familiar with the matter.
I hope you learned your lesson about questioning my integrity!
I see.
I'm sorry...how did I miss the obvious: the president is Eichmann incarnate.
Enjoy, fellas... and gals... ... ...
If you've evidence of this administration engaging in torture, send it along, or post it here.
And I wish all of you luck under a Repub administration.
Here's the truth--the only reason you guys feel ok w this position is bc you know the president's going to win; you've actually little to lose in this self-absorbed nonsense.
First, have no doubt I'm slaughtering civilians around the world - as is my primary duty. Killing dozens of children with drone strikes makes feel really powerful!
And what's wrong with a little torture? Of course, I don't want to get my own hands dirty so I still outsource it just like the great patriot Bushy did. Good enough for him, good enough for me!
And you are right: anyone who concerns himself with such things concerns himself with complete nonsense. And I know you don't say that just because you know your child will not be blown to bits and your friends will not be hooded and tortured and - most importantly - your life is not on the line.
Thank God the lives of non-Americans don't count! Without patriots like you Mr. Wolfman I'd be sunk!

Article 16 is the interesting part.
Since some folks think I accused Obama's people of torture, let me say I didn't (although I could have). The crime lies in not prosecuting torturers (Bush, et al).
It's time for real Democrats to open their eyes and realize their party is no longer what they think it is.

As phony as a three dollar bill.
Peter,You are on a roll here with one devastatingly great post after the other. Please keep cranking them out.
I wonder how the wolf man would dance around the issue raised vin Bobbet's column of today:
"I am really disturbed and disheartened by this attitude of endless war, that it's ok to blow up brown and black and yellow people remotely by push button in the name of fighting terrorism. Is it a waste of time? What would be the consequences if we didn't say something? Wouldn't we be thought and judged complicit as the Germans who said nothing when their neighbors were rounded up and sent to concentration camps?"
