Subject: RE: Conservative Cavalry Round Five !!!! From: InOBU Date: 23 Jan 01 - 09:01 AM Well... to bring cheep whiskey and trolls' post into focus, if psooble.... I understand our old pal Chalrlton "the gulf war is a war the Dr. Martin Luthor King Jr. would support" Heston, the man who wants to put a gun in every hand... has a drinking problem. Seems to me, I was always taught by my father, who taught me to fence at the age of four or five, that edged steel goes away when the bottle comes out... seems like a good policey for firearms as well. As to Rush Limpbow (gee, is that Larry's bad spelling or a social comment????) becoming press sec. I think that would be a great idea... it would highlight the genneral idiosy of the present administration. As to the minority of protestors, the majority already spoke, we voted for Gore. deep breath... All the best to all Larry |

Subject: RE: Conservative Cavalry Round Five !!!! From: Skeptic Date: 23 Jan 01 - 07:12 AM I suggest that "Live Free or Die" would make a better national motto than "In God we Trust". Antecedents of the former notwithstanding, it demands personal accountability while the latter seems to imply that the spirt in the sky'll fix everything and we (as individuals) just gotta sit back and do nothing. Which a lot do well already which explains a lot. Uncle Jaque, Executive Orders don't require legislative or judicial review. Nor, per the constitution, do presidential pardons, for that matter. Executive Orders are a tool long used by Presidents of all persuasions to speed implementation of some legislation passed by Congress or an interpretation of the law by the Courts. They are not making new law or bypassing anything but the tedious process of implementing regulations in the Federal Register. I think Clinton went overboard but he acted within the constitutional boundaries of his office. Hardly imperial. Making sure no protestors were allowed to mar the inauguration strikes me as far more Imperial. I suppose I should console myself that at least they weren't rounded up and carted off to a holding camp somewhere. JFK Stadium comes to mind. Did I miss something in GWB's speech? Sounded like the usual bland, feel-good stuff to me. Full of sound and fury and signifying nothing. McGrath, Good for Belgium. Like the idea or not, at least they've put it on the table and rubbed everyone's face in it. GWB will probably cut off aid, close the embassy and not invite their ambassador to any cookouts. Does make you wonder what the accepted appertif will be at the Belgian Embassy soirees though. Alex, (From round four) Congress put the censorship thing in but Clinton didn't veto it. Sorry if I wasn't clear. The price of passing the budget maybe? troll and others A true gentleman could never conceive (except theoretically) of the existence of cheap whiskey. Let alone discuss it.

Subject: RE: Conservative Cavalry Round Five !!!! From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 23 Jan 01 - 05:31 AM Well, since my post started with a quote from an earlier post, it wasn't starting no thread drift.
A gentleman would drink cheap whiskey himself so as to save the good whiskey for his guests. So for that matter would a lady.
And doesn't "live free or die" originally refer to defending the right of the citizens of BNew Hampshire to make whiskey? Can we assume that the compassionate conseervaruives are going to roll back restrictive legislation in things like that. Talking of which - how about this? And they make great chocolates and beer as well.

Subject: RE: Conservative Cavalry Round Five !!!! From: GUEST,Thom M. at work Date: 23 Jan 01 - 01:49 AM New Hampshire is "Live Free or Die" And speaking of pardons Jacque, let us not forget "Promise me a pardon and I'll make you President Ford".So don't be so quick to grab the high ground. Thom |

Subject: RE: Conservative Cavalry Round Five !!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 23 Jan 01 - 01:21 AM Oh, come now, Jaques...Bill Clinton couldn't possibly be that bad. If he were a Republican you'd love him. The world is probably more subjective than any of us would care to admit most of the time. Being a Democrat or a Republican means never having to say you're sorry...(about badmouthing the other guys). 2,000 years ago (approximately) people were getting all worked up like this over Marc Marc Antony and Augustus. They got over it, but they managed to kill a lot of people first. I guess we've made some progress after all in these semi-enlightened times. - LH |

Subject: RE: Conservative Cavalry Round Five !!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 23 Jan 01 - 01:06 AM Actually, I think it was YOUR grandma's bed, Spaw...wasn't it? BTW, you know that state where the license plates say "LIVE FREE OR DIE"???? Is it Vermont? What I can't figure out is...why haven't they all croaked over there? They place was full of live people the last time I drove through, and I'm quite sure most of them were full time residents...and probably Republicans to boot. Well, they shouldn't put that stuff on their license plates if they don't mean it. - LH |

Subject: RE: Conservative Cavalry Round Five !!!! From: Uncle Jaque Date: 23 Jan 01 - 01:03 AM MAV is back from DC; had a wonderful albiet cold & wet time. He related how the "protesters" were a distinct minority and did not seem to be getting much sympathy from the crowd - or the local Gendarmarie! MAV was with a group sponsored by the Washington Times Newspaper, which I understand is an "Alternative" (to the Liberal dominant "mainstream press" that is) publication, considering opening a branch here in Maine. I'm looking forward to it. Might even be an opportunity to branch out into journalizim - whaddaye think? How about that innauguration speech? Now that was NOT your typical one-size-fits-all middle-of-the-road, don't-rock the-boat (or offend anybody) milktoast and banannas make-em-all-smile political blather we usually hear, was it? Kind of like bagpipe music; yer gonna love it or hate it with a certain level of passion, in most cases. (I don't know too many people who are "iffy" or "take-it-or-leave-it" about bagpipes... or Rush Limbaugh either, for that matter.) You might hate his gutz, but at least "W" lets us know on no uncertain terms just where he's coming from and what he's about, right up front! I rather admire that kind of conviction and fortitude! As to my crack about "Emperor" Klinton: those 63 pages or so of Executive orders, edicts, and proclamations (not to mention the pardons of many of his criminal cronies) spewed out of the White House in the last week or so did not go through the Constitutional process of legislative review, were completely devoid of representative oversight or approval, or even Judicial process, for that matter. This is a strategy expected of a monarch, despot, dictator, or EMPEROR... NOT a leader of a free Republic who holds himself in any way accountable to the People... or to God. If any of you enlightened Scholars out there can find credible evidence of any Republican in U.S. history even approaching this precident of Emperial edict, I'd be interested to know of it. Until then, I stand by my assessment sans appology, thank you very much. Say, you like Ashcroft so much; have they announced who's gonna be Press Secretary yet? You're gonna love "Rush" even better! (he was absent from his radio show without explanation Thursday - meeting with the "Boss"?) Presidential Advisor Charlton Heston; now that has a nice ring to it! Wayne LaPierre might make a good Ambasador to the U.N., dont'cha think? We note with a certain modicum of delight the belated but no less joyous announcement of the birth of "Revuruund" Jessie Jackson's bouncing baby bastard last week. Such impeccible timing - not unlike the revelation of G.W. Bush's scrape with the law 25 years or so prior, being shouted from the rooftops and from every front page and TV news pundit 3 days before the election. This may not balance the equasion completely... but it's a step in the right direction. By the way, where was the Revruund (I use that term rather loosly, as he is decidedly NOT one of my "Spiritual Leaders" nor do I recognize or respect him as a legitimate Minister of the Gospel - Sort of like "Jimmy & Tammy-Faye" Baker of PTL infamy) during the innauguration? Wasn't he supposed to be leading hoardes of the "disenfranchised" through the streets demanding that "every vote count" (except, of course, for the Military overseas absentee ballotts, or the Cuban - American communities in Miami Dade - who did not forget Elian Gonzalez quite as quickly as they were supposed to, or the thousands of uncounted Military absentee ballotts in California...)?? Where is your hero Algore? Last I heard he was seen driving towards Virginia, looking rather grim and sullen. Where shall we heare from him next? "Ya-all waant friaaaaahs with thayet?" Hold the pickles, Al! |

Subject: RE: Conservative Cavalry Round Five !!!! From: Troll Date: 22 Jan 01 - 08:44 PM Sir, A gentleman would never serve cheap whiskey if he could afford better. It were preferable to miss a meal than to drink cheap whiskey and it is a choice that any gentleman would instantly make. Cheap whiskey does have its place but that place is not in a crystal decanter on a gentlemans sideboard. But I am sure that you knew this already. troll |

Subject: RE: Conservative Cavalry Round Five !!!! From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 22 Jan 01 - 08:08 PM lot of taxpayers money to spend to fix a system that "wasn't broken"
I rather understood that it was well and truly fixed last month. I suppose the investment is to make sure it remains fixed for the next time it's needed. |

Subject: RE: Conservative Cavalry Round Five !!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Jan 01 - 06:41 PM And furthermore, your whole approach has definite fascist overtones, coupled with a complete lack of respect for logic, social responsibility, common decency, and mutual tolerance. You, sir, are WRONG, DEAD WRONG, and I look forward to the day when you and your ilk are driven forever from the hallowed halls of both justice and legislation, in this, my beloved country! Not to mention driven from this thread... - LH |
