This afternoon, America transitioned, proudly the mantel of governance in a historical way. Showing all ,our diversity and inclusiveness by having a civil transition of political party power. Yet most of all, opening a new window on the American Political landscape by having, elected by her peers in the House by 233 votes to 202, oddly, wink wink, right down part lines, the First Woman Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi who is but two heart beats way from being President.

At the same time, another venue of inclusiveness was opened when the nations First Muslim was sworn in to the House using ceremonially the word of Islam, the Qoran, and poetically done on a translated version of it owned by Thomas Jefferson. His name is Keith Ellison, a African American Democrat from Minnesota, who was born in Detroit and later converted to Islam.



Today, once again, the United States of America has proven its true metal as the land of the Free, where all voices are heard, and, not shouted down for merely being disagreeable to those who see character in deriding others in name calling hyperbolic over-estrogen alarmist’s quackery of doom and gloom while spewing absurdities of Hitler-ist’s brown shirt governance.

Today, the Americans have proven, though ardently divided on many issues, as is actually customary and usual. We are in the up most proudly Americans first. Citizens of a Republican form of Democracy, who stands by the voices of the electoral democracy and the rule of law, allowing the power of Governance to be decided and transferred in civility and decorum. Yet, as many here in clear paradox, not remotely by the mentality of minorities of dissenters, nor by voices of radicalism, nor by the innate insanity of the street mobs, nor by authoritarian rule as many lampoon here, with guns and or tanks in streets, as is the case in much if not most of the world. Instead, we transition power as a free willed people who grasp the our nation and its people can disagree and even be disagreeable among ourselves, but ultimately, we are afar from this hegemony of warmongering, Nazis typical, authoritarians, our resident moon-bats so harangue and rant about in their absurdness of self inadequacies.

Let the games begin…





TUM DII DAI DII, TUM CHUA DAI CHUA!



THA T
IS
ALL!

P.S. Also another first, The two Buddhist (.003% of 1%)both Democrats — Reps. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii and Hank Johnson of Georgia were for the First Time elected to Congress..

As to the religious make of both Houses of Congress. Roman Catholics remain the largest single faith group in Congress accounting for 29 percent of all members of the House and Senate . While Catholics in Congress are Democrats by a ratio of nearly 2-to-1 with two-thirds of all Catholic members being Democrats .

Come January,Methodists, Presbyterians and Episcopalians will account for just one-fifth (20%) of Congress, including 32 senators.

The most lopsidedly Democratic groups are Jews and those not affiliated with any religion. Of the 43 Jewish members of Congrress [U](8%)[U], there is only one Jewish Republican in the House, and there are two in the Senate.

Thusly 92% of all Jews in Congress are Democrats accounting for 8 percent in the new 110th Congress even as their share of the national population has waned (1.3 percent in 2001). But Jewish numbers in Congress also tend to fluctuate with Democratic fortunes. While the not afflitated with any religion group totals only 6 members,(.07of 1%). Yet in social polls this group is said to represent 14% of the popuation.

Baptists divide along partisan lines defined by race. Black Baptists, like all black members of Congress, are Democrats, while most white Baptists are Republicans, though there are two such notable exceptions 88 year old Senator Byrd the new President Pro Tem who is 3 heart beats away from the Presidency and Representatives Conyers.

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (12 Republicans and three Democrats) — though the top-ranking Mormon in the history of Congress will be Nevada Sen. Harry Reid, the new Democratic majority leader.

The strength and stability of our 230 plus year form of governance will assure a seemless transition of power, as it always has. However things are much differnt now. Up until the 60's and the rise of McGovernites and other assorted liberal druggies the parties were always on the same page when it came to national defence. Or at the very least they had the decorum and wisdom not to openly criticize our leaders choices in a time of war. This is not the case today. The party now in power has done everything legally possible to subvert and discredit our efforts in the WOT for the sole purpose of political gain, the countrys' welfare be damned. And now crunts Pelosi and Reid are vehemently opposing any options of increasing troops in Iraq. Instead they are taking the "cut and run" approach. The world has changed since 911 and yet these peaceniks seem to think the attack was an abberation. The dems simply fail to realize the we are in a war. We will win this war but only after the dems policies cost thousands, perhaps millions, of additional American civilian deaths. Only then will most voters wake up to the threat the world now faces.

The only threat the world is encountering is from the blood-sucking scums of the United States. They ruined a beautiful country like Iraq. Now these blood-sucking leeches of USA is aiming its ugly head toward Iran. How sad...how very sad indeed.

Hmmm?

Those d a m UGLY AMERICANS!!

Ureka!!! I get it. What you are really trying to say "in neo-progress-less PC speak" is;

POOR IRAN; “Hell, no, we won’t glow!
Hell, no, we won’t glow!”

What IS very sad is the fact that if the US had never existed you would not be in a position to spout your idealistic juvinile "we are the world" ignorant pablum. Fool.

Why make it completely irrelevant?

[quote]Or at the very least they had the decorum and wisdom not to openly criticize our leaders choices in a time of war.[/quote]

Even if they're horrifically and catastrophically wrong choices?

I mean, does Tom DeLay hate America?

-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)

"My job as majority leader is be supportive of our troops, try to have input as decisions are made and to look at those decisions after they're made ... not to march in lock step with everything the president decides to do."

[quote]This is not the case today[/quote]

Nor ten years ago:

Here's what Republicans said about Clinton and Kosovo


Why did they second-guess our commitment to freedom from genocide and demand that we cut and run?

"President Clinton is once again releasing American military might on a foreign country with an ill-defined objective and no exit strategy. He has yet to tell the Congress how much this operation will cost. And he has not informed our nation's armed forces about how long they will be
away from home. These strikes do not make for a sound foreign policy."

-Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA)

"No goal, no objective, not until we have those things and a compelling case is made, then I say, back out of it, because innocent people are going to die for nothing. That's why I'm against it."

-Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/5/99

"American foreign policy is now one huge big mystery. Simply put, the administration is trying to lead the world with a feel-good foreign policy."

-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)

"If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy."

-Karen Hughes, speaking on behalf of presidential candidate George W. Bush


Why did they demoralize our brave men and women in uniform?

"I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning...I didn't think we had done enough in the diplomatic area."

-Senator Trent Lott (R-MS)


"You think Vietnam was bad? Vietnam is nothing next to Kosovo."

-Tony Snow, Fox News 3/24/99


" Well, I just think it's a bad idea. What's going to happen is they're going to be over there for 10, 15, maybe 20 years"

-Joe Scarborough (R-FL)


"I'm on the Senate Intelligence Committee, so you can trust me and believe me when I say we're running out of cruise missles. I can't tell you exactly how many we have left, for security reasons, but we're almost out of cruise missles."

-Senator Inhofe (R-OK )

"I cannot support a failed foreign policy. History teaches us that it is often easier to make war than peace. This administration is just learning that lesson right now. The President began this mission with very vague objectives and lots of unanswered questions. A month later, these questions are still unanswered. There are no clarifiedrules of engagement. There is no timetable. There is no legitimate definition of victory. There is no contingency plan for mission creep. There is no clear funding program. There is no agenda to bolster our overextended military. There is no explanation defining what vital national interests are at stake. There was no strategic plan for war when the President started this thing, and there still is no plan today"

-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)

"I don't know that Milosevic will ever raise a white flag"

-Senator Don Nickles (R-OK)

"Explain to the mothers and fathers of American servicemen that may come home in body bags why their son or daughter have to give up their life?"

-Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/6/99


Why didn't they support our president in a time of war?


"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is."

-Governor George W. Bush (R-TX)


"This is President Clinton's war, and when he falls flat on his face, that's his problem."

-Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN)

"The two powers that have ICBMs that can reach the United States are Russia and China. Here we go in. We're taking on not just Milosevic. We can't just say, 'that little guy, we can whip him.' We have these two other powers that have missiles that can reach us, and we have zero defense thanks to this president."

-Senator James Inhofe (R-OK)


" You can support the troops but not the president"

-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)


"My job as majority leader is be supportive of our troops, try to have input as decisions are made and to look at those decisions after they're made ... not to march in lock step with everything the president decides to do."

-Senator Trent Lott (R-MS)


For us to call this a victory and to commend the President of the United States as the Commander in Chief showing great leadership in Operation Allied Force is a farce"
-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)


Why did they blame America first?

Bombing a sovereign nation for ill-defined reasons with vague objectives undermines the American stature in the world. The international respect and trust for America has diminished every time we casually let the bombs fly."

-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)


"Once the bombing commenced, I think then Milosevic unleashed his forces, and then that's when the slaughtering and the massive ethnic cleansing really started"

-Senator Don Nickles (R-OK)

"
Clinton's bombing campaign has caused all of these problems to explode"

-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)


"America has no vital interest in whose flag flies over Kosovo's capital, and no right to attack and kill Serb soldiers fighting on their own soil to preserve the territorial integrity of their own country"

-Pat Buchanan ®


"These international war criminals were led by Gen. Wesley Clark ...who clicked his shiny heels for the commander-in-grief, Bill Clinton."

-Michael Savage


"This has been an unmitigated disaster ... Ask the Chinese embassy. Ask all the people in Belgrade that we've killed. Ask the refugees that we've killed. Ask the people in nursing homes. Ask the people in hospitals."

-Representative Joe Scarborough (R-FL)


"It is a remarkable spectacle to see the Clinton Administration and NATO taking over from the Soviet Union the role of sponsoring "wars of national liberation. "

-Representative Helen Chenoweth (R-ID)


"America has no vital interest in whose flag flies over Kosovo's capital, and no right to attack and kill Serb soldiers fighting on their own soil to preserve the territorial integrity of their own country"

-Pat Buchanan (R )


"By the order to launch air strikes against Serbia, NATO and President Clinton have entered uncharted territory in mankind's history. Not even Hitler's grab of the Sudetenland in the 1930s, which eventually led to WW II, ranks as a comparable travesty. For, there are no American interests whatsoever that the NATO bombing will
either help, or protect; only needless risks to which it exposes the American soldiers and assets, not to mention the victims on the ground in Serbia."

This is what we call pejorative and it's not a good thing when it's not backed up with, y'know, facts.

[quote]And now crunts Pelosi and Reid are vehemently opposing any options of increasing troops in Iraq. Instead they are taking the "cut and run" approach.[/quote]

And those ###### Democrats have gotten us stuck in this quagmire called Iraq!

[quote]The world has changed since 911[/quote]

Yes, more war, more terrorism, more White House secrecy, and more shredding of the Constitution.

[quote]and yet these peaceniks seem to think the attack was an abberation.[/quote]

But they supported the forgotten war in Afghanistan and enacted all 9/11 Commission reccomendations.

[quote]The dems simply fail to realize the we are in a war.[/quote]

Wow, you really hate Democrats!


[quote]We will win this war but only after the dems policies cost thousands, perhaps millions, of additional American civilian deaths. Only then will most voters wake up to the threat the world now faces.
[/quote]

Oh, you mean this:

[quote]We will win this war but only after the Bush Admin's policies cost thousands, perhaps millions, of additional American civilian deaths. Only then will most voters wake up to the threat the world now faces and vote Richardson/Vilsack in '08.
[/quote]

Over-all, given the verbosity of endless points, "my terrority", the ultimate point, our elitists who was not before he was, is making, wittingly or not, is the bird is but a bird, no matter the color of his feathers!

The lesson he does not dare address is;



Obviously, a wisdom, those thinking their right, who where really wrong, have yet to learn, that in leadership, the present and the morrow, has far more to do with "doing a thing right", than the past’s reliance on explaining what was done wrong.

Then leadership is not what is proven very right these days no matter the color of the bird. It is, in the end, just another of the same bird, is it not?

Can somebody pull a Robert Langdon and decode this for me?

whats a moonbat?

An insult used to describe Liberals and Democrats.

There is alway a tade of the drama queen in every de vinci-ism of moonbattery eh, comrade...

Yawn. Got anything of substance past the poetic polemics?

I can see why you are yawning, I would as well if I came from such long fast of failures only to find out just when I thought I had won what was so long denied me, I realize that in my universe of reality, oops, Defunct Air Americaism non-reality, I should say, I have only failed and really lost once again.

Lastly, Why should anyone here do or provide what you have not, beyond the usual Babylon disambiguation’s that are the status quo for the lost and not found crowd arisen from that Petri dish of “If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost; you can still call him vile names.” creation.

Tet Kalam Ingleezi?

Maf Hoom?

How about

"I'm the only one allowed to post long, off the point replies."

followed by a very insightful

"Same sh1t, different party" intended to justify the way in which all parties act differently in opposition to the way they do in governement.




better yet, post long irrelevant replies and avoid answering altogether... Now, which 'twit link' shall I use for this one?



Ana la tet kalam al Arabiah. Min Fain Inta? Ahhh, Wahad da ghee ga... google!!!

How about

"I'm the only one allowed to post long, off the point replies."

followed by a very insightful

"Same sh1t, different party" intended to justify the way in which all parties act differently in opposition to the way they do in governement. ( GOVERNMENT perhaps?) Feck, i am hoisted by my own petard! I am mortally wounded, let's hope he does not finish me off by posting a proper rebuttal.

better yet, post long irrelevant replies and avoid answering altogether... Now, which 'twit link' shall I use for this one?

[Indeed, 'twit' would be appropo, then again, huhh is far better... meh, could be better - avoiding the point is sooo last thread- I still have a chance

Ana la tet kalam al Arabiah. Min Fain Inta? Ahhh, Wahad da ghee ga... google!!!

it reads "I you don't speak arabic"? Perhaps you mean, Ana la atakallam al arabiah?" or simply "la atakallam al arabiah?"

Likewise, I thing you really mean, Min Fain Inta Ahhh, Wahab da ghee ga. I am sure. Then again meaning as in being, is not the game, is it? - Huzah, he chose to go the "my google is better than yours and I speak Arabic me" route.

I actually think my "I you" error may be the most accurate thing in this whole post - I am sure you have no knowledge of Arabic at all - say something else, impress me with your skills in using google - find me an Arabic phrase that has some actual wisdom to impart - or at least some relevance to the topic. Otherwise you may as well post 'parlez vous Anglais?' 'sprechen sie english' etc etc - using an online translator does not make you right.... or even smart for that matter

Let's see:

Al Franken- Popular radio show host, author, potential Senate candidate.
Al Gore- Presidential candidate, former Veep, successful moviemaker.
Hillary Clinton- Former First Lady, successful Senator, potential Presidential candidate.
Michael Moore- Bestselling book author, documentarian.

And on and on and on with the success, must really bother you, eh?

O, now that hurts,not!

Lets see, some reality, the only real success there among the moonbattery, not carried on the back of another's success, was Micheal Moore, scamming some 100 million from "intellectual Monbats" like perhaps you and then pulling a disappearing act of Houdini caliber to fatten up for next season's bate and switch of the usual guliable moonbatterry all the way to the money tree of moonbattery.[/B]

Let us count the successes thus far from the election;

1.) Guam and others in Pelosi districts now have full votes now.
2.) Ait Pelosi gets 22,000 per hour party plane.

3.) Jefferson a indicted Congresmen for bribery will get access to Homeland Security intelligence investigating his home district fraud thus uncovered at some 3 to 4 Billion in fraudlent payments for DEATH CITY.

4.) The Unionist back Minimum wage increase with NO small Business write off passed. Pelosi's new Guam voters and others exempted!

Oops, that failed, got the minimum wage and still Air Pelosi friends in Guam are exempted, but had to give the businesses it hurt tax breaks, Unionist not happy. ( Note Guam Tuna companies use enslaved labor from China and Asia in Processing plants, now that is a way forward for success hey?

4.) House voted to, just say NO to Iraq surge but did not mean it, Senate voted, to just say NO the the Democrat cut and runners..

5) Bush's FY 07 Budget passed intack.

6.) Nader to act a spoiler for Democrats if Hilsbeast nominated.

7.) Leberman not happy with Senate Demcrates may turn around majority, if harresments continue.

8.) Ethic reform voted, but small print shows it is now more toothless than ever.

shall I go on...

THAT IS ALL!!

I love when you guys whine and cry as soon as criticism on say, DeLay for ethics chargers is merely brought up, complaining of "You *whatever the next hip wingnut phrase one could muster enough nuerons to create* always say "Guilty until proven innocent" then you guys attack some doofus like Jeffereson as if he holds any meaningful chairmanship or high-level position in the majority party.

You hate Democrats, go you!

No go you, this far fringe of right to left’s doom-ism and nay, away from Democracy, to the hinterlands of your doom and nay, away I say to play or slay.

Whine, nay, o-child of nay, so you oafishly say, as if, it were not the mantle of pride in your kind, in their own hay day of dissent’s lament you have gladly lay.

It is a shame that one of such pretense has no idea what few plunders and swaggers lie ahead in this false victory of responsibility's supplement. To day, the voice of nay, failed to be heard, as compromise will the best that you likely bay, in hollowed victories, afar from ye utopia of so much nay. To the middle we all say lay, afar from far left and far right shall we all play that is the victory of the day in my voice of what I say.

It is not of a Democratic voice in retort I slay. It is, but to that like you, these voices of nay from the far left and right sides of nowhere voiced in clumps of doom, gloom and mostly nay. To the barn you all must go, afar from these bellyaches of nay, gloom and doom, that is in my voice that rejoices in every failure, flaw, in your every howl from the far left and right voice’s at play.

I hope you understand in how I play, for in this voice is no bellows fray, only the sort who looks to see the way, not from afar lefts or rights at play but from the middle is where I lay…

Enjoy!

so your point in posting "do you speak English" and "understand" in Arabic was what then?



you're smart if you use a tool correctly and do not attempt to use it just to look smart - all tools are like computers - only as good as the person using them - sh1t in, sh1t out. Use your tool to post something wise, witty or wonderful - I guess it has a better chance than your fingers!



every debate finds its level - dictated by its main protagonists and adhered to by those less worthy.



I wish you had... I need a challenge



Yawn yawn, i have a light hearted poke at your posting/debating style and again my "European country" is a surrender monkey - change the record, just once.



again more of this crap - find another counter to any perceived sleights against you or your nation - this one is old, boring and worst of all unoriginal with no place or relevance to a light hearted debate.



Quite glad to once I know what work I've been asking you to do - unless you fancy kissing my femine sensitivities!!!



are you going to take your bat home too? That would really be it all then! THAT IS ALL!

If you really want me to post 'on topic' then I have to refrain from making any comment on US party politics, but can answer some of your points in a wider context




In Britain, we have already had a female prime minister (as have many other nations worldwide) and a female speaker of the house of commons (Betty Boothroyd). Surely it is no great achievement that the world's greatest democracy does the same?



http://www.fco.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagena...d=1134650559096

"Britain now has four Muslim MPs, five Muslim members of the House of Lords, one Muslim MEP, and over 200 Muslim councillors. The first British Muslim parliamentarian was the C19th peer Lord Stanley of Adderley, followed by Lord Headley, who converted to Islam in 1913."



I would say that everything you have just said could be said about Great Britain and have to admit that I wuld expect nothing less of the USA.

If there are people in your country who see this as unusual (moonbats or otherwise) I would just say that the rest of the world probably expected the US to have already passed these landmarks and that those (in the US or out of it) who thought this day would never come were surely in the minority.
