Tragic Story . Maj Hassan's spiritual advisor has been killed in Yemen. This is a reuters report:
"A Yemeni air raid may have killed the top two leaders of al Qaeda’s regional branch on Thursday, and an American Muslim preacher linked to the man who shot dead 13 people at a U.S. army base may also have died, a Yemeni security official said."
Looks like it will be even harder for him to pray, and find his faith.

"The fascist Republicans use the tool that fascists have always used successfully - fear."
You said it,good donkey, my revolutionary brother. And now that health care reform is out of the way, (but wont actually kick in til 2014 - brilliant strategy!) , and the imminent collapse of our economy, which Barack so often warned our "ignorant populace , who can be led like sheep" (great description) about has been forestalled, its time to move on to the next crisis: the environment. Cap and trade, people. As ex vice president Gore has said the very existence of mankind is at stake here. Time for debate? Time for debate is OVER!

18 million will be left uninsured by the new bill. But, if the Stimulus Package and its paper trail is any index, they will all be in repub counties! Hahahahahaha.

As a progressive I cant completely disagree with the opinion that even though we in America voted for Barack's plan of wealth redistribution (by force, if necessary) we have a looong ways to go until we achieve the kind of equity and social justice Castro brought to citizens of once-impoverished and oppressed Cuba.

I like how brave, brave Senator Reid and the president completely bucked the US Constitution, (which Barack has described as "a charter of negative liberties") and Senate laws, and made parts of legislation in their their health care bill unrepealable.
When questioned about it by arch-winger Demint , the Senate adjourned! Haha hahaha , stupid wingers. I almost feel sorry for them.

"But it is a first step towards changing things and bringing our country out of the dark ages."
Props, tkoind. I like how you also use this issue to slag off our country and the over-the-top Christianity.
"We bleed the middle class for health care and leave the lower classes to rot."
And points for working in the class envy talking points earlier. You are good at what you do.

I am so proud of my party! Democrats voted down the stupid bit of wingerosity called "the DeMint Amendment",53-46. Supposedly, the amendment would have prohibited the practice of trading votes for "pork and pet projects" as wingers like to call the special incentives Harry Reid offered senate holdouts.I guess no one told Demint that Americans voted for wealth redistribution, by force if necessary, and the Democrats are going to deliver.

Whatever, next youre probably going to try and say the single biggest determiner of crime in America is the "ethnic makeup" of the community you live in.

"I think this shows the true character of the new America. There is a saying in order to beat your enemy you have to become like them. Japan had a much better enemy to become. America is changing and the changes are scaring me."
You know you could be right, OtaniYuri. Often when I am with a Japanese woman and we see SDF guys out on the town the chick always says to me "Those SDF guys are the kind of Japanese man who would NEVER want to get a woman pregnant, or even get into the situation where it would be possible to do so."

'The drugs aren't the problem, it's executing thousands of innocent people that's the problem.'
Thats more like it.Glad to see I'm not the only progressive who realizes there is NO link between drugs and crime.

Technically, Maj. Hassan hasnt prayed since the killings, when he was screaming "Allahu ! akbar !", or whatver it is they like to shout when the kill and decapitate people.

"Shame on Obama - why is he sending troops to Afghanistan when this is going on right next door."
Whats next with the war-mongers here? IS America supposed to invade Canada to halt the marijuana business that is british Columbia's largest cash crop?
