No, but I call bullsh!t. In your little video, there was nothing hypocritical of what Judge Samuel Alito has said, done, judged, signed, sealed, and delivered. He was merely stating what thoughts are provoked when he considers immigration and naturalization cases. So what is he being hypocritical about? He is a citizen of the United States and he is an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States of America... a sovereign nation... I might add. Any decisions he has made that would contradict said statements in that little video are considerations of his humanity and kept to himself, his ultimate judgments are based on the Constitution and the extent of what the law will allow.

I have the flag of the United States of America right outside my shop. I raise it and take it down every single day. If anyone has a problem with that, step inside and we'll discuss it over a nice cup of STFU and get the fukk out.

Folks, do you want a sure-fire plan for salvaging Chrysler? It?s not hard. If this plan were implemented tomorrow, I would go out and buy $100,000 worth of Chrysler stock in a heart beat. #1: Cancel their contract with UAW #2: Tell Chrysler to build whatever it wants to build to meet customer demand. In other words: no caf? standards. Build your jeeps. Build your Dodge Ram pickup trucks and Dodge Charger automobiles. Build them and sell them. The caf? standards do not apply to you. If Americans want to buy jeeps and muscle cars and pickups then you make jeeps and muscle cars and pick ups. You sell them, and you are going to do this without being under the thumb of the United Auto Workers. Go for it. Very quickly, Chrysler would become one of the world?s leading auto makers. Instead the Obama plan for our auto industry is to let government own 50% of GM. The unions will own 39% and that will leave 11% for God-knows who. We?re going to let the unions own 55% of Chrysler, and then we ? the imperial federal government ? are going to tell them what they can build and what they can?t build. Now, does anybody out there want to buy GM or Chrysler stock with the unions in charge? I see absolutely no hope for GM or Chrysler as long as the unions and the government have a powerful voice in these organizations. Sorry to say it... try Toyota or Honda. (I made the switch in '97.).

They ought to build monuments to your self-centeredness.

[attach=full]2333[/attach] From the 1938 Time Magazine Man of the Year article... Meanwhile, Germany has become a nation of uniforms, goose-stepping to Hitler's tune, where boys of ten are taught to throw hand grenades, where women are regarded as breeding machines. Most cruel joke of all, however, has been played by Hitler & Co. on those German capitalists and small businessmen who once backed National Socialism as a means of saving Germany's bourgeois economic structure from radicalism. The Nazi credo that the individual belongs to the state also applies to business. Some businesses have been confiscated outright, on others what amounts to a capital tax has been levied. Profits have been strictly controlled. Some idea of the increasing Governmental control and interference in business could be deduced from the fact that 80% of all building and 50% of all industrial orders in Germany originated last year with the Government. Hard-pressed for foodstuffs as well as funds, the Nazi regime has taken over large estates and in many instances collectivized agriculture, a procedure fundamentally similar to Russian Communism. Meanwhile an estimated 1,133 streets and squares, notably Rathaus Platz in Vienna, acquired the name of Adolf Hitler. He delivered 96 public speeches, attended eleven opera performances (way below par), vanquished two rivals (Benes and Kurt von Schuschnigg, Austria's last Chancellor), sold 900,000 new copies of Mein Kampf in Germany besides selling it widely in Italy and Insurgent Spain. His only loss was in eyesight: he had to begin wearing spectacles for work. Last week Herr Hitler entertained at a Christmas party 7,000 workmen now building Berlin's new mammoth Chancellery, told them: "The next decade will show those countries with their patent democracy where true culture is to be found."

I bet he was Irish. or Black.

Ohh... I fukken concur, IWS. The more the Democrats water down the qualifications, the lower our standards will be, the easier it is to get the Supreme Court making policy instead of the Legislative branch of our Government. Ohhh... and I fukken concur here, too. This was a power move. Plain. Simple. I see the liberal blowhards are out in force today trying to justify how their riduculous SCOTUS candidate deserves to be confirmed. What they ignore is that the founding fathers did not intend for the three branches of government to have overlapping responsibilities. If I recall, we fought a war of independence(and won) to free ourselves from exactly the sort of political oppression idiots like on CNN and their kindred so rabidly endorse. Imagine what we'd hear from Keith Olbermann (sp?) and his ilk if a conservative nominee was quoted as saying "I believe the richness of my experiences as a white male qualify me to reach better decisions than a hispanic female who has not lived these experiences". Oh, the outcry we would hear from those hypocrites. In essence, what the liberals are forcing down are throats is the following: 1) Sotormayor is the essence of quotas as she meets the liberal, PC criteria set forth (female, hispanic, legislates from the bench, pro-abortion). Here's a thought, I wonder how her catholic hispanic constituency feels about her abortion stance? 2) Despite the fact that 60% of her opinions are thrown out by higher courts, meaning that she is correct only 40% of the time in her decision-making, this doesn't matter because she is a liberal and liberals reward incompetence. 3) Equality under the law no longer applies if you are a person of color--you now get preferential treatment to the detriment to those of us who happen to be white. As she is a chain-smoking, 58-year old diabetic, my guess is we won't have to endure this despicable human being for very long.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! Patrick Henry March 23, 1775

The conductor was texting girlfriend.

The Republicans have known for weeks that Sotomayor was at the top of Obama's list. They've had weeks to prepare their "attack," and they still can't get it together. There's a real shocker. Will someone please step in and organize this party???

About as comedic as a trainload of dead babies.

I thought you were smoking cigarettes and cursing at the filters for drawing out so much flavor.

Do we really think that a government-dominated education is going to produce citizens capable of dominating their government, as the education of a truly vigilant self-governing people requires? - Alan Keyes

Thus making the Second Amendment null and void? No. Double no. Who will protect me when the government seizes all that I have, all that I have worked for, for the glorification of its massive ego? I'd just assume die in a gunfight with actual criminals.

Alot of people were OK with the Patriot Act, because they assume the government will do right by them. Then again, if you have nothing to hide... so be it. I, for one, have plenty to hide. The government doesn't need to know about my intimate conversations with Daisy on 1-900-HOT-SLUT. (rollseyesface) I'm not a opposed to certain aspects of surveilance, however I wholeheartedly, vehemently, and with a fukken passion stand behind MY rights under the Bill of Rights. The expotential growth of our federal government is unconstitutional.

I have two great suggestions for relocating the prisoners. Haiti or Berkeley. You choose.

I love how all these "small-government" types (who never lifted a finger when Bush the Younger was expanding the powers of the government exponentially) NOW are reading Rand and acting like it's the gospel. I wonder how Ayn Rand would feel about the PATRIOT act? The point is that we have people who never cared for limited government now jumping on the bandwagon and acting like they have read Ayn Rand all along. Case in point - please don't call yourself a small/limited government type and say you back the PATRIOT Act (which is sort of "soft-fascism" with red, white, and blue ribbons wrapped around it!). To say "YES! Government please listen to my phone calls, read my emails, because I have nothing to hide!". Is like saying, "YES! Throw the shackles on my wrists and about my ankles! I am your subservient dog. I beg you to strip my civil rights as a patriot, as a citizen, and as a human fukken being.".

The Bill of Rights is MY Patriot Act.
