Liberals typically are not.

They're open, loving, tolerant and embracing of EVERYBODY - except anybody who dares disagree with them. THOSE people can go straight to hell.

I tried that before - remember?

But I kept reading what you wrote about me in other people's quotes.

It seems that you can't stop obsessing, fantasizing and writing about me.

So, I believed it was in my best interests to see what you wrote. If you could have left me out of your posts, you would still be on ignore...face it - you're a total snore. But, since you can't stop writing about me, even when you're on ignore, I'll just have to keep pointing out what a big ol' girl's blouse you are.

Personally I don't mind if people disagree with me providing they can make a good case why that is so

I am tolerant of others' views even if I don't agree with them

Sad that Tristan can't be that way. I seriously believe he has some unresolved, deep-seated anger issues

And as for liberties - thank you for admitting that you have NOT lost ANY personal or civil liberties of any kind. And saying that they've been "compromised" is just a silent way of admitting that you're wrong.

The courts? What about them? Are you going to tell me that there are not hundreds - even thousands - of "rulings" that are made, over-ruled, revisited, over-turned and re-examined on a DAILY basis?

And by the way, it was not ME who brought up the courts. That was YOU.

There were short impeachment talks, but it would not have benefitted the Democrats. Welcome to American politics.

Just because you do not lose the whole does not man that something has not been lost. If you have a million dollars in an account, and someone steals 650,000 does this mean you have lost the account?

As for the couts, I was simply asking yur opinion about the highest authority of the land. My question stands.

There will be no impeachment because there are no grounds for impeachment. Period.


Now... what exactly is it you wanted to ask me about the Supreme Court?

I agree. Impeachment should not be used for frivolous, politically-motivated reasons, as it was with Clinton

Let's see if you get a straight answer, or another abstract deflection!

There is room for debate about whether or not there are grounds for impeachment.

In any case, I would like you to go back through the links in this exchange and read what was written. YOU brought up the courts, then you claimed that I brought it up. I asked a general question about your opinion regarding the courts, and you have made the assumption that I was talking about the Supreme Court. It appears that you are doing a lot of interpreting instead of addressing what is being asked of you. This is not a criticism in any way; I just think that you would find it useful if someone made you aware that you were doing this.

Anyway, about the court... I seem to remember reading somthing that you wrote about the courts being out of line about decisions. (I've been reading this forum long before I joined it.) Now you claim that the courts have not convicted Bush of anything so it is proof that he did nothing wrong. Do you respect the decisions of the court or do you only respect it when they agree with you?

I'd vote for the later portion. The 'only respect it when they agree with you' response.

Typically, for the fanatics...When a decision is made that is couterpoint to their own personal views, they'll then say the courts are biased and librels...
