weapons of mass destruction – would we lie to you?

we don’t torture. Unless we torture, and then we do it because we get vital information. But I can’t tell you what that was, would I lien to you?

I guess the guy who lets you show up at a debate with guns threating revolution is a fascist, but the man who arrests people for wearing a shirt that hurts his feelings is the great defender of liberty.

Until the 109th Congress, it was not in order to make certain references to the Senate or individual senators. However, at the beginning of that Congress, the House removed the prohibition on making references to the Senate, leaving only the requirement that debate be confined to the question under debate and avoid “personality.” The precedents of the House allow a wide latitude in criticism of the President, other executive officials, and the government itself. However, it is not permissible to use language that is personally offensive to the President, such as referring to him as a “hypocrite” or a “liar.” Similarly, it is not in order to refer to the President as “intellectually dishonest” or an action taken by the President as “cowardly.” References to the Vice President, in spite of his role as President of the Senate, are measured against the standard used for the President rather than prior standards used to govern the Senate.

Let’s face it. Hypocrisy can be entertaining, though ignorance is just sad.

My first-grader asked me the same thing, for the same reason (principal not showing the video in school). Kids are more perceptive than we give them credit for sometimes (although in our case it was more because the principal was afraid of pissing off the large percentage of Rush zombie parents).

Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iqsxCWjCvI for the speech and your kids can see firsthand what’s causing all the controversy: a guy telling kids to work hard, take responsibility and stay in school. You’d think that would resonate with the Ayn Rand Cheerleading Squad, but nope.
