The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country." |

That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties." "Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose - and you allow him to make war at pleasure." Lincoln is by far my favorite president... but... Didn't he suspend the writ of habeas corpus? also... Wasn't the confederacy a legal entity under the constitution? Therefore, Lincoln actually did invade a foreign nation. (although not to repel an invasion) Personally, I'm glad he did it. His quotes don't always line up with the reality of his life.

Evidently you're not familiar with the movie scene. Let me explain….
Clooney is going on about how the blind railroad man had the capability to see into the future. When Clooney's partners said that the old man said there was no gold, Clooney changed his tune and said the guy was an ignorant old man.
It was an attempt to be humorous at my own expense having been duped…but I guess you had to see the movie to get the joke. Then again, maybe you did see the movie but no one got my joke. I've always has a very singular sense of humor….

Well it's more than most people do in admitting they were duped. Besides, I once won an award for being humble…but when I went down to accept the award, they rescinded it!

Jim, What gives? No one took the bait so you took it yourself? :-) The idea of using our troops' welfare to push pork is despicable and there ain't no way to spin that. Oops, my bad. I thought you were replying to your own post. Sorry 'bout that. ~Mike Edited by Rogillio 2007-04-18 2:25 PM |

No one took the bait so you took it yourself? :-) The idea of using our troops' welfare to push pork is despicable and there ain't no way to spin that. ~Mike Pretty much. The pork issue won't fly, since the President has demonstrated over and over again that he's not above signing porky bills (one veto in his 7 years in office). But that being said, without the pork, the Prez would have no bill to sign at all. Pelosi had to use incentives to get the many democratic representatives who wanted nothing of a spending bill at all--those that just want the troops out now, to sign off onthe bill. So feel free to take your issues to those individual representatives, but it's not warranted with Pelosi. She gave the President a spending bill that he otherwise wouldn't have gotten. If he wants to veto it, that's fine. But with a non-binding date, it's only his hard-headedness that will be keeping money from the troops. |

Actually the original jab at Pelosi was directed at her negotiations with the Syrains against the State Department's advise. |
