Aw, we deported him (after committing crimes) and he succumbed to the crime culture (that he otherwise would have had no idea of, even though he was a habitual criminal) and now he's been forced to a life of crime and murder because we deport people?

That seems to be the way the article was written.

Lets try a different take though... because we fail to secure our border with Mexico, this guy has crossed the border multiple times, and has killed hundreds of people in his crimes; and we still don't take this sort of thing seriously enough to secure the border.

Of course my overview doesn't have the benefit of trying to humanize and empathize with a psychotic mass-murderer; but I think it might be more valid.

How many times does someone have to commit crimes before you realize they're a criminal, and will keep committing crimes (and generally worse ones as they go)? Apparently the answer is "several" for The State of Washington (they don't list how many crimes he committed before being deported), and "we'll never figure that out, what are you saying" for the AP reporters and editors.

And all we need to do is to steal another couple trillion dollars from the next generation to pay for it.

Tell your kids that they'll need to work harder, get less, and have no economic services from government because we spent it all; but we had to... for "compassion". that's why we robbed them blind.

Or don't tell them; I'm sure they'll figure it out once interest payments on the debt becomes the largest single item the government has to pay for... yes, lets spend more than 150% of revenue. We must compassionately rob from the next generation.

What will they do about the debt we load up on them? Screw them, we're worried about compassion NOW!

Ok, so the Christian thing to do is to steal another trillion dollars from the next generation to pay for stuff we can't afford now? You're looking to steal the earnings of children not old enough to vote; so they'll have nothing but we can live the good life now? the only "Christian" answer is to rob children blind so we can spend their future earnings now?

Exactly what form of morality encourages stealing from children? I didn't realize taking candy from babies was a good thing that we should aspire to achieve...

Why are you looking to borrow on the backs of the children rather than working to live within your own means? Do you do this with your family? Are you looking to die with as much debt as humanly possible to pass on to your own kids as well? What kind of sick freak works to steal from kids exactly?

So we can starve seniors, or we can steal trillions of dollars from the next generation and stave them instead.

You have to choose. Do you save the old people, or do you save the children. Cut spending, get back to a fiscally responsible nation, quit spending more than we can afford.

DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN!.

Or is that slogan only acceptable to get more funding for extra 6-figure school administrators who will never actually work with kids?

Right, so the death threats are perfectly reasonable. If a conservative does something you don't like; vandalize his property and call for his death... does that work both ways?

I guess calling for the death of your political opponents is ok now? Well it looks like we're on opposite sides of a political argument. Go ahead and call for my death... seeing as that's now reasonable (at least on your side of the political aisle).

But the point here is clear. Don't call for the death of people who oppose you politically; then think calling for "civility" will mean a damn thing to anyone.

The fact that you can't see this even when it's clearly shown to you does say something... but I don't think you need to die simply for being wrong. Sorry for my shameful thinking that you don't need to die for having a differing political opinion from mine.

Set me up a prescription for Percocets for my "Walker Pneumonia"... it's a pretty serious case, I may need a refill.

Why not? The "Doctors" here have basically admitted they'll commit fraud for political gain; I'm assuming for minimal financial gain they'll commit more fraud... why would I assume otherwise?

Right, giving up missile defense technology is a good thing; we don't want any defense against future attacks.

Or is that "from ignorance"? I got that from the interpretation of the treaty by the Russian Parliament... are they ignorant of the treaty they signed?

Or did we just sign away any right to defense with anyone in return for a limited reduction treaty with one nation? Hey, doesn't Israel do this on a regular basis? Have a treaty with Hamas, then get attacked by the PLO; have a treaty with the PLO and get attacked by Hamas...

I guess it's just my ignorance that I consider there a possibility that our next serious war might not be against Russia... weird that allowing for a circumstance aside from this one is ignorance, and being intelligent is having all your eggs in one basket with no contingency plans.

And I guess if you don't want your home robbed; you should get a big sign clarifying that you don't own any guns, won't defend yourself, and will accede the wishes of any threat... go ahead and try that if you like; I'll try a different method.

So, what does the START treaty do? Reduce Nuclear weapons? Not according to Russia's interpretation. They've clarified they're below the "target" in their eyes. So the treaty is to reduce US nuclear weapons unilaterally while allowing Russia to build a larger stockpile if they choose to do so... and we needed already to force our hand while doing nothing to Russia.

Why do we need a treaty to limit only our actions?

We're destroying no missiles aimed at us, reducing Russia's stockpile by 0, allowing them to build more missiles if they choose to do so; and limiting our military capabilities. Good plan.

"[I'm] trying to take warheads of Russia [out of circulation] so they won't hit Indiana."

Well, given the Russian interpretation of the treaty you worked so hard on, you failed miserably and handed over a concession for no gain whatsoever on your goals. Either you have different goals and are lying; or you're incompetent at achieving even a minimal partial success on your solitary goal. Any guesses which it is? Is he successful in a plan designed to damage the US while not limiting Russia? Or is he an incompetent failure?

And if we keep working toward a missile shield or anti-missile technology we'll be in breach of the treaty.

So let Russia get more missiles, limit ours, and stop trying to defend against missiles at all. That is how Lugar wants to defend us.

Hey, lets try that on home defense. Give the criminals more guns; limit the guns of cops, take all guns away form homeowners to prevent any sort of "shield" there and we'll be safer... right? I mean arming your opponent, while limiting your armaments and defense is a good strategic plan for defense now; why don't we do this everywhere.

Maybe do this to the security of Congress and Congressional Representatives first, since their defense is so important we'd want to focus on this critical bit of safety... wouldn't we?

<quoted section from other news sites>
But Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) took the debate to a new level late Tuesday night, suggesting to an empty House floor that Republican rhetoric around health care reform is akin to Nazi propaganda that fed anti-Semitism during World War II.

“They say it’s a government takeover of health care, a big lie just like Goebbels,” Cohen said, referring to a Nazi propagandist. “You say it enough, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, and eventually, people believe it. Like blood libel. That’s the same kind of thing.”

<endquote>

From today... any bets whether Rep. Cohen gets attacked for using "Blood Libel" by all these talking heads? You think MSNBC is going to call this guy out? Or will they somehow miss a very public usage by an elected official of this most horrific term that cannot be used?

Finally my work can proceed. Thank goodness Obama has lifted the bans on my important scientific work. Anyone who wants to see my progress should look into coming out to the island here in a couple years. - Sincerely, Doctor Moreau.

Although my work will likely be done sooner; as I have fewer hurdles to clear, and an assistant that can help me out with procurement and some of the tricky parts. - Doctor Victor Frankenstein

In all seriousness; does anyone think this will end well?
