Really? I didn't know that. Where's the transcript
of the trial?

"Justice" is mass, legalized revenge, filtered through sophistic
mumbo-jumbo and twisted moralisms to deny the simple, and obvious, fact
about what it is.

Bin Laden was killed in an act of self-defense against a non-state
combatant. As in any combat, at any time in history and anywhere in the
world, no trial is needed. Neither is suicide required.

Though I agree with your answer, it seems to be anti-liberal. Liberals
deny simple obvious facts and spin BS.

With all due respect, Roger, you wouldn't recognize a centrist if he
walked
up and bit you in the butt. But not to worry, I'm not into that sort of
thing. d8-)

Just because I don't want to machine-gun Mexicans as they cross the
border
or push Grandma out to sea on a warm day while she sits on a cake of ice
doesn't mean I'm liberal.



Maybe, but the fact that you seem to be a decent person with some morals
disqualifies you from being a true republican. Like, how much are you like
Newt Gingrich? He's a republican. Are you really one of them? So maybe
you're more of a liberal than you think you are.

Remember, I *am* a registered Republican. Just because the right-wing fruit
loops have temporarily co-opted the party doesn't mean that the old balance
won't be restored. I'm hoping it happens before I die, but time is running
out...



Yep, the clock is ticking and the people that I used to think of as
decent republicans, like my parents, are no longer in the party. All
that's left hold extreme views and have that overly
conservative/libertarian philosophy. You can remain "registered" if you
like, but I'd suggest that the republican party left you a long time
ago, and now you're a moderate liberal but just haven't noticed it.
