Don't say I did not give you every opportunity to avoid a deliberate lie.
You stated that:

Everyone else can be wrong and vapid and stupid and he can point his finger in all directions and sneer with false bravado, because you can't pin anything on him because he doesn't stand for anything.
The lies are in the statements that 1) I do not commit to a viewpoint and 2) That I do not stand for anything.
These are blatant falsehoods and I can point out a plethora of posts that prove my point.
The amounts of waste, duplications, and lack of oversight is simply ludicrous.
How can anyone make an argument that these people should be in charge of the people's money?
Even a cursory glance at this report shows a lack of competence from the top of our government to the bottom.
There are 2 main reasons and duplicate/overspending is one of them. So this certainly is a reason the government is trillions in debt.
The other is an inappropriate tax code.
I think that the abuse of the laws regarding the detention of material witnesses are some of the most egregious examples of eroding freedoms in this country. I am very interested in the Supreme Courts opinion on this matter. I am hopeful that they will make a decision that will narrow the scope of the law to protect citizens under the 4th Amendment.
I do not think, however, that John Ashcroft can be held personally responsible simply for the precedent it would set. Every future Attorney General would have to preview their decision through a lens tainted with the possibility of personal attacks in the form of litigation. I cannot endeavor to determine how this handicap would server the public interest.
I would prefer elected officials who would not spend the largess of the treasury for the purposes of persistence in office but would invest in the satisfaction of conscience.
I do not think the word "fair" means what you think it means. Do you honestly believe giving politicians the ability to agitate and abuse public safety employees such as policemen and firemen is in any shape or form "fair"?
It is one thing to throw the perennial scapegoat known as teachers under the bus of hypocritical jingoist budget cutting rhetoric, it is quite another to risk public safety by doing the same. I do not subscribe to the antiquated notion that these public employees are some sort of sacred cow but I do know that continually tweaking the nose of the people that are responsible for the protection of life and property is not a smart move.
I think that this action/non-action is a huge mistake for his administration.
I think that "pay their fair share" has been lost on you. Postal workers are hardly in the top 5% of the nations wealthiest.
I do, however, think that the USPS is a dinosaur and must change rapidly or become extinct.
All of the above are examples of commitments to viewpoints that I have posted on this board.
Your personal attacks are not only ridiculous, Harlowe, they are demonstrably false. I have actually posted more opinions and committed to more viewpoints on political topics over the period of time that I have been a member here than you have.
I will not hold my breath for your apology for your lies. Instead I will paraphrase the immortal Ice-T.
Maybe you should pay more attention to your own whack ass posts and less to mine and in the mean time, eat a hot bowl of dicks.
