I was perusing some of the comments to posts at DailyKos today and I noticed a strong theme that has become one of the chief talking points of liberals during the Bush II years. They want a president who will respect The Constitution.
WHEW! Finally! They have seen the light. I guess this means that they will all now support unfettered 2nd Ammendment Rights, eliminate speech codes as they violate the 1st Amendment and overturn Roe v Wade because an implied right within an implied right is no grounds for interpreting a fairly straightforward document.
Well now that we have all that out of the way I guess we can get back to fighting terrorists and winning in Iraq.

A post so full of nuttiness that he should be sued by Snickers.
A murderous, gulag running thug like Fidel Castro is “a great leader for his people”. Yes those barely seaworthy “rafts” coming to Florida from Cuba must be because they are testing their vaunted “free” healthcare system.
Give me a damn break.

The DNC has been trying to fence off an area where protestors can protest without disrupting the proceedings; now the ACLU (H/T) is arguing that this violates the protestors’ First Amendment rights:
But the American Civil Liberties Union and several advocacy groups have filed an amended complaint to their lawsuit against the U.S. Secret Service and the city and county of Denver that says protestors and demonstrators may have their First Amendment rights violated by security restrictions.
The ACLU has said it wants to avoid the conditions that existed during the 2004 convention in Boston, where protesters were caged, infuriating First Amendment advocates.
The first phase of the lawsuit asked the court to compel the city and the Secret Service to disclose the information on protest restrictions.
During today’s hearing before Judge Marcia S. Krieger, the attorney for the groups, Steve Zansberg, said the city and the Secret Service had provided the information sought in Phase One.
The second phase of the lawsuit will address whether the restrictions are unconstitutional.
Much as I would enjoy seeing the fence taken down so hooligans could wreck havoc at the convention, I’m forced to side with the DNC on this one. I think preventing your convention from being disrupted is defending your First Amendment right against people who might not respect these rights. Republicans, take note: if this lawsuit declares fences unconstitutional, your own convention in Minneapolis will face much worse than the Democrats face in Denver.

This juxtaposition is almost as good as my “Darwin Fish/Save The Pandas” one that inspired much of our panda-hatred:
1) Hello, I am a judge who believes Ohio’s method of lethal injection is cruel and unusual because it causes excess pain.
2) I love mass-murderering commie thug revolutionary Che Guevara.
Like Jonah, I feel kinda bad for Obama for getting unnecessarily dragged into this.

The staunch moral pacifists flaming hippie cowards in Berkley have graciously shifted positions surrendered faster than French infantrymen:
As six Republican senators devised a plan to yank $2.3 million in federal funding for Berkeley programs, the mayor of the famously liberal city apologized Wednesday for his hard stance against a Marine recruiting center.
Two City Council members vowed to soften their stance as well.
Just to get the timeline right. First they ban the people that keep them safe. Then they are faced with losing their government funding with the possibility of no longer sucking on the federal government teat. Then they surrender like the moral cowards we all know them to be.
Yep. That sound about right.

Memo to San Francisco: This is why the rest of America hates you.
Voters consider changing Alcatraz to peace centre
Tue Feb 5, 3:20 AM ET
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – San Francisco voters will decide on Tuesday whether to remove the famous Alcatraz Prison visited by thousands of tourists a day and instead create a “global peace centre.”
Alcatraz is one of the primary tourist draws to San Francisco – a place full of history – and they’re going to tear it down for a global peace center? That’s some smart thinking there hippies.Also I highly doubt anyone would pay to see a movie about Sean Connery and Nic Cage storming a Peace Center filled with dreadlocked, hemp wearing peace activists.
Hmmm….on second thought.

And he’s now my favorite senator:
U.S. Senator Wants to Revoke Funding From City of Berkeley, Calif., for Vote to Boot Marines
Friday , February 01, 2008
WASHINGTON —
U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., says the City of Berkeley, Calif., no longer deserves federal money.DeMint was angered after learning that the Berkeley City Council voted this week to tell the U.S. Marine Corps to remove its recruiting station from the city’s downtown.
“This is a slap in the face to all brave service men and women and their families,” DeMint said in a prepared statement. “The First Amendment gives the City of Berkeley the right to be idiotic, but from now on they should do it with their own money.”
“If the city can’t show respect for the Marines that have fought, bled and died for their freedom, Berkeley should not be receiving special taxpayer-funded handouts,” he added.
Sen. DeMint will appear Saturday on FOX News Channel — on FOX Online With Jamie Colby — between noon and 2 p.m. ET.

The moronic pinko hippies in Berkley have decided that the men who defend their freedoms every day are unwelcome in their city:
Berkeley gives Marines the boot
City Council says recruiting station not welcome; military mum for now
By Doug Oakley, STAFF WRITER
Article Last Updated: 01/31/2008 12:53:41 PM PST
BERKELEY — Hey-hey, ho-ho, the Marines in Berkeley have got to go.That’s the message from the Berkeley City Council, which voted 8-1 to tell the U.S. Marines that its Shattuck Avenue recruiting station “is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders.”In addition, the council voted to explore enforcing its law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation against the Marines because of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. And it officially encouraged the women’s peace group Code Pink to impede the work of the Marines in the city by protesting in front of the station.In a separate item, the council voted 8-1 to give Code Pink a designated parking space in front of the recruiting station once a week for six months and a free sound permit for protesting once a week from noon to 4 p.m.
When you believe that the simpletons of Code Pink have more legitimacy than the United States Marine Corps you should be checked for mental illness. Don’t these high minded socialists understand that their freedom to stink of patchouli and wear hemp sandals is protected every single day by the men they seem to enjoy maligning?Our entire country would be better off if Berkley mysteriously fell into the sea.

From the end of a delightful story about the upstanding citizens of Brattleboro, Vermont (for the unedified) voting about arresting the president and/or vice president for, um, various crimes:
The [ballot] article goes on to say the indictments would be the “law of the town of Brattleboro that the Brattleboro police … arrest and detain George Bush and Richard Cheney in Brattleboro, if they are not duly impeached …”
Daims said people in Brattleboro were willing to “think outside the box” and consider the issue.
Daims had no compunction in comparing Bush and Cheney with one of the most notorious people in history.
“If Hitler were still alive and walked through Brattleboro, I think the local police would arrest him for war crimes,” Daims said.

As I was leaving the Apple Store in Pasadena today, after wading through a checkout line 25 people deep, I was accosted by a LaRouche supporter asking if I had time to “Discuss the collapse of the U.S. economy.” I turned around, looked at the chock full Apple Store, and laughed in the poor idiot’s face.

I’m writing this from my Blackjack outside a studio in Burbank – since I just joined the WGA I’m compelled to picket or I face fines.
Ugh I’m a Union Man. Oh no! Does this make me a liberal?

Before you read this story, read this paragraph from near the end:
At least for now, Hanley said, disillusionment has not set in. Indeed, she just turned down an offer from a for-profit consulting firm to manage a government contract. It paid well, but she was not ready to jump off the international aid track.
Keeping that in mind that, read the entire piece. I double dare you-no, make that double dog dare you-to feel sorry for this girl. And while you’re at it, try to find a justification for this story’s existence.

No matter how good Wikipedia will ever get, there will always be backwater pages that don’t get edited. From “Opposition and Controversy”[!] section of the Interstate 69 entry:
Opponents of neoliberalism believe that I-69, by expediting free trade between Canada, the U.S., Mexico, and Latin America, will further contribute to the exploitation of workers in the global south.
Did some Pitzer student write that for a class assignment?

I swear to god if Al Gore wins the Nobel Peace Prize I’m going to find some Swedes and beat the piss out of them.
UPDATE:
So as Tom pointed out in the comments – he won.
This essentially proves what many of us have known for a long time. The Nobel Peace Prize has nothing to do with promoting peace. It is nothing more than a prize given to the best proponent of leftist politics. It should be renamed The Nobel Prize For Leftist Blowhards.
The Nobel Peace Prize lost all credibility when it was given to Gorbachev and not Regan, despite the fact that Gorbachev still operated, and personally sent people to, Gulags. It has been given to known and avowed terrorists. Blatant liars. And anti-semitic warmongers.
What is even more baffling is attempting to figure out what this award has to do with Peace. If Al Gore had his way, and treaties such as Kyoto were implemented, massive economic hardships would undoubtedly ensue. As history has show us – one of the prime causes of violence and war is poverty. Far from promoting peace, Al Gore would contribute to the economic devastation of many industrialized nations, prevent third world countries from pulling themselves out of the 18th century and give “breaks” to countries like China – one of the most egregious human rights abusers in the world.
What a sad day for Sweden and the Nobel Prize Committee – you’ve chosen politics over recognizing someone actually worthy of the prize.
I can’t say I’m surprised.
