So after the President doesn't attack/invade Syria..

What's the next topic to bash him on?

Do we go back to "The Green and the Snowy" or is there something else just bubbling under the covers? Got many more weeks before the repukes come back to Congress then the whole "government shutdown" bullshit will start.



What topic will fill that time...Hmmm....

Well, we are right smack in the middle of hurricane season and we have seen 0, not just the US, anywhere in the Atlantic. Wonder if a big one is right around the corner....

And I will be really distressed over the advance of the worldwide Surveillance State. I will not then, just as I do not now, demonize our sitting President, but neither will I approve any pernicious actions he might take to advance the control of the few over the many. I'm not interested in blame; I am interested in advancing the general welfare.

We'll always have storms of noisemakers aplenty on this board. If they can't get what they want, they'll whine about nothing.

Preliminary indication: Encroachment/Pre-emptive anti-defamation

This could mean a 5 yard penalty...

No, Keith,

It looks like the offense will decline the penalty.

Who knows really. I hope this doesn't quell any talk of the NSA. So far people have been able to talk about both issues. Rightfully so. They are issues of great importance.

Because he's the one who wanted us to "hold his feet to the fire". I would rather cut him off at the knees than engage in ANOTHER illegal war. And he is MY President.
