Perhaps one might even celebrate the fact that so far he has not even been interned at Guantanamo for talking to Hamas. We can also celebrate the fact that the Obama campaign is doing very well, and his loss will not change that.

Kidnappers, assassins, torturers, war criminals, and criminals against humanity, we’re perfectly at home with, one of the boys, just like one of us, but terrorists, never, especially if they are popularly and democratically elected and they don’t do what we or our friends in Israel tell them to, all the more reason to have them on the list. In these very surreal times the meaning of the words has evaporated. Truth has been made so relative it is beyond the pale. How ever will the word replace the sword to guarantee peace and security?

You know, like whatisname, that Carter fellow who used to grow peanuts. I mean, what are they trying to do?
