News & Politics / Re: Kumbaya, Libs & Cons, Kumbaya--we finally agree on something.

I've got to give the left some credit for casting a critical eye on the president's behavior after all these years.  They are finally making some noise over Obama's 300% increase in drone usage over Bush.  We all know that had Bush been so drone happy the left would have lost their flippin' minds but now that Obama has safely won a second term they can finally let out a little steam.  It's a good tactic.  Wait until the decision has been made and cannot be undone, feign a stink, and then claim the moral high ground.

I'd be OK so long as they had some Bach theme music.

Agreed.  And the host would have to make it a habit to lean way back in his chair and always have a pen in his hand.

This is one issue that a lot of people think is a great idea, despite all the noise about Due Process.  O has a legal out on that, though. It's called Article 3 Section 3.

I guess soldiers in hand-to-hand combat are supposed to read the enemy their Miranda rights.

Sounds like something PBS should add for fairness and balance.  You know, Firing Line!

Yeah, pretty much like Firing Line only it needs to be an hour.  I think Firing Line was only a half hour long which is fine if there are no commercials but on commercial stations advertisements must eat up between 15 and 20 minutes of an hour long show.

It would be great to have an even tempered and civil guy like Buckley to host but I'm afraid that the attention span of Americans is getting shorter and the average viewer needs shouting and rude confrontation to keep their interest.

Scarlett Johansson was hot!

Well then, I sure hope she took the opportunity to step outside into the cool NY air between acts.  :D

PBS already has Inside Washington, starring Nina Totenberg and Charles Krauthammer, which is priceless these days...especially when Krauthammer steps in it.  There are two other panelists that are semi-regular and subject to rotation.

Fox still doesn't taste good, fluff or no fluff, but every once in a while it's interesting to catch all the intramural GOP infighting.

Nah.

RWE, you've hit on a big reason why people are dumping the GOP. It's not that they hold the other party accountable, it is that they want to grab the power the other party has on things that BOTH should be held accountable for, and your guys always bring up the wrong things as issues.

I've spent days away from this board for the purpose of coming back days later to see if any of you guys scream to hold the administration accountable for the drone program.  Nobody here has even a thread on the latest memo revelations on that. I submit it's because your side prefers to have that power should they ever whup the Dems, instead of being held accountable for even the fact that the GOP started it.

FAIL

I favor the drone program because I think it's a great idea.  Go O!
This is one issue that a lot of people think is a great idea, despite all the noise about Due Process.  O has a legal out on that, though. It's called Article 3 Section 3.

He resigned for being wrong about that. And then Dubya surrounded himself with Nixon's unindicted co-conspirators and resurrected the notion, which cons continued to defend until Obama got elected. And re-elected.

Apparently if the president executes American citizens without a trial it is legal now. according to Obama's co-conspirator AG Holder, due process is now the president ordering a firing squad. But ah heck, Bush forced him to do it.
It's interesting how the people who swear to uphold the Constitution consistently fail to read Article 3 Section 3.
