Your macho chest pounding has just gotten too damn tedious.

As have your constant unfounded complaints about me and claims of a superior moral position. You charge me with dancing around to avoid the topic, while using every opportunity to take slanderous potshots at my character, rather than refute my arguments with logic or facts; spin, rather than truth, and claims of knowledge you could not possiby possess.

Besides which, I have no idea which of my statements would constitute "macho chest pounding", but, rather than look for proof, I will feel confident that it is just another unfounded, unsupported mischaracterization, designed only to demean by the self-indulgent vehicle of ludicrously obstreperous posturing.

But experience has inured me from expecting any different from the portside, and so I am no longer much surprised at such pitifully inconsequential misbehavior.

Nor do I long suffer it, expecting a more generous attitude toward diverse positions from folks who only decieve themselves when they claim the moral highground for their own, due to a loudly professed but seldom manifested love of any diversity not pre-approved for public consumption by the elitist fools of academia and their puppets in the leftist mainstream media.

Lefty mantra:
Diverse (read abnormal) lifestyles and foreign customs=better than your own, normal existence.

Diverse opinion=squash like a bug, lest someone contradict your beliefs with fact, common sense, and/or logic, thereby threatening your very survival as a sentient entity.

The last interaction with you will be in answering your question, and only then because I gave my word to do so. Otherwise, I would more than likely have simply ignored any of your subsequent offerings, eschewing personal attacks for those who at least occasionally address my position rather than my motivation or other percieved shortcomings.

I already know I'm an a$$, so you reminding me constantly as though it were some secret profundity of yours is a bit annoying--especially as you appear to concurrently deny your own place on the victory pedestal of a$$-hood.

Do you approve of the Pentagon covering up the fratricide for a month, effectively lying to the Tillman family and to politicians including John McCain about Pat Tillman's death?

When I have real evidence that those things occurred, I will disapprove of it. A lie, by definition entails intent to decieve, which lefty scourges conveniently forget when it suits their agenda. Bush had no evidenced intent to decieve about Saddam's WMD stockpiles, any more than Clinton and Kerry did in '98 when they said exactly the same things--similarly, your evidence of intent, or even overt knowledge in the case of the administration (if not the incompetent, burgeoning bureaucracy that is the Pentagon) is absent for this purported "coverup", other than alleged motive derived entirely from pure conjecture and unsourced claims by obviously prejudiced witnesses.

When I see the media acting as agents of our enemy I will disapprove of it. Haven't seen it happen yet. You see, unlike yourself, I am fond of the Fifth Amendment.

I think you probably mean the First Amendment, which deals with freedom of speech, religion, press, petition and assembly.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.2

But here is the fifth, just in case.

Amendment V: Individual debt and double jeopardy. No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

And, no I don't blame the media for every foreign policy fiasco of the last thirty years.

Nor do I, mr. man of straw.

The closest example I can think of of the media conspiring with enemies of our country would be Judith Miller feeding White House lies about Iraq intel straight to the front page of the New York Times to coordinate with White House media blitzes. I stand by to see you start your whining about me attacking your beloved President again. Yawn.

Then you obviously didn't bother to read the link about the perfidy of the LAT in reporting dead women and children at the behest of Al-Qaeda operatives in Iraq.

And Judith may be about to be charged with treason, depending on the current examination of her phone records for the number of the person who leaked the NSA intelligence story.

Whoever it was who leaked, I hope they hang the lefty bastard from the nearest lampost that is high enough to secure his feet from the country I cherish and defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Have a long life, rick, that you may one day come to know the error of your ways.
