LOL, not trying to hi-jack, this just sparked an old haha.


I can remember hearing Ester sayin' it about like that. And old Fred Sandford sayin' somethin' like, .. '' while you at it .. pray fer your face .. cause it sure is ugly ''.

I miss ole Red Fox.

OMG!

Striping a person of citizenship is the scariest thing I think I have heard. What is the point?

If a person is a citizen, they are a citizen. Even if they commit treason, they are a citizen, they should be tried and punished, but they are a citizen.

What could possibly be gained by stripping an individual of their citizenship? Are they then no longer protected by our laws? Does this mean that we can hold them without rights in jail, without trial? Does this mean since they have been stripped and are not a war criminal we can torture and ignore geneva convention protocol?

Maybe I am being a little paranoid, but this is paramount to a free ticket for the government to do whatever it wants, whenever it wants to whoever it wants.

This is just absolutely crazy!

I wonder what mister liebermna would think if he was being arrested and held as an enemy of the state because of this proposal?

I think the Senator is slipping into senility.

Or to borrow a phrase from the music group, WAR, he is "slipping into darkness."

I find him to be a cynical opportunist, any one of our five feral cats has better morals than he does.

This silly notion (stripping citizenship) is just an extension of the Mirandaphobia. If we can call somebody an enemy combatant (instead of a citizen), we can beat the shit out of him and take funny pictures of him while surrounded with angry dogs. It makes us feel tougher.

Thinking back, I wonder what card he was holding to snatch the VP bid. If the winner had been able to take office, I wonder whose side he would be on now. He most certainly would not have had to vote to justify the invasion of Iraq.

Lieberman had very publicly condemned Clinton for his sexual indiscretions. I've always felt that had something to do with Gore's choice of him.

When you are that downright fugly it is easy to condemn sexual indiscretions.

I think that Liebermann is the best senator our 51st state ever had.
