My hearty congratulations to Declan for this strong stance against the
Kerrey treason. I'm glad to see his strong criticism of it, and his
accurate speculation that a "grand compromise" with the criminals is likely.

I doubt one of his employers, "Time," will use his analysis...much too
radical for their get along/go along policy.

As for the fucking bureacrats, the Founding Fathers had it exactly right:

"Death to Tyrants!"


(Sadly, in these last decades of the American Nation, the scum will view
this as a "threat." Fuck em. Better, vaporize their nest.)

There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws.
