Quotes
"My illness helped me to see that what
was missing in society is what is missing in me; a little heart,
a little brotherhood. The 80's
were about acquiring more wealth, power, and prestige than most.
But you can acquire all you want and
still feel empty. . . It took a deadly illness to put me eye to eye
with that truth, but it is a truth that
the country, caught up in its ruthless ambitions and moral decay,
can learn on my time. I don't know who
will lead us through the 90's, but they must be made to speak
to this spiritual vacuum at the heart
of American society this tumor of the soul."
-- Lee Atwater on his deathbed,
1991
Meanwhile, Atwater's number one student, Karl Rove, runs the White House with Uncle Dick.
PS. There's a 'Karl Rove' character on "That's
My Bush"
You better be watching that tonight.
It may blow, but if it doesn't,
it could be spectacular.
Bush Budget Cuts Aid to Uninsured

Hey,
Thought I am still relatively new to your
site, I wanted to take a moment to commend you
on the work you are doing. The leadership
of this country is going to "hell in a handbasket"
and dragging the country with it.
It's nice to see that someone out there is at least trying
to force people to sit-up and take notice.
Also, I read your debate transcripts as
well as the after debate chat.
Though the transcripts were incomplete,
I do think that you did indeed win the debate.
I still chuckle about some of the things
in the after-debate chat.
When it came time for Huckster to
"put up or shut up", he shut up.
Hehehehehehe
Kail, thanks.
You know, it's one thing to not want to debate. But when he shot
his mouth off, and then got
all shy on me with I called him out, it made him out to be a
coward and a fool.
False Alarm Hope
Last night, on Leno, Martin Sheen said in tonight's West Wing,
the president "begins his downward spiral with MS."
Let's hope he was talking "funny," and that this is a false alarm.
I don't want to watch a multi-epiosde arc where Bartlet deteriorates
before our eyes.
The show won't work without him, and nobody is going to watch
a show with President Otter.
Wouldn't that be just like Hollywood to have the best show on free TV and "fix it?"

Headline - Newspaper’s recount: Bush won
But futher down towards the BOTTOM the truth finally comes out
The Herald noted that although this portion of
the project examined only undervotes,
The Herald, Knight Ridder, several other Florida
newspapers and USA Today also
are conducting a full review of at least 110,000
overvotes — ballots for which machines
recorded more than one presidential candidate.
That project
should be concluded within a month.
In addition,
a group of national news organizations and Florida newspapers has hired
a University of Chicago research center to conduct
a statewide survey of undervotes
and overvotes. That effort is still underway.

Subject: Debate transcripts
Bartcop,
I just read the transcripts and all
I can say is, I'm shocked.
Is this the standard result of your debates?
Do these "opponants" actually think they bested
you? Are they delusional?
It just proves the axiom, "Never get in an intellectual
duel with the unarmed."
Or my favorite, "You've done nothing when you've
bested a fool."
Lars (not the guy from Metallica)
Lars, Koresh as my witness, willcommer was one of the sharper
ones.
Plus, he had the courage to show up!
I remember in Big debate Number One, with The Bird, when he called Clinton
"the most corrupt president in history," I mentioned the Bush pardons
and he said, "What pardons?"
Oh, what I wouldn't give for a real debate...
It's tough to win a debate with someone who doesn't understand.
I know this sounds awful, but Mark McGwire can hit a fastball from Randy
Johnson
a whoooooole lot farther than he could hit a fastball from Ol' BartCop.
I wish I could get a real sharpie in the hot seat one night.
BTW, there was a section of the debate that has yet to be transcripted.
Early on, we were arguing
about Somalia. Willc said Bush pulled troops out of Somalia and Clinton
put them back in.
I made him stake his reputation on that (which I'm sure isn't true)
but I suddenly remembered
something about re-inforcements in Somalia. If a "second wave" was
required, it still wouldn't
be Clinton's "sending them into battle," but where could a fella look
something like that up?
Thanks for the note, and yes, it'd be great to debate someone who knew
about politics and history.
I'm no textbook, myself, but I'm old and I have a decent memory.

"I voted for Bush, and I never voted

After what I've been through, I really

It's nice not to have to listen to any more
late-night jokes on Jay Leno about
a president with a roaming libido."

Major Simmons Responds
to yesterday's exchange
From: simmonspe@11meu.usmc.mil
American soldiers, sailors, Airmen and Marines
routinely perform what are coined
"Freedom of Navigation Operations" in various
parts of the world. 15 years ago as a young sailor
I participated in one off the coast of
Russia on the Kamchutka peninsula. That was during the cold war,
and was a bit intense (We were alone and
unafraid...our "little" cruiser against what seemed to be a large
part of the Russian navy).
We fly into other countries "claimed" airspace,
steam into their "claimed" waters, and do this not only
to protect our rights under international
law, but other nations as well. This as been going on long before
our current president. It will continue
for the foreseeable future. You ask if I "know for a fact" that the
plane was in international airspace?
No. I was not part of the crew. But based on my current and
past
experience, I doubt we would blatantly
and intentionally violate international law in this manner.
Not everything is a conspiracy.
I'm with you so far.
You ask if we would launch planes against
a Chinese plane over 12 Nautical miles from our coast.
I believe yes, as the Chinese did.
Would we "splash" the plane? No. Other countries (on the east
coast particularly)
routinely press our territorial limits.
That's part of the game...again it has been going on for some time.
They spy on us, we spy on them. And
everyone stays behind lines (usually).
Further, had we been in Chinese airspace,
you can bet China would be screaming about that...check the press,
BBC, Sidney, no one is reporting that.
None.
You use subtlety well Bartcop. But
you miss, or refuse to acknowledge the same (at least in regards to my
last letter).
Or perhaps I am losing my touch.
Let me be blunt...There is not a shred of evidence that suggests we were
in
Chinese Airspace. None. We fly and
drive "close" to China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Iraq, Russia (pick a country
here)
all the time. All the evidence available
to the public from all the sources (including China) states that two planed
collided in international airspace.
If you really believe the current administration sent a fat, slow, cargo
plane on a
mission to play bumper cars over the south
china sea to somehow start a war...well, hats off to you.
Having surrenders the word "over" and substituting "near," I'm not sure why you press that point.
Your piece and counter imply heavily that
we were in Chinese airspace, or somehow breaking the rules with a cover-up.
I never implied this or any other administration
was free from cover-up. I reserve that opinion for other forums a
bit
less public. However, your leveraging
this particular incident as a way to point blame at the current administration
is wrong. Retracting the word "over" with
the qualification printed above is a joke
respectfully

Major, I continue to be confused.
Real Catholics believe that every word from the Pope's mouth
is dogma.
If you're asking me to believe the government ( and Bush) the
same way, I can't go there.
I notice you didn't address the Gary Powers/Gulf of Tonkin/Iran-Contra
part of my reply
that proves the government often lies to us. I can understand,
in your position, you're not
supposed to question your commanding officers, but how do you
know
you're getting
the complete story from our government?
Statistically, you may know a guy suffering from Gulf War Syndrome.
Do you think he thinks the government never tells a lie?
Do me this favor: Don't assume that, because I think Bush
is an inept liar, that somehow I am
anti-American or pro-China. If worse comes to worse, we could
agree to disagree on this,
but I can't change what I believe because I don't want to offend
someone who may be incorrect.
In a few weeks we'll have more information.

“It's the opening week of baseball season,
which means it must be time
for George Will and his ilk to spew
about the pristine majesty of ‘our national pastime.’
This year's bloviation is even worse
than usual, because it includes hoo-ha from
a newly prominent and all-too-powerful
fan: President George W. Bush.”

Subject: abortion vs. cloning
Bartcop,
Let's take the "Napster rule of inevitability"
here to excuse an assumption that Cloning
will eventually become a reality. Even if the
Conservatives, or whoever for that matter,
ban cloning - let's say it happens anyway and
it results in cloned human beings.
Will these same people who declare that an unformed
fetus is a fully legal human being also propose to
protect the fully formed cloned human beings'
lives, or do you think they'd prefer to have them executed?
I'm betting on the latter.
Regards,
Muddro
Can this be?
"Dan Rather recently served as the star
attraction at a Democratic Party fundraiser,"
the Washington Post reports.
"Rather explained that he had not realized
beforehand that the event was a fund-raiser."
the Boston Globe says.
Does this mean it's possible to attend a fundraiser and not know it beforehand?
Ted Rall is one of the best.
One man come in the name of love

In the name of love
What more in the name of love

One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

Last Night's Debate Transcript
Remember this guy?
From: willcommer@hotmail.com
Subject: Love it?
I wish to thank you for putting up your
bartcop.com
web site.
The stress relief liberals experience from
viewing your site must be fantastic.
It must be a great pleasure for you to
express yourself so emotionally,
without needing to resort to facts, logic,
or reason. You and your fellow
liberal contributors have cleansed your
human souls, having removed
all traces of logic and rational thought
from your minds.
...and do you remember the first thing I said?
>How many times have we been here?
>You say my problem is a lack of facts, logic and reason?
>So, you'd have no trouble taking me apart in a live one-on-one debate,
right?
Since that day, Willc and I have been trading e-mails, trying
to find a night to debate.
His biggest concern was that I had to be civil, and I assured
him I would be.
I always start out nice - it's the smart move.
We settled on Monday at 9 PM, so I contacted Genslab and asked
him to moderate.
(In this case, "moderate" means lock the other chatters out,
so we could do battle)
So, Monday at 9, Gens and I were there - but Willc didn't show.
Did I make a big thing out of it?
Did I come on Tuesday with a bunch of "Neener, neener, Willc's
a coward?"
Nooooooo, I gave him the bene of the doubt and assumed
something came up.
See what a nice and fair guy I am?
Sidebar:
Last time I tried a debate, around 120
people showed up and it overloaded the system,
so I decided to do this on the hush-hush.
Besides, we'd always have the transcript.
So early last night, Tuesday, I got an e-mail from Willc saying
"Debate tonight?"
So, the debate was on:
I was hoping to get a full transcirpt of the debate, but so far
I don't have it.
However, I managed to grab two chucks of it.
As things were heating up, my computer crashed.
When is came back up, it started all than "Scandisk" crap, so
I opted out
and it came up in SAFE MODE, which is a real pain.
Chunk one of the transcript starts when I got back from the crash.

Chunk two was the post-debate chatter.

If anyone got the whole debate recorded, send me a copy ...for the archives.
Epilog:
So, after a long set-up of "Are you going
to be civil in this debate?" you can see
it was willcommer who lost his cool and
started with the pitiful insults.
As you saw in the post-debate chatter, JesseHuckster talked
real,
real big,
until I tried to pin him down for a Thursday night ass-whoopin'
but he had trouble finding his keyboard when the challenge was
made (repeatedly)
All ditto-monkeys are cowards - that's why they need Rush
to be their brains and courage.
And when I brag about beating them up, it's not that I'm Mr.
Know It All or Mr. Debate.
It's just so easy to win when you're right and the other
guy is a misled sheep.
So, what do you say, JesseHuckster?
Think you can do as good a job as your friend Willcommer? (chortle)
Can you grow a pair by tomorrow night at 9 PM CST?
...and do you think I'll ever get to debate someone
who has the slightest clue about politics
or history?

"Jesse Jackson is a worthless f-ing

I told Vic if they succeed in destroying Jesse Jackson, the Republicans
will
throw a party almost as big as the one they threw the night of
April 4, 1968.
It goes without saying that the same forces who fabricated Clinton's
"scandals" took part in MLK's murder.
That makes me fucking sick.
...and the press just play along, doing what they're told...
