Another one sent to me was this genius treatise on something or other, written possibly by a Pirate, entitled: AARRRGGGHHH! The hypocrisy! (Iran v. China and other thoughts) .<\/a> It has all the intellectual heft one would expect had they read its progenitors.<\/p>\n

First of all, what exactly is different between Iran and say, oh, CHINA, with whom we are VERY VERY VERY close economically? When it comes to international trade, they maintain “most favored nation” status despite killing THOUSANDS and injuring up to tens of thousands of their own people during the Tianamen Square protests. Like Iran, China is not a democracy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trivia Question Ms Picard (please insert joke about “number two” here): Which Republican President was it that hammered that one through? Answer: Bill Clinton. Also, it is no longer called “MFN”<\/a> as over 50% of countries were “most favored” making it a bit like calling someone “my favorite girlfriend” when you are dating half of women 18-33 in the mid-Atlantic region.<\/p>\n

MOREOVER, HOW ARROGANT is it for AMERICA to declare whether or not the winner of ANOTHER country’s election is legitimate or not? A body of the Iranian government decided the results were valid (sound familiar?) and that THE PEOPLE would have to deal with it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dude, what with the CAPS? And why is “ANOTHER” capitilazed? I would have gone with LEGITIMATE and RESULTS, but that’s me. If you really want to make a point, juSt starT raNdomLy putTing capS in mId worD. And, haven’t you guys been talking shi’ite about the Iraqi and Afghan leaders? Who is VV to be declaring whether they are legitimate? But, let’s move on to the dramatic ending:<\/p>\n

OH, OH, and then McCain says on Larry King that it is important that Congress be recognized as a co-equal branch of the government (to the President). While I totally agree (because technically, in a broad sense, the executive and legislative branches ARE co-equal), I am just wondering why this wasn’t an issue under the last REPUBLICAN President, whose Administration was the most expansive in presidential history? Funny how under a Democratic president they decide to freshen up on their Con Law. I just hate partisan politics. Both sides do it, I am just ranting about the Republicans b\/c I am sick of the war-mongering.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What is this “they” shit? I’m against any and all expansion of the Executive as well as the Legislative and Judicial, and this blog has been arguing that from Day 1. As far as I remember, Congress had the right to vote on anything they wanted, and as memory serves, they decided to take a pass on most of this crap. As for that “I just hate partisan politics”, excuse me while I whip this out….<\/a><\/p>\n

Carissa Picard is a licensed attorney and the creator and President of Military Spouses for Change (MSC), a non-partisan, non-profit membership organization that seeks to promote and protect the rights, interests, and needs of service members, veterans, and military families by educating the public and empowering military spouses. She is also on the Government Affairs Committee for the non-partisan, political advocacy organization, Veterans and Military Families for Progress.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The very non-partisan VMFP endorsed 27 Candidates in the last election, what say you look at those names and point out those who are not Democrats.<\/a> Go ahead Carissa, I have all day. Non-Partisan my aching ass. Yet another phony veterans group strikes again.<\/p>\n

UGH. (If this post doesn’t make sense, it is b\/c I have a migraine right now and I am not going to re-read or edit it.) End of rant.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks, I have one now too. UPDATE: Now with more video. After the jump!
