I regret an administration which abandoned American values and disregarded the law in pursuit of their own political ends. Until the present the US did not, as a matter of official policy, engage in torture. Even during WWII when our nation really was at peril we did not act this way and, in fact, after the hostilities ceased, we punished those who acted did.

The government is trying to take our values and beliefs and twist it into possible terrorist activity.<br /><br />Does this mean that because I don't agree or share the same views with our president that I am a possible terrorist threat?

She and I differ on what constitutes torture.

I disagree, and greatly regret the way the left has seized upon this issue as a way to beat up the former administration. This will certainly come back to bite them, as it already has bitten the speaker of the house.<br /><br />It is also entirely reasonable to believe that Shaw would react coldly, swiftly and viciously toward anyone who threatened her child.

Well isn’t that profound! <br />It sounds to me like sour grapes. It sounds to me as if she is side-stepping the fact that the Joke was horrendous and she don’t wish to admit it so she’d rather change the subject. Just because someone else does something bad, doesn't mean it's okay to do whatever you want to do. Just because you say that Torturing is terrible, that does not mean that Wanda Big Mouth can empty her toilet at a Whit House corespondents diner. <br />I love having the ability to "speak my mind" no matter how warped you may think it is. This is what make America the greatest country.<br />Now, with government executives now calling for the review of people and parties that don't agree with the official government policies or political views bother me. When we allow the government to pass regulations to stifle speech and thought, well, that's the beginning of the end. <br />Ms. Sykes, is a friggen idiot that should not have been invited there in the first place..And whoever invited here should have their head examined. Why would they choose a filthy mouthed woman (pardon me, comedienne) up at the podium at the White House dinner? Why would you expect anything better from her. <br />To wish Rush Limbaugh dead in any public forum goes way beyond the "politics of person destruction" to use a politically correct phrase! That kind of humor goes way over the line.<br />And if that weren't bad enough, we saw the President of the United States laughing out loud! In most public forums that line & a laughing President would have caused the crowd to suddenly go silent with shock! So much for a new Washington ethic! Is this the change a lot of people wanted? I've watched a lot of these White House Press Corps dinners over the years. Never have I seen this kind of behavior!<br />This sounds more like frat boys at a toga party! Or a roast for Chris Rock!<br />When she's on late night TV, she starts out funny and ends up filthy & every second word out of her mouth gets bleeped. What idiot thought she might add a touch of class at a White House affair? Her comments about Palin were REALLY disgusting.<br />For Pete's sake, an idiot like Al Gore even won the Nobel Prize for spinning. Now what does that tell you! You guys wake up.<br />Now Obama is spending it likes it's water paying off campaign promises.<br />Those idiots on the left even made a movie about killing Bush. Then, a couple college kids hang a black dummy from a tree and they go to prison?<br />There are still mental hospitals and sanitariums that isolate people like Wanda Sykes and maybe she should even be put in a straight jacket. They have doctors that calm people down people like her and have talks with them. These people usually go in for a week or so unless they are schizophrenic or have another mental illness.<br />I feel we have lost the vision of why and how we became this great country. Everyone wants control of the government checkbook spending us "out of business" and supporting lazy useless policies.<br />Its not only telling the kidney joke, it’s also the laughing at it like Obama did... Did anybody else see the smirk on his face when he was talking about the plane flying over New York City. The guy is plain stupid. No intelligent person would think that she is funny, not even Shaw here... but Obama thought she was hilarious ... She did what she's been doing for the past 15 years...telling filthy and disgusting jokes . Nothing new there! Sorry I didn’t vote for him... You people that keep saying "dish it out but cant take it" have no idea what you are talking about. Not at all. You are the type of mindless followers that Obama has and needs to follow him no matter what!<br />Y'all keep your head screwed on and stay focused. They all use "slight of hand" movements.

They counted the votes the way Gore tried to get it to happen. The journalists did this, after the Supreme Court shut down his attempt. And Gore STILL lost, like he did in the previous counts. The US Supreme Court did not take an "activist" role. The Florida court did, in Florida's ignoring actual election law.<br /><br />Stephens lied. He knew the name of the loser at the time he wrote the comments. Al Gore.

Otherwise, I'll just delete your anti-Obama rants. They contribute nothing to the discussion.<br /><br />Plus, you're misinformed. You are a distinct minority. Only 20% of the American people agree with your negativity and hate-filled assessment of Mr. Obama. IOW, you're with the angry and the malcontents.<br /><br />Debbie's Choice,<br /><br />Seriously, you need to get on with your life. Ms. Sykes was chosen by the correspondents who arranged the Correspondents' dinner.<br /><br />Mr. Obama had nothing to do with her invitation.<br /><br />There are more important issues to rant over than jokes delivered at a dinner.<br /><br />Torture.<br /><br />Now there's an important issue.<br /><br />Are you for or against it?Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.com
