Damn good post as usual, Nicollo.

I was hoping someone would counter his oxymoronic statements and strike'em down point by point, beat'em to a pulp and stomp on them like you did, instead of the normal "clean up in isle #xx" responses. Thank you.

Too bad the DUmmie already got the zot and probably back at the DUmp braggin' about himself; I'd like to have seen him try to defend his position against yours.

"So you see, the declaration of war carries powers beyond normal making of law. In kind, you, the patriotic (and not nationalistic) citizen, have an extraordinary duty to that law. If you break it, the Constitution allows Congress extraordinary measures to enforce it upon you.

That Congress chooses not to use those extraordinary powers is not license for you, the patriotic (and not nationalistic) citizen to oppose and to break the law. Here, too, dissent carries an extraordinary duty. The dissenter must know that in opposing the war he is obstructing the prosecution of that law.

So what's a poor boy to do? Hold your tongue. Vote. And then shut up again.

Once we're done kicking ass, you can go back to whining. Until then you support the troops by supporting the war. It's the law.

[And no, this is a legal war. There is a law passed by Congress and signed by the President that authorized it. It is the law.]

Well done, Nicollo. It was delightful to read after a long afternoon/evening at work. You ought to think about writing for a living. ;-)

Thanks, Chong. Looks like the Veep agrees:
