Is the 9th circuit a part of the Federal government or not?

It's an independent branch of the federal govt. I thought you a "know all, be all" devotee of the Constitution, would know that.

Thomas Jefferson is going to be very cross with you for that "faux pas" the next channeling session you and other Libertarians have with him, IMHO.

Your post was interesting and easy to read.

I've recently come to many of the same conclusions.

I wish I knew why.

Because it is easier for most people to throw rocks at you than look at themselves in the mirror.

Throwing out that label helps dismiss any words of reason one might offer. For them, it beats actually thinking.

Actually I am not concerned so much with bin Laden "giving up."

I think that given the fredom to deal with their own problems, a majority of the people in that region would denounce bin Laden. The problem is that much of what he says resonates with those who are legitimately concerned and affected by our meddling.

We are in essence providing bin Laden with his audience.

There is nothing legitimate about what he says. When you talk about the religious aspect of what they say to each other, it is far less religious than a method of propaganda that we helped to develop when we were breeding anti-Soviet forces back in Carter's administration.

Between the CIA and ISI, religious schools were developed in order to use such religious rhetoric to our "advantage."

Now the product of this indoctrination is coming back to haunt us. None of this is a reflection on the American people other than the fact that perhaps the majority doesn't realize the consequences of such foreign policies and still support them by and large.

At the Libertarian channeling sessions with Thomas Jefferson.

The fact that is an independent branch of the federal government is not that spectacular a point. It is in fact a part of the federal government.

Here in California, the state Libertarian party opposed Proposition 187. It conflicted with their "open borders" philosophy.

You are quite an interesting person Dane. Your imagination runs wild when it comes to libertarians doesn't it? Honestly, why do you invest time on these threads when they give you ulcers?

Is it because you want to oppose the vast libertarian conspiracy on FR??

Flying passenger jets into the WTC seems like "insane Foreign policy" to me. - Roscoe

I agree with this. - Demidog

Not reflected in the screed. - roscoe

--------------------------------

NO where in DDogs 'screed' does he reflect that he disagrees with your first remark.

You are daft, in the making of your second remark.

Well you are just going to have to bring your complaint up with Thomas Jefferson at your next channeling session. I didn't write the US Constitution.

Save your animus for your next channeling session with TJ.
