Ashcroft actually hung a curtain over the statue of justice in his office while he was in charge.

That was priceless!

Sounds like they made a bit of a **** there.

This filter needs fixing.

I think we can all agree that Ashcroft had a lot of baggage.

I wonder what they filtered out of you while keeping my 'breasts' allowed?

I'm sure Himmler and the Gestapo would agree with you. They should water board all those draft dogging right wing hawks.
You care about the rules of debate but not the constitution.
The use of positioning to give your point of view equal credibility to the other is weak. One is based on science and the other on fantasy. Just because you believe in something does not make it true. They used to believe that the world was flat and that the Sun revolved around the Earth.

Fair enough...you aren’t capable of having someone disagree with you, and all those who disagree with you are Nazis....you have made that stand very clear. I’m sorta amazed the mod's let people get called Nazis on this board for not agreeing, but so be it.

The rest of your response doesn’t make much sense, so not really much point in talking about it. your just a guy with no sense of the constitution and what it truly means to our country, wrapping himself in it to keep from having any respectful or logical debate...Its funny...leave it to a fascist to compare other people to Nazis...someone must have given you an alinsky primer LOL. /sigh...oh well...

Anyway, about these cards.

Anyway, about these cards.

Yeah! Did anyone else receive theirs? Has anyone received any email/spam/etc. that can be attributable to ordering these cards? I have not, not yet.

Got mine, but no spam, mail, etc. related to my order.

The cards are okay, but not spectacular. Just someone exercising their right to free speech, I suppose. I find them to be an interesting novelty item, regardless of your political views.

No spam here . When the cards weren't in the envelope i tried emailing them to let them know , email address no longer viable so maybe they shut down .

Let's us all sing along with him now, shall we?

"Let the eeeeagle soarrr, like it's never soared beforrre...".


Republican or Democrat, I'm a sucker for any politician who will sing a few bars of a tune he's written while at a podium taking questions.

Just a guess, but I'd wager Attorney General Ashcroft's least favorite album is the rap rock comedy classic, "Hooray for Boobies", by the Bloodhound Gang.

As far as the spam or junk mail that may come as a result of ordering these cards, there may not end up being a lot. The cause they promote is at best, languishing since the country's attention seems to be pretty solidly on current issues.

So if you thought the accused on the these cards were only doing the best they could to protect America and indeed saved American lives with their efforts, all the while acting completely within the law, be glad they will likely never be prosecuted, and history may yet regard them well for their efforts.

If you thought laws were broken and are among those who believe it is not worth becoming a monster to fight a monster, the fact this issue continues to be discussed and investigated (and will be written about for the rest of our lives, at least) should offer some solace.

For all Americans, the inarguable tragedy would be if if we do not take valuable lessons from these past 8 years, and as ever work to repeat our successes while avoiding mistakes. With the strength of our Union, we rightly have the least excuse for making them. And while missteps are inevitible (see?), we need never make the same one twice.

As far as this matter in particular, I think it would be best if the "bad guys" think we torture even though we actually don't, kind of the best of both worlds that way. I recommend hiring some of of best movie makeup artists to only simulate horrific abuse. And think of how far we've come with special effects. Surely, with a little CGI, we can just make people think we're ghastly torturers without having to actually do it.

Darn, now that I've told our enemies about this, it won't work. Moderator, please feel free to redact any part of this message in the interest of national security.

No cards here also.

Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.

I got my free pack too. I agree with Will's comments...

Still waiting on mine.

I just received my first piece of junk mail from CCR. No! Not Creedence Clearwater!

They are behind the recent ACORN law suit. No surprise there.

No cards here...

no cards here either.
