Winger blowhard hypocrites! You welcomed drone activity under Bush, yet you screech "checks and balances" when Barry does it.

I find it breathtaking to find supposedly educated individuals who still cannot acknowledge that the democrats and republicans are most emphatically not separate parties. They are all one Party that functions as one to pick your pockets, to restrict your freedom, to tell you what to believe and what to believe and mouth slogans about their "values." They use the drones called "voters" to line their own pockets in the name of "health care" or "equal opportunity" or "public safety" or "social safety net." Sad, really, how well their grift and their smokescreen works. After BHOs 5th inaugural, perhaps, you'll wake up, especially if it pre-empts the "Dancing with the Stars" finale. But that's unlikely.

Dag has it wrong. BHO will be president for the remainder of his life, which could be another twenty years, or even fifty. He's been wiping his feet on the Constitution since he took office; there is no reason to obey its dictates now that he is the most popular human being in history, and the Perpetual Smartest Guy in the Room by acclaimation. Sadly, everyone reading this knows it, but few will admit to it.

Just because _you_ don't give a subject any thought, don't think _no_one_ has. Speak for yourself, else you come off sounding like another winger blowhard...oh, wait...too late.

...but the Martians surely would have invaded.... Provide proof that space aliens would not have promptly invaded, then provide proof that the Germans or Japanese could have "won" WWII. Thought as much...

Please tell everyone why you like these pointless contests in the first place. A bunch of babbling winger script-readers mouthing slogans for an hour informs no one. Get liked on The View, that's all any candidate needs. Obama proves that, just as Hilly Rod and Crazy Joe will. Wake up.

Another winger blowhard misses the point completely. Of course, everything you've said about female physical and psychological inequality is true, but that is precisely the point. The idea is to make the military less capable, and to enmesh it in a flurry of lawsuits, further draining its budget. As to the draft: a dead letter now, since the second guy drafted will point to the Girl Next Door and ask "why me and not her?" Any nearby judge will concur. But the military will correct itself on the battlefield, as it always does. Women of slight stature will not join if there's a chance they could end up in the infantry. Women who do get assigned will find themselves in the rear with the gear, just as men do now. Wake up.

By completely misconstruing history, you have manufactured a whole other credo that you gleefully criticize: liberals want to destroy the species. Brilliant. Only a winger blowhard such as we regularly see here could come up with it.

Quite clearly you misunderstand. Popularity equals greatness in 21st century America. Just ask anyone in the mass media. Historians are just eggheads who bloviate about dead white males. Wake up.

There will be a tobacco-like settlement, followed by a flurry of contract revisions clearly indicating that the players have been warned about the effects. The sado-masochistic filler between beer and truck ads will continue unabated in both the amateur and professional ranks every weekend between August and early February. Congress and the media will move on to the next butterfly with their broken nest that they don't aim very well. Wake up. The volumes of money involved ensure that nothing will change. Regrettably you already know all of this and you're unable to dream up another column topic.

So many words, so little meaning. So much sophistry from the uninformed and inexperienced. "Direct combat" is a thing of the past, but you of course don't know that. Short-term effectiveness will be affected, but long-term women who don't want to serve in the infantry just won't join the Army. The military will sort itself out just as it has since time immememorial, long before there were even conservatives and liberals. Just because they can does not mean they will. This brings an end to the Jane Crow military with its "separate but equal" jokes about women putting themselves at risk from far out of range. Wake up. Grow up.
