Steve’s right, but goes for the half truth misleading edge again: Republicans did hold Congress for 4years, and did spend like drunken sailors, but this is where Steve’s truth stops, and the real truth continues; the real truth is that conservatives and Americans in general held those drunken sailors to account and removed many from office. Such an introspective demand for accountability is not only unheard of on the left side of the spectrum, but if one speaks out against the loudest voices in the Coalition that is the DNC, then they’re labeled neocons, forced to wear a scarlet A on their chest, a yellow star of david on their arms and booted from people’s party of open arms.

Republicans were held to account.
Democrats…not so much. They’ll defend anything.

but level-headed people should investigate the validity of these criminal accusations before the arrestors are dismissed as “idiots”, along with “all”.

Oh, believe me, all of the authors here at FA have investigated their claims and have posted on them quite often. After which I can say with 100% certainty they are idiots. Pure partisan BDS baloney.

Conservatives controlled the White House and Congress from 2002 through 2006. I did not notice that the Candy Store was closed any of those years. did you?

This is where you and I would be in total agreement Steve. I would submit that it was the “drunken sailor” spending of the conservative party that actually played the biggest part in their removal from being a majority. BUT, does the “you did it first” make it some how allowable for a democratic party that would bankrupt this already fragile economy with their entitlement expansion plans?

Curt: yes, I overlooked that arrest detail; thanks for the correction.
Still, a “citizen’s arrest” is not simply political theatrics (which would still fall under our protected “free speech” rights in cases). A citizen’s arrest is perhaps one of the most courageous acts a person can perform in a civil society. (Have you ever tried arresting – or even contemplated doing so – anyone you know to be a criminal?)
After an arrest, the matter is not for you or me to decide the validity of the accusation, but is to be weighed in a court of law. If the “arrest” is shown to simply a harassment with no basis in broken law, then prosecute the arrestors! Absolutely and without leniency.
Call people abusive names if you feel that’s your best weapon against their reason, but level-headed people should investigate the validity of these criminal accusations before the arrestors are dismissed as “idiots”, along with “all”.

“True Conservative” would prefer a shitter out back of the house and an unpaved road to a majestic utopia while ignoring the reality of a world economy that agressively struggles to maintain a “fairly” level playing field.

What percentage of American voters would elect into office people who were truthful about their positions……

Like the daily deceptions of Barak and Hillary who have promised more government hand-outs with their “trick or treat” mentality? Pass the candy, (vote for me), and I’ll hide your tax bill long enough for your children to inherit the burden. Damn those pesky neocons that spead such lies.

were exercising their free speech rights, but ARRESTED for it by Rove’s guards, for God’s sake.

Reading comprehension needs to be worked on a bit:

Police also were forced to remove two people after they tried to perform a citizen’s arrest on Rove for what they said were his crimes while a member of the Bush Administration.

They were removed for disrupting the speech with their idiotic attempts to perform a citizen arrest.

Idiots one and all.

Mike’s America — oh yes, I forgot to point out the extremely obvious fact that these “lefties” were exercising their free speech rights, but ARRESTED for it by Rove’s guards, for God’s sake. Who is criminalizing free speech? What has happened to America, indeed! Wake up and smell the sewage they poured in your coffee mug.

Mike’s America — regarding your painfully twisted interpretation:
The comment you quote, “Based on overwhelming evidence, rove should be in prison for treason. if you don’t agree, then you must hate america and should leave”, is but a tongue-in-cheek “back-at-you” reiteration of what the Right has been throwing at anyone who doesn’t toe the right-wing line. This is very plain to anyone who doesn’t “resemble that remark”, and is apparently most offensive to those who dish out such lines.
Besides, the only reason there is this great outpouring of emotion against Rove is that the will of the people has been effectively silenced in all other fora. The man refuses to appear before a judge and swear to tell the truth, even! What else can people who feel defiled by his ploys do but verbally assault him in public, I ask you? What would you do if it were a left-wing dictator abusing all the prior laws of your land, and refusing accountability?
