so if you are so aware of what life was like in the Soviet bloc why do you
compare this current administration to what your relatives suffered under.

"I'm not a political party partisan nor have I been Limbaugh-tomized so my
disdain for
those in government leadership who break/ignore the law transcends party
lines."

could have fooled me.

"I do wonder if there is something similar to Godwin's Law that can be
invoked when one is discussing
the actions of a Republican controlled government and the rejoinder is "well
Clinton did/said..".
As if one excuses the other. I'll have to hit the google later and see what
I can find <grin>."

we'll just call it McFatridge's Law for lack of a better name. besides I'm
just pointing a facts in evidence that seem to escape folks when rant
against the current administration.. Based upon your recent comments I would
imagine that you are pleased with opposition research being performed by the
Clinton's oops sorry didn't mean to mention their names.

for those unfamiliar with Godwin's law it was postulated by Mike Godwin back
in 1990.  It states "*"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability
of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.""

"*But then I'm sure the tens of thousands of fine, honest, hard working
American citizens that woke up one morning just a few decades ago
to find their homes and businesses taken by the government and themselves
loaded onto buses and shipped to internment
camps just because their last names were Nakamura, Shimizu, etc. never
imagined that would happen to them either."

nor did the thousands of German and Italians who suffered the same thing.
guess you weren't aware of that.

well have fun at work. which I've been meaning to ask you about, what do you
do for vbgov.com? I couldn't find an introductory message from you in the
listserv archives telling the list about yourself
