And I see what side of the line you fall on. Color me surprised.

And 49% of Republicans see most blacks as racist. Next up, almost half of Democrats think water is wet...

I thought that since the IRS 'scandal' was entirely of Rep Issa's creation you were asking if we wanted him in charge of healthcare. Maybe I misunderstood.

Darryl Issa will be deciding people's healthcare?

Realize that this was written in 1996. Joe Abercrombie hadn't published yet, Locke Lamora was still an idea in Lynch's head, and Morgan was still writing Sci-fi. Dark, anti-hero fantasy hadn't really been done before on this grand of a scale. In the typical medieval fantasy series Ned would have...

Loved the first three books. I devoured them in the span of about 2 weeks. A whole lot of what Martin was doing in this series had never really been done before and he was gleefully smashing well-worn fantasy tropes. The last 2 took me over a month to read each one. They go nowhere, I almost...

Reminds me of a story... I lived in an apartment building that used an ancient system for their HVAC and the tech came out twice a year to flip the switches and reroute the flow to change from heat to air conditioning or the reverse. The last year I was their we had to wait until the middle of...

Can you go ahead and define 'kind' for me?

Vacation is part of a benefits package that various employers offer to make their employees happy. Sick days can fall under the same heading but their is a better reason. If I go to work while I am sick I am less productive and ran the risk of infecting other employees. These other employees are...

I would go even farther back and blame straight people getting married. That was the first step down this slippery slope.

I once saw a cat eat a carrot. All cats are vegetarians.

Lulz. History doesn't seem to be your strong suit.

Too bad my parents were gay and couldn't give their parents any grandchildren. Oh, wait. I guess I prove your thesis wrong.

And you can thank Glenn Greenwald for this. He currently works at the Guardian and has been pounding this drum for over 10 years now, first on his own website, then Salon.com, and now works for the Guardian.

I agree that we shouldn't be selling arms to the rebels. I do not agree that selling arms to Syrian rebels is 'just like Iran-Contra' or even warrants an investigation as stated in the OP.

Wow. All that typing and you absolutely failed to address the point that it was IRS employees that got the ball rolling on this investigation which was in direct contradiction to your OP statement.

No, not 'regardless'. Iran-Contra was a clear violation of US law. We sold weapons to a nation that was under an arms embargo that we helped put in place. We then took the money from those arm sales and funded a terrorist organization in Central America. These situations are nowhere near analogous.

Except this is nothing like Iran-Contra. We do not have an arms embargo against Syrian rebels. We are not taking the proceeds of those arm sales and using them to fund other clandestine coup attempts.

Sorry. should have quoted your commentary: And since the preface of the report that both the Blaze and CNS linked to multiple times within their article mentions (and the report goes on to mention at least twice more) that this investigation was started because IRS employees complained about...

Do you even look at the source material of the stuff you link to? The preface of the PDF states that the investigation was initiated because IRS employees noticed the fraudulent activities. You wouldn't have had to read the whole 40 pages document, just scanned the first few pages.
