Falchard, I may disagree with you across the board but the 1st Amendment gives us both the right to say what we will. I urge you to source your so-called "facts." Lacking any, making declarative statements is a fools errand. U seem uninformed even if you are not. While you try to appear doctrinare, your logic is all over the map and inconsistant with doctrine. Conisder a few cases on both the above and earlier posts.
Falchard-many people agree with Cheney.
Truth-Less than 10% of the American people shared his beliefs and thought he was doing a good job by the ennd of his term. 5 different polling groups got the same results.

The 2nd Iraq war was begun in part on intelligence gotten from a single source who worked for an Iraqi ex-pat who wanted to be President. What arguing Iraq with you would be a pointless exercize, the idea of multiple non-partisan sources is not.

I would urge you to look for 2nd if not 3rd sources for the majority of your information as much of the so-calls facts you indicate are wrong.
You claim 30% tax rate on those making less than $25,000. Wrong-the IRS 2010 tax tables show %15 with deductions of many kinds.
The highest nominal tax rate for the superweatly if 38%. Your case does hold up. What you claim is factually tone deaf without supporting information.

As a matter of info, according to one of the final-5 differeing polling groups-NTY/CBS, Roper, Gallup,NBC and ABC less than 10% of all American's thougt Cheney was doing a good job. Shared my values -9 to 13 with a error margin of +/- 3 %.

So, where are these values-beliefs we all share with him?
Waterboarding? Secret meeting with enery firm execs-highly controversial to date. BP was part of the party. Permanent tax breaks for only those making over $2Million/yr?
If you want to make your point, taking the road were facts support your point is the best course.

I didn’t know that High Schools had been deputized by the federal courts or were the enforcers for the USG?. While some jobs –working for the USG- and student loans do require early signup, no one has been draft since in early 1970’s.

Ben Franklin had it right when he said anyone who would sacrifice his liberty for security deserves neither..

Cheney is the man. He tells it like it is, unlike some people in the current administration who thinks that if we suck up to terrorists, they'll like us and stop blowing us up. Everything this current dumb administration is doing is imbecilic, including telling NASA that their primary directive is "outreach to the muslim world. " As opposed to uh, space travel.

Guys like Cheney are like Dirty Harry and John Wayne. A dying breed that doesn't fit into today's Whole Foods, greenie, PETA-freak, cafe latte world.

[quoteJWL-Guys like Cheney are like "Dirty Harry and John Wayne"[/quote] Let’s see-one person isn’t real and the second played those not-real people, and neither was none of their work has any link to real world problem. Choose your hero’s with greater care.
If Bush and Cheney were soooo righteous-why, did they play games with Pat Tillman’s death? He did what he thought was right by going into the military-admirable. His death was a sad moment, but he was shot in the back by friendly fire. Not a hero, but a decent guy. Cheney and Bush dishonored his death but trying to use it as a PR victory. Disgusting.
Here is an idea for you--Take some classes at "Beck U."
For the politically playable, mentally pliable -ethically lost souls who reduce real problems to Captain Crunch
