		<description>Do you drive yourself to work?  I've heard that traffic is horrendous in Rio, but after NOVA maybe it isn't so bad!  I'm curious as to your work down there.  What's you line?  Do you get to any football (soccer) games?  I had the good fortune to attend one in Buenos Aires.  Storm troupers in helmets and carrying shields walked onto the field before the game started.  My plastic water bottle was confiscated - possible missile!  It was great fun though, and those So Americans can really play.
Thanks for the report!

PS  What did you mean by "my boys' soccer team folded"?</description>

		<description>Krutis,
Have not "been" to Copacabana, just drive thru it to get to work each day.  I am staying at Ipenema.  That being said, nothing much going on here afterhours (at least in Ipenema), unless, of course, you are willing to go to the Mall and pay R$15,000 for a watch or US$9.00 for a Coke out of the hotel fridge - lol.

I have not been to Santiago or Buenos Aires, but a few years ago had been to Honduras.  And no, unfortunately I do not speak Portugese other than "Bon dia" and "Obrigado" :-)  I usually try and learn the language of the country I visit, but when my boys' soccer team folded, that was put on back burner for the kids.

Weather down here is beautiful and of course, windy around mid-day.</description>

		<description>Hey, how is Copacabana?  Have you seen the Girl from Ipenema (sp?)?  Loved Nat King Cole singing that one.  Have been to Santiago and Buenos Aires but not Rio.  How's is your Portuguese coming along?</description>

		<description>Krutis, as a follow-up. I believe it was Anonymous who had said those comments about willing to defend America if attacked, if someone else, I apologize.  Anyways, it is REAL easy to say that and then when the time comes, do NOTHING (emphasis, not yelling).  To me that is hypocracy.  I have done something, I served, and proudly, I might add.  It's those people who SAY they will fight the good fight and then when provided the opportunity, instead of stepping up to bat, they come up with every excuse NOT to go.</description>

		<description>Krutis - no thanks in Miami, am in Rio and much prefer here - more people speak English here.  Alos, NOT feeling superior or big ego, I AM confident.  The comment was directed because the commentor stated that he was willing to die for his country - I told him how he could serve, that was all.

So, what is wrong about being "gungho on the military"???</description>

		<description>John Light - Not everyone is able to serve in the same way.  'ENLIST NOW'!  There's a hint in your comment that you feel superior to  those who haven't been in the military;  a rather big ego, iow.  As my kids used to say when a buddy got a big head:  "Why don't you fly to Miami!"   

Since you're so gungho on the military; Would you like to see the draft restored; not a lottery but for everybody, men and women?  Equality!  -  As for liberals being traitors.  I'll forgive that statement.  You must have been in your cups (coffee, of course).</description>

		<description>BlueBalls, you also write, "Oh, and it is interesting to note that in some countries your belittling of a former President would be consider treasonous as well. Funny how your logic only seems to work in one direction."

You know, you may be right, but we are NOT in "SOME" countries, my misguided friend, we are in The United States of America...or did you think you were still in your home country of Mexico???</description>

		<description>Leila, unless you committed an act of treason against the U.S. govt, you do not have to worry about me wanting you executed.  Or, if you are a child molestor or criminal, all of which I do not believe you are.

Turn PW Blue: You write "I will fight till my dying breath to protect our great nation from any who would seek to do her harm, either from outside or from within. I, therefore, find your cavalier sentiment that all who do not ascribe to your limited world view are inferior and enemies of the state worthy of execution."

Ok, prove it, big boy.  You SAY you will fight till your dying breath - do it.  Enlist RIGHT NOW.  The Taliban is doing all in their power to do us harm, both from within as well as overseas.  I served my country proud, I have walked the walk and talked the talk.  Been there, done that.  What have YOU done.

As far as the Constitution, your limited capacity, as well as lack of knowledge in American History (you must be new to this country), prove you know not of what you speak.  Traitors in time past HAVE BEEN EXECUTED.  I know you do not like that because you share their beliefs, but it is true.  I did not make those laws, go after the founding fathers, not me, buddy.

Again, I am NOT saying to kill those who do not agree with me...I do, however, believe in the death penalty and for its execution against traitors such as Jane Fonda and Bill Clinton.  And trust me, I am in the VAST majority on that one.  Just ask anyone who had a stay at the Hanoi Hilton.</description>

		<description>John Light, apart from always being gratuitously insulting (your reference to the mentally and physically challenged) you also seem to enjoy being inaccurate. I am not a supporter of Ms. Rishell's as you have inaccurately claimed. Nothing in what I posted suggests that I am. I don't live in the community where she is running her race and only have learned of her through this blog and other media.

Greg's analogy is still ludicrous, as is your constant call for executing people who disagree with you.</description>

"The summary execution of traitors, in times of war, is a right of a just government. Last time I checked, the actions of Jane Fonda and most Liberals today fall under those lines."

Speaking of interpreting the Constitution, please, sir, enlighten me as to which part of our Constitution makes this so?  Article III defines treason very precisely and doesn't include anything about "summary execution" ("Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court." Article III, Section 3).  In fact, the Constitutional definition of treason was written precisely to keep Congress from being able to extend the definition of treason beyond the narrow scope laid out in Article III.  Debate in the Constitutional Convention, during ratification, and public commentary from the time make clear that a restrictive concept of the crime of treason was imposed so that ordinary partisan divisions within political society were not to be escalated by the stronger into capital charges of treason, as so often had happened in England.  English law made it treason to "encompass or imagine the death of our Lord King."  This element of treason is intentionally omitted from the US Constitution as it was used to suppress opposition and render simple political dissent as punishable by death.

It is, in my mind, those who believe that all must in lock step behind our leader who threaten the fiber of this nation.  There is a world of difference between a traitor and a dissenter.

I, sir, love my country and am proud to be a citizen of the United States of America.  I did not serve in the Armed Forces, but  I would lay down my life to defend the American ideal of opportunity, equality, and justice espoused in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution.  I will fight till my dying breath to protect our great nation from any who would seek to do her harm, either from outside or from within.  I, therefore, find your cavalier sentiment that all who do not ascribe to your limited world view are inferior and enemies of the state worthy of execution.  Your blanket statement that most Liberals are traitors  fully contradicts the tenets upon which this great nation was founded.  We are a nation formed by people of all different creeds, beliefs, and backgrounds.  We have long drawn our strength from being able to bring all those ideas together and moving forward.  Our strength does not come from suppressing dissent and mandating compliance.

I will call to your attention that we live in a democracy founded under the tenet of government by, for, and of the people.  I will also call to your attention that the Bill of Right guarantees a set of individual and personal rights that don't come with strings attached or a requirement to never question those in power.  Questioning one's leaders does not constitute "treason" in a democracy.  Espousing a political viewpoint contrary to yours does not constitute treason.  In fact, reasoned dissent and its attendant discourse are the very foundations of the democratic ideal.

I thank you for your service and sacrifice while you wore the uniform of the armed forces of the United States of America, but that service does not entitle you to belittle or diminish the rights granted by our Founding Fathers for those you find in disagreement to your narrow point of view.  Advocating the political dissent be dealt with through a firing squad is repugnant.

Oh, and it is interesting to note that in some countries your belittling of a former President would be consider treasonous as well.  Funny how your logic only seems to work in one direction.</description>

		<description>Anonymous said on 2 Oct 2007: That would be the same ACLU that does everything in its power to keep DOWN Christianity, American values, etc and espouse it's own godless beliefs on the rest of us thru leftwing nutjob judges who legislate from the bench rather than interpret the Constitution.

The summary execution of traitors, in times of war, is a right of a just government.  Last time I checked, the actions of Jane Fonda and most Liberals today fall under those lines.  Unfortunately, providing aid and comfort to the enemy, as you are so willing to do, has become acceptable, thanks to your friend Bill "I never met an intern I did not like" Clinton.</description>

"Leila– Greg posts such things because it feeds the rabid appetites of those like “The Patriot” and John Light. Gotta give the fawning masses some red meat every now and then to keep them happy."

I am so honored to have been called out by someone who does not even have the cranal abilities to come up with a pseudonym, least of all use their real name.  Yes, it is true, I am a meat eater.  I also attended a once all male college and served in the U.S. Infantry as a Platoon Leader and am Airborne and Air Assault qualified, which means that my knuckles drag on my way to the "He Man Women's Hater Club."

Please, next time you wish you make a disparaging remark about "The Patriot" or myself, attempt to actually say something that would POSSIBLY give you credability.  I mean, really, "fawning masses"???  Come on, we BOTH have been called worse by better people than you.

If you do wish to expand your vocabulary, I would suggest to first stop being a vegan.  Then, volunteer for the Nation's Armed Services - MAYBE one of them will take you, but you will have to do a certain amount of pushups (after seeing Faisal Gill, you may do well to try the Navy, they will take anyone these days, lol).  Afterwards, while in Basic Training, keep mental note of everything you are called by the nice, friendly Drill Instructors.  You will be taking your first steps towards being a LOYAL American.  

If age prohibits you from becoming a Vet - you can't be THAT old, otherwise you WOULD have thought of something better to call us, then wath the first 15 minutes of "Full Metal Jacket" or "The Boys from Company C".  After you are done, walk up to a Veteran, apologize for your up-until that moment wasted life, and then feel free to agree to disagree with Greg, "The Patriot", or myself.

Have a nice  day and don't worry, I won't charge you anything for this lesson.  You are now a better person, Anonymous, than you were 2 minutes ago.</description>

<p>I am so honored to have been called out by someone who does not even have the cranal abilities to come up with a pseudonym, least of all use their real name.  Yes, it is true, I am a meat eater.

		<description>If you've never been to war, you can't possibly understand what an insult a person like Jeanette is to veterans and anyone who understands the human COST of war.  People who claim that war is unecessary (from the safety and comfort of their living room), that in some way associate themselves with war material for political gain are SICK, SICK people who only care about themselves.  It's an insult to anyone who paid the price for her freedom, for her to now reap the benefits of it while betraying what those lives really stood for as a demeaning campaign strategy. Jane Fonda never understood it either. War is sometimes necessary to protect even the sorriest excuse for an American from the misery of future harm and invasion, and oppresive dictatorial government.  That is what that flag represents.

Jeanette you are an insensitive idiot.</description>

		<description>Would that be the same ACLU that takes cases to make sure you have the right to say the repugnant things you just posted?

Advocating the murder of "libs"...yeah, that's the height of reasoned discourse.</description>

		<description>Ok, people, come on now DON'T you all have a clue???  Instead of reading the Communist Manefesto back in High School you SHOULD HAVE been paying attention to your English teacher.  What Greg meant was NOT that Jeanette looks like Hanoi Jane physically, but her action does.  That's like saying that Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and the like look a lot like the KKK, just the "Klan with a Tan", so to say.  And no, that was NOT a quote made up by me, rather by an esteemed Professor now (at least I believe he still instructs there) at George Mason University.

Jeanette's flag is red on the top, blue on the bottom, and there is a star there...VERY similar to the VC logo.  Remember girls, guys only see the PRIMARY colors so don't tell GL or myself that one of the blues is Aqua or something like that :-)

Another picture is HJ sitting at an anti-aircraft gun - if EVER there is a reason to hang/shoot her, THAT picture is it.  Next to it Greg posts a picture of Jeanette squatting (and by the way holding her hands in very much the same way as HJs) by a sign that, though not as despictable, just as eye catching.

Greg did NOTHING WRONG in showing this.  A lot of times people do things subconsciously and THAT is how we find out their TRUE beliefs and values.  If THIS was the ONLY thing Greg ever got Jeanette on, THEN you supporters of Jeanette (Krutis and Leila, for example) MIGHT have a good argument, though it would fall on deaf ears as again, Greg is NOT a journalist, rather a Blogger...he writes about that which interest him and he believes will interest others and we, his readers comment.

Me thinks that there are some on here who just need to get a life as well as a sense of humor.  Greg, good job in pointing these similarities out - maybe next time we should have numbers next to each item with it FULLY explained for the mentally/politically challenged.</description>

		<description>“If you have Jane Fonda, Osama Bin Laden and Mullah Omar all in a room together and only have two bullets - what do you do?”

Why, you line them up, shoot just once, then as the Soviets of old, you bill each of their families for the bullet that was used.  The 2nd bullet?  Well that's a bonus since it was just one shot, one kill.  Save it for either target practice of the next lib of the day - how about that scum fake soldier Rush talked about or any member of MoveOn.org or the ACLU???</description>

		<description>I don't understand why continuously in this blog, Greg grasps at straws.  The flag appears ultra-American, in fact it resembles the Texas state flag more than the VC. The star isn't even centered as it is on the Viet Cong flag (at least as far as one can tell since Greg distorts the image by not showing it entirely). The color scheme is obviously Americana. As for the politician's resemblance to a movie star in her prime, give me a break. She doesn't look like Jane Fonda at all except for perhaps length of hair and isn't posed the same way. And if she were, if she were a ringer physically for the actress, so what? How would that possibly be relevant unless she had plastic surgery to become a body double and therefore showed intent.

My question is why does Greg make such analogies. It almost seems like the fevered imaginings of a 3 am blog composition. It is so ludicrous to think that Rishell was inspired by the VC flag or even knew what that looked like. Her flag resembles a lot of other flags more.

For whatever reason, Greg seems to be unable to avoid impulses from time to time that damage the political, journalistic, and common-sense credibility of BVBL.</description>

Fact: Jackson Miller introduced bills to crack down on illegal aliens Jeanette Rishell only wanted to establish livability courts which does nothing except establish another level of bureaucracy that will do nothing

Fact: Jackson Miller is a police officer who cares about my neighborhood. He has done a lot to clean up my community. Jeanette Rishell is a member of Unity of the Community and helps raise funds for illegal aliens."

Well there you have it folks! She won't get my vote!</description>
