In June, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH, Friend of the Show) promised that his congressional committee would hold new 9/11 hearings "sometime in September." These hearings were to focus on specific narrow aspects of 9/11 which, incredibly, have never been properly looked into, such as the unprecedented short-selling of airline stocks just prior to September 11, 2001.
These hearings have now been postponed until further notice.
"It's not going to happen in 2007," says a spokesperson for the House Subcommittee on Domestic Policy, which Kucinich chairs. But Natalie Laber, Kucinich's press representative, notes that while "nothing scheduled right now," the hearings are not dead or off the table.
Campaign insiders who have spoken to Elizabeth Kucinich in recent weeks have stated that the candidate's wife insists the hearings will take place. But when is anyone's guess. In the meantime, rumblings on the blogs indicate some progressives feel that the hearings have been canceled either from political pressure or because it's a hot potato issue which could be tricky for a presidential candidate to take on.

Okay, Life, let's go through the BS one step at a time here. Glad to see you have at least changed your mind on the remote-controlled commercial airliner issue. Phrases below that are in quotes are from my posts where you recopied them to comment on them...
----------------------------

LifeBeginsAt200MPH said...
"1) It is impossible to fly commerical airliner-sized planes by remote control"
I NEVER said that. I know better and know more about "drones" and airplanes than you'll ever know.
----------------------------
Oh, really?

LifeBeginsAt200MPH said...
"What about Boeing and the excellent anti-hijacking capabilities that were developed and installed in their planes decades ago, not the least of which is automatic tower-control or remote-control of the plane in case of emergency?"
Where on earth do you come up with this crap at? I worked on airplanes for years, both civil and commercial and that is absolute BS. In the first place, FAA regs do not allow "Remote Control" of ANY aircraft carrying passengers. And it's fiscally, physically, and practically impossible.
ILS systems of different categories allow for different "control" systems. Such as CAT 3 ILS which has auto glideslope, throttle control and several other features for landing in fog, but "Remote Control" is unreal.
Point two:
"2) Commercial 757's can do 500 mph at sea level with only a bit of minor shaking -- nothing somebody who has never flown the plane before can't handle"
No reason why they can't, especially in a descent with full power on.
---------------------------
Still no references on this one, Life. The one you later cited:
http://www.alexisparkinn.com/
photoga...lery/Videos/2006-757
_departure.wmv
is about the Alexis Park Inn in Iowa City and does not seem to have the information you presented. You are therefore still in the crapper with me on this issue, especially with how the plane handles under these conditions and if a first-time-out pilot can reasonably handle it to hit the Pentagon so dead on target.
I would prefer to hear directly from a test pilot from Boeing on this one who has done it -- flown a 757 at 500 mph at sea level -- though maybe they never tested it like this with a real pilot at the controls. Ironically it may have all been remote-controlled for this type of testing.
Point 3:
"3) From the ground, you can see passengers in the windows of commerical airliners flying by."
Wanta' borrow my glasses? At low altitude and only yards away, a "glimpse" is possible.
----------------------------------
'From yards away' the angle is too steep to see passengers. Once the angle is flat enough, you are too far away to see people. Add to this the window glare and reflection and speed of the plane, and your "possible glimpse" is really more like a "highly unlikely glimpse."
I would say anybody claiming to see passengers on that plane (and who claimed this in the first place -- where were they standing?) were probably not reliable witnesses for this one thing.
Point 4:
"4) The nose of the plane only appears to pierce through WTC2 but it didn't really because of top secret information yet to be revealed concerning compressed video footage"
Something obviously came through the building. So what? If it was the nose cone where is it? Where are the pictures of it on the ground?
-----------------------------------
Glad you at least admit something came through the building, especially since my argument is that nothing *probably* should have gone completely through the building in the first place, even the engines you mention as a possibility.
As for "where is it?" Well, good question. Where is the piece of something that came through? Was the engine found as you seem to claim?
I say the video footage shows the nose-piece disintegrating in the explosion, and I've mentioned this several times, but you keep insisting that I produce that disintegrated nose cone for some reason, as if that's some kind of requirement I must meet.
Point 5:
"5) Thermite doesn't explode"
Technically it doesn't. It can burn faster than hell giving the impression of "exploding". How much explosive work have you done in your life? Not as much as me.
--------------------------------
Technically, it does, under certain circumstances...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MvvxndPDTk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIqC610k1gY&NR
And Wiki:
"It is possible to start the reaction using a propane torch if done correctly. The torch can preheat the entire pile of thermite which will make it explode instead of burning slowly when it finally reaches ignition temperature."
The only difference between a "fast reaction" and an "explosion" is the speed of the reaction. A "fast thermite reaction that looks like an explosion" is an explosion, deary.
As I wrote on 8/20/07 2:04 PM:
"My official stance on thermite and 9/11 is therefore as follows:
Under certain conditions, thermite can explode. Whether these conditions are practical or applicable in any way to what happened to the WTC towers on 9/11 needs further investigation."
My "further investigation" turned up an interesting thesis where laser induced reactions with nanoparticle thermite were studied and shown to increase reaction times significantly.
http://tinyurl.com/2jy58b
This, in combination with a fancier laser that further increases the reaction time, such as one using ultrashort laser pulsing:
http://tinyurl.com/yqzf99
might just do the trick for possibly one of the most explosive reactions in history.
"6) Lasers can't be used to trigger chemical explosions because in order to do this, it would require steel to go from solid to gaseous phase."
Never said that either. In order for your missing mass to happen though, that's what would have had to happen. And lasers/particle beams don't work through dust clouds.
---------------------------------
Well, the exact details of whatever the hell it is you keep trying to say on this argument doesn't matter because no matter how you slice this one, it is an impossible argument to make and win. It all comes back to this one fatal flaw -- you can't have it both ways on the energy argument.
The following two statements are mutually exclusive (i.e., they can't be both true at the same time).
1) Plane crashes and gravity alone provided enough energy to do what was observed to the towers
2) DEW's, in addition to plane crashes and gravity, don't provide enough energy to do what was observed to the towers.
Once and for all, Life, WTF is your friggin problem with DEW energy levels, other than what is being fed to you by the Anonymous Physicist (aka, Greg Jenkins)? If a DEW provided 0 energy to the mix, it would still be enough to destroy the towers as observed, according to your government theory.
Points 7, 8, and 9, involve real observations (not video artifacts):
7) A steel spire "appearing" to turn to dust
8) The entire east face of WTC1 heavily giving off a greyish-white fume as if the steel facade itself were on fire, but only for a short time after WTC2 was destroyed.
9) Cars not showing typical "fire burns" but instead, only exposed metal parts of the car being eaten away while the rest of the car, including the gas tank, being left intact.
This is not me "seeing what I want to see." This is me seeing what everybody else is free to go see for themselves, and me (and anybody else taking the time to look) wanting a reasonable explanation for these odd phenemona.
You missed one quote...
Does the term Obsessive/Compulsive ring a bell?
There were no remote controlled drones or missiles on 9/11. 19 Arab hijackers crashed the planes full of Americans.
There was no CD, DEWs, coating, lathering, fuming, dustification, or any other science fiction.
There was no "inside job" by "ops", the KKK, Blackwater, or neo nazis, or anybody else.
You have never "proved" anything. All you, The Doc, or the rest of your buddies have done is "interpret" what happened as they want to believe it.
There are thousands of pages, papers, and more that debunk every bit of "proof" you "truthers" put forward. You simply choose not to believe it because you hate GWB, Republicans, and, it appears, men in general.
I have repeatedly said that if you want an independent investigation, fine, more power to ya'. I'm not the least concerned about what it will show. IF it ever happens.
And you still can't grasp the logic behind the whole scenario you keep arguing about.
"I say it was Xenu and the Body Thetans. I have the proof. PROVE me wrong."
Ya' just don't get it do ya' dear?
What about the airline stock sales?
And 7WTC?
Mate.
WTC7 had massive damage from the antenna tower on top of the WTC tower. 7 was constructed over a Con Edison substation that had been built years earlier with inadequate allowances made for a building as large as 7 being constructed over it. WTC7 was a "unique" design that was designed to carry and distribute the load over the "too small" base that had been built years earlier in anticipation of a building being built over it someday.
When the tower/antenna off the WTC hit the front of 7 it put a 13-20 story gash in the front of it and severely damaged one/several of the main "unique" supports that distributed the load over the Con Ed substation. They knew it was coming down for hours before it did. There were uncontrolled raging fires in 7 for hours from the materials inside and a force fed fuel line to a emergency power generator located on floor 7, if I remember right.
Witness' reported that the front of the building was gone, ripped open, bulging at the corners, groaning, creaking, and many other descriptions of the massive damage it has sustained.
And it did not fall at free fall speed. The east penthouse collapsed first and then pulled the rest of the building down on top of itself. If took close to 14 seconds for the building from start to finish to fall.
There are many pages that describe in detail what the construction was of WTC7. It is not hard to understand why it collapsed after studying the facts about how it was constructed. For lack of a better term, it was the proverbial straw that held up the camels back that broke and thus, broke the camels back.
There is no mystery as to what happened with WTC7.
The why the delay with the NIST report?
Typical Troll BS, moving on.
How in the hell would I know what the delay is? Like it's MY fault?
Have all the dam investigations ya' want. I don't care, more power to ya'.
"Typical Toll BS"? What BS? The fact you all are blind to the evidence, or you just hate GWB and anybody who doesn't swallow your "version" of the "truth" hook, line, and sinker?
The truth is out there, you just don't want to accept it.
"anybody who doesn't swallow your "version" of the "truth" hook, line, and sinker?
The truth is out there, you just don't want to accept it."
Ditto...
I double dog ditto ya'..LOL
Troll? Op is more like it at this point, Shoes. WTC7 is one of many litmus tests that poor Life has failed miserably in the "How to Spot an Op" rules of thumb circulating in the Truth Movement.
I have already moved him on and off the Op list once before, but this WTC7 distraction is the litmus test that broke the camel's back.
You can't blame most people out there who aren't paying much attention to buy the official gov story on WTC7 (oh, wait a minute -- there isn't an official gov story other than what the ops out there have been instructed to spin), but once somebody looks into it as deeply as Life apparently has and is still claiming this was not 100% controlled demolition is 100% op.
More like a D Op E.
I've been arm-chair diagnosed a number of things (especially when somebody is insulted by my quest for verifiable facts), but this is the first OCD.
It is also untrue that I hate men. I try not to hate anybody, but if I get mad at a general group of people, especially recently, I'd have to say that age sixty and older women currently in positions of power just take the cake for me.
You have to hand it to this older generation of powerful women who made it as far as they did by playing the men's game well, but given what we know now, older women in positions of power really should know better -- and really should stop either crapping on younger women or misguiding them completely, for fear of their own positions.
Rosie has her Barbara Walters and I have my own female "disappointments." I am not sure if there is a connection here, but ironically, of my list public-figure, elderly female "disappointments," all come from San Francisco: Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, and just about every person involved in abuse against children in the SF Unified Family Court.
"is 100% op."
You wouldn't know an "op" if one bit you in the ass, and if I was one, you'd sure in the hell never know it.

You all hate GWB, Republicans, and people who do not kowtow to your insipid "theories". "How dare you challenge us? You're a hater! Can't you see it's all a conspiracy against (insert fav victim)?"
You refuse to accept any viewpoint other than your own, because it must be based on hatred, or agents, or trolls or ops or whatever screwy buzzword happens to be in vogue at the moment.
You accept the word of anyone who appears to be "smarter" than you, so therefore "they" are smarter than anyone else because you believe them. You are too blind to see that they are charlatans who are only manipulating the weaker minded so as to promote their own sense of self importance and fill their wallets.
Your own personal sense of self importance is misguided and only fueled by the reinforcement provided by other miscreants who can only find solace in those so like minded.
The vast majority of Americans, Dems and Repubs alike, know what happened and do not care about The "Truth" movement. THAT is why "nothing" has happened for the last 6 years and why nothing probably ever will happen. It's called being on the fringe and out of the mainstream.
You have my sympathy...
Why are you here, Life? You said yourself conservatives have blown off this site and everybody else believes the official story, so why are you here?
Me Doth Thinkest Thou Protesteth Too Much
My profile pretty much says it all...
I saw your links, Life. Looks to me like you may be more concerned about your image, and especially being called a "crazy conspiracy theorist," than you are about asking questions and verifying facts. A Copernicus you are definitely not.
If you are so worried about the name calling, Life, just tell people you are a 9/11 Truther -- somebody who supports disseminating facts and truth about that day. Is this not who you are?
I especially loved the guy who claims to have wasted a year of his life being a "Truther" and after an entire year, the best he could do was worship the ground Loose Change walked on, that is, until a video criticizing Loose Change was released, and it burst his little bubble to the point of him leaving the truth movement in disgust.
I am not even going to waste one more second on pondering whether this guy is an op or just another sheep who believes whatever he is told (I'm just going with the latter w/o further ado).
For the record, I have never seen Loose Change nor its criticism piece, though I should probably go do that ASAP to see what all the fuss is about on both sides.
Dollars to dimes says neither side mentions a single piece of evidence that I presented to Congress in my letter of September 20, 2007. There were no women scientists involved on either side of the Loose Change debate, were there?
"For the record, I have never seen Loose Change nor its criticism piece,"
good grief...

And don't forget to get the accompanying video guides to Loose Change. A must have for serious viewers.

THE POLITICALLY CORRECT ELITIST LEFTWING LIBERAL HANDBOOK
Our Hallowed Sixty-Six Commandments
1. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.
2. You have to believe that the same teacher who can’t teach 4th graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.
3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese and North Korean communists.
4. You have to believe that there was no art before federal funding.
5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth’s climate, and more affected by soccer moms driving SUVs.
6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial, but being lesbian is natural.
7. You have to be against capital punishment for criminals, even murderers, but support abortion on demand.
8. You have to believe that businesses create oppression, and governments create prosperity. As a true Elitist Leftwing Liberal you have to believe that no Americans ever lost their jobs or became homeless except during the Reagan and Bush Administrations; these are problems that can be solved only by lotsa money and Liberals in the federal government.
9. You have to believe that hunters don’t care about nature, but loony activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.
10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.
11. You have to believe that the military, not politicians, start wars.
12. You have to believe the NRA is bad, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.
13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.
14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, General Robert E. Lee and Thomas Edison are.
15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas, preferential treatment and set-asides are not racist.
16. You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is normal, and really a very nice person.
17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism and communism haven’t worked anywhere it’s been tried, is because the right people haven’t been in charge. You must also vociferously deny the fact that “Nazi” is an abbreviation for Adolf Hitler’s Nationalsozialist party, because Hitler makes socialism look bad, unlike humanitarian socialists like Josef Stalin, Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein and a host of other socialists who raped, tortured, maimed and slaughtered their own people in the name of political and economic advancement for the plight of the downtrodden.
18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a draft-dodging liar and sex offender belonged in the White House.
19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites and bestiality as well as organizations such as NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) and other groups that promote pedophilia should be constitutionally protected, but symbols such as the Cross, the Star of David and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.
20. You have to believe that illegal Democratic Party funding by the Chinese government is somehow in the best interests of the United States.
21. You have to refuse to discuss the issues in a rational manner and whenever someone attempts to do so, throw a 3 ring tantrum, rant and rave, go into a lunatic rage and outshout them (preferably with profanity and name-calling) and stick to personal slurs, smear tactics, slander and building strawmen so you can knock down the strawmen (oops, sorry, strawpersons) and hopefully sidetrack the conversation away from your lack of ability to support your positions or refute the arguments of others. When you can’t think of anything plausible to say, and name-calling and personal slurs are no longer working because people with IQs above ginger snaps can see right through such childish tactics, an especially effective prepubescent ploy that will at least convince other Elitist Leftwing Liberals, is to claim your adversaries hate America, or if you’re on the cowardly side, indignantly ask them why they hate America even though it’s obvious that its the Elitist Leftwing Liberals who hate America and Americans. Uncles Lenin and Stalin always urged us to accuse our adversaries of the very things we’re trying to hide. If you repeat this enough times, Elitist Leftwing Liberals will be offering awards - they may not be candy bars, but, you will be sure to win some snickers.
22. You must always ignore the message and attack the messenger. When stuck, remember the tactic that won’t reveal to other Elitist Leftwing Liberals your unwillingness to rebut the issue under discussion or your inability to think or say anything original: smugly change a couple of your adversaries’ words, parrot and repeat their comments back to them verbatim and even if it isn’t true, by all means always be sure to accuse your opponents of using the very tactics the Elitist Leftwing Liberals try to hide, remembering all the while that Unca Lenin would be proud as punch.
23. No matter how credible a source may be - always do your Elitist Leftwing Liberal duty and rabidly claim it’s been debunked and discredited and call anyone who believes it “mean spirited”, crazy, a Nazi or any other of the monikers from the Elitist Leftwing Liberal grab bag of infantile epithets and sarcastic sobriquets even if you invented your “data” out of thin air or found it on the webpage of some Elitist Leftwing Liberal lemming on the lunatic fringe. See Article #27 for the suggested politically correct buzzwords to use in your tantrums.
24. Whenever demonstrated facts don’t agree with your agenda, twist them and mangle them until you can make them fit into your prejudices, the media will assist you greatly.
25. Once you’ve told a lie or slandered someone, be sure to repeat it as often as possible until it becomes true. “Members and front organizations must continually embarrass, discredit and degrade our critics. When obstructionists become too irritating, label them as fascist, or Nazi or anti-Semitic …. The association will, after enough repetition, become “fact” in the public mind.” [ ~ Communist Party, Moscow Central Committee, 1943]
26. You have to believe that all spirituality and all religions except Islam are bad.
27. You must use the following buzzwords as often as possible without necessarily knowing their definitions: “Nazi”, “Hitler”, “gestapo”, “police state”, “police brutality”, “totalitarian state”, “imperialism”, “imperialist”, “running dogs of [fill in the blank], “greedy corporations”, “shrub”, “fascist”, “paranoid”, “paranoia”, “goosestepping”, “ruling-class”, “class-strife”, “class warfare”, “stolen election”, “unconstitutional”, “racist”, “entitlements”, “hate”, “bourgeois” or better yet, “petty bourgeois”, “counter-revolutionary”, “progressive”, “red-baiter”, “witch hunt”, “inquisition”, “anti-Communist”, “deviationist”, “revisionist”, “reactionary”, “multiculturalism”, “oppressed”, “unilateral”, “victims of Yankee oppression”, “plight of the [fill in the blank] people”, “victimhood”, “mean-spirited”, “McCarthyism”, “jingoism”, “flag-wavers”, “neocons”, “alternative(s)”, “empowered” and, of course, overuse of the indispensable “F” word.
28. You have to believe that there were never any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, even though they were used against Iran, the Kurds and the Iraqi people and even though the many Democrats warned us about WMD before the Iraqi invasion: William Jefferson Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Sandy Berger, Madeline Albright, Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, Robert Byrd, Jay Rockefeller, John Kerry, Bob Graham, Ted Kennedy, Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Henry Waxman and vice-president Al Gore to name only the most vociferous.
29. You have to be a purveyor of perennial pessimism and a dispatcher of doomsday gloom and hyperbolic hysteria whenever you can work some scare tactics into the foreboding warnings of eventual catastrophe at the hands of your adversaries, i.e. people who disagree with you.
30. Whenever possible, if you hear or read something that seems quite logical and might influence someone against the Elitist Leftwing Liberal viewpoint, be sure to pounce on the exception or some tiny, inconsequential irrelevancy, such as the misspelling, poor punctuation or mispronunciation of a word, unusual facial expression, article of clothing or some morsel of arcane trivia or irrelevant minutiae in an attempt to derail the conversation into petty bickering replete with name-calling and personal slurs. [Use of the “F” word is particularly effective, especially when combined with prepubescent profanity and puerile posturing.]
31. Always have unkind and accusatory slurs cocked and ready to use regarding any armed forces personnel, especially military people in harm’s way other than your own candidates, sell-outs, turncoats, traitors and those who are guilty of or advocate treason. The exception, of course, would be soldiers killed or wounded when a Republican is president - then take an indignant stance and shriek hysterically at the tragedy - don’t worry other Elitist Leftwing Liberals will realize your disdain for military people who are characterized favorably when you think it will make conservatives look bad in the eyes of Elitist Leftwing Liberals, the lunatic fringe and the politically illiterate.
32. When your adversary presents a particularly damning discovery, pervert it, twist it around, fabricate something out of thin air and accuse him of something he didn’t say, falsely attribute your invention to him and then proceed to argue against your own creation with the hope nobody will notice. This is best done by beginning your remarks with “Translation:”, “hence”, or “in other words” or “so what you are suggesting” or “are you saying that…” followed by the most implausible, irrelevant non sequiturs you can fantasize.
33. You have to remember that nobody but your adversaries, real or imagined are ever to blame for anything and no one should ever be accountable or held responsible for their words or actions - they’re just misunderstood or some such sociological mumbo-jumbo. Blaming without offering solutions is the typical modus operandi of Elitist Leftwing Liberals.
34. Remember our venerated motto: Victimhood is a veritable virtue! You have to be a victim of as many forms of melodrama as possible and be ever vigilant to promote victimization of almost anything and anyone although that’s very difficult to reconcile with the assertion that nobody’s to blame for anything they do, except, of course, the people who don’t agree with you. Whenever you get confused, remember the Double Standard will always come to your rescue when it’s difficult to justify victimhood to people who are rational.
35. You must always have Double Standards, a higher standard that you demand of nations, corporations and individuals you don’t like and especially people who don’t agree with you - and another set of standards for yourself and your Elitist Leftwing Liberal confederates which is preferably no standards at all.
36. You must with all your heart and soul hate America and Americans and bash them at every opportunity, while claiming you love America though you contend that American patriots are really traitors. And do remember to accuse people who don’t agree with you of being the ones who hate America and Americans. This won’t confuse people with IQs above eggplants, but remember some of our best friends are about as intellectually astute as ashtrays. While Elitist Leftwing Liberals hate red-blooded Americans, remember we have blood also and it’s always “B Negative”.
37. You must always remember that you are a member of the grown up 4-H and it is incumbent on you to always display their watchwords: hallucinations, hyperbole, hysteria and hate.
38. Remember to claim that the flag is only a piece of cloth and stands for nothing while you explain how you love America and that’s why you howl and hurl hateful epithets regarding America and Americans, especially those who disagree with you.
39. You are always to belittle and deride concepts such as optimism, patriotism, honor, honesty, faithfulness, fidelity, loyalty, courage, bravery, principles, trust, trustworthiness, reliability, responsibility, respect, common-courtesy, common decency, kindness, Good Samaritanism, sacrifice, patience, fortitude, values, integrity and character as being naive and passe. Call anyone who uses those words, “judgemental” and “intolerant”.
40. You are encouraged to lionize, venerate, yea, worship sloth, lust, self-centeredness, selfishness, instant gratification, slander, criminal behavior, drug addiction, degenerate behavior, promiscuous sex, lewd remarks and behavior, rudeness, crudeness, crassness, smutty language, vulgarity of all kinds, disrespect for authority, laws, law enforcement and military while showing respect for prostitution, drug dealing, gang-bangers, organized crime, pornography and generally everything that would aid in tearing down the social fabric of the United States of America and all she stands for.
41. Be sure to exhibit incessant anger at America and Americans in general and rage at conservatives, centrists and anyone who doesn’t agree with your ideas.
42. You must be “politically correct” when it suits your purpose and point out that political correctness is a form of freedom rather than more mind-control, but, it’s more important to demand that others be “politically correct” than actually follow those demands yourself.
43. You must always offer praise and/or excuses for all of America’s enemies, especially terrorists who aren’t really murdering cowards, but, rather multiculturally misunderstood.
44. You have to believe that just because your candidate lost an election (by all means stomp and shout “election fraud” or “stolen election”) or an unacceptable law was passed there’s always the possibility of going to court where an Elitist Leftwing Liberal judge is presiding so that you can get your way in spite of the wishes of the electorate and those of their congressional delegates as elections and legislation are more effectively decided by certain judges and their courts than by the voters and their legislatures. But, be sure to stress that you believe in the Constitution and remember to always claim that the candidate, election or law you don’t like is unconstitutional. In fact, for argumentation purposes, it’s always a good idea to claim that any law or action that doesn’t please you is unconstitutional as it’s an excellent buzzword and makes you sound like you might know something esoteric. After all, guys like Noam Chomsky and Alan Dershowitz made a career of such tactics.
45. Whenever someone says something that rubs your prejudgements the wrong way, ignore the contents of the remarks and vilify, defame, malign and slander that person while claiming everything that person has ever said or will ever utter is wrong. You are encouraged to take cheap shots and engage in name-calling and ad hominem attacks, but, above all, if you’re a true standard-bearer for the Elitist Leftwing Liberals, avoid discussing issues you can’t debate - which are, of course, all of them.
46. Honor multiculturalism and know its “truths”: “Multiculturalism, n. The doctrine that persons of European ancestry are morally inferior to all other human beings.” ~ John Derbyshire, inspired by Ambrose Bierce and his Devil’s Dictionary.
47. When confronted with something that is critical of Elitist Leftwing Liberals, read or listen to one or two lines and jump to conclusions (it’s the best exercise many Elitist Leftwing Liberals get) that the beginning was awful (meaning it might ask an Elitist Leftwing Liberal to actually think or to look at Elitist Leftwing Liberals in an uncomplimentary light) - and claim you didn’t bother to read the rest or listen to the remainder all the while claiming to be open-minded.
48. You must take it as your sworn duty to do your utmost to prevent people from printing, voicing, writing or otherwise disseminating any communication which is either unfavorable to or not in agreement with Elitist Leftwing Liberal dogma and you must also strictly enforce Political Correctness, while at the same time doing your best to muzzle and silence those who don’t agree with you. Tell adversaries to “Do as I say, and I’ll do as I please!” This is not censorship, hypocrisy or Double Standards, but rather, “Freedom of Speech” an important Constitutional Amendment written to give Elitist Leftwing Liberals their God-given rights, even if they renounce and don’t believe in God and even if they think rights are only for Elitist Leftwing Liberals.
49. If you don’t agree with the points of others, under no circumstances should you present a rational counter argument or discuss the issue itself when it is much more effective to call people liars and cast aspersions on their veracity. This is also effective if a person makes a mistake, don’t overlook or excuse the error or admit there was a possibility of a mistake - call them liars ferociously, unless it’s a petty sideline mistake that will help you construct smoke and mirrors, in that case see Article #30 above.
50. Conservatives suggest that people should “hate the sin, love the sinner”. Remember, as an Elitist Leftwing Liberal you must always hate the sinner [person or corporation who doesn’t agree with you] and love the sin as all sins are “relative” and finding anything wrong with them is “judgemental”. This may be difficult to grasp at first glance since Elitist Leftwing Liberals don’t believe in “sin” [unless it’s being applied via Double Standard, see Article #35, toward corporations or people who don’t agree with Elitist Leftwing Liberals] except for hypocrisy which is the only sin, when applied to our opponents and is one of the most effective slurs in our arsenal. See Article #54
51. You must never be willing to take the consequences of your own actions or words or expect your confederates to do the same as long as you can unjustly lay the blame on someone else. But, of course, it is critical that you demand that people who don’t agree with your ideas be held to strict adherence of taking the consequences of their actions: See Article #35 above regarding nurturing our trademark: Double Standards.
52. When asked to “cite” or give citations, sources or support for your propaganda, you can do one of 4 things: Use secondary sources which supposedly give “expert” Elitist Leftwing Liberal opinion on the primary sources when they’re not ignoring them, taking phrases out of context, twisting their words or perverting their meaning; make an official-looking, bogus website (provided you know someone who knows how to make one and is also literate enough to write without a spell check) with the fake “facts” you’ve presented; refer them to a propaganda site that may or may not support your claims or the third and preferred solution is to give them the URL of an official or universally accepted website and claim vehemently that the so-called information you’ve invented, created or faked is from that website though anyone who looks won’t find it there.
53. Remember, “A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money.” ~ G. Gordon Liddy
54. You have to support and promote socialized medicine as “Socialized medicine is based on the belief that, while individual bankruptcy by medical bills is tragic and wicked, bankrupting the entire country is beneficial and noble.” ~ Nicolas Martin [”If you think health care is expensive now, wait ’til you see how much it costs when it’s free.” ~ P. J. O’Rourke]
55. When your adversaries make statements that ring true, seem logical or appear to have merit, ask them completely irrelevant non sequitur questions in an attempt to evade the issue and derail the conversation. If that doesn’t work, announce with all due grandiosity that your opponents refuse to answer your questions or give cites, therefore, they cannot support their assertions. This ploy of course won’t work with people who can think, but, it will bring Elitist Leftwing Liberals and the lunatic fringe out of the woodwork to jump on your bellicose, bungling bandwagon.
56. You must always vociferously and incessantly point out that the reason any conservative’s failing is always major news is that it allows liberals to engage in their very favorite taunt: “Hypocrisy!” Hypocrisy is the only sin that really inflames us Elitist Leftwing Liberals and, of course, only applies to others because Liberals can always invoke the time-honored Double Standard. Inasmuch as Elitist Leftwing Liberals have no moral principles, we can sit back, march, or otherwise create a ruckus as we criticize other people for failing to meet the standards that liberals simply renounce. It’s an intriguing strategy. By openly admitting to being philanderers, draft dodgers, liars, weasels and cowards, liberals avoid ever being hypocrites. Remember, admission that morals and ethics are passe always gets you off the hook - but, do not hesitate to point out the immorality or unethical behavior of people who don’t agree with Elitist Leftwing Liberals.
57. Remember, as a cheerleader for decadence, when any despot, criminal or maniac is treated in any way differently from the way he treated others, it’s your sworn duty to scream to the heavens that he isn’t being treated with dignity and is being embarrassed in spite of the fact he may have raped, tortured, maimed and slaughtered others; as an Elitist Leftwing Liberal you must remain silent about the victims of despots, criminals and maniacs. The victims got what they deserved and despots, criminals and maniacs are to be honored, lionized, venerated and if they’re bad enough, worshipped.
58. As an Elitist Leftwing Liberal, you must believe that all America foreign policy must have the unanimous approval of France, Russia, Syria, Cuba, North Korea, Communist China and the United Nations.
59. You must learn to be agile at pulling the old Elitist Leftwing Liberal Switcheroo. Naturally in normal discourse, you must incessantly and nauseatingly bash your country, slur and slander the founding fathers and American istitutions like the police, FBI, CIA, etc., calling them terrorists and murderers, disparage all religions except Islam, denounce all military institutions and personnel, chide all people who have moral convictions and on and on [See articles 1-58]; but, remember, when trying to win a petty bickering match, employ the Elitist Leftwing Liberal Switcheroo - which means dropping your old mantras and bromides and immediately feigning to embrace your opponents’ views momentarily while you don the mask of reverence for those you hate, but are aware that your adversaries admire. This is particularly effective when showing mock concern for American armed services personnel who are in harms’ way under an administration that doesn’t have Elitist Leftwing Liberal Lemming approval. If you are successful enough in public discourse and if you exhibit it with enough ferocity and frequency, you may be eligible to win a toaster from The Elitist Leftwing Liberal Liberty Lobby.
60. As an Elitist Leftwing Liberal, you must be like a feminist bookstore in that you have no humor department, therefore display no sense of humor while making zero effort to distinguish between serious commentary and obvious humor, satire, and sarcasm. It helps clarify the profile of Elitist Leftwing Liberals.
61. As an Elitist Leftwing Liberal, you must shout “Hypocrite” and “Hypocrisy” whenever your fantasies indicate that an adversary accepts the entirety of a political party, political administration or political philosophy. If the person purports to have any disagreements with that political party, political administration or political philosophy, maliciously call them “Hypocrites” while foaming at the mouth, gnashing your teeth, beating your breasts and tearing your hair. It’s the Elitist Leftwing Liberal Catch-22 where you are going to brand them “Hypocrites” no matter what they say or do. After all, “Hypocrite” is our favorite word and the only sin we recognize - in others, of course.
62. You must always be conscious of Political Correctness. “‘You’re not allowed to call them dinosaurs anymore.’ said Yo-less. ‘It’s speciesist. You have to call them pre-petroleum persons.’” ~ Terry Pratchett
63. Remember, one of the Elitist Leftwing Liberal hallmarks is to try to instill fear and use whatever scare tactics are available. This in conjunction with doomsday prophecies, perennial pessimism and hopelessness, real or imagined, will hopefully amplify the fear in others. “Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.” ~ Bertrand Russell
64. Whenever someone offers documentation or legal proof, one effective method of obfuscation is to claim the documents, certificates, court orders or whatever were forged, fraudulent, fake or fudged. The same thing can be done when someone offers proof of candidates’ popularity because they were elected to office - you can merely spare the gore and claim the election was rigged and the rightful candidate was robbed. Remember Uncle Joe’s Maxim: “Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.” ~ Josef Stalin
Poor Uncle Joe didn’t know about using the courts to circumvent legislation and elections.
65. You must always insist that the _Holy Bible_ must never be read in schools - even by students who get free condoms (though it can be burned) but, it’s acceptable reading in penitentiaries and people testifying in court must swear on the _Holy Bible_, but, the _Bible’s_ “Ten Commandments” cannot be displayed at the courthouse by court order.
66. You, as an Elitist Leftwing Liberal, have to believe that all of the above is part of a vast right wing conspiracy.
Remember that in order for us to coerce loyalty we must levy severe warning that failure to adhere strictly to the demands presented in this consecrated manifesto is considered HERESY and could result in your not receiving invitations to important Elitist Leftwing Liberal functions such as homosexual marriages, ritual flag burnings, tossing medals (yours or anyone else’s) onto the White House lawn or marching in “Free Saddam Hussein” protest rallies wearing official footwear: John Kerry Flip-Flops.
STAY LEFT - YOU FOOL! ~ “No amount of money, influence, persuasion or words can possibly paint Elitist Leftwing Liberals in a worse light than they gladly portray themselves!”
