Q: Hey, MooPig -- What are you running to?

by Pat Darnell
MP: Unknown: I'm just running.... and running. I'm not hostile, nor hungry, just running... to and fro... I'm a polite, gentle cow, and good conversationalist.

Q: Then What are you running from?

MP: False Modesty....

...and from a system that doesn't work. You see I was blessed with work. Now it seems I can't work anywhere, due to some shift in our homeland compass headings for motivations and rewards. I would say I have been out of the loop, for about twelve years now.

Q: Are you Guilty or something, MooPig?

MP: What? You don't believe me? Have you ever heard of Gitmo?

As of March 16, 2005, the Army was reporting 68 detainee deaths. Of those, 24 were confirmed or suspected criminal homicides, but again, a full 15 of those homicides occurred at point of capture in Iraq and Afghanistan. Do 24 criminal homicides out of the over 50,000 detainees taken as of September 2004 represent a criminal abuse of power? How many enemy soldiers died at the hands of their captors in previous wars? What proportion of al Qaeda captives survive detention? (Heather Mac Donald; June 09, 2005, The Media’s False Modesty, Take some credit for America’s reputation!)

It turns out everything is available on the Internet. And if it isn't there, then you probably don't need it.

Let me ask you a question: what is the difference between the 3rd, 42nd and 44th Presidents of the USA?

Here I will help you a little: there is no difference:

3. THOMAS JEFFERSON 1801-1809

In the thick of party conflict in 1800, Thomas Jefferson wrote in a private letter, "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."

This powerful advocate of liberty was born in 1743 in Albemarle County, Virginia, inheriting from his father, a planter and surveyor, some 5,000 acres of land, and from his mother, a Randolph, high social standing.

William Jefferson Clinton
42. WILLIAM J. CLINTON 1993-2001

During the administration of William Jefferson Clinton, the U.S. enjoyed more peace and economic well being than at any time in its history.

He was the first Democratic president since Franklin D. Roosevelt to win a second term. He could point to the lowest unemployment rate in modern times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in the country's history, dropping crime rates in many places, and reduced welfare rolls. He proposed the first balanced budget in decades and achieved a budget surplus. As part of a plan to celebrate the millennium in 2000, Clinton called for a great national initiative to end racial discrimination.

Clinton ...emphasis, declaring "the era of big government is over."

44. Barrack H. Obama 2008-
Shuts down Gitmo in his first act as President Executive and Commander in Chief.
