Buchanan won both 2007 and 2008 polls. Check your links.

In each case I thought the same about the next candidate.

Well, as long as your speaking about verbal “incendiary devices,” I can live w/ that. I just thought I’d give you a pep talk. I’d expect the same from other Agitator readers.

Look, from our prior exchanges, I think I’ve made it clear that I’d put my neck on the line to defend your right to speak your mind, even if I don’t find your theory to be totally convincing. But, mere sloganeering isn’t going to persuade anyone that a philosophy as radical as anarchism could be anything but a disaster.”

Look, Helmut, you know I respect you and all …

For fuck’s sake, let me throw a bomb every once in a while!

And if all of “them” are guilty, then no one is responsible!!??!!??!!??

It is important to point out the difference between officials who are acting in a legal, constitutional and ethical fashion, and officials that are violating the oath of their offices. Holding these people accountable could save lives. That’s reality.

Look, from our prior exchanges, I think I’ve made it clear that I’d put my neck on the line to defend your right to speak your mind, even if I don’t find your theory to be totally convincing. But, mere sloganeering isn’t going to persuade anyone that a philosophy as radical as anarchism could be anything but a disaster. Remember, most people are not anarchists. Many people still see anarchists wide-eyed as bomb throwers. I don’t believe that, but I’ve probably explored political theory more than most citizens

Sledgehammer anarcho-rhetoric, combined with the behavior of too many self-styled “anarchists,” from the American “anarchists” of the early 20th century, to the Unabomber, to the feral youth of Greece–Who can act like the bigger savage? Ooh I can, I can! Let me toss a gas bomb! Let me smash an ATM! Wow, we’re really changing the world now…–guarantees that the average citizen will never see any redeeming value whatsoever in your ideology of choice.

Maybe before we start throwing babies around, we can try to persuade our fellow citizens of the advantages of limiting state power and taking responsibility for more aspects of their lives. Radley’s blog is doing that, even if his take differs from your.

It is high time to throw Rosemary’s baby out with the bathwater.

Death to the State!

just odd

Then after playing the sex card, one reads how Buchanan’s crack team of investigators overlooked the fact that all five complaining patient witnesses were still receiving the same medications (although in stronger dosages) from other physicians who independent to Dr. Rottschaefer confirmed the medical ailments that the patients claimed did not exist at trial.

If that was not enough, the patients who claimed not to have the medical ailments sued Dr. Rottscahefer post trial for failing to properly treat the ailments that they claimed did not exist at his trial.

It goes on and on. Radley’s coverage of the so-called physician expert, Dr. Douglas F. Clough, in the Rottschaefer is equally troubling. The guy did not know a thing about pain management and treatment of chronic pain, but it did not end there. The guy admitted under oath to post-dating controlled substance prescriptions at Dr. Rottschaefer’s trial. This very act is a clear violation of the CSA act for which Dr. Rottschaefer allegedly violated. Guess we need a criminal to be an expert on crimes in Buchanan’s courtroom.

Of course, neither Rottschaefer’s lawyers or the prosecution pointed out to the judge or jury the error in Dr. Clough’s testimony, so the misconception on the standards of medicine stood. Now in court filings since, Mary Beth argues Dr. Rottschaefer is guilty solely because Dr. Clough did not like Dr. Rottschaefer’s practice and techniques.

I don’t know about you, but I would rather have the guy that did not admit to breaking the law, Rottschaefer, be the standard then the guy who did, Clough.

Alas, Dr. Rottschaefer spends his twilight of his life in jail and Buchanan goes on and on.
