Funny, I don’t recall hearing about W. banging a Bible. One would think that type of behavior would get a President in more trouble than say, getting a blowjob from an intern. Unless of course, he started bombing Iraq to detract attention from his banging of the Bible. But no president would do such a thing. I usually don’t involve myself in these threads, but **Diogenes** , I gotta say man; it’s all getting pretty tired.

And one would think that starting a war under false pretenses and outright lies would get a pResident in more trouble than a blowjob.
Guess in the New United Puritan States of America, war is good and sex is eevil.

Ah, this reminds me of **Libertarian’s** pitting of **David B** a while back.

**Ilsa** , you have to blame everything bad in the world on G.W. Bush, or at least criticize Bush for not sending you a birthday card. Then he’ll be impressed.

**Atreyu** : I was thinking Star Wars, too 🙂

Isn’t Aldebaran from _Star Trek_?
It’s definitely time to follow the DNFtA rule.
Peace.

I repeat the question of \*\* Diogenes the Cynic\*\*:

> What’s the problem? You’ve dug up a lot of his threads but I don’t see anything wrong with them. What has he said that isn’t true?
Eg. Is it eg. wrong to be proud of Your parents, or defend their honour?
It goes way over the thinking of mine, but I am from another culture.
So is it so hard to understand that there are other cultures?

No, Henry, it isn’t.
What’s hard to understand is: **Adebaran** telling obvious lies and thinking she can get away with it.

I love it. He writes more clearly(and spells better) than I do and he never studied the language.
Man, I suck.

**spooje** Neither have I studied English (at school).
I studied Finnish, Swedish, Latin and German.
The English lingua just came withthe overwhelming TV-culture, movies etc. The Finnish TV have texts, not dubbed, so I can hear Clint Eastwood. In Germany You hear him speaking German.
Now I study Russian, but have not got that either at school. ☹

**Ilsa\_Lund** , well done.
Sorry, **Michael Ellis** , but I insist on buying the first round for Ilsa after that OP.

People are surprised that this fool is a worthless sack of shit poster?
This is someone who barges into threads in GD and, when asked for cites, responds with ‘I don’t do cites’.
I seem to recall pointing out that people shouldn’t take this asshole seriously, and he/she/it might just fuck off and die.
But instead everyone was so happy to have their own Islamic poster that they totally ignored it. And now we’ve go Aldebaran for keeps.
Yay.
-Joe, isn’t Aldebaran where Hastur’s Carcosa lies?

While **Ilsa\_Lund** ’s coding was an impressive piece of work, what had me shaking my head is was her willingness to subject her good mind to so much of his drivel to complete the OP.
She’s like the Marine Seargent that flings himself onto the grenade to save everyone else.
_Sigh_ My heroinne.

Actually it’s “my post is my cite”
I love that almost as much as much as the Death Ray bit.

I’m confused. I don’t know much about Aldebaran, so I clicked on a bunch of the OPs links. I’m not really seeing what all the hubbub’s about. Do you dislike him because he has anti-US Government opinions? It might help if the OP had explained what exactly is offensive about each post, other than obvious partisan political disagreements. He must have done _something_ wrong, since so many people seem to hate him, but I’m not getting it from the cites.
