Depends. Are any of OJ's lawyers still alive? Besides, within 5 minutes, the trial will be about Bush and the CIA. Oh, I just saw the cost of security for the trial: $75 million. Paying that for some nebulous and insincere props from other countries sounds like a great deal! But then again, Obama supporters live to spend the money of other people.

I don't get that at all.

Let me spell it out for you. Clinton and Janet Reno incinerated 80 men, women, and children, by illegally using military weapons, and illegally using CS. Yet you complain about pouring water up the noses of THREE people.

What Timothy McVeigh did could have been considered an act of war...

McVeigh did it because of Waco. Kill him, but give Clinton and Reno fat retirements. Makes perfect sense.

Good rant though.
Did you know the Dow is up 30% since Obama took office?

Great. I guess the economy is fine, then, and the country's deficit is gone. Oh, wait...

There was no disrespect shown to you personally in any post here. Yet you dont give others with differing opinions the same respect.

Said by the person who followed up with a post ridiculing the religions of others. Nice.

Now Obama is just a socialist or communist or fascist  |
The reason nobody calls him the messiah anymore is that he hasn't fulfilled any of his promises. His sycophants still have to pay the portion of their rent and gas money that they can't get from other people's taxes.

Or at least it is certainly not more important than knowing the history of the country, its internal politics, and knowledge about political processes in general.
And I am surprised that you of all people think that the adequate solution to an unstable country is an ever growing number of foreign troops protecting that which has just been ranked as the 2nd most corrupt government in the world.

What I wonder about is why no liberals seem to be upset that Obama is trading a war we could win (Iraq) for a war we can't win (Afghanistan). If only he were as intelligent as Bush, we wouldn't have this problem.
