JohnRich 4 #1 January 16, 2012 From "The American Thinker": The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers' Party. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are lawyers. Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama are lawyers. John Edwards, the other former Democrat candidate for president, is a lawyer and so is his wife Elizabeth. Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate.) Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school. Look at the Democrat Party in Congress: the Majority Leader in each house is a lawyer. The Republican Party is different. President Bush and Vice President Cheney were not lawyers, but businessmen. The leaders of the Republican Revolution were not lawyers. Newt Gingrich was a history professor; Tom Delay was an exterminator; and Dick Armey was an economist. House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer, not a lawyer. The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon. Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who left office thirty-one years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, running against Ronald Reagan in 1976. The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work. The Democratic Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or who heal the sick like Frist, or who immerse themselves in history like Gingrich. The Lawyers' Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies of America...

Our own Dr. Kallend was able to diagnose Loughner based on nothing more than youtube videos, after all. Just as Frist was not qualified to diagnose Schiavo, (due to lack of info/due dilligence) Dr. Kallend (A physicist, I take it, based on a brief search) is not a MD, a PsyD, nor does he have access to any of the info in Loughner's casefile. Both Doctors would seem to (have) suffer(ed) from a lack of proper training/understanding of the facts or at least Academic/intellectual egomania, clouded by philosophical beliefs which dictate an end to be reached by whatever (logically/legally tenuous) means necessary.

Andy9o8 0 #8 January 16, 2012 OK, let's look at Democratic Presidents over the past 100 years. Wilson - not a lawyer. Oops, but he was a college professor, like Kallend. Bazinga! FDR - not a lawyer. He used a cigarette holder. He must have been a homo. Truman - Not a lawyer. Was a haberdasher. Hey, people wore a lot of hats in those days. JFK - Yup, a lawyer. He used to fuck Marylin Monroe. And you're so jealous. LBJ - Not a lawyer. Was a schoolteacher. Nothing very productive about that. Carter - Not a lawyer. Naval Academy graduate, submarine officer, specializing in nuclear power. Then successfully ran his family's farming business. A deeply religious man, heavily involved in church-related activities. A lot of his and his wife's assets from the farming business were lost while they were in a blind trust during his presidency. Later in life, with Habitat for Humanity, building homes for poor people. What a leech. Clinton and Obama. Both lawyers. Both university professors like Kallend. Clinton probably didn't get as much ass as JFK did, but he sure tried. God, I love that man. OK, so that's 37.5% of the Democratic presidents over the past 100 years have been lawyers. Quite a landslide. To the author of that article, I would repeat what I've said in other threads: any random asshole can lawyer-bait; it takes no brains at all.
