Trajan Octavian Titus

I completely forgot what with the new years and all I haven't posted in a while so maybe I can get in the next one.

Now, hurry up, niftydrifty already made his opening statement

Otherwise you guys should set a new timeframe, if you like to.

Billo_Really

Nifty already kicked TOT's a.s.s.

Give it up, mugwump!

Surrender like the Frenchie, you are.

Gawd, I'm still trying to pick myself up off the floor over here ...

LOL!

well seeing as how TOT took a few days, I'll keep the debate going, and take a few days. but I'd like for him to get us a new moderator. tecoyah is not able to continue. how's that going, TOT?

May you enjoy every word.

No actually there isn't please show me where it says that because all I see is the separations of powers made up of three separate but equal branches of government the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary each one of which can not usurp the powers of the other and to do so as in the case of the FISA act where the legislative branch infringes upon the executives constitutional authority is a blatant violation of the Constitution even the FISA court itself agrees with me, that is precisely what the F.F.'s warned us about when they said tyranny results when all of the governmental institututions are under the same hand IE when the Monarchy was the head of state and the head of the judiciary.

I would love to respond to the previous post, but alas, this is not my dance.

Yes, TOT, you, ahem, have already, uh, said that, pretty much. You repeat yourself.

The best thing about TOT is his passion. I love that about TOT. But it is this passion that leads him to rush into debates like this, and to boast as he does. Ultimately, though, his passion is merely amusing. TOT is in this way over his head. And I shall demonstrate, at the proper time, and in the proper place. I mean after all, there is a thread already established where this very topic is being debated. A true debate thread. But you wouldn't know it from reading TOT's post. Maybe TOT "forgot" this, too!

I could have a billion ad hoc debates with TOT all day long on any topic, with willy nilly asides and passionate blasts parroting Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes all day long ... yawn. I mean, why not make it count, TOT? TOT has made no input in our debate. Shown no interest in applying any structure. He "forgot" to participate in a timely fashion. And obviously, TOT has put hardly any thought or work into his rebuttal.

TOT, is this going to be an unmoderated debate, um, spread out across several threads? I challenge you to show some discipline. I challenge you to try to think more clearly. Get us a new moderator. Propose a new timeline for the remaining posts. Please do this, rather than shooting your mouth off and demonstrating, once again, what you do not know, the time could be much better spent doing what you ought to do.

I'm profoundly disappointed. This could have been a learning experience for both of us. And there is still a chance that it could be.

It would look it easier and more practical to me, if you guys go ahead with the debate and agree about conditions ad hoc instead of waiting on other people to organize it. This is only my personal impression.

And I say,

"Yeah...........uh................what he said!"
