Sean Hannity shall attempt to ban him from the planet!

Such extremist rhetoric!

Hours earlier, the nation observed a moment of silence for the victims of the rampage, from the South Lawn of the White House and the steps of the U.S. Capitol to legislature beyond Arizona and the International Space Station.

There, Giffords' brother-in-law, Scott, the commanding officer, spoke over the radio. Flight controllers in Houston fell silent.

"As I look out the window, I see a very beautiful planet that seems very inviting and peaceful," he said. "Unfortunately, it is not."

"These days, we are constantly reminded of the unspeakable acts of violence and damage we can inflict upon one another, not just with our actions, but also with our irresponsible words," he said.

"We're better than this," he said. "We must do better."

A peaceful place or so it looks from space,
A closer look reveals the human race.

...sadly the blog has a misanthropy problem.

Humans are easily the very best of all the animals on Earth. Yes, even you pansypoo.

"Humans are easily the very best of all the animals on Earth."

Umm, little man, I suspect that your anthropocentrism is a means of excusing your own vile self.

But, that's nothing I wouldn't expect from a right-wing warmongering chickenhawk.

anthropocentrism

ummmm.....not really.

I clearly stated humans as the best animal on Earth, not the entire universe. Let's not jump to a wider conclusion, we don't even know (as of yet) whether there are other animals elsewhere to make comparison with.

And you appear to agree with the assessment of humans as superior beings -- considering that you used two other animals in forming your usual infantile insult.

Umm, no, dickhead, I was talking about just you.

But, you'll do your best to obfuscate that point, a tactic of which I am very aware by your previous attempts to evade responsibility for your corrupt and intellectually barren approach to life.

...here.
I'll spell it out for you, Montag.

/sigh



your childish insult:

But, that's nothing I wouldn't expect from a right-wing warmongering chickenhawk.

chicken
•The common domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus) or its young.
•Any of various similar or related birds.

hawk
•Any of various birds of prey of the order Falconiformes and especially of the genera Accipiter and Buteo, characteristically having a short hooked bill and strong claws adapted for seizing.
•Any of various similar birds of prey.

Both animals. The chicken and the hawk. You used as means of insulting, thus portraying superiority of humans over all the other animals. A fact with which you (apparently) agree with.

Wasn't it you that agreed with another of my statements, Montag?

I had stated that the US was the least racist nation on the planet. Wasn't it you that agreed with that?

Boy, oh boy. You better watch it, if you persist in agreement with the trolletariat you could end up getting expelled from the hive.
