The frustration animating the drive for an amendment that would take matters out of the hands of both courts and legislatures is understandable. Those who believe marriage should be defined as a heterosexual union have, over the past several years, seen courts at both the state and federal level chip away at the traditional view. Our sense is that fear of judicial pre-emption, as much as other factors, has fueled popular support for state marriage amendments. It doesn’t help that proponents of gay marriage distort and denigrate as bigoted the religious and cultural precepts that motivate opposition.

For years and years and years, proponents of gay marriage have been hard at their work, why now does Conservative attention to the issue provoke pinko outrage? Does anyone trust the motives of a liberal?

What the Islamic extremists oppose in Canada is neither its support for Israel nor its behavior in Iraq but the mere fact that it is not a country governed by Islamic law. An Associated Press dispatch on the bomb plot noted that Canada, with the America, Britain, Spain, and Australia, was listed by Osama Bin Laden as a “Christian” nation that should be a target for terrorism. Nothing short of dropping Christianity and converting to Islam will satisfy the Islamist terrorists.

What follows is this truth: the options this leaves Canada and other free nations are, in other words, either defeating their enemy or surrendering to it. Concessions short of surrender won’t satisfy the enemy, as the example of Canada demonstrates. Nor will a crackdown on immigration entirely solve the security problem for the West - it appears that many of those arrested over the weekend were Canadian-born.

WASHINGTON, June 2 /U.S. Newswire/ — As more and more experts continue to confirm the harmful effects of global warming, the College Republican National Committee is urging its membership to mock the threat by throwing beach parties this summer. The College Republicans actions demonstrate the misplaced priorities and short-sightedness of the future of the Republican Party, according to the Democratic National Committee. As College Democrats continue to fight for issues that young Americans care about like an affordable college education, Republicans continue to push their out of touch agenda.

“The College Republicans’ beach parties mocking global warming are just another example of the misplaced priorities and short- sightedness of the Republican Party,” said College Democrats of America President Grant Woodard. “The College Republicans’ ignorance toward the seriousness of global warming and climate change shows a Party more focused on partying than talking seriously about the issues facing young people across America. While College Republicans party on this summer, College Democrats will be knocking on doors, working to get Democrats elected nationwide. With young leadership like this, Republicans should prepare to get burned in the upcoming elections.”

Check out this issue that a democrat president would be sure to advance:

The deal every health care reformer longs to make, in one form or another, is: Stop spending so much on really sick people - especially when they’re at “the end of life” (an ominously self-fulfilling turn of phrase) - and shift the money to where it will have a bigger payoff. Perhaps hypocritically, as a beneficiary of high-tech medicine, I prefer to think of these as two separate issues. Why must the cost of universal coverage be financed by denying luckier folks (luckier in a way, that is - less lucky in another way) the treatment they need to stay alive and functioning?

During its 20th-century struggles for world domination, international communism periodically benefited from the naivete and willful ignorance of some in the Western media, who foolishly portrayed totalitarians as agrarian reformers and social democrats. During the 1930s, for example, New York Times correspondent Walter Duranty won a Pulitzer Prize for a series of articles falsely depicting Soviet dictator Josef Stalin as a reformer while ignoring his responsibility for the murders of tens of millions of people.

Judging from some of the recent front-page coverage of Iran’s Holocaust-denying President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the NYT and The Washington Post, the specter of Durantyism is alive and well. Last Sunday, for example, the Times’ page one, above-the-fold story by Michael Slackman suggested that the Iranian leader has been misunderstood: His real concerns are coming to grips with “a system of conservative clerical rule that has lost credibility with the public”; negotiating with the United States; and fighting “wealthy people” who are making life difficult for “poor people” inside Iran.

Swift Boating himself:

Kate Zernike’s story on the front page of the Memorial Day Sunday New York Times, “Kerry Pressing Swift Boat Case Long After Loss,” is an unfortunate reminder of the Times’s embarrassingly poor coverage of Kerry in the face of the Swift Boat Veterans’ for Truth charges in the 2004 election. Now as then, the Times acts as if the issues involved were between Kerry’s latest representations of his record and the “unsubstantiated” charges of the Swift Boat group. The Times used the term “unsubstantiated” more than twenty times during its election coverage and continues to make no discernable effort to examine any of the charges in detail.

But there was plenty of evidence in the work of other news organizations that some of the charges, and the Kerry military records themselves, were worth examining seriously. I found numerous problems with Kerry’s records on his website in my own reporting for the Chicago Sun-Times: a Silver Star with a V for valor listed that the Navy stated it had never awarded in the history of the US Navy, three separate medal citations with some heavy revisions in Kerry’s favor signed by former Navy Secretary John Lehman who denied ever signing them, to name two.

Two weeks ago, I pointed out that we live in something close to the best of times, with record worldwide economic growth and at a low point in armed conflict in the world. Yet Americans are in a sour mood, a mood that may be explained by the lack of a sense of history. The military struggle in Iraq (nearly 2,500 military deaths) is spoken of in as dire terms as Vietnam (58,219), Korea (54,246) or World War II (405,399). We bemoan the cruel injustice of $3 a gallon for gas in a country where three-quarters of people classified as poor have air conditioning and microwave ovens.

Conservatives have never much liked the press, particularly The New York Times, but they are enjoying the chance to graduate from charging it with liberal bias to charging it with deliberately betraying the nation in wartime. They spied that opportunity in December, when the Times reported the National Security Agency’s secret eavesdropping on phone calls and e-mail communications between the United States and foreign countries.

The simple answer can be found in the First Amendment to the Constitution, which says: “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” What part of “no law” is hard to understand? Punishing a newspaper for what it publishes is an excellent example of what the First Amendment is supposed to forbid.

The crime (hiring illegal immigrants) in most cases is being committed by a small business owner who lives in our neighborhood and is an otherwise law-abiding citizen. He or she is a farmer hiring illegal workers to harvest crops, a construction foreman hiring illegal workers to build houses, the manager of a local motel hiring illegal workers to clean rooms or our neighbor hiring illegal workers to take care of the lawn.

Hiring two or three illegal workers might be just a drop in the bucket, but this is a bucket that has reached enormous proportions in precisely that manner: One drop at a time.

So, should we build the wall, punish the illegal employers, or some combination that manages both supply and demand? I have concluded that we should get busy building the wall. I’m a reluctant convert, but a convert nonetheless. It should be abundantly clear to everyone that we don’t have the national self-control to stop offering jobs to illegal workers. Therefore, attacking the demand side of this equation is sure to fail.

But that $83 million over which this tug of war is being fought is not something that these columns find all that alarming. It is but a drop in New York City’s $55 billion budget bucket. Some of the same politicians who are so outraged at Washington’s supposed raw deal to New York opposed President Bush’s tax cuts on income and dividends and capital gains, tax cuts which provided a boost to New York’s economy that far exceeded $83 million.

What must Mr. Bush himself make of all this? He reacts to an attack on this city by risking his entire presidency on fighting the most aggressive war against terror possible, taking the fight to the enemy’s ground overseas. What does he get from New York? The mayor mocks his nominee for chief justice. The city council passes a resolution against the war. One of its newspapers exposes his use of technical means to intercept enemy phone calls into the country. Senator Clinton votes against his nominee to improve the leadership of the Central Intelligence Agency. And the comptroller of the state, a self-described moron, praises Senator Schumer as a man who would “put a bullet between the president’s eyes, if he could get away with it.”

But one of my worries is that London and Washington are now so politically locked into withdrawal that they may be preparing to pull out of Iraq too early.

That would mean certain failure in Iraq. It would mean abandoning the country to become a lawless space used as both haven and facilitator for global terrorism, spreading instability to the fragile oil-rich states of the region. It would mean further disruption of an already fragile world oil market. It would mean, almost certainly, a breakaway state for Kurds in the north, which Turkey could not ignore. It would mean a vacuum of power in the heart of the Middle East, into which Iran and Syria must be drawn.

Social Indicators: We are witnessing a remarkable cultural renewal in America. Violent crime rates remain at the lowest levels in the history of the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ survey (which started in 1973). We are experiencing the sharpest decline in teen crime in modern history. Property crimes are near the lowest levels in the history of the federal survey. Welfare caseloads have declined almost 60 percent since 1996. Both the abortion rate and ratio are at the lowest levels we have seen in the 30-year period these data have been tracked. African American and Hispanic fourth-graders posted the highest reading and math scores in the history of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) test. The use of illegal drugs by teens has dropped 19 percent since 2001, while the use of hallucinogens such as LSD and ecstasy has declined by more than half.

There are areas of concern, to be sure. Births to unmarried women are at an all-time high, and in many respects our popular culture remains a cesspool. But context is important. Between 1960 and the mid-’90s virtually every social indicator got worse — and in many cases staggeringly worse. Then things began to turn around, almost as if a cultural virus created its own antibodies.- www.washingtonpost.com

In other words, we have survived liberalism and we are starting to turn around it’s ill effects. All the more reason to stop gay marriage before it can do it’s harm to our morality.

U.S. troops kill pregnant woman in Iraq

Nabiha Nisaif Jassim, 35, was being raced to the maternity hospital in Samarra by her brother when the shooting occurred Tuesday.

Jassim, the mother of two children, and her 57-year-old cousin, Saliha Mohammed Hassan, were killed by the U.S. forces, according to police Capt. Laith Mohammed and witnesses.

The U.S. military said coalition troops fired at a car after it entered a clearly marked prohibited area near an observation post but failed to stop despite repeated visual and auditory warnings.

“Shots were fired to disable the vehicle,” the military said in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press. “Coalition forces later received reports from Iraqi police that two women had died from gunshot wounds … and one of the females may have been pregnant.”

Jassim’s brother, who was wounded by broken glass, said he did not see any warnings as he sped his sister to the hospital. Her husband was waiting for her there.

“I was driving my car at full speed because I did not see any sign or warning from the Americans. It was not until they shot the two bullets that killed my sister and cousin that I stopped,” he said. “God take revenge on the Americans and those who brought them here. They have no regard for our lives.”

Gunmen seize at least 50 at Iraq bus stops

The dramatic attack came a day after masked gunmen stopped two minivans carrying students north of Baghdad, ordered the passengers off, separated Shiites from Sunni Arabs, and killed the 21 Shiites “in the name of Islam,” a witness said.

In predominantly Shiite southern Basra, police hunting for militants stormed a Sunni Arab mosque early Sunday, just hours after a car bombing. Nine people were killed in the ensuing firefight.

Next week, you will vote on a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution protecting the institution of marriage. As Governor (Mitt Romney, Massachussetts, pit of pinko demons) of the state most directly affected by this amendment, I hope my perspectives will encourage you to vote “yes.”

Attaching the word marriage to the association of same-sex individuals mistakenly presumes that marriage is principally a matter of adult benefits and adult rights. In fact, marriage is principally about the nurturing and development of children. And the successful development of children is critical to the preservation and success of our nation.

Which is exactly why the liberals want gay marriage, they don’t give a flip about the future of the United States. They hate this country with a purple seething passion, see 8:52 for a perfect example, and will do anything they can to take it down.

There must be something more appropriate that the senate can think of addressing that will be an effective use of taxpayer money.

Remember those Somali thugs who slaughtered Americans in Black Hawk down? Guess who’s now on the Bush regime payroll?

THIRTEEN years after President Bill Clinton withdrew forces from Somalia, in the “Black Hawk down” shambles, American security officials are giving clandestine support to the same warlords who mutilated and humiliated US soldiers in 1993.

The American Operation, in breach of the United Nations’ arms embargo on Somalia and therefore in breach of international law, is controlled through the US Embassy in Kenya and Washington’s 1800-strong Combined Joint Task Force in Djibouti, on Somalia’s northern border.

Impeachment is too good for Bush. Jail is too good for his “aides”.

They are traitors who defy the law and morality.

WASHINGTON // The Pentagon has decided to omit from new detainee policies a key tenet of the Geneva Conventions that explicitly bans “humiliating and degrading treatment,” according to knowledgeable military officials, a step that would mark a further shift away from strict adherence to international human rights standards.

Millions of visa overstays overlooked

MEXICO CITY - Millions of illegal immigrants in the United States never jumped the U.S.-Mexico border where Congress wants to erect impenetrable walls and President Bush is sending National Guard troops to patrol. They never sneaked in at all.

The little-acknowledged reality is that nearly half the estimated 12 million undocumented foreigners in the United States entered on bona fide U.S. visas — and simply never left. Authorities call them “overstays” who have been largely overlooked in the vitriolic debate on immigration.

Republican priority is stopping gay marriage. It sure as hell isn’t stopping illegal immigrants! In truth they just want to blabber about both and do nothing about either. This seems to be the Republican approach to ALL political issues, doesn’t it?

YUK! It’s a great day for we and our causes. You and I know that when our popularity plunges deep, we can always pick it back up by appealing to hatred, fear, bigotry, jealousy, personal failures. It works for us every time and you know it. Jesus will be at the meeting, as will God and the assorted Pig Gods I worship. They speak directly to me, like I’ve told you in thee past. I am filled with righteous religiosity. So lets git out there and demonstrate and pass laws against them homos so we can protect good, decent Murcuns like we. If you’re not ready to kill a queer for Christ, your not a real Republican! My fellow Murcuns, you slithered me into office, so my legacy of deeds will long be remembered.

This is truly one of the most disgusting thing this President and administration have done since in office.

I am not a liberal. I am not in favor of big government. I am not a Hillary fan. I AM GAY. I knew when I was 6.

I was pretty much asexual my whole life because I had to be “perfect”, and remember wondering if I would be dead by the time I was an adult because I couldnt understand why I wasnt attracted to girls.

That is what is so frustrating…people need to understand what being gay is before they just see it as a sexaul act.

I could care less about being married…what I find appauling is this jerk’s attempt to use the most sacred document in our country, in a negative way. The constitution should only be used to advance our people What a SAD day this is…and the even worse fact is, that kids just like I was, who know they are gay, are struggling even more with themselves now as a result. This president should be ashamed. What country do we live in now for Gods sake?!

The Republicans will be 100% unified behind this amendment, it’s the wimpy democrats that are more scared of the Daily Kos than they are the will of the people. These chicken libs know the people can’t do anything but take it. The Daily Kos can score some points in their a-ss, which is why they will vote against it.

This is by caring for my fellow man and being concerned about what happens to people in the world.

And I certainly haven’t time nor the desire to deal with people who’s only goal is to trash other people because they won’t bend and bow down to their religeous zeal and political agenda.

That’s probably what is so scary for those that oppose gay marriage. You better get all of the hard to overturn anti-gay amendments in now while you have a chance.

I can only imagine if 79% of Georgians decided to reinstitute slavery (via referendum, change to the state Constitution, whatever). That wouldn’t make it right (actually, it would be FAR right). Or if that same percentage changed the age of legal consensual sex to 12, would that be right?

The people posting that the majority of citizens want a gay marriage ban are correct. The majority do want a ban. Thankfully, the constitution is a document protecting the rights of minorities against the majority.

At some point in history, the majority of citizens in the US would have voted for an amendment banning women from voting.

At one point, the majority thought is was OK to own another human being as a slave.

At one point, the governor of the state of Georgia added the St Andrew’s cross to the state flag as an “outward reminder that the State of Georgia will never integrate its schools”. This was in response to Brown v. Education.

And Yes, right not the majority of Americans, especially rural americans, would vote to ban Gay marriage.

In 30 years, no one will admit that they were a part of that ignorant majority.

A perspective on Fascism in Italy circa 1920-1944:

“…fascism evolved into a new political and economic system that combined corporatism, totalitarianism, nationalism, and anti-Communism…”

Recognize this?

“Skillfully using his [Mussolini’s] secret but absolute control over the press, he gradually built up the legend of Il Duce, the title he bestowed upon himself: a man who never slept, was always right, and could solve all the problems of politics and economics.”

Sound familiar??

“Most of his [Mussolini’s] time was also spent on propaganda, whether at home or abroad… Press, radio, education, films — all were carefully supervised to manufacture the illusion that fascism was the doctrine of the 20th century, replacing liberalism and democracy.”

I can’t believe this crap??

“Under the [Mussolini’s] dictatorship, the effectiveness of parliamentary system was virtually abolished though its forms were publicly preserved.”

That could NEVER happen to the US Congress!!

“In foreign policy, Mussolini soon shifted from the pacifist anti-imperialism of his lead-up to power, to an extreme form of aggressive nationalism. An early example of this was his bombardment of Corfu in 1923. Soon after this he succeeded in setting up a puppet regime in Albania and in ruthlessly consolidating Italian power in Libya, loosely a colony since 1912.”

Deja vu??

“The invasion of Ethiopia was accomplished rapidly…and involved several atrocities such as the use of chemical weapons (mustard gas and phosgene) and the indiscriminate slaughter of much of the local population to prevent opposition.”

Thank God for the Geneva Convention..

BTW, Mussolini’s body was briefly stolen in the 1950’s by neo-fascists (probably Skull & Bones).

Those are the REAL wankers here. They’re symbolic of everything that’s wrong with what used to be the Republican Party. The shocker is that they don’t realize it.

Conservatives love their code words. But then, they need them. They can’t call their priorities what they are: intolerance masquerading as morality. So their propagandists devise signifiers like “traditional values,” and conservatives claim all “values” for themselves, because apparently only they know what the traditions are.

Problem is, conservatives don’t like to share. That would mean that other people — different kinds of people, with different beliefs and priorities — are as deserving of life’s blessings as they are. Goodbye, feelings of righteousness and superiority. Hello, unrestricted Jeffersonian liberty.

And if values voters can’t feel self-righteous and superior, what’s left for them? Only the fleeting consolation that their president, with his poll numbers at Nixonian lows and midterms looming, is finally pandering to them, his once-trusting base, once again — by appealing to their basest instincts, By not only excusing and promoting bigotry and intolerance, but by again denigrating a co-equal branch of government, the courts.

I love it, N-GA trying to paint conservatives as the Fascist. It certainly wasn’t the conservatives screaming the loudest for the federal government to take control of “Big Oil’s” profits (government control of corporations). It certainly wasn’t the conservatives screaming for the federal branch to use the military within our borders (Katrna). It certainly wasn’t the republicrats that caged the protestors at their 2004 convention.

It is such a mindless argument. Bush is the fascist dictator who allows every American the right to own an assault weapon, not just the government? Many Dems want to take your guns and only allow the government to be armed. It seems like if you take the nationalism and the fight against communism away, you would fall closer to the democrat party. Wouldn’t Waco fall under a totalitarian style rule?

I wouldn’t call either party fascist. It is such a loaded term used by America’s brightest to insight an emotional reaction form their apprentices.

There is my two cents for the day.

Saudi textbooks leave students open to bin Laden’s message

Osama bin Laden sees Western democratic societies as decadent and wants a world dominated by fundamentalist Islamic law. Why would the 9/11 hijackers, and others, follow bin Laden’s fanatical preachings?

One disturbing answer lies in Saudi Arabia, where the Ministry of Education publishes textbooks for mandatory “Islamic studies.” Parts read as if they could have been written by bin Laden, who is from Saudi Arabia, as were 15 of the 19 hijackers.

For more than a year, the Saudi government has said that the textbooks have been rewritten to emphasize tolerance over violence toward non-believers.

But the non-profit Freedom House has found otherwise. The books are not publicly available, but Freedom House obtained and translated copies. Despite some minor changes, passages still contain disturbing intolerance.

An eighth-grade text, for example, teaches that “the Jews are apes … while the swine are the Christians.” A 12th-grader learns the value of jihad (holy war) in language that shows jihad as a violent struggle against Jews, Christians and Muslims who don’t follow the conservative Wahhabi version of Islam that Saudi Arabia officially adheres to.

As Coulter writes:

Finally, the Democrats hit on an ingenious strategy: They would choose only messengers whom we’re not allowed to reply to. That’s why all Democratic spokesmen these days are sobbing, hysterical women. You can’t respond to them because that would be questioning the authenticity of their suffering. Liberals haven’t changed the message, just the messenger. All the most prominent liberal spokesmen are people with “absolute moral authority” — Democrats with a dead husband, a dead child, a wife who works at the CIA, a war record, terminal illness, or as a last resort, being on a first-name basis with Nelson Mandela. Like Oprah during Sweeps Week, liberals have come to rely exclusively on people with sad stories to improve their Q rating. They’ve become the “Lifetime” TV Network of political parties. Liberals prey on people at a time of extreme emotional vulnerability and offer them fame and fortune to be that month’s purveyor of hate. Victory goes to the most hysterical.

What bunk.

The problem is words don’t matter when you don’t believe what you are saying.

Please refer to President Bush’s shallow appeal for the gay marriage ban.

Joe Glover, president of Family Policy Network, said the fact that the president waited until two days before the Senate takes up the amendment to speak on the issue shows that he does not care.

Bush, Glover said, “hasn’t lifted a finger” to push the amendment. “He hasn’t twisted any arms, he hasn’t made any deals, he hasn’t been pushing senators to support defining marriage as between a man and a woman,” Glover stated. “And he thinks that he can hold one speech … the day before the vote, which is a clear expression of weakness, and appease conservatives as if he’s done something significant.”

It’s sad for Bush that the smart guys in his camp say he’s all hat and no cattle.

It’s pathetic when so many others ( see ^^^) can’t see that they’re being played for suckers.

One cannot help but wonder what His Eminence Sean Patrick Cardinal O’Malley of Boston thinks of Sen. Kennedy’s thunderous pontificating. Cardinal O’Malley, along with all seven other U.S. Catholic cardinals, signed a statement on behalf of the Religious Coalition for Marriage supporting the amendment and urging the Senate to pass the measure along to the states for ratification.

Presumably, by Sen. Kennedy’s lights, Cardinal O’Malley and the three score other religious leaders who signed the Coalition statement all are bigots. This would include Cardinals Roger Mahony of Los Angeles and Theodore McCarrick of Washington, D.C., two liberal-leaning prelates not known for their right-wing zealotry. And doubtlessly Cardinal Adam Maida of Detroit, too, would be chagrined to find himself relegated to the company of the bigoted.

Among other notable bigots signing the Religious Coalition for Marriage’s pro-amendment statement are included Cardinals Egan of New York, Keeler of Baltimore, and George of Chicago; His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios, Primate of the Greek Orthodox Church in America; Bishop Charles E. Blake, First Assistant Presiding Bishop of the Church of God in Christ, a predominantly African-American denomination; the Most Reverend Jose H. Gomez, the Catholic bishop of San Antonio; Elder Russell M. Nelson, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; and Dr. Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention, with its associated 43,000 churches comprising the largest Protestant denomination—bigots all, according to the Sage of Hyannis.

Your comments weren’t worth 2 cents.

The Dems didn’t ask to take control of Big Oil’s profits…only to tax the obscene profits.

The Dems didn’t ask that the Federal Branch do anything in the aftermath of Katrina that hasn’t been done by virtually every administration after a catastrophe such as hurricane, tornado, or flood. That what the National Guard is really used for (except when they are deployed to an illegal war). But the most interesting thing is that it is this administration that forceably keeps people out of places where Bush is speaking to the public when his cadre of enforcers think they might show a protest sign or shout him down for his hypocrisy.

More than anything else, a Fascist state does what the leader wants, not what the public wants. Bush readily admits he ignores the polls. Iraq - everything is rosy. The deficit - Reaganomics. Social Security - the Dems are blocking us even though we control both houses of Congress. Pollution - voodoo science. Katrina - “Good job, Brownie!”

Please refer to President Bush’s shallow appeal for the gay marriage ban,

I think we can pretty much guarantee that Bush is opposed to gay marriage. The only question would be how much he supports a constitutional amendment to get there.

BTW, the last I heard, John Kerry was against gay marriage too, as is the majority of the country. I’m not sure what position Edwards, Gore and Hillary have staked out.

Indeed one could say that to be pro-gay marriage is to be out of the proverbial “mainstream” that Libs like Pelosi, Schumer and Kennedy always claim as their provenance.

There is no respectable way of having this both ways. Those who say that the rioters in Baghdad in the early days should have been put down more forcefully are accepting the chance that a mob might have had to be fired on to protect the National Museum. Those who now wish there had been more troops are also demanding that there should have been more targets and thus more body bags. The lawyers at Centcom who refused to give permission to strike Mullah Omar’s fleeing convoy in Afghanistan—lest it by any chance be the wrong convoy of SUVs speeding from Kabul to Kandahar under cover of night—are partly responsible for the deaths of dozens of Afghan teachers and international aid workers who have since been murdered by those who were allowed to get away.

Going AWOL from the military, being an alcoholic and cokehead, and getting tens of thousands of people killed because you lied in order to start a war doesn’t make someone a bad person as long as they’re a republican.

At 2:19 you said 79% of the people should not be listened to because they would probably be wrong. Then at 7:05 you tell us that President Bush is a dangerous fascist because he won’t listen to the will of the people.

Do you ever wonder why nobody takes you or the rest of you libs seriously?

Buy Danish,

I think all these moonbats here reflect each other like a mirror, so maybe rushncap is metaphorically saying he sees his manhood in finch and finch is reflecting his adoration of JoRo while JoRo asks N-GA to take Goldie for a spin while….

It’s really a little too much to think about without gagging.

It’s been a long, long, long time since liberals have gotten anything right:

“They’ve been brainwashing us for 20 years,” Gray says. “Starting with the nuclear winter and now with the global warming. This scare will also run its course. In 15-20 years, we’ll look back and see what a hoax this was.”

Gray directs me to a 1975 Newsweek article that whipped up a different fear: a coming ice age.

“Climatologists,” reads the piece, “are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change. … The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality.”

Just a reminder for you gay, lesbian and transgendered out there, we welcome you into the democratic party with open, loving arms. We are the party of diversity! We are the party of inclusion! We are the party that does not discriminate! If you don’t believe me just ask us and we’ll tell you how great we are.

You will find the democratic party to be a very warm and welcoming place that will assist you in all your life’s needs. Don’t be afraid to ask for the moon, remember, you don’t have to pay for it, we’ll stick it to the working class for you.

We’ll make nice inspirational movies for you like BrokeDick Mountain, we’ll pass laws so that you can get married and then we’ll stick you in housing projects like we did the Negro. We’ll come around and pander to you every October. Just remember to hit that big D column on the ballot in November! We can’t do all these special things for you with a Republican majority in Congress!

Whatever you do, don’t vote for those f-aggot Republicans, they’re a bunch of homos. Those guys are nothing but a bunch of rectum rangers that will ignore your special needs, while they look after their rich butt buddies.

Had enough?

Finch, Getalife, N-GA,

Aha! Screw you guys, piece of sh-it liberals! I contacted some gay rights advocacy groups to inform them of you’re nic-jacking and show them the hate liberals spread about them. You guys are going down! Here’s there reply, you pinko, pieces of sh-it:

from the Editor of Men’s Fancy Magazine

Many thanks to poster, Andy, for bringing our attention to the comments on this blog concerning homosexuals. Andy has informed us that other bloggers have been using homosexual inferences when referring to him and we are deeply disturbed by the language and double-entendres being thrown around by liberals. Speaking for the gay men of America, I can wholeheartedly say that our position is the exact same as Andy’s. We applaud this gentleman and believe he should cease situating himself at the rear of the Log Cabin Republicans. This man should move to the forefront so that the gay men of this nation can work vigorously behind him, which is what he tells us his preference is. No longer should he operate in the shadows and cracks of his fellow man. Andy has informed us he is ready and willing to give his heart, his soul, and most importantly, lend his mouth to the satisfaction of Log Cabin Republicans and gay men everywhere. Andy’s actions will be a blow to liberals everywhere and he will split the Democrat’s mascot, that stubborn a-ss, and penetrate deep into the bowels of the beast. Andy, once again, we applaud your efforts to advocate for the gay cause and we stand firmly and forcefully behind you. Thank you.

Only a dumba-a* liberal like N-GA would fail to see taxes as anything other than government profiteering. Tell me, how have the Republicans put a leash around your neck. They haven’t.

You’re one of those idiot liberals that is so easily convinced that the Democrats in government want to do good things with your money. You’ll willingly give them more when asked. You’ll think that their intentions are for the good of society when what they really want to do is keep the poor people impoverished so that they can benefit from their ignorance and trust so you’ll vote for them.

Give them your tax dollars and watch them yank that leash when you’re depleted and dependent.

That’ll be your fascist government, the Democrats. No way will it be the Republicans.

“By Andy- I Whine, You Report”,

Why don’t you direct your class envy to Kerry, Kennedy and the famous Yale grads, Bill and Hill for a change?

Like all good miserable Libs, you’re a nasty s.o.b. who has nothing to contribute. You are incapable of commenting on the issues, or even parsing a sentence that you disagree with. Heck, you can’t even come up with an original name to post under.

You carry on like the pathetic punk that you are, and toss out nasty, uncalled for ad hominem slurs to people like @@ and Dusty - people who probably do more good deeds in a day than you have managed in a lifetime. In between your bullying, you stalk Andy like a psychopathic creep.

And for someone who complains about other people’s blogging habits, you sure do get around the AJC blogs.

Andy,

That global warming piece was perfect. This was my favorite part:

Gray directs me to a 1975 Newsweek article that whipped up a different fear: a coming ice age.

“Climatologists,” reads the piece, “are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change. … The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality.”

Thank God they did nothing. Imagine how warm we’d be?

Hilarious. And what great points he makes about what happens to people who dare to “dissent” from the liberal cause.
