Thinking Right

Seems you are inconsistent with the Right’s view regarding needless government intervention. Sunday booze sales is an example. It is not about “me, me, me”. It is about the State of GA interfering with a business owner’s right to sell a legal product on a particular day. I always hear the Right’s claim to wanting less government (which I agree with). This is just another case of political hypocrisy.

My small construction business has built about 15 homes. We started out hiring only American born contractors. The quality of the work was not first rate. I am still paying for warranty repairs on those homes, which means no profit for me. We used carpenters, plumbers, painters, etc. with questionable legal status to build the last 6 or 7 houses. The quality of work has been first rate and very few call backs. I am not saying there are no good American contractors. But I am saying my personal experience corresponds with Bill Anderson’s remarks.

Again, the hypocrisy is evident regarding Circuit City. The Right’s view is paying market rates for labor thus the fight against the minimum wage. Circuit City is honest about what they are doing. Why would you not admit that? I have said this before and will say it again: anyone who is narrowly focused on a particular political point of view (right or left) is bound to be either a Looney or a hypocrite.

Hey Jim….Methinks you are in a daze! Yes, one can plan ahead to pick up that bottle of wine for Sunday’s dinner party with friends. But I’ll bet even you have had days where it just doesn’t all get done.

I still find it incredibly ironic that while we can’t buy alcohol at Publix on Sunday, we CAN drink as much as we want while watching young women dance naked three feet away!

Seems more than a bit hypocritical to me.

morning all :)

personally, i am not sure how sunday alcohol aales would improve the planet. get yours on saturday or even friday.

as for this yelling back and forth over the u.s. attorneys being fired…this administration has only made things worse by changing their story so many times. first it was the fault of harriet miers; then it was some sort of miscommunication. at first we heard that ag gonzales was not directly involved in that decision making; now we know he was deeply involved. the administration has handled this situation so badly that they come across as the gang which cannot shoot straight.

jim, what is your problem with circuit city laying off knowledgeable people and replacing them with much-lower-paid i-know-nothing types? isn’t that how our glorious economic system works?

looks like circuit city has learned nothing from the home depot fiasco when that company did the same thing and watched their market share drop.

the circuit city situation is people’s exhibit a of management who are penny smart and dollar stupid.

Good morning, Jim,

Gosh, but I do feel safe that packaged beer sales will not threaten us on Sunday. Of course, this lack of legislation does not address the serving of legal drinks at selected restaurants in those counties that have authorized it…wait a minute…counties that authorized it…how did that happen? Doesn’t the General Assembly know what is best for all of us? What is all this foolishness about allowing local citizens to decide community values.

Oh, I get it that only applies to issues of ponography and local control of public schools when Kathy is too afraid to tackle the problem!

For my conservative friends, I, personally do not want any alcohol sales of any sort on Sunday, but, for my liberal friends, the decision should be left to the people of the selected communities, not to the rabble in the legislature.

This is all another example of where Republicans and Democrats are alike. Both pose threats to liberty!

As for pleding the fifth before Congress, too many of the members are too busy drinking the fifth or the quart or even the half-gallon!

All I can say after watching the Congress perform and the Executive branch respond is that we are in a mell of a hess!

Don’t re-elect anyone!

Jim Wooten,

Sunday liquor sales are about “me, me, me” and have something to do with the irrelevant topic of people breaking rules and parking too many cars in the driveway??? Huh?

Following your nonexistent logic on this topic, I can unequivocably state that your obstinate opposition to letting people vote on this issue is all about you, you, you and the Iraq War.

I’m glad that the jury sentenced Lynn Turner as their collective judgement saw fit rather than as vengance demanded. First, because a jury should, and thankfully almost always does, follow the dictates of their conscience, something they should be able to do without being derided as “mushy” or cowardly by people who were not present or responsible (Jim). Second, because that decision will save the state of Georgia hundreds of thousands of dollars in appeal costs and the higher housing costs of death row inmates, and I for one don’t want to spend any more tax dollars on a selfish murderess. Rotting is much cheaper. And finally, I rather like the idea of a woman who killed for shopping money to find herself permanently in orange and denied the hair products she so clearly finds necessary to life. The jury made the right call.

If you want to call it ‘me-centered’, then go for it.

This issue is about time management. In Atlanta we commute over an hour one way each day or in a 5 day work week an average over 10 hours on the road commuting. 80% of Atlanta supports this issue and we have 5 million in population in Atlanta out of 9 million people. Sunday is a huge day for shopping and gas is headed back to $3 a gallon. Maybe we want to buy that microbrew that we have to drive 15 miles away or just want to do all our shopping on Sunday when we are off. Those in small town GA don’t have to face the problems of Atlanta traffic. The problems is money is the only voice in politics the wishes of 80% of 5 million voters is not important to our out of touch politicians any longer. We need to vote them out of office this crowd thinks we aren’t important that is the issue.

So when did we elect Perdue and the other legislators to be God, let alone the only authority in our lives. Why can’t the voters in each county vote on Sunday liquor sales or transportaion funding? That way middle Georgia can stay in the 18th Century and the others compete with other states on quality of life issues. Also, where is the transportation funding bills…held hostage again by idiots that can’t see past their own pockets. Since we are remembering the Civil war, why doesn’t Atlanta succeed from this thuggery?

Wow Jim. In short, I would just add “Amen” to the end of this one and call it a day….

I personally don’t care about Sunday alcohol sales. In fact, if it were available on Sunday, I’d probably find myself in the liquor store a time or two on a Sunday. But if the law doesn’t change, my liquor cabinet is always well stocked, so it doesn’t bother me.

With the utmost respect, I must disagree with my buddy Shar regarding Lynn Turner. I sure wish they would have given her the death penalty. Shar, you made some good points about the cost of appeals, and letting her suffer for life thinking about what she did, but the bottom line is that she viciously killed 2 human beings and she should pay the ultimate price for that.

I know that this will get the liberals going this morning, but….. time to bomb Iran. They have really crossed the line. Yes England is a little slow to retaliate, but they are our allies; we should help them out. Iran is just stepping up to take the place of Iraq in terms of violence against other countries.

I know you’re not surprised that NOW is supporting Hitlary….. That organization doesn’t represent all women; just the liberal ones. I have worked in a largely male workforce since I was 30 years old (for the last 11 years), and in my youth was also involved in a lot of largely male organizations (soccer teams being one). I’ve not been mistreated by men, and this man-hate organization is formed simply to push feminazzi agendas. It certainly doesn’t represent me, and it probably doesn’t suit Condi either. I bet she doesn’t give a rat’s a* that NOW endorsed Hitlary.

Circuit City is just the latest. My wife worked for a TV station in another state that led the market for years and offered its advertising salespeople an attractive commission structure.

Fortunately justice prevailed in this case, at least in part. The station is now last place in everything.

Buy Danish, I highlighted certain words quoted by Matt to make a point. It’s not about the impact of Budweiser sales on Sunday versus FICA. It’s about who’s idea of what choice is more important. Hypothetically, if I had to choose between the two, I’d rather have an opportunity as Matt put it to invest more of my income than to buy Sam Adams on Sunday. Your mileage may vary.

Brett, when I first read that story I thought the same thing (about the soldier and Alec Baldwin). But my mother’s pesky words are ringing in my head right now “if we look hard enough we can find some good in every person”. Ugghhh!!!! Mom, why’d ya have to say that so many times!!!!!! Anyway, I think the soldier and her family deserve a pass on this one. The story didn’t seem to be politically motivated; just Alec (whom I personally think is lower than a snake’s belly!) offering to help out one of our soldiers. It’s probably going to give a young girl a chance to live her dreams, and as long as Alec isn’t planning to ask her for any kind of propaganda in return, I say, let it go.

As for Lynn Turner, the reason (according to the jury who convicted her) that she was not sentenced to death was because they felt sorry for her children.

Regarding Circuit City - minimum wage means we would pay you less if we could (or in this case, can). Same applies to building contractors. By hiring the cheaper less skilled illegal labor, they drove the more expensive skilled american labor out of the market. The result is that my ten year old house has had more problems related to its construction than my parents 30+ year old house ever had.

This is every working American’s fear. Methinks the company has a public relations disaster on its hands.”

Jim:

Your take on the bill that would allow communities to decide for themselves whether alcohol could be sold on Sunday is flawed and poorly thought out, even by lifetime newspaperman standards.

First, Georgia is in a minority of what, 3 states, that still has a blue law? When you find yourself in that kid of minority, you know it’s extremely quirky.

Second, what is wrong with democracy in its purest form and providing communities the right of self-determination? The right preached that when it is a convenient euphamism, and eschews with equal vigor when it suits its purpose. I hope you and the others who are opposed to it have the good sense to knwo that if you do not want to purchase or consume alcohol on Sunday, this bill is not going to force you to do it.

Well, it is a fine day here at the Freedom House. Mrs Freedom heard the Captain fulminating (Dusty: that means acting all upset) about that youg traitor Islamosympathiser who is accepting blood money from the Traitor Baldwin. Her suggestion was to allow the young woman to redeem herself by finding an untainted source of money and using that to pay for her schooling.

Well, the Captain pointed out that any instance of “free” money will only teach this youngster to learn to expect handouts, and that would lead to a wasted college education because she would just go on public assistance and breed like a rabbit to boost her welfare income as so many of her ilk are condemned to do by our nanny state bleeding heart do-gooders.

But, Mrs Freedom insisted that I mention this, Brett, since you are so upset over the issue. Perhaps you could step in and help this armed forces volunteer with her financial needs? I realize you are probably giving until it hurts in your support of the troops, though given your antipathy to taxes you are likely vigorously trimming your returns for the April filing deadline, and thus sacrificing in other ways. In fact, I’m sure you have already enlisted and are likely just waiting for your papers to ship out in the Glorious War on Terror.

But if you have any extra bandwidth, consider offering some practical help so the Baldwins of the world do not have these opportunities to stick it to the Man.

The Captain would like to help, but his payments to Circuit City for the home entertainment center are a bit stiff. But it’s worth every penny that does not go into the pockets of high-acheiving showoff employees. You have not experienced the real frisson (sorry, Frenchy again) of Freedom until you have watched O’Reilly in high definition on a 72” flat plasma screen with surround sound. Just the thought of it teases the Captain’s little soldier out of hiding.

Miriam Conant cannot be currently using online banking - she passed away in 2003. The quote was from her daughter, Margaret Reiser.

Britain, and America by extension, have only themselves to blame for the latest Iranian “incident”. Show a weak face abroad not to mention at home, and someone is going take a poke at it. Once poked you can’t negotiate your way out of it from a position of weakness either. Iran knows they can get away with it not because we lack the capacity to do them harm, but because we lack the will. They wouldn’t be poking if they thought we had the will. This is just the beginning.

Brett - I too am gay, but I don’t see its relevance to the subject matter at hand. You must NEVER have been employed in retail. I grew up in a family retail business and we fought the repeal of Blue Laws with everything we had. We wanted the day off. Now we are forced to open up whether we like it or not. We actually don’t do ANY more business because we are open on Sunday. People just don’t spend as much on Saturday. Before, people just adjusted their schedules. Most liquor stores are family owned businesses and they want to have a day off. If they repeal the Sunday restrictions, everyone has to work seven days a week. This proposed change in the law is only a support program for supermarkets and other chains that stay open already on Sunday. I am usually opposed to govenment regulation of the economy, but I take exception on this one. Plus, if you cannot go one day a week without buying a bottle of booze, then you have a real problem! It is not like you cannot go to a restaurant or a bar. If you want a drink on Sundays, go to Blake’s or buy it on Saturday!

“me dont want to make extra trips to buy what me is buying”

versus

“me dont want you or nobody buying alcohol on sunday because me think sunday is special”

one “me-centered” universe wishes to reduce driving, traffic, consumption of resouces etc

the other “me-centered” universe wishes to impose their “me-centered” universe on everyone!

HOWEVER, the bill was about VOTING, and the “me-centered” universe that wishes to impose their “me-centered” universe on everyone QUASHED DEMOCRACY

Anybody gay, plus anyone who pays taxes for children of gay couples who can’t cover the kids under their health insurance.

Anyone with Alzheimers, MS, or any other disease with potential treatments involving stem cell research. Any of their family members, friends, or those who pay insurance premiums or taxes to support long term care.

Anyone who thinks the government should be concentrating on police/fire/water services, adequate transportation networks, etc., instead of what retailer can sell you booze on Sunday.

stinky pinko lentil gobbling unwashed anti-globalist rabble against global whining

divisive enablers of the 15 million plus mostly mexican type illegals who the hate America crowd demand be allowed to freeload and commit crime forever and a day in the USA

official Pelosibitch and Turdtha supported cut and run from Iraq like yellowbellied headless lice ridden peacenicks on bad Cuban acid endlessly bleating their Bush hate

whilst CNN and aljazeeraBBC smugly cover the shrill sloganising gatherings of smallish clumps of liberal human scum gone bad that undeniably proves euthanasia done right in liberal circles can work wonders for America and the free world!!

Funny how virtually NO lefty appeasing turd has publicly condemned the most hateful of blubbery obese bloated lesbian dogturd O’Dumbell for its deranged paranoid now oft repeated lies that the USA attacked itself on 9/11 to start a war on towel head terror!! And ABC are just letting this treasonous sick puke wash unanswered over the heads of the moronic leftist doltish vapid liberal housewife wimmin who cretinously and unquestioningly lapup such imbecilic drivel!!

Now we see how much leftist wankpigs respect the free speech of others!!

We see how well the “official” moonie like disgusting, pathetic liberal grovelling policy of craven appeasing and bleat bleat “lets talk to everyone to see why they hate us” bollocks is working in the Iranian Hitler’s criminal hostage taking. If nothing else this is showing the cowards in the rest of the world why we will have to kill the leaders and completely destroy, sooner rather than later, the whole evil towel head terror machine.

Good morning all. I will continue to support the prohibition against sale of alcohol on Sundays, but only if potential buyers are subject to the death penalty. I don’t want any laws without teeth in ‘em.

Juries are not competent. I would abolish the jury system entirely. Most of our judges are pretty good, and when they aren’t, we can get rid of them.

PeachCare is a better example of Jim’s “all about me” modern world. Even though the death rate will remain 100%, let’s not save any of our capital to improve the next generation, let’s spend it all, now, on doctors. Strategic planners at work there, obviously.

Thank you, Jim, for the essay on fines. Laws intended merely to impoverish our population are an “Obamanation.” You all saw that funny story about the trademark office rejection, didn’t you?

Credit President Bush with recognizing genius whenever and wherever he sees it. That is why I write here everyday. I’m sure he hangs on my every word.

I think my friend TFTT @ 11:22 is light in his recommendation on Iran. I think the Persians need to be punished more severely. The Brits have enough nukes to apply an appropriate punishment, but I think TFTT needs to add another target or two, e.g., Qom.

Perhaps they need to create a special spelling bee division for those public school student, since they suffer such a handicap.

Not only should all taxes expire within a generation, all criminal laws and all government agency charters ought to expire every 20 years, requiring renewal at least. In fact, for the agencies and for laws restricting immigration, there ought to be a lapse period of five years before renewal, to determine whether there is really a problem addressed by the legislation.

The only surprise to me is that the National Association of Gals did not endorse the only true woman in the race, Edwards.

I bought my first stereo system from a predecessor company of Circuit City, the old Dixie HiFi. Don’t think I’ve bought anything there since then. They are now competing with Walmart.com – not sure a commissioned sales force has a future in an internet world.

One final tidbit, on this date in history (1950), U.S. President Truman denounced Senator Joe McCarthy as a saboteur of U.S. foreign policy. Bush ought to act more like Truman, and denounce the modern saboteurs.

Barak and Hitlery also just recently did the same in Selma - the civil right comemoration was just a backdrop for raising the money.

Also remember the scandal surrounding Gore and Clinton raising money from the Buddhist monks. Conservatives actually do a minimum of that.

I personally think that we in the west should IMMEDIATELY (this weekend) use Iran as the perfect testing ground to see if nuclear weapons can - on demand - trigger earthquakes in a few dozen places. The so called holy s** of Qom should NO longer exist … I had simply assumed that it had been wiped out years ago by Ollie North and the chaps … no matter … add it to the list … but anthrax would be a better weapon than a few mushroom clouds - then, after we get moveyourbowels.org and codepinko scum types to clean up the anthrax without wasting any money on masks or protective suits we can dismantle the poisonous mosques and use them as 1000 Arabian Nights themed casinos in Vegas plus keep a few as replacement prisons for club Gitmo.

The whole episode of Gore trying to bilk the Buddhist monks for campaign money shows just how stupid the Dumbocrats are. Everybody knows those rice eating idolators take a vow of poverty. It makes as much sense as trying to raise campaign funds in a public housing project. Another Demoncrat stronghold, HAH!

No, we True Belief Christians have taken no such vow of poverty, because that’s for LOSERS, like that old Islamoatheist who said “I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

I find it hilarious that Republicans, who are always talking about keeping government out of the way of business, keep fighting to keep the ban on Sunday alcohol sales in place. Whatever happened to “let the market decide”?

It’s even more ironic that you want voters to decide on the state flag and, as you say here, extending a 1-cent transportation sales tax — but you don’t want them choosing whether they can buy (or sell) alcohol on Sundays.

Sorry, Repubs have made a political killing exploiting the 700 Club crowd. Those people aren’t like your liberal Baptist friend. They’re a bunch of theocrats, and the GOP has given them the keys to the party in exchange for a hard-core base of voters.

It’s hysterically funny the theocrats are now a millstone around the GOP’s neck in opposing Sunday booze sales. They’ve touched on an issue that affects more than a picked-upon and disliked minority, so average voters are slamming the attempt to dictate morals through laws. In the process, they’re seeing the hypocrisy of a party that claims to be about “small government” and “personal responsibility”

That’s why Jim has to get out and shill for them now, using weak reasoning like telling us to buy post-it notes. Sad.

Yesterday’s “Myth of Voter Fraud” piece in the Washington Post drove to the heart of the US attorneys scandal. That is, the fired attorneys failed to disenfranchise enough minority voters to satiate Karl Rove voracious appetite for winning elections at any cost — even at the expense of destroying our most fundamental and precious right to vote.

The piece linked to the Purcell v. Gonzalez voter ID decision, which vacated an order by the Court of Appeals and allowed Arizona’s impending election to proceed. However, there was no shortage of light in Justice Kennedy’s opinion, which emphasized the lack of time before the election to resolve the factual disputes. Justice Steven’s concurrence also indicated that facts — not rhetoric — will determine the ultimate disposition of these types of laws:

”Allowing the election to proceed without enjoining the statutory provisions at issue will provide the courts with a better record on which to judge their constitutionality.At least two important factual issues remain largely unresolved: the scope of the disenfranchisement that the novel identification requirements will produce, and the prevalence and character of the fraudulent practices that allegedly justify those requirements. Given the importance of the constitutional issues, the Court wisely takes action that will enhance the likelihood that they will be resolved correctly on the basis of historical facts rather than speculation.”

Given Georgia Voter ID sponsor Rep. Sue Burmeister’s overt racism (e.g., her statement that if blacks in her district “ … are not paid to vote they don’t go to the polls”); the lack of any evidence of anything more that isolated instances of voter fraud in Georgia; the huge amount of disenfranchisement that will likely ensue if the law is enacted; and the essential intelligence and human decency of the new conservative Justices Roberts and Alito – the Georgia Voter ID law will never come close to passing muster in the US Supreme Court.

Real conservatives – those who love our country and our Constitution – will applaud when this pernicious piece of garbage is consigned to the scrapheap of history, alongside disgraced political hacks like Karl Rove and Alberto Gonzalez (and, let’s hope, dim-witted bigots like Sue Burmeister.) If we are fortunate, the damage they’ve caused to our great nation can be undone when men and women of honor and principal are restored to positions of power both here and in Washington DC.

Aquagirl - sorry to burst your bubble with facts again. The Rev. Jesse Jackson comes to mind. So does the Rev. Louis Farrakhan. So does the Rev. Al Sharpton. Jesse is the biggest though. The conservative religious organizations don’t usually raise their money IN THE CHURCH ON SUNDAY. In fact, that is a violation of IRS rules, but many liberals do it anyway and dare the IRS to enforce the rule. That has been a bone of contention for years, but most conservatives are loathe to say anything about it because of the fear of being called racist.

But there is NOTHING wrong, liberal or conservative, with religious organizations backing candidates and giving them money as long as they are up front about it. The Social Gospel Movement was a wonderful agent for change during the early 20th Century.

I am just pointing out that it does happen both ways. Deal with it.

Again, Truthsayer stumbles across some Truth (like blind squirrell beneath an oak tree), but fails to gather the nut.

It is of course true that we True Belief Conservatives are hampered by our fear of appearing racist. (It especially saddens me to think of the way poor TFTT has to carefully filter his thoughts to make them more palatable to the tender eyes visiting this forum.)

For if it were not for this constraint, our arguments could be more forceful, more powerful, more Kryptonic to the Stupormen of the limpwristed left.

We could unleash the mighty power of our disdain for the wetbacks and darkies, for the Sorosjewcabal, for the welfare Queens with their Cadillacs and Kool cigarettes. We could point out how good things were “back then” when people “knew their place”.

We could proudly admit to pollsters that we had no intention of voting for anyone with dark skin, even the Sapphic Condoleeza (for you see, we fear being pegged as homphobic, even though we hate their sin, while Loooooooving the sinner).

We could support good White Christians like Burmeister and David Duke, we could proudly fight when Trent Lott is vilified for yearning for them old times that are not forgotten, when we wave our Stars and Bars of Heritage, when we tut-tut at “those people” and their helpless rutting and breeding.

We could admit that we hate and fear anyone of Arabic or Persian descent, that we think Mosques should all be torn down, or at least placed next to pig racing tracks. We could embrace profiling as a useful tool to speed up OUR movements through airports while only those swarthy terrorist-looking types undergo search, and hopefully, siezure.

Yes, if only Conservatives weren’t so afraid of being seen as bigoted. Why then we’d show the world a thing or two.

Wanting the right to vote on Sunday beer sales is “me, me, me?” No, no, no. It is one set up people imposing their religous beliefs on everyone else. There is no other justification to it. The norm (which is short for “normal,” by the way) in this country is Sunday beer sales. Those who oppose the right to even vote on Sunday beer sales are actually the ones who are saying me, me, me. As in, my, my, my religous beliefs about alcohol are so important that I can’t allow you to have the right to make your own decision on an otherwise legal activity.

But put it another way, Jim. If Sunday beer sales were currently legal, how would you justify passing a law to outlaw it?

Let’s just take it a step further—seriously. If Sunday beer sales are so offensive, I can’t imagine why we are not outlawing drinking on Sundays—all drinking, public, private, in your own home. Wouldn’t that make the folks who oppose Sunday beer sales even happier? And then, if not drinking on Sunday is good, not drinking during the rest of the week would be even better. Wait. Isn’t that how we justified Prohibition? Is that what you are advocating, Jim?

I always appreciate the views you write about though we are usually on opposite sides of the issue.

I rarely buy alcohol yet don’t understand how a legal product can be restricted from being sold on certain days. Since cigarettes cause cancer or emphysema in so many people, why are they not restricted…especially on Sundays? The product should be sold or not sold without restriction on a particular day. I believe you are being inconsistent with your in that it is not about “me, me, me”. It is about the State of GA interfering with a business owner’s right to sell a legal product on a particular day. If you truly want less government intervention, why do they intervene in the legal selling of a product (except on the 7th of a 7-day week)?

As to Circuit City, it devastates me a company can so blatantly declare why they are doing what they are doing. On the other hand, it has been your view that paying market rates for labor is the right way to do things as we avoid raising the minimum wage. That’s what they were doing in this case and those people receiving the market wage are now being replaced.

Choose a side and stick to it; quit waffling for the convenience of the topic being argued!

Truthsayer, you’re right that political parties have always used churches, religion, and God. Have Democrats directly sought contributions from churchgoers, in violation of IRS laws? Maybe. But I’m not sure that Jesse Jackson passing the plate down on Auburn avenue has produced much cash for the Democrats.

The Republicans haven’t so much raised cash as they have co-opted God. It was an open GOP tactic in the ‘04 elections to get gay marriage bans on the ballot, in order to bring out the theocrats. Energizing the base was the phrase used. It allowed them to use evangelicals, knowing that they would vote Republican just on a “biblical” basis. Nothing else mattered, even Republican stances that might not be in line with WWJD.

Would the Democrats do stuff like that if they were smart enough? Sure. But really, Ralph Reed has tons more influence in political circles than Jesse Jackson. Ralph sums up the ick factor well…accepting money from one tribe to squish the competition from another in a business, and using Jesus and churchfolk to get it done. If anyone would pay Jesse Jackson to do the same, they’d get ripped off.

Oh, and your glorious Social Gospel movement brought us the only Constitutional amendment to ever be repealed. Glorious indeed. History teaches that the Jesus as a Precinct Captain crowd will eventually fall from power, and go into the loser bin of history. Bush has a biiiiiig spot waiting for him.

You were off to such a poetical start this morning. You know…booze, refuse and blues. But then came the petite faux pas.

Not to worry, Jim. We all read in a hurry and make little mistakes. For instance, I read the Captain’s miasmic morning meanderings and thought that he said he was “fumigating”!

Well, I knew that was quite the proper procedure for the misleading metaphors of the Captain’s mien (for Cap’n—mien means bearing or aspect). But alas, he was only “fulminating” which, in his case, means getting full-of-it.

But back to poetry and my favorite lines from that copacetic scribe Omar khayyam in his Rubaiyat:The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on; nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

Captain Freedom - you are no more a conservative than I am a Buddhist. You are making the assumption by your ranting that you do indeed think that conservatives are racists.

I was making a point that SOME conservatives are afraid of being called racists. Liberals, many of whom are racists, in a very subtle and insidious way, never worry about that because they can claim to have the interests of the poor at heart. They push affirmative action, for instance, because they truly believe that certain “minorities” cannot make it without “help.”

I have sat and listened to this explained to me in all sincerity. The racism of these condescending twits is palpable. However, whenever I talk about the inherent unfairness and racism involved in such quota programs for any reason, I am immediately labled as racist. I just want a level playing field. Discrimination is discrimination. Using skin color or religion or ethnicity as a reason to exclude anyone is wrong. I thought that was what the purpose and goal of the civil rights movement. I also remember that Senator Hubert Humphrey was asked if such “programs” or “policies” would arise because of his legislation and he said NO. He stated that these new policies would just level the playing field.

Now I will prepare for the hatred and vitriol which will be spewed my way for this position.

A few weeks ago….and at the recommendation of David Shafer….Senator Dan Moody, an opponent of the Sunday alcohol sales bill SB137, was added to the Regulated Indistries and Utility Committee, presumably to help bog it down. For those not familiar, this bill would have (if passed) allowed local city/county governments in Georgia to let their residents vote on Sunday alcohol package sales if that municipality already had legalized sales the rest of the week.

Moody is quoted in a related article stating, “I would like to see us leave Sunday as a day we’re not selling alcoholic beverages in any fashion.”

Yet, on his website moodyforgeorgia.org, Senator Moody says, “Government efficiency is a goal that is not only attainable in Georgia, but should be expected. I believe that the government entity closest to the people should be the first choice when undertaking public tasks. Only if they are unable or unwilling should a larger government entity take up the task.

“In practice, the task should first be tackled by the community or city and if the city cannot handle it, then the county. Next, the state; and only if no smaller unit can possibly do the job should the federal government be considered. This is merely the application to the field of politics of that wise and time-tested principle of never asking a larger group to do that which can be done by a smaller group. It is more cost efficient and the results are tailor made for the community.”

So, Dan….which is it? Are the local governments simply unwilling to handle this themselves, or unable?

Or maybe when it comes to matters you base on your faith, a bit of hypocrisy is warranted in your eyes.

Aquagirl at 2:05,

I don’t believe your “liberals/Democrats” are too incompetent approach is valid.

Christians from both the right and left propose and advocate policies that are consistent with their values. For example, Christians from the left seek government policies to help the less fortunate while Christians from the right (inconsistent with their usual pronouncements for smaller government) seek to have government ban alcohol sales on the Sabbath and/or prevent homosexuals from marrying one another. Two different mindsets read the same Bible, but come away with very different lessons and priorities. Fair enough.

However, the important distinction is that the Christian left respects our Constitutional right to freedom of religion (and freedom from religion); the Christian right does not. Contrary to the Constitution, the Christian right seeks to place Judeo-Christian symbols and impose Judeo-Christian prayers and creeds wherever and whenever they can get away with it: courtrooms, classrooms, halls of Congress and state legislatures, public school events, currency, etcetera. They also seek to use taxpayer funds to drive children out of public schools and into Christian schools.

In addition to having no respect for the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the Constitution, the Christian right doesn’t respect the belief systems of others — period. If they had their way, all of America’s children, including children of Muslims, Hindus, atheists, Buddhists and agnostics, would be attending Falwell/Robertson/Dobson-operated madrasahs.

Yes, there’s significant difference between advocating policies consistent with one values and advocating for the advancement of a particular faith (or version of faith) either through government or with taxpayer funds.

Be careful with your proclamations that “conservatives believe this and conservatives believe that”. Such statements are why more and more people are avoiding the Republican Party and aligning themselves with Democrats.

Conservatives believe in smaller government — except when they don’t (e.g. 8.8 trillion national debt).

Conservatives believe in the will of the people and don’t want “activist” judges — except when they don’t (e.g. the “conservative” court recently overturned D.C.’s gun control laws).

Conservatives believe in a Republic system of government — except when they don’t — then let the people decide (e.g. gay marriage).

Conservatives believe in letting the people decide — except when they don’t (e.g. liquor laws).

Conservatives believe in the U.S. Constitution — except when they don’t (e.g. ignoring the Establishment/Free Exercise Clauses, ignoring the first clause of the Second Amendment, ignoring the Ninth Amendment).

Conservatives believe in a strong defense – except when they don’t (the current state of our military has made us impotent).

It seems that whenever so-called conservatives make a broad generalization about what they believe, they end up demonstrating to others that the proclamation they made yesterday, doesn’t apply today. You can continue to refer to yourself as a conservative if you wish, but you risk your credibility in the process.

James,

What I mean is this - some conservatives want to force people to drink less on Sundays, so they enforce Blue laws. Some liberals think that everybody should provide for the poor, so they push laws that raise taxes. It’s the same concept drawn two different ways. And they both decrease freedom - one socially and one economically. I believe those who don’t want to drink on Sundays shouldn’t do it. And those who want to give to the poor should do it. But don’t force everyone else to abide by your values.

It’s not about “me, me, me” but only about “you, you, you.” It’s about YOUR religious beliefs affecting the lives of an overwhelming majority. It’s about YOUR desire to control the otherwise legal behavior of others that causes us to be only one of 3 states with alcohol laws closer to an Islamic nation than to developed western democracies. It’s people like YOU who are intolerant of others because they may not fit into your White Protestant views. It’s people like YOU who make people like ME consider moving somewhere more open-minded, and taking my high income and high education with me.

Thinkin’ out loud has a good point…conservative christians who are typified by Ralph Reed aren’t happy with freedom of religion. And they will use government instruments to promote and stomp down anyone who isn’t a “christian” that believes exactly like they do.

Do you see a liberal movement to legally ban saying “Merry Christmas”. Nope. But you see conservative christians trying to have school sanctioned prayer, (as in led by a teacher) school promotion of their particular beliefs, (see:nuts in Cobb County) and promotion of what they see as their religion by placement of the Ten Commandments in public places.

No, they can’t rent a billboard on GA 400 and plug the Ten Commandments, they have to put them in a government building. Thus implying that this is “their” government, and others can sod off.

Kris,

You seem to be stating the obvious. When some vote to impose taxes, for example, to pay for a military, police and fire departments, then they are, as you say, “decreasing freedom”. When some vote to support anti-drug laws, put up red lights or impose odd-even watering bans, then they’re “decreasing freedom”. For society to function, we have to give up some freedoms – especially if they impose on or endanger others. The alternative is anarchy.

Contrary to the rhetoric from the right, the debate isn’t about whether one side believes in freedom more than the other. As you observed both the politically left and right seek to decrease freedoms — social and economic. The left/right debate is actually about which freedoms to preserve and which freedoms to give up and under what circumstances (the debate over certain provisions of the Patriot Act is a good example of such a debate).

Democrats instituted the ban on Sunday alcohol sales in Georgia - not the Republicans. The opposition for a change comes, for the most part, from rural Georgia. Compared to other issues in Georgia Sunday alcohol sales is of minor importance but sure is handy for all the Liberals to use as the “cause of the day”.

Jen, the problem I see with your position on Conservatives is that you accept all who claim to be Conservative are as they say. I would argue that George Bush and the Republicans in Congress claimed to be Conservatives in order to win office but once there acted as Liberals. Their actions provide the evidence to refute their words.

One assumption on this blog is that to support the Office of the President is to support all that George W. Bush has done. The President has done much that is contrary to the Conservative philosophy but that does not mean Al Gore or John Kerry would have been a better choice.

The Democrats would not have won the majority in the House if not for the moderate and conservative newcomers such as Heath Schuler. Dependent upon the source of the information, there are 14-18 new Democrat House Members who are moderate or conservative. The claim of a Liberal mandate starts to pale with this information.

The Democrats talk about setting a date for withdrawal from Iraq but the reality is that the Congress has the right to stop funding the effort and that would end our involvement, but there seems to be a lack of courage or commitment to take the step. A lack of honesty perhaps?

Similarly the President continues to ask for supplemental spending to fund the war rather than including the money in his budget. The administration would rather “talk” about reducing the deficit. Another example of a lack of honesty. Then the Democrats counter by adding Pork to the supplemental spending bill with the full knowledge there will be a Presidential veto - more dishonesty.

My point is that we have hypocrisy on both sides and until the people who vote send these clowns a message we will continue to have talk with no action.

Iran is acting just as they did in 179-1980. Recall that the Great Liberal, Jimmy Carter, used an appeasement approach to the hostage crisis during his Presidency and the result was 444 days in captivity for Americans. Lone cowboy act indeed!

Oh yes, that cowboy, Ronald Reagan, solved the problem on Inauguration Day in 1980 by making plain his intentions during the election.

This has nothing to do with Bush or Britain but has all to do with the Ayatollah and the Iranian government throwing out their chests for the people of Iran. The British Marines just happened to be in an area where they were vulnerable.

I would suggest all of you research the treatment of the hostages in 1979-80 by Iran before you decide this is a situation that calls for diplomacy

Wow looks like I missed some real fun yesterday. Conservatives disagreeing with each other and the usual liberal RAT suspects spewing their sewage. Anyway, my comments…

My refrigerators are always well stocked as well as the wine chiller and bar. I don’t see what all the fuss is about on Sunday alcohol sales other than the fact that the Bible Belt won’t get past the 1930s. Of course, if I were really with it, I’d do like a crazy neighbor used to do: sell my booze on Sunday for a nice profit to some alcoholic who forgot to buy on Saturday night.

Interesting comment about the death penalty. I used to be a staunch advocate of the death penalty. But lately I have come to the realization that keeping someone alive for the rest of their life in a 6x10 cell is in reality worse punishment than snuffing someone out. That said, I’d snuff someone out in a New York second if they threatened my life or the life of a loved one like entering my home or trying to carjack me. No questions asked.

I think a lot of those heavy handed fines are as much about discouragement as they are about government pocket lining. Of course, I’m sure if you talk to relatives of a dead loved one who was killed working at a highway construction site, the last thing they’d mention was government pocket lining instead of speeding discouragement and heavy fines.

Why we just can’t have any positive news coming out of Iraq. Just look at Friday’s al Jazeera Constipation headline picture. We need to pull out now before that light at the end of the tunnel gets any bigger. We are damned determined to ensure Bush is a failure, even using our troops as political pawns and pork barrel carriers while pretending we really care about them.

The Harland story of success is the antithesis of what the disease of liberalism stands for in this nation: nobody should be more successful than someone else because it’s not fair. Any time you work 60-80 hours a week to start your own company and sell it decades later for millions, you are just “fortunate” or are “winning life’s lottery.” Or even better, you are stepping on the backs of the poor and “working class” to get there. Sick liberals.

Diseased liberals are cheering for the UK to lose against Iran. The news of the soldier captures is music to their ears. They love it when an enemy of the West and capitalism and military might gets knocked down a few pegs. Oh, and don’t think for one second these same diseased creatures representing the sick left don’t think the same about the US.

The RAT pack clowns in Washington will investigate everything down to a lintball in a Republican’s pocket. They and their wicked serpent lawyers will then question and question and probe and probe until they find SOME snippet of detail about that lintball that either is suspiciously inaccurate or that the Republican being questioned can’t remember specifically, and then BAMMO! Trial time in front of a RAT pack of jurors. Eff’ ‘em all with the Fifth. F you, RATs.

Note how most of the jackass liberals said only negative things about a home-schooler winning a spelling bee (again). The sick liberals will never acknowledge anything positive from a policy they disagree with (in this case, it’s keeping a kid away from the neonazi liberal demoncat indoctrination camps known as public schools). The RATs here had to make comments like “well what about math and other parts of education?” Well, what ABOUT them, liberals?

“The average homeschool 8th grade student performs four grade levels above the national average (Rudner study). One in four homeschool students (24.5%) are enrolled one or more grades above age level. Students who have been home schooled their entire lives have the highest scholastic achievement.”

Jason, who is 17 years old, was home-schooled by his mother. After he scored 1,570 out of a possible 1,600 on his SAT college-admissions test — with a perfect 800 in math — Oglethorpe invited him to compete with other top applicants for five scholarships valued at about $100,000 apiece. Of the 94 prospects in the Jan. 22 contest, eight were home-schoolers, each with SATs above 1,300.

Don’t ever let the FACTS get in the way of a good overestrogened limpwristed liberal’s feelings about an issue.

So MARTA is extending the transportation tax to 2047? I wonder if they will make any of those funds retroactive and null after the north rail line expansion is completed in 25 years? MARTA makes government solutions look efficient and timely.

Builder: “Finding quality craft tradespeople has been a challenge for many, many years, and anything that could potentially affect that number causes great concern.”

I’ve been constantly saying that on this blog since day one. Americans have become fat and lazy and want an immediate success story. Nobody wants to learn a trade and work hard for 10 years learning the business before starting up one’s own company (and selling it 20 years later for $15 million like someone I know). We all either want to win the lottery, score a record deal, become a sports star, or some other easy way of “making it.” Of course, another reason why so many Americans don’t want to learn a trade is because they feel those jobs are beneath them. Even liberals who supposedly care for the “working class” have disdain for them (especially if they are a Republican). Anyway, to think we wonder why it’s an act of congress trying to get a plumber or electrician to return a phone call.

No comment on Circuit City. They can run their business however in the hell they want to. If they want to fire everyone and use robots, they can do that. It’s a free country for businesses (so far without Hitllary in charge). Those jobs belong to Circuit City, not the cities they reside in.

Jim,

Your comment about people wanting Sunday liquor sales focusing on “me, me, me!” was very nearly right…the religious “right”.

Those wanting to restrict Sunday liquor sales already have the “right” to not purchase liquor on Sunday. What they want is to impose their “me, me, me” views on others.

Instead, the Legislature should enact a law that permits Sunday liquor sales throughout the state. Then each storeowner should make his/her own decision about whether or not they want to sell liquor on Sundays. Now each consumer would be able to express their individual views (freedoms) by either patronizing or boycotting stores that sell (or don’t sell) alcoholic beverages on Sunday.

Your position allows the Legislature to bestow “rights” based upon religious beliefs instead of treating all citizens equally. And I thought that you supported the Constitution…

I believe that Jim Wooten’s comment on Sunday liquor sales goes more to the “tempest in a teapot” kind of thing. Why get upset over Sunday liquor store sales when all you have to do is buy on Saturday or go to a restaurunt? In other words, why increase your blood pressure over nothing?

I don’t believe that liquor is mentioned in the Constitution but you can link the buying of it with personal freedom if you try.

I have no interest in the sale of alcohol. You can buy and get dead drunk on Sunday as far as I am concerned, as long as you don’t get on the road or shoot at the neighbors.

As far as I can discern, drinking alcohol is no sin. Not until it causes personal degredation and family and public distress. Then it is made evil by the decisions of the drinker.

Oh well, I will ask at church tomorrow if anybody is a drunkard and would like to explain their plight? I’ll let you know the answers.

Anyone who thinks that the Sunday Alcohol beverage issue is a “tempest in a teapot” either wants to continue banning such sales, or doesn’t care about the issue (as you say you don’t).

The real issue isn’t about Sunday alcohol sales as much as it is about the state government and evangelicals dictating behavior to others. As far as the US Constitution, it is my opinion that when a state enacts legislation that favors a certain religious view, then my Constitutional rights are being violated. If our state Legislature passed a law that required Christian church services between 2nd & 3rd period of every school day, I suspect there would be a tremendous outcry from many, if not most, Georgians.

Wanting less government regulation is an example of being “me-centered?” Does that hold true universally - can we say that wanting the right to bear arms is an example of being me-centered (“it’s my gun…”)? What about wanting freedom from affirmative action? I mean, the objection there is that “I,” a wealthy white male, don’t get to attend the college I want because someone else gets to - me, me, me.

Of course, if you think about it for more than three seconds, America was founded on the idea that the people are free - free to own guns, free to make contracts, and, yes, free to buy and sell goods on whatever day they want. Governmental intrusion into that was supposed to be limited. Is that “freedom” thing “me-centered?” Yes - and the other possibility is “state-centered.” (You know, all for the good of the country - don’t be selfish, comrade).

This, from a man who made hero movies of himself while McCain was serving time in the Hanoi Hilton. This, from a man who came back with a few scratches and three Purple Hearts who then threw them over the White House fence in protest (or were those his ribbons? or were those someone else’s medals?). This, from a man who protested on the same grounds where that stench of perfect liberal anti-Americanism Hanoi Jane protested. And not long after she returned from mounting an AA gun that may have shot down some of the US pilots who were being REALLY tortured on the same soil she was on.

If I were McCain, I would have slapped the snot out of that @sshole for even coming up to me and opening his filthy RAT sewer about ANYTHING.

Here is what one of the links provided by that non-story states about new guidelines put into effect by one of its graduates, Kay Coles James:

The departments appear on track, via regulations coming out later this month, to discard the 15-grade General Schedule and replace it with a pay system that more closely ties raises to job performance. The new pay systems, which will be phased in, will affect about half of the government’s workforce.

The departments also plan other workforce changes, such as streamlining the process for handling employee appeals of disciplinary action and revamping their labor-management relations. Some of the labor changes could scale back the clout of federal unions at the departments, and the changes will not be greeted warmly when imposed.

URS Corp., a San Francisco planning and engineering firm partially owned by California Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s husband, landed an Army contract Monday worth up to $600 million.//The award to help with troop mobilization, weapons systems training and anti-terrorism efforts is the latest in a string of plum defense jobs snared by URS. In February, the firm won an army engineering and logistics contract that could bring in $3.1 billion during the next eight years.//Government contracting has come under increasing scrutiny by Congress and citizen groups, with critics decrying the political connections of firms winning lucrative jobs. Richard Blum, Feinstein’s husband, serves on the company’s board of directors and controls about 24 percent of the firm’s stock//A Feinstein spokesman Monday declined to comment on the contract.

“I’m equally happy, Gen. Garde is on target, that the president is going to visit our wounded soldiers. I’m convinced that he would honor them more if he would refrain from using soldiers as props in political theater.

We have a commander-in-chief who does very well when he is unscripted, unrehearsed and engaging with soldiers. But too often those who handle his performances try to turn the American fighting man and woman into a political prop for the scenery.

So I would be very happy to see him do the Water Reed visit more like the commander and secondarily as an inspector general instead of as a politician. The inspector general in the U.S. army is the fellow charged with ferreting out problems such as Walter Reed and delivering the nature of the problem to the commander. So it is best that the commander in chief pursue this visit to Walter Reed as commander in fact of the American fighting man and the American fighting woman.

N-GA and other anti-Israel propagandists,

What about Arab “apartheid” of the Palestinians? Here’s an in-depth history lesson that reviews the history of the Arab/Israeli conflict including the treatment of the Palestinians by the Arabs.

At the moment of Israel’s birth, Palestinian Arabs lived on roughly 90 percent of the original Palestine Mandate – in Transjordan and in the UN partition area, but also in the new state of Israel itself. There were 800,000 Arabs living in Israel alongside 1.2 million Jews. At the same time, Jews were legally barred from settling in the 35,000 square miles of Palestinian Transjordan, which eventually was renamed simply “Jordan.”//The Arab population in the slivers called Israel had actually more than tripled since the Zionists first began settling the region in significant numbers in the 1880s.The reason for this increase was that the Jewish settlers had brought industrial and agricultural development with them, which attracted Arab immigrants to what had previously been a sparsely settled and economically destitute area.//If the Palestinian Arabs had been willing to accept this arrangement in which they received 90 percent of the land in the Palestine Mandate, and under which they benefited from the industry, enterprise and political democracy the Jews brought to the region, there would have been no Middle East conflict. But this was not to be.

And the rest, as they say, is “history”.

Yaaawwwwwwnnnnnn.

Muhammad was 52 and Aisha was 9 when they married and sexually consummated their marriage. Muhammad followed an Arab custom in marrying a child who had her first menstrual cycle. This action must be questioned, regardless of it being a cultural norm, because Muhammad’s action and teachings on marriage established an Islamic precedent: a girl is judged an adult following her first menses, and is eligible for marriage and sexual relations. Thus Muslim men are allowed to marry and have intercourse with young girls who have happened to have an early first menstrual cycle. As will be shown, this leads to physical and psychological damage to the child.

From the very first review of John and Teresa Heinz’s book This Moment In Earth (weep, weep) on Amazon:

“The Kerrys own five palatial mansions: a $7-million, 88-acre estate in Fox Chapel, Pa., near Pittsburgh that includes 14 bedrooms, 12 baths, a swimming pool, and a 9-room carriage house; a 12 room, $13-million townhouse on Boston’s Beacon Hill; a $12-million beach house in Nantucket; a $15-million ski chalet in Ketchum, Idaho, near Sun Valley, … and a 23 room, $4.7-million townhouse in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C.” (From _Human Events_, August 30, 2004)

I’m confident that the Kerrys create a larger “carbon footprint” with their Ketchum compound alone than I do with my Idaho hovel, and I live here all year ‘round!

Furthermore, they’re not getting from place to place in public transportation, or a Prius, but rather a Gulfstream V jet.

Sorry to hear about your friend, Jim.

You can’t expect a lib to act like an adult for more than a few minutes:

So forgive me for believing that some things are more important than winning elections. War is one of them. It’s a matter in which even elected officials ought to be prepared to put principle above politics.

Can this really be Grand Poohba of the Urinal Editorial Board or am I on the wrong page, no it’s her, what’s up with the clear headed, realistic, non partisan reasoning? Is this the start of a new trend, the turning of a leaf so to speak?

{{{Middle East: Now that President Bush and his neoconservative chickenhawks have dragged us into Iraq, leaving won’t be simple or pretty.}}}

Uh, never mind.

Let’s check and see what the “chickenhawks” were saying before we were “drug” into Iraq: {{{Although no one doubts our forces will prevail over Saddam Hussein’s, key regional leaders confirm what the Foreign Relations Committee emphasized in its Iraq hearings last summer: The most challenging phase will likely be the day after—or, more accurately, the decade after—Saddam Hussein. Once he is gone, expectations are high that coalition forces will remain in large numbers to stabilize Iraq and support a civilian administration. That presence will be necessary for several years, given the vacuum there, which a divided Iraqi opposition will have trouble filling and which some new Iraqi military strongman must not fill… . Americans are largely unprepared for such an undertaking. President Bush must make clear to the American people the scale of the commitment.- Joe Biden and Chuck Hagel, Neocon chickenhawks}}}

All of these pinkos voted to invade Iraq and now we have them on record voting to abandon the Iraqi people and our soldiers.

Shameless cowards all.

And check this out for prime examples of two faced pinko speak:

There is no way to undo the damage we’ve done.

That in the middle of a column saying we can’t leave? Does Cynthia want U.S. troops to die for no reason? Her argument at it’s very basis belies the fact that we are doing good in Iraq but her mouth says there is no hope. Which Queen Pinko do we believe?

Keeping significant numbers of U.S. troops on patrol will lead to a higher casualty count, but not much else.

And unless thousands of U.S. troops are left behind to keep out meddlers, the entire Middle East could erupt in conflict.

Let me guess, nuance, right?

Chuck Hagel is a wounded and decorated combat veteran of the Vietnam War.

“Chickenhawk” refers to right-wingers who are bellicose about sending young men and women to war without having had the courage to fight in one themseleves (e.g., Bush, Cheney, Newt, Dan Quayle, Bill Kristol, Wolfowitz, Tom Delay, O’Reilly, Pat Buchanan, Rush, et. al.)

My nomination for the best two chickenhawk stories are Rush (excused from the draft because he had a recurring pimple on his rear end), and this quote from Tom Delay: “So many minority youths had volunteered…that there was literally no room for patriotic folks like myself.”

And before you bring up Democrats, remember, the chickenhawks supported the Vietnam war — as long as someone else had to do the fighting and dying there.

On Meet The Depressed, Hatch never interrupted Leahy, but Leahy tried it with Hatch. Yeah you TELL Leahy to SHUT UP when he interrupts you, Hatch. It’s about time the Republicans start growing a pair against these dirty RATs. I am WAY over their shenanigans of Frankensteining “scandals.”

Markus - The original tax cuts were misguided. Repealing a tax cut isn’t a “tax increase” unless the rates after the repeal are higher than they were in the first place.

We all know the Repug’s are gonna frame the tax cut repeal issue as the “biggest tax increase ever.” It’s time we consider that to be the spin that it really is.

JP,

It’s your economy when those “misguided” tax cuts are repealed. That will be YOUR baby to take care of startig from Nanny Pelosivich. But alas, you are of the ilk where tax refunds are “given” and income is “redistributed,” so ask me if I really give a damn what you Marxist liberal RATs on the left think about the matter. I’ve got my way out planned.

One more thing JP, coming from someone who probably agrees with the RAT pack that a non-increase in funding of a social policy is a “decrease” in next year’s funding budget, I’d hardly consider whatever you have to say on the matter of tax increases as credible as well.

Sunday morning political TV shows are about 67% RAT representation, and 33% Republican representation. This is a combination of watching this morning’s Meet The Depressed, Fox News Sunday With Chris Wallace, Chris “Softballs” Matthews (just started), and George Steponanoctopus (just started).

And to think the limpwristed left complains about AM talk radio and Fox News. When there are no Conservative thoughts espoused or represented anymore, the Party Of The Permanently Miserable will finally sit down and STFU.

Looks like these jackals on the miserable left will be miserable for some time to come.

Softballs Matthews to Joe Klein of Time:

“So, Joe, you are the number one expert on the Clintons… what do you think about..”

Klein never saw the Clintoons behind the scenes like freaking Clintoon political advisor Dick Morris did. But since Dick Morris has negatives to say about the Clintoons, he’s not an “expert” on them.

You just have to love the mentality of liberal demoncat Mr. Potatohead Matthews.

By the way, how valid is that “poll” out there that says 50% of Americans ID themselves as RAT yet only 35% as Republican? WTF? Are all those people who voted for Reagan in a landslide twice and Gingrich & CO. either dead or have turned RAT? Puh-leeze. Oh sure, and Bush blew up the World Trade Center too. Idiots.

Listen to the towelhead anti-Western warmongers in Iran whine about Britain:

“After the arrest of these people, the British government, instead of apologizing and expressing regret, over the action taken, started to claim that we are in their debt and shouted in different international councils,”

Oh WAAAAH. Britain gave the middle finger to Iran and went to Big Brother in a legal matter instead of bending over facing East and wussifying themselves.

Why Iran has not been specifically threatened with a release deadline yet is beyond me. The more we all sit back and be wussies, the stronger their will of destroying us all becomes.

Is this how you Libs keep folks on the plantation?

Develop a Mulitcultural Curriculum- Classroom diversity is the starting point.

(Click on the Diversity Dialogue Newsletter to get these excerpts)

Black English Vernacular (BEV)- BEV is a dialect of English (referred to as ebonics) spoken primarily by African Americans.

It is important to reassure students they can learn to use standard English without losing their familiar language.

Teachers can:

Switch into BEV in specific situations or informal discussion

Students can:

Translate common phrases in Standard English into BEV.

So we live today in a world of one-way sovereignty: American, British and Iraqi forces in Iraq respect the Syrian and Iranian borders; the Syrians and Iranians do not respect the Iraqi border. Patrolling the Shatt al-Arab at a time of war, the Royal Navy operates under rules of engagement designed by distant fainthearts with an eye to the polite fictions of “international law”: If you’re in a ”warship,” you can’t wage war. If you’re in a ”destroyer,” don’t destroy anything. If you’re in a “frigate,” you’re frigging done for. On Sept. 11, a New York skyscraper was brought down by the Egyptian leader of a German cell of an Afghan terror group led by a Saudi. Islamism is only the first of many globalized ideological viruses that will seep undetected across national frontiers in the years ahead. Meanwhile, we put our faith in meetings of foreign ministers.

So where’s Pelosi at today, anybody want to take a guess?

Doing her best imitation of Jimmy Carter, babbling like an idiot in front of a bunch of people that want to kill all of us?

Wanna bet she comes out of the palace wearing a burqa?

They don’t give a F about what we have to say, same as I went this morning and “forgave of the sins against me,” these killers probably apologized for not slaughtering any infidels or Jews last week.

What are we “talking” to them about?

And where did 8 years of Clinton wind and noise and light get us?

Flaming skyscrapers with people leaping out of them?

steve-o,

Instead of being an overemotional little girlie boy liberal with ADD, why don’t you PUT DOWN YOUR BARBIE DOLL AND PAY ATTENTION.

“The article in the Diversity Dialogue notes that many students use BEV. It encourages teachers to recognize this fact and to not pre-judge students’ intelligence or lower their expectations of students based on their use of non-standard English.”

Now by NOT teaching students that ebonics is not proper in American society, we can easily deduce that they are condoning this twisted “cool” way of thinking. NOT correcting = TEACHING. In an indirect way. But I know pansieassed liberal demoncats like YOU are more afraid of offending someone that freaking TEACHING THEM. Blow it out your @ss, RAT.

You are way too sensitive and immature to have any decent political conversation.

The article said that teachers shouldn’t have lower expectations for students that speak in BEV. It didn’t say anything about not teaching them proper English or encouraging them to use BEV. Again, it said that they shouldn’t have lower expectations of students based on their use of BEV.

So I ask you again, what are you b!tching about?

You are very gullible aren’t you? The Rochester School District spun it to deny that they were using BEV or Ebonics, but if you read the “Diversity Dialogue” PDF, it clearly promotes the use of “BEV” to promote “self-esteem”.

Here is a wonderful parody of Ebonics, called Hebonics.

You guys are seriously over-reacting. The Rochester schools are figuring out ways to better teach kids Standard English. Recongnizing the fact that a significant proportion of black children speak a certain pattern of English dialect at home and then teaching STANDARD ENGLISH according to that is not too far-fetched. Again, they are trying to teach the kids STANDARD ENGLISH. Don’t we all agree that kids should learn STANDARD ENGLISH?

Buy Danish,

Growing up black and employing the use of BEV quite frequently throughout my life, I really don’t see what the huge controversy is. There are certain speech patterns that a lot of blacks use based on many influences. Obviously this is a touchy subject and should be handled with the uttmost delicacy so as to not offend anyone with any form of condescension. But I truly believe that if teachers can find creative and innovative ways to effectively teach proper English grammar, then why not give it a shot. I mean, we want to make sure that no child is left behind…correct?

I hope you are not in any position to “educate” our children. Pandering to people and worrying about how “delicate” the situation is a useless solution and a typical liberal response.

Engaging students in the vernacular only exacerbates the problem. The best way to teach “proper English grammar” is to speak it properly. That is how language is learned. It’s really very simple.

Call it a form of tough love.

Steve-O,

No one is suggesting that these kids be treated in a demeaning manner. Teaching the correct way to do something is not condescending in and of itself. If a white child is taught to say “I am not” instead of “ain’t”, no one gives it a second thought.

Suggesting that teachers engage them in the vernacular, or that students translate standard English into the vernacular IS condescending.

It assumes that they can’t learn standard English without being pandered to.
