[quote]It's her right and not my right to attack her.[/quote] Of course you have the right to attack her, but I wonder how a thread about Sarah Palin's religious rights somehow translates to an attack on religion in general. Of course, most discussions stray down all sorts of roads, but I notice that some missionaries just can't seem to discuss anything without proselyting.

[quote]Besides before when abortion was illegal(pre-1973) [/quote] I'm just wondering if Mooseplow thinks abortion was illegal in the US prior to Roe V. Wade.
Don't worry too much about that. The only thing Charlie Gibson accomplished in that interview was making a fool of himself. He puts the "incompetent" back in Incompetent Press.
Chevy was trying to play Palin? You're right, that was awful! :~D
Marcie: [quote]That's just it, Ted. There's so much more to school than learning to multiply. I am a big relationship person when it comes to teaching. The teachers I remember the most are the ones who took the time to share a little bit of themselves with me. I think that's so important. You have to give in order to get. I guess that's what I'm trying to say: I feel like I give nearly all I have to give at school, and I feel like my students deserve that. How could I teach, and come home and
I agree with Brandie, I think teachers often get a "preview" of what parents do or don't do, and it may scare them. I also think that too many parents think that what they do influences their kids so much more than it does. I mean, yes, abusing kids can screw them up, and so can spoiling them... but that is like most extremes. Most parents aren't extreme one way or the other. We spoil them sometimes, do what others might consider "abuse" other times, but for the
Besides, Matt Damon is a hypocrit, when he first went ga ga over Obama, he had less time in government than Palin has... but that didn't bother Matt Damon at all. Oh, and Also Mooseplow, what front runner has ever picked a running mate for anything other than "political reasons". Your whole accusation is moronic.
[quote]As parated pointed out that 232 years ago our forefathers may not have meant the president to be a "leader" and just meant him to be an "administrator"([/quote] Administrators coordinate the leaders under them. The guy running the hospital (for instance) isn't usually a doctor, pharmacist, nurse, tech, maintenance worker, janitor, volunteer worker, food service manager, or social services coordinator... the administrator doesn't have to be any of these things. <
What you are going through probably isn't as dramatic as PTSD, but it is depression. It's not from having been through something traumatic, it's more about going through a situation that kept your senses tight (whether you felt like they were or not), and now it's back to the "real world" where the only thing happening is, boring ol' "real life". The problem is, part of your psyche is still "over there" while your reality is all hear. It also happened when you went fr
I'd rather be saying McCain/Palin... or even Bob Barr (LP), but I'm already on record with my prediction, but I'm already on record with Obama/Biden winning by only 6 EC Votes.
Well, if Obama feared being upstaged by a running mate, he certainly picked the right one. :~D
In my life, it is when I don't wonder that I have strayed the furthest. The fact you are asking yourself the question in the first place means you have a good relationship with God.
[quote]I have the greatest respect for American business which is in a way miraculous the way it efficiently supplies citizens with abundance, yet I also marvel over American labor who are an integral partner in the supply and demand of the nation.

[quote]Believe me, I am thoroughly over it; I simply used it in the context of non-constructionist court decisionmaking. [/quote] Actually, if they were to stick to the Constitution, they never would have taken the case in the first place. Since they did, they made the right choice in backing what the state Supreme Court decided. Our elections are state fuctions, not federal. Shame on the lack of competence of the Justices who abused their authority to get a se
I wonder what percentage of each candidates' supporters feel that the US Constitution is outdated and shouldn't matter in any decisions?
[quote]Yeah, right l ike deciding the presidency in 2000. [e digicons]:cylon:[/e] [/quote] Yeah, it's too bad that Gore was too childish to accept a loss and brought the courts into it, isnt' it. It's also too bad for Gore that the court ruled that you can't change the rules midstream just because you don't like the outcome. Gore lost, get over it already.
Maybe the campaign chose Charlie Gibson because they knew he'd make a fool of himself?

If it wasn't for scabs, Milwaukee would be in a garbage disaster right now because the biggest garbage collection company's workers are on strike. Thank goodness for scabs!

Yeah, I had to take a picture of it myself, in case it never happens again. ;~D
I can't imagine why they let Charlie Gibson have the honors either. I want someone who will ask the tough questions, not someone who will do nothing but make accusations that end with a question mark. That's as useless as the fawning.
[quote]Not at all, I have a better understanding of this now. Thanks to you guys and gals.[/quote] It was a fun discussion.
