Gov. Sarah Palin, McCain's running mate. Now here's a reason to vote Republican. She is young, vibrant, a mother of 5, supports domestic drilling but has stood up to the oil industry, she's a straight shooter all the way. She's not a enviro-wacko, but she is very pro-conservation. 80-90% approval rating in among Alask
[quote]If you give a rich man a million dollars how much of it do you seriously think will make its way to the bottom people? I work at a huge world wide company and I can tell you to a tee every person of management will do whatever it takes to lie there way to success and fill their pocket books usually through bonus' for good looking "numbers". I have caught them time and time again, and have won grievance after grievance. Those are the facts. And guess what Even though I win the grievance
[quote]Percentage wise you are wrong my friend and that is what counts[/quote] Why is "percentage wise" what counts?
[quote]Fine with me. Except I object to your choice of division. Probably the fairest division would be the red state, blue state map based on the outcome of the 2008 election but I'm afraid that will leave the Red States of America very puny indeed.[/quote] Better yet, let's use the same election, but broken down by county instead of state... that better represents the separation. ;~D
Daiwa: Sorry I misunderstood what you meant, and your position. [quote]From a Constitutional perspective, it doesn't really matter whether you believe life begins at the moment of conception (as I do, BTW) or not. You still have the conundrum of having to make a moral/ethical decision about which individual's (fetus's or mother's) 'unalienable' rights are 'alienable' after all. I happen to agree that there is no part of the Constitution that can be used to 'justify'
Daiwa: I have a couple of arguments against your comment above. First of all, the preamble of the US Constitution is anyone should have to read to be against abortion on demand. [quote]We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility , provide for the common defence , promote th
What would FDR do? He'd start a lot of expensive and ulitimately wasteful "work" programs that propagandists would later claim "saved the country". He would get the US into a war where thousands of troops die in a single battle.. with many many battles. He would begin a change among Americans from charity is an embarrassment to a feeling of entitlement that would later weaken us as a nation and as individuals. Well, that's what he DID do, s
It's simple, people who are anti gun rights would rather see this woman dead or in prison than have her parents survive that attack because she was prepared to defend them. Thanks for this reminder KFC
ROFL, Elvee gets my vote!
There have been staunch pro abortion Catholics all along. The real question isn't whether or not Catholics support them as much as why does the Catholic church continue supporting them? Catholics have been excommunicated for much less... why doesn't the Catholic church excommunicate these politicians?
My Fellow Democrats, This is the Guy Who Isn't Beating McCain!" ;~D
ParaTed: [quote]I look back and realize that we all went through something as a result of her decisions. The parents/siblings, the boyfriend, her friends, his friends, and her. Each of us were put in a position we weren't ready for. Each of us turned to what we thought was the most "appropriate" response. I find it absurd that anyone should consider the friends of a pregnant teen "put in a position they weren't ready for", as if t
We tried this already, it resulted in such humane and groovy things like "The Dredd Scott Decision", The 3/5 Comprimise, the Missouri Comprimise, and a little even in our nation's history that Southerners call "The War of Nothern Aggression". Fortunately some of our nation's history has been remembered well enough that we should see no reason to doom ourselves to repeating it. Besides, the left has already laid claim to the Left Coast and the New England states on
When I was 15, one of my best friends (kind of a Kevin Arnold/Winnie Cooper type friendship) got pregnant. Her boyfriend was older than her, and totally supportive. They decided to get married. I remember being mad at their parents for how they handled it all. To their parents it was all about the embarrassment, disappointment... all about them. To her friends (who she quickly learned were her real friends and who were just people at the same parties),
First of all, to all of you who complain that Obama was "selected not elected" might I remind you, the only purpose for a primary election is for each party to "select" their nominee. The party leadership get to set the rules for that selection because, well, the nominee is the party's candidate, not the nation's candidate. Too many people seem to think that the primaries are there to decide who gets to run for the office of president. They aren't. If you want more s
[quote]St.Paul tells us that while we have different talents and gifts, we are supposed to have the same theological basis of Christian unity...that is according to Eph. 4:4-5, "one body, one Spirit, one Lord, one Baptism, one faith, one God and Father of us all" Verses 13 and 14 that follow describe what happens when there is no unity...that we are indeed tossed to and fro with every wind.[/quote] Exactly, which is why it won't happen until Christ Himself comes back and straig
[quote]No one knows for sure if Jesus is the son of G-d for SURE! Stop saying he is![/quote] For the good or the bad of it, this is one request a Christian can't agree to. Not only are we charged to "let our light so shine", which means live as an example to others, but we are also charged with feeding His sheep... which we know means, preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. [quote]Having said this, I agree with your take on the confusion of Christianity. Can you imagin
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, and sorry for completely missing it back in Feb of 2007... Questions like this are from one person to anohter. Usually (it seems) by someone challenging someone else's belief in God, but also by people who sincerely wonder why or how "a loving God" can be how we believe him to be. In either case, the answer can only be a matter of the answerer's own set of beliefs. The asker can argue the points made in the answer all they wa
Basmas: [quote]Sorry I'm a little confused. If the supreme court has said abortion is a right why isn;t it?[/quote] The Supreme Court said that Slavery was ok... so by your own logic, are you saying we should still practice it? [quote]If every court it has been tested in says that she has a right to be taken to have an abortion why isn't it a right?[/quote] What other rights have they ordered anyone transported to be exercised? None. It was about abortion, not right
Boudica: [quote]Why do they have no authority? Because you don't agree with them? This went on to the appeals court and was upheld. Did they also not have the authority? Who does have the authority? The sheriff? Congress? The President? The Supreme Court? [/quote] Their authority is to interpret the laws as they are written, not make things up as they go. If they go beyond that authority, they are breaking their oaths of office and the law. The fact that no one seems to care does not
The whole abortion debate is no different than the slavery debate in the 19th century. Both are based on denying that someone else is not really human. The fetus inside a human mother fits every biological definition of life and of being a human being, just like Africans do. The Dredd Scott Decision and Roe Vs Wade are both examples of judicial activism that Unconstitutionally denied inalienable human rights to people simply based on what they look like. Roe Vs. Wade was just as unconstituit

Boudica: [quote]Fine - it's elective but still a right.[/quote] LOL You agree that is it not medically necessary, yet you refuse to acknowledge that it means Arpaio isn't required to provide transportation. The fact is NO ONE has the right to transportation for an elective medical procedure. Not even ambulances are required to transport patients for elective medical care. Abortion (sadly) is a right in the US. It was made a right when activist justices refused to do their j
[quote]ParaTed: A fetus doesn't breathe air. They take their first breath after their birth. Let's not play word games.[/quote] I'm not playing word games, I'm using the meanings of words to make a point. Fetus' do take in gasses and expell them, that is a fact. I already said that they don't use their lungs to do it, but the metabolic function still occurs. The fact that they have a metabolism at all proves they are alive. Something that is a scientific fact, but
