Btw, a large part of my comment was sarcasm and tongue in cheek. My point: This is just another knee jerk reaction by a Republican trooper, who failed to stop and say "Really, is it a big deal? How about we keep on his policies and actions." Not tar and feather him for his holiday tree. ~AJ
I've a few things to say, and since it is christmas/the winter solstice...I won't just call you a dumbass for spinning this story. Anyways...I'm all for people being propagandist and ignorant, because it follows the line of to each their own, which is a principle I stand by strongly. However, you do realize ID (ironic), that the ornaments on the tree were sent out around the US to be decorated, right? Hmm, they must've been sent to those evil communist - oh I'm sorry, evil Social
[quote]I think the freudian slip on the author is telling. Liberals want the government to make them happy. talk about being unfulfilled, no wonder they are so vitriolic and mean spirited.[/quote] Whereas conservatives like things as they are...the same old shit, subjugation. \s Seriously though Doc, come on. If we acted like you, we'd likely never be where we are in terms of our freedoms. It was conservative (traditional) people who supported things as they were at various po

[quote]You missed my point entirely. The person(s) offering the good intentions almost always feel it is fair and righteous. Not always the same for the people/person on the recieving end. I'm sure if you dig hard enough you can find some examples of where it was a good thing for the reciever (Here's one for you Toy's for Tot's... and a host of other charities), but I can name many more "good intentions" that change vast amounts of peoples lives, and not in a good way. I would rather make my
[quote]I'm sorry's can only go so far. Instead of a strong nation we are now seen as weak and unable to stand up for what we believed in.[/quote] To be blunt charles, and please don't take this personally: Is it "we" believe in? Or is it what you and others like you believe in? Starting false wars? Infringing on liberties? (and so on so forth) Sorry, but that is not what WE believe in. ~A
[quote]Unlikely...Obama needs a win...anything will do, no matter what the country really wants. Right now it is more important to him that he appears he can get something done, and not be ineffectual. Better to act and look decisive, than do nothing. Could be banking on short memories for 2012, but expect a lot of finger pointing next year in 2010. [/quote] Perhaps, I cannot really agree or disagree with your opinion. i am intrigued though, why (according to repub
Btw, I want to apologize for my rudeness, a wise man reminded me tonight that we sometimes forget that there are other people on the otherside of these posts/debates. Seeing the human in a person is of one of my core beliefs, and I fell short of it. ~AJ
Couple things that sounded my bullshit alarm: 1. The base closing could not happen until 2013 at the latest, which would give the next president time to adjust it. Sounds to me like they used a bad barganing chip. 2. An independent commission reviews the list; hence, I find it unlikely that they would agree to closing the base, given it houses the United States Strategic Command. 2. The story is a lie; in fact, it has been refuted by the very man who is supposidly
The same right back at you KFC! [quote]I gave up caring about empty headed liberals. I guess that is anti-christian, but I sleep better at night, [/quote] That's unfortunate; the world really can't stand to lose anymore compassionate people, and I say that regardless of political persuasion. There's no denying that the world has tons and tons of suffering. Personally, I think it is great that we have religious/fai
What do I rate him? Well, honestly I would have to give him two grades, one for Domestic and one for International. Domestic: Given that he's really only focused on one major issue, failed to take any action on DADT/Gay rights, and a few other things I consider important, I would have to give him a C/C-. The biggest few things that could bump my grade for him higher is if he: 1. Gets congress to scrap the current HC bill and get one in that actual
[quote]It is all theatrics now. As long as they get SOME law passed - no matter how bad, they figure it will be easier to then pass what they want, As the American people - even in liberal polls - have said they dont want ANYTHING rght now (until they can make it right) and they are bound and determined to pass SOMETHING, it clearly shows they dont give a damn about their constituents.[/quote] Yes, many americans want health care reform; I also agree, many are not lik
[quote]That's his problem. He does not know anything. He feels a lot, but knows little.[/quote] 1) Like the same feeling that you and other conservatives on here have for your religion, tradition, and so on? 2) Good to see you know what I do Doc; as always, you're the well informed know-it-all we love. \s For the record, I research my opinions and think through them. (I also go with facts, not fairy tales)
[quote]If I had any input on that subject, I promise I'll seek out one of your articles on issues of importance to gays. No need to seek out responses elsewhere. BTW I could care less what you or anyone else to do in private, wear it out if you like, just don't expect me to call it marriage, it doesn't meet my non-religious definition. I sure your thinking is more in line with Vermont's, everyone with a different opinion is ignorant. That's your choice. It is not yet the liberal socialist uto
[quote]Not being religious, and don't hang in those circles so I wouldn't know. So, I only get privilege to see the uninvited homosexuals on my TV whining about why I should support their right to pack each others chutes and call it marriage. So much for good intentions.[/quote] Uninvited...on your TV? Here's a tip: Don't like it? Why not get up off your ass and change the channel, or turn it off? Good grief, what happened to personal responsibility? (No, 'course not, lets p
[quote]Reality is that 'fixing the system' is not what currently proposed legislation is about. Dr. Guy is absolutely correct. It's about gaining a stranglehold, no matter the details. They care about the details only as they relate to getting 60 votes, not as to what they mean to your well-being or mine.[/quote] Like I said Daiwa, in its current form, I would like to see the bill fail. I want real reform, not crap. [quote]What has 'unbalanced' our current system are the unint
[quote]I wonder how many wars started, or people died because of good intentions. I wonder if the Inca's felt humbled by Spain's good intention of finding a new trade route to Asia? Please, just say no to "good intentions", they only benefit the intender.[/quote] I wonder how many religious people squash homosexual people's lives because of good intentions? Oh yeah, many. Like your logic says, say no to good intentions (of the anti-ssm religious). <p
[quote]That may be so, but now the same folks that railed Bush are quiet when Obama does the same things, on a much grander scale. Right and wrong are not interchangeable[/quote] Oh yes they are; as long as there are different religions - right and wrong, fact and truth, are interchangeable and relative. [quote]rty, if one were to listen to the media, WMD's would have been the entire reason for going to war in Iraq, but that is just, if I may us Al Gore's word's
[quote]Dont you mean meh Lewis? Look, dont con me. I have been around and seen enough of your manifestations to know you when I read you. I did not have to read much to see the similarity, so I started digging. Seems strange that your latest manifestation started right when the last one left JU (according to JU), that you write with the same air head ideas (I did not insult you, I merely described you), and new account was created from the same IP address. now you may be lewis Jr,
[quote]I think Obama means well and the Health Insurance Bill will be eventually passed and it will benefir lots of people.[/quote] I would like to see reform of health care because the entire system is become ridiculously unbalanced in favor of the hc companies; however, in the current form I would like to see it fail. In my opinion, they need to go back and start over. Do I think that will happen? Eh, not really. ~AJ
[quote]Hey, I see Lewis is still around. Names changed, but still the empty headed adolescent idiot from many names and years. Why Alderic, lewis? Are you channeling Ted kennedy now?[/quote] 1. Actually it isn't lewis, but thanks for playing. 2. Go figure, an insult...why am I not surprised. Is ironic though, heh. ~A
[quote]Oddly enough while I expected AJ to be one of the first responders I didn't think he would take it this hard. After all, he always denies being a Liberal. Don't you AJ?[/quote] I've been doing some reading and writing and I've come to accept that I am in fact liberal when it comes to the foundations of my beliefs; that said, I have no qualms over reaching across the spectrum and working with others (and I mean real give/take problem solving co
We're all out fighting the evils of conservatism and holding off the No-icans. Oh, I mean republicans. You know, the trollish brutes that we are. Actually, to be honest, I've found more compelling things to do than be harassed by those who have shown that they generally think that liberals are misguided morons, who don't think, don't care, and are the be all and end all of evil under the sun. \s I've had more pressing prior
The last book I read was an interesting piece by Thomas Frank, One Market Under God. ~AJ

[quote]It's not double standard, it's fire with fire. They say 2 wrongs don't make a right but sometimes people need to get burned to learn not to play with fire. People shouldn't get mad when the shoe is on the other foot, that's call hipocrisy.[/quote] It's bullshit; An order of stupid served on a silver platter. Getting caught up in mindless party robotics like what you're doing only adds to the ass talking and partisanship that screws our country over. So, I guess that would mean
