[quote]Sure, but an opinion without covering all the bases, tends to give credence to false assumptions. Do you or do you not agree with Nugent and his comments?[/quote] Well I don't follow Nugent's every word (did see him in concert about three years ago, loved his PETA comments), but I know he speaks his mind without the PC BS and that I can appreciate. I like some of his songs (what person that enjoys R & R, would not like the guitar solo in "Strangle Hold"). I'm not bothe

[quote]Would you just as willingly and eagerly point out the hypocrisy on your ideological side?[/quote] Do I know you? What is "my side" exactly? But of course how would you know, since I haven't seen you before tonight. Nothing political was mentioned in my first comment. George Bush was the devil.... there does that make you happy? You seem to make a lot of assumptions on was said or not said about left and right. However did we get by without moderation such as yours? I
[quote]I do find it ironic though. Politics has devolved into a game of finger pointing and deflection of any sort of responsibility or blame. It's always, always, "Don't look at my sides flaws, look at his!"[/quote] As long as the OP and yourself are in agreement that is.

[quote]You realize you both are doing the same exact thing you are accusing him. You're pointing fingers, and, quite clearly, saying "So what? You guys do it."[/quote] No just that the hypocrisy exists. If one is to speak out against, well anything, one must ask themselves what is their motivation for doing such. If the answer is to disparage someone you disagree with on other issues, then why not address those issues. If it is to address a specific wrong, then it is probably not a go
About the only thing I like Wiki for is the reference sources, I will use it movies and such, if I want to know more on trivial matters. I was busy when Hannity was on, but I caught snippets and it seemed quite well put together. It follows the money trail. I would recommend it to everyone that believes their money on "green" products is really helping, then make up their mind for themselves.
Another rant.... how quickly we forget (or chose to ignore) quickly statements like those from Jeezy and Jay-Z, at an inauguration ball none the less: "The rappers shouted from the stage things like F*** Bush, praising the one who threw shoes at him and those who moved him out of the White house. Surprisingly, Jay-Z joined in the elation that his President was a black man, a N*****. Both men repeatedly used the term." But I'm sure Dan posted his article in strict se
Hey DG, you would have got a kick out of Hannity tonight. He had a special about the "green scam". Much of it was on global warming.
Great review...bad place for it. If you want more gamers to read it, you should post it on the games forums, not the political forum. I'd hate to see your work, which I thought was an enjoyable read, be missed.

It's good to hear a story about a teacher doing a great job. I had some great teachers in my early years. I also had some of those hippy types, later on toward the end, but I was too set in my ways for them to have any influence on my direction. I feel sorry for the kids that have to sit threw the "preach" and get too little of the "teach". The best teachers always will be the ones that show the doors, but let the student choose their own to open.
[quote]Well what do you want Nitro? They're hayseeds. Why else would they stick to the fervent beliefs in a 2000 year old irrational belief system? [/quote] Ever talk to a farmer Dan? You put a broad label on a large group. Especially many that produce your food supply. Just curious was that group of Muslims that Obama spoke to last week just a bunch of hayseeds (or date seeds) as well? After all they stick to "their fervent belief" in Allah. Is that an old irrational belief syst
Just because he made a movie about the environment (Avatar), doesn't make him an expert. I know this guy has an opinion, and he's welcome to it, but just because he is famous doesn't give him a "credibility" pass. BTW Just how much diesel did he burn up in the Atlantic, filming the Titanic, to put some coin in his pocket?

[quote]learned nothing.[/quote] I understand what your saying DG, one just has to read to do that. However my comment, you quoted, above was strictly for Lula's consumption and secondly anyone so inclined to read it and understand it was for Lula (I believe you fall into this category) as an observation from my point of view. Anyone offended can, well just be offended, as I didn't call anyone out by name, and certainly provided no content that isn't visible on this thread av
[quote] My judgement here is not based on my love of Christians (as yours is based on a hatred of them), it's based on the fact that when a Christian commits a murder he does so against his religion, and when a Muslim living by Sharia commits an "honor killing," he does so according to his religion.[/quote] Humbordt... there is no place for rationality for some.

Lula, WOW, I've never Previously read comments on a JU article that refereed so much to a blogger that wasn't even actively making comments in the particular thread! Congratulations! You must have gotten under someones skin so badly, that you occupy their thoughts enough for an" honorable mention" in their writings. You are making an impact, it doesn't matter if they believe it's good or bad, as they care enough to mention you by name. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] [quote]

[quote]Furthermore, how do you determine the 'expression of the public will' in setting the price of a dozen eggs?[/quote] Let me go a bit further. Seems the majority people don't want Obama care. The majority want something done about illegal immigration. Isn't that the will of the people? Yet the US communist party, which is striving for increased socialism in the US support illegals and government health care. I'd be interested to know if the OP acknowledges this "public will".
