Reply to Judge allows religious theme (in school even) in Politics JoeUser Forums

The fact that you guys think that anyone against you slathering your Chrisianity all over public places is trying to deny you your religion is hokum and hyperbole. Homosexuality is not a religion, and to compare it with one is ridiculous. Nor, do I begrudge Christians. What I begrudge is your insistence that trying to separate church and state is denying you your rights is so un-american, so unconstitutional, so full of crap that it boggles my mind.

Reply to Judge allows religious theme (in school even) in Politics JoeUser Forums

For the life of me, I don't understand why Christians have to shove their christianity down the throats of everyone else. I am not christian, and I don't appreciate being subjected to this onslaught of christian imagery. If you're so religious, then why must you proclaim it in everyone's faces all the time. Why can't you just quietly pray, and affirm your christianity in private. I'm not trying to take christianity away from anyone. I don't begrud

When I was on the board of Directors of our local ACLU, we used to go through donors lists to try and discern who donated when, how much, and would they likely donate again. We were always scrounging for money just to keep the office functioning, not to mention field the whole array of calls from people who needed legal advice. It never seemed dishonest or contrary to ACLU's charter, nor did we divulge donor lists to anyone else. I don't know what's

Here's the deal: The user database is shared by several websites as you noted. A big one is WinCustomize.com. It was relaunched this week and it, combined with JU's increasing popularity are dragging down that particular database. Which makes everything very slow. We're scrambling to improve perofrmance but it probably won't be

Voting in the USA in Politics JoeUser Forums

Is it any wonder that so many people are demanding recounts and questioning the votes? I don't think that the recounts will overturn the election, but it sure does lead one to believe that Bush stole the election. I dunno. At the very least, I'd absolutely want to see some of these issues addressed and fixed prior to 2006. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is imperative for Christians to actively defend the institution that is the backbone for civilization itself. Notice how marvy thinks the backbone of of civilization is christianity? Notice how he'd like to turn the world into a bunch of fundamentalist christians. Notice how he is a racist, anti-se

Going to keep blaming Clinton after four years? They have nothing else to hang their collective hat on. So, it's gonna be clinton's fault no matter what. I remember reading this book to my kids when they were little, called "The Gorilla Did It" . It's about a kid blaming an imaginary gorilla fo

This idea that Bush lied to get us to invade Iraq is false. He was the victim of bad intelligence. And, you know this because why? The neocon death cult tells you so? Talk about naive...........................

I agree with the Bush policy of a multilateral approach in dealing with North Korea. I may be wrong, but I kind of remember that during the debates, Bush was advocating unilateral approach to engaging North Korea, while Kerry stated that multilateral engagement was the way to go. Did Bush flip-flop, AG

Col GENE, excellent and well articulated article. Obviously, I cannot disagree with anything you've stated. As I've posted over and over again, I cannot understand why this guy was reelected, given his clearly and resoundingly abysmal record.

She's one brave lady. I think it's commendable that she is trying to bring womens issues to light in a society hugely dominated by men. Good for her. I just hope she doesn't get assassinated for her "heresy".

I'm not so sure about the "fair and square" part. But, I do think the bushies did win, but only by the skin of their teeth. Having said that, I completely support the recounts and investigations into alleged voting discrepencies. I sure want to see some of these problems fixed before 2006. MANDATE MY ASS

"I don't know what the facts are but somebody's certainly going to sit down with him and find out what he knows that they may not know, and make sure he knows what they know that he may not know, and that's a good thing." -- Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, referring to the soldier who asked why some military vehicles in use in Iraq have insufficient armor.

CIA operative sues agency in Politics JoeUser Forums

This story was in yesterday's GovExec.com newsletter. It is definitely a story worth following. As we all know, there have been a number of stories and even books written about how the administration cooked the intelligence to go to war. This is just one more page of that story. I find it interesting because quite a few CIA employees have stated the same thing. A

You can intellectualize the question, and the answer to death (oooh, bad choice of words), but it should be intellectualized. It should be addressed. The reporter went above and beyond, so to speak. Rummy was/is a dickhead, and his answer was shameful. Having said all that, which you all already said, I just feel really sorry for those guys over there. How utterly terrifying it must be to have to go out on a dangerous mission in inadequa

I believe that wallowing in collective guilt will not help It's not a question of wallowing in collective guilt. It's about raising conciousness of the illegality of this war, of the horrific toll it's taking on the Iraqi people, and our American economy. We were vocal about Viet Nam. We marched, dem

I agree with whoman. Ever since Clinton won, the republicans initiated a massive campaign against him. Practically his entire presidency, which he conducted very well, except for that ML thing, was not an issue to repubs. They were on the witch hunt from day one. They harrassed anyone who knew him in Arkansas. They harrassed his family. They tried to skewer them, and particlarly Hillary for the White Water deal, in which she actually lost money.
