YASNY

A few minutes ago, I went out to grab a bite to eat. My radio was preset at a station that was carrying Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. His guest was a prophetic priest, Father Andrew Wingate. They were talking about the Pope, but I didn't listen long enough to pick up the point of the conversation, so I went to the shows website to see what they had been talking about. I just thought I'd put this out here. In case the Pope does recover, this would be quite extraordinary.

Konerko lead the league in Runs scored. Speed kills!

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Apr 1, 2005 -> 12:17 PM) Totally agree I hear all of this Prior and Wood stuff and can't help thinking this team had the WC Lead with 15 play and a schedule that involved @ NYM, Cincinnati at home and Pittsburg. It is a simple fact that Houston wanted it more than the Cubs They didn't want to choke in the playoffs again, so .....

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Apr 1, 2005 -> 10:28 AM) yeah, at least one of my favorite websites would never waste my time with doing an April Fools joke, at least somethings are sacred Touche'

Three teams, possibly four, within a week. That's what you call a journeyman infielder.

QUOTE(trexer @ Apr 1, 2005 -> 11:05 PM) The thing with Jimmy the Greek was that he was drunk when he made those comments and he was largely right anyways. He was a victim of political correctness. Yes, he was correct. But Dusty Baker or Barry Bonds can speak in a similar vein, and no one calls them out on it.

Whoever updated the thread title ... Thank you.

Vatican sources are saying the his brain and heart are still functioning. Someone has jumped the gun, apparently.

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 1, 2005 -> 12:38 PM) I think you took that the wrong way. Indeed.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 1, 2005 -> 12:35 PM) Ah yes, get me on the technicality. No reason to split hairs. Born and raised a Chicago Catholic. My faith is not to be questioned. No intentions on my part to split hairs. I just wanted to communicate my respect for JPII.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 1, 2005 -> 12:29 PM) Here's the deal...

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 1, 2005 -> 12:32 PM) He was the only Pope of my lifetime. Here's an excellent link for those of you interested in the selection of the new Pope and the process thereof. http://www.catholic-pages.com/pope/election.asp We lost a good one today. His work here has ended. Addison, no idsrespect intended but ... we lost a great one.

I'm not a catholic. But Pope John Paul II was a man of inspiration and dignity. He was a man to be admired. Bells tolling at St. Peters as I type.

The Vatican has not made an announcement. The news is being reported by Italian press.

Reports are saying that the Pope has passed on. RIP Holy Father.

That's great news. I hope you all have a great day and a lopsided Sox win!

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 1, 2005 -> 09:06 AM) As will our other 4 starters. So will our opponent's pitchers

This pope is great man ... and a great man of God. The world will miss him.

Interesting story by Kittle. I'm amazed that media didn't jump all over it. Like they did when Jimmy the Greek made his comments ... so on and so forth.

I can see that on this issue you are adamant with your point of view. So be it. However, you seem to think I am arguing with you an this. I'm not. You're level of reaction to this issue is almost to the point that you'd round up vigilantes to go after the vigilantes.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 1, 2005 -> 05:58 AM) YASNY, walk down any town USA and tell me which people are Mexican-Americans, which are resident aliens, and which are here illegally. Who are you going to report? All of them? You didn't like the wisecrack about incest in the south, how would you feel being "watched" by guys in pickups and handguns because you are from Kentucky and must be an illegal? Actually down here it is the few conservatives who are trying to hardest to make the Mexican-Americans feel welcome. Their toursist dollars, their business investments, all are important, actually critical components to our local economies. When the American Nazi Party wanted to march in Skokie, reasonable people understood why they were doing it. Free Speech does not give you the right to harass people. The right to assembly is not absolute, anytime anyplace for any reason. No LOITERING. Most of these guys are not the local PTA, neighborhood watch group. There are two ways to look at things, Texsox. You, my friend, are only seeing it from one side. There has to be a balance struck here. That's all I was trying to say.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 08:09 PM) i did read that and he still said the comment at the end that wasnt needed, and none the less how you you blame Wood on this he said im done with that crap no more comments. Because he's a CUB! :headshake

To begin with, this group is unfairly being misrepresented by calling them vigilantes. These people have not done anything to earn that label. Now, since everyone seems to be so concerned about rights ... let's see what rights have not been considered here. The right of free speech.... The right to bear arms ..... The right of assembly. The Minutemen want to call attention to what they perceive as a problem, the say way someone may protest a nativity scene on a town square. The Minutemen have the right to legally carry firearms. They are exercising that right and that has the liberals all in a tizzy. They also are exercizing their right to assemble. The liberals don't like that either, but you don't see the damn ACLU standing up for the Minutemen. Ironic, but the men who were the original minutemen exercized all these rights against a power who would deny them. Those men are considered heroes of the American Revolution while these are labeled vigilantes.

Let's look at what would be said under a different scenario .... like Saddam just nuked Tele Viv. "Even though there very little hard evidence collected, at the first inkling of the possiblilty something should have been done. Saddam Hussein has already shown the capability to both use WMD's and to target Isreal with missiles."
