When I'm searching for music via computer, it's all about USENET for me baby. I'm so old school internet.

It's a stupid stereotype... just like the French and not washing proper... *sniffs underarm* Ummm. nevermind.

Nice piece. I think we've done as good a job as we could do in the offseason. If we lose, it really looks like it'll be injuries and chemistry that would be the X factors.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 11:57 AM) Also the White House is alledging specifically that the Clinton/Gore administration executed warrentless searches. Also they stated that the Clinton's deputy attorney general, Jamie Gorelick had testified that the President did have authority to engage in physical searches without warrents. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/01/17/D8F6GR08O.html Worth the bump. Here's today's AP update on this story. http://www.forbes.com/business/manufacturi.../ap2456266.html

I like my job.

The "morning after" pill prevents conception. It does not impede a conceived embryo from my understanding. It doesn't always work.

So let me see here, wiretapping US Citizens without following the rule of law is OK, because the President authorized military action without the OK of the legislative branch? Further, the Congressional resolution did not authorize war in any means. It authorized military force. There's a huge difference there. Authorizing war makes it a whole different story - but, this is a big but, Congress did no such thing. Without a formal declaration of war, we are not actually at war.

I have my bed and four alarm clocks. I tend to oversleep.

Next time, say it was the new "Nirvana" album. Honestly, sometimes it's ok to lie.

I'm down with this.

You have a great sense of humor.

I'm a rebel.

It's 8% of payroll, not 8% of the bottom line.

And I'm sick and tired of the right co-opting Christianity and implying that people on the left aren't people of faith.

Affordability. You're right it oughta be buisnesses with over 100 employees.

That's funny cause I wasn't. I was talking about a politician making a statement.

Could you maybe point to the words Christian Conservatives in here? Cause I don't see them.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 11:28 PM) ONCE AGAIN!!! Why do people who go to church, believe in God and traditional values have to be whackjobs?! Why?!?! Why?!?!?! Why?!?!?!? I'm sorry, I don't equate Jerry Falwell to most Christians. I don't equate Rick Santorum to most Christians. I don't equate Pat Robertson or any of these extremists to most Christians. But once again, you can't seem to understand that there is more than one kind of Christian. So you are assuming that every Christian follows Pat Robertson. Follows Jerry Falwell. Follows James Dobson. So who's insulting Christians now?

No he compared Religious Extremists to terrorists who happen to be religious extremists. Their goals seem to be similar. Force their worldview on others. He said that Religious Extremists have co-opted the Republican Party. Like Jerry Falwell who blamed 9/11 on gays and feminists. Like Pat Robertson who agreed with him. Like Rick Santorum who equated gay people with people who f*** dogs. Of course, the first party to equate US politicians with Osama Bin Laden would happen to be Saxby Chambliss and the Republicans who did in a TV commercial designed to help defeat a sitting Senator. But that's not what Hackett did. Hackett said that Religious Extremists here are doing the same thing that they're doing there and everywhere. Forcing their worldview on everyone else.

So what are they supposed to do? Just say "how adorable?" Your programs don't get hearings, your ideas get co-opted and then you get attacked for being against them (e.g. Homeland Security Department). You point out flaws in policy and all of a sudden, it's "why are you being so negative." When you get shut out of everything. When the collegiality the minority used to enjoy in the US Congress because of mutual respect between both sides of the aisle suddenly disappears because of how the new majority decides to run the system, the only way you can fight back is attack the wrongs of the new system. It's funny, round these parts, attacks on liberal values seem to be fair game and constructive. Attacks on conservatives hijacking religion for political gain, attacks on Republicans lack of morals and values in their own actions is just being negative. Well excuse me, but if believing in Equal Protection under the law is being negative. Then I'm f***in negative. Paul Hackett believes in it. Anyone that supports a gay marriage amendment clearly doesn't.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 10:28 PM) I notice he cited Pat as his example of a Republican that has hijacked the party. How much farter from the truth can thatbe, when every Republican in the states has been running from him for some time now, disavowed him at every misstep of his, and wants nothing to do with him? He can believe it all he wants, but it is wrong. Does he think that this applies only to Republicans? If so, he is f***ing nuts. Featured Speakers for "Justice Sunday III" The national telecast to get Democrats to confirm Alito. Dr. James Dobson - Focus on the Family Bishop Wellington Boone - Fellowship of the International Churches The Father's House Tony Perkins - Family Research Council Dr. Alveda King - King For America Rev. Herbert Lusk - Greater Exodus Baptist Church Dr. Jerry Falwell - Liberty University Senator Rick Santorum - The Third Ranking Republican in the U.S. Senate Featured Speakers for "Justice Sunday II" "God Save the United States and this Honorable Court (John Roberts nomination)" Tony Perkins, James Dobson, Robert Bork, former House majority leader Tom DeLay, Democrat turncoat and Bush endorser Zell Miller, Chuck Colson, Phyllis Schafly, William A Donohue, Harry R Jackson Jr. Featured Speakers for "Justice Sunday" "The Prayerfest to kill the Filibuster" Featured speakers: James Dobson, Chuck Colson (former Watergate figure turned Evangelist), and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. So maybe it isn't the whole Republican party. Just the leadership.

You're Pat Robertson? *blinks, honestly confused.*

Yeah because, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell (the one who blamed 9/11 on the gays and feminists) James Dobson, Ralph Reed. They all had no role in creating and maintaining the GOP majority in Congress or a Republican Presidency.
