    Don't overlook:

    Rep. Paul Kanjorski's hypocrisy

    Mark Penn's Strategy

    Bernie Sander's Fundraising

    Still - excellent work.

    I was very young - but as I recall, the left was very happy to paint Barry Goldwater as a loon who'd bring on nuclear Armageddon.

    I suppose our childhood perceptions are based on our parent's ideology. My father is conservative and often spoke badly of the left.

    Speaking there of the candidates - most people are more sane.

    Well, I was less than a year old in '64 - but it happened. My parents were mostly apolitical except for one governor's race and in those days MS was wall-to-wall Democrat.

    really? How often have I been called a communist? or told I live in a fantasy world? And it's just because I have a different point of view.

    People call you stupid much more often than they tell you you live in a fantasy world.

    The reason isn't because you have a different point of view. It is because we all think you're stupid, at least here.

    To recap a post I made in another thread you pulled this off in:
    1. You won't back up arguments.
    2. You demand other people back up arguments - which you yourself will not.
    3. You refuse to admit when you're wrong.
    4. You run away when proven wrong and act like it never happened.

    It's not that you're a communist or unrealistic, you're just dumb.

    The Bronze Age Sadists only said that there would be furnace-like heat, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. The modern visions of hell come from medieval artists and writers.

    People call Dayton and Apostle stupid too and they share none of your positions.

    It's a BBS Jen, not the real world.

    That stuff comes from the Iron Age, not the Bronze Age. People always say that. :confuzzle:

    That's not true. We're very tolerant of intelligent, thoughtful liberals. :cylon:

    That, right there, would've been the end of that conversation, had I been in the room, because I'd have kicked Mr. Snuffluphagus in the balls like a mule as soon as he said "but".

    Then I'd have spit on him while he rolled on the ground in pain.

    Dishonest cocksucking weasel. :garamet:

    Here is the fact. Those same people decrying how guns are hurting America and how we need to tone down the vitriol,etc are the same one that would be protesting for Jared's rights right now if they had decided to lock him for being a threat to Americans without a trial, just like the do the terrorists in Gitmo. The liberals want to blame something, blame themselves for defending the rights of these butchering animals and getting them back on the streets.

    Yeah, there's just no pleasing the libs......which is the point, really.
    They are only happy when they (and the world) are miserable.

    Not to get off on a tangent, but imagine a minority getting denied a gun because they are suspected of being insane. Libs would be looting every gun shop to supply him with one.

    It happened because of lack of discipline in the home. They beat his fucking ass and make him work, he ain't got time for all that dreamy shit he came up with on that web sight. They probably encouraged his artistic, blah blah blah.
    Did they make the son of a bitch do an honest days hard physical labor in his life? I bet they paid for his college. The kind of kid that goes to college and gets kicked out is the kind that needs the shit beat out of him by some pissed off parents who paid for that shit. He was an arrogant shit and they let him be one. Just my humble opinion.

    I wouldn't be too sure - I saw their house on the news tonight, and in the driveway was an old pickup truck and a 1970-something Chevy Nova.

    One bright point about all this: The tendency to blame everything on Palin maybe means BDS is finally wearing down.

    Doubtful. 10,000 years and a day from now, humanity will still evoke Bush's name when casting blame.

    "Genefather, the moons of Nibia 3 have exploded. The Smart Ones think it was due to a gravimetric disturbance in the Cross-polarity waves of the gravitron generator."

    "Silence and nonsense Taborichang III. As the ancient tomes say, as has been said since the clouded dawn of time, it was Bush's Fault."

    I heard some interesting stuff on Giffords and how she survived.

    First she was shot in the front of the head right above her eye. (this is what the witnesses said) Not in the back of the head. The bullet didn't go through her brain. It skipped off of it and hit the skull.

    They are saying this plus her being in good health is what is contributing to the fact that she can follow commands and respond and can breath on her own (though they still have her on a respirator to protect her from infection).

    She may have some motor issues but for the most part at this point barring any downturns she's going to make it through this in pretty good shape for a head shot victim.

    She will probably still be able to be a Representative.

    PDS has been around for guite some time now..it began 30min after she was announced for VP for McCain and Lberals accused her of faking her pregnancy with her son and it went down hill from there..now accusing her for murder is just a new low...but PDS is even worse than that it's now leading to it's "Victims" posting Facebook and Twitter pages calling for her death...you wonder how much worse it'll get.
