If there was a fastest way to shut you up, I'm sure somebody would have figured it out by now. The fastest way to get you freaks shrieking is to show you a picture of a torn-up 3rd trimester fetus and asking you why this should be legal bug hacking kids up on day 1 should not be. Your entire reasoning is based on the idea that you and others like DTB's friends are a bunch of selfish bastages, and you ascribe these traits to all others. Simply saying it, doesn't make it true. Slave's aunts and uncles and numerous young people from my area stand in absolute contrast to your vapid pontificating, and your blanket statements are proven wrong hundreds of thousands of times every year in this country by Catholics and others.

And you'd change the subject if you knew them (i.e., if you didn't surround yourself with vapid selfish me-first NIMBYers).

I'm betting someone already has pointed this out -- but Mr. Assisi wasn't exactly the first to come up with this.

Bush, and fiscal "credibility."
 

No, no, no. Fiscal discipline is about controlling spending, not about creating new tax loopholes. Reagan taught us that if you keep cutting taxes you will balance the budget.

I think you've just hit on a brilliant solution to the problems of poor neighborhoods, welfare, and poverty in general.

I'm pro-choice, and know many principled people who are not. So, in other words, I agree with you that SD should stop over-simplifying and stereotyping.

On the other hand, pot, kettle. Your view that Repubs would all gleefully move into the ghetto while Dems are all millionaires living in gated communities is beyond tiresome.

Okay, you want a simple and principled answer on the abortion/gay marriage issues (there are two issues, by the way)? How about this: no legislature has any business regulating the familial relations of citizens in a free and democratic society unless it can demonstrate a compelling overriding public health interest.

I realize that actually having to deal with me as an individual disrupts your favored approach of addressing cliches instead of actual beliefs or positions, but there it is,

I'll buy this completely, but don't see how it speaks to abortion at all.

Or, when your kids get tired of your med bills and act on that, is it just a "familial" issue?

I read the article, too, Bilmore, and to be fair you should have noted that the quotes from the Kerry people (to the question of why they are voting for Kerry) are more along the lines of "it's 50-50 -- I like him and he's the Not Bush."

You're right that the Bush voters from that article are for unambiguously for Bush, though. Dred Scott, indeed.

Flip-flopper.

Last time we went drinking you agreed with me that the gov't should use our tax dollars to buy us hookers and coke.

...but do you read the re lines? do you, bilmore, do you?
 

Ah, Bilmore, we hardly knew ye.

this test would apply equally to the guy with the cross bow as it does to abortion, wouldn't it?

I'm Pleased
 

I thought we were talking about bilmore's tax dollars.

If you, in sunny new and rich Northern California, have no idea what I'm talking about, you could just say so. It might make you seem a little dense after its been clarified sequentially upon request for numerous posters, but I can't imagine one interpretation at any level beyond -afterbirth- on an Iowa Test that would read my words as meaning what you've said above.

Just to clear this up (again):
Get rid of any federal subsidies that create ghettoes by concentrating poverty. No ghetto, no ghetto to move into.
And many Dems aren't millionaires living in gated communities. You certainly don't want me to list their other constituencies.

The fact that so many greedy liberal lawyers can read what I write and still not have the first clue what I've said is evidence to me of the lengths people will go to not know what is happening in this nation. In your defense, I appreciate that you at least do not pretend to know. Its just sad to me that its so distant that you and others would constantly misinterpret it.


Hello

Bush, and fiscal "credibility."
 

FWIW, I did, in fact, stick a Bic pen in my RNC return envelope, with a note stating that my contribution will be forthcoming once the President picks it up and vetoes something. Anything.

"Bilmore's taxes"?

Remember that $1000 child tax credit?

(Of course, in fairness, the more kids you have, the more you really need the hookers and coke, so maybe it's a wash.)
