That popular conservative myth comes right after the "Liberals have horns and are the tools of Satan and the Pope" and right before the "Conservatives are Fiscally Responsible" chapters in the Republican Party playbook, but is no more true than either of those. |

Yes. Have you ever heard of a CIA operative being prosecuted for this stuff? Prosecutorial discretion is not a bad thing.

I never heard of a private takings case before Kelo. Didn't stop it from happening. |

So how exactly did the NYT embarrass itself with the NIE piece?

I'm not going to waste my time and cut into happy hour to link to over a hundred links because you're a lazy fuck.
Go to Instapundit, Malkin, Corner, Powerlineblog or WSJonline. |

the leading newspaper of the country isn't supposed to twist to justify its stories like Wonk or Ty trying to win a bet. The NYT should at least give the appearence of not being out just to do a hatch job on the Rs.
OAN did I hear right that the stock market hit an all time high today? is this bubble based like Clinton's?

What martyrs? Were they spilling blood for God, or for the advancement of their faith?

As for your second point, in Utah they tithe.
|
I meant the Churches are tax-free, not the adherents. Or are you saying that the LDS pays 10% to the State of Utah?

I don't exactly see how this refutes my point.

I think it's happened once or twice before. It's nice to see it happen every so often, don't you think?

No, apparently twisting to weasel out of a bet is a Republican trait, however.

this may all be moot soon. RT is mulling over an offer for a bit more than $160. you'll know if she accepts when all the lefty posts that score points are suddenly deleted.....well all yours will still be up, so you might not notice.
