Reply to Rush Limbaugh: Open mouth, insert foot. in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Isn't it amusing how many different meanings Rush Limbaugh manages to put into things...he must be a much deeper individual than, oh i don't know, Dick Durbin, who if I recall correctly...couldn't have possibly been taken out of context...if memory serves me correctly, we were calling for Durbin to be put to death, were we not? "Sorry Karen but the last 2 are plain old bs! They have no facts to back up those claims. And as to the first one...

They are simply educating and informaing their members (in a tactic invented by the left, as Baker aptly points out) so that their members can make educated decisions. It's just weird that they're "educating" their members about how bad a certain group of people are, that's all. They should be "educati

You missed my point completely. No, Hussein was not involved directly, but he did break several ceasefire agreements with us, he did spearhead an assassination attempt on a sitting U.S. president, even HE thought he had WMD. All of these are legitimate reasons to go to war with Iraq.Now that we are there engaging the terrorist en

yes Iraq did attack us, shooting at jets in a no fly zone is an act of war. Why were there jets in the no-fly zone? (That's not sarcasm, that was a legitimate question) Aside from that, weighing shooting at planes in a no-fly zone vs. smashing a plane into large buildings on our mainland, I'd h

Damn, a 28 minute speech ruined your entire evening like that? You need to get out more, Phil. I didn't say it ruined my evening, it's just annoying. No one needs it on every channel. It doesn't extend to just presidential speeches. Did everyone need to see the O.J. chase for that entire afternoo

One might ask, why should someone listen to you when you've made up your minda about Bush without having listened to his speech?

As for Iraq and 9/11, why does anyone question the connection anymore? 9/11 was a terrorist attack against the U.S. and the War on Terror is a result of all the anti western attacks agaisnt the U.S., not just 9/11. If you woke up on that fateful day and suddenly discovered that there are Muslim Extremists who want nothing more th

I'm just gonna pop in and mention how no one's said that Ted deserved to get the same tone that he gave. I just want to throw that out there for all of you who jumped on me and told me that I was only getting my own "tone" back when I was attacked. But whatever, he's on the right, just like y'all are, so he's entitled to the protection. Me, I happily go on, fending for myself.

Bush's Speech Annoyed the Hell Out of Me in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Let me go ahead and say, first and foremost, that this article is not about the president's speech last night, because I did not watch the president's speech last night. The title was simply a brilliant little ploy on my part to get you all here. As I write this, however, I can't help but make one little point about the speech, the contents of which I've managed to ga

Link By now, I think we've all heard of the Supreme Court's genius decision that your property isn't actually yours. I believe their next goal is to rewrite the definition of the words "your," "my," and "ours," so that their decision won't leave them as nothing more than a contradiction to the Engl

Your ignorance of the subject at hand is extremely FUNNY! And just an FYI...since it's not your blog the discussion is NOT ended unless Phil says it is. Phil says it is. Phil said it was. Phil's only dropping by every couple of days now to see what you all are doing to his beautiful blog space.

Yes, indeed. Just as you can be a christian socialist. Unlike many European countries, where the socialist tradition has sprung largely from marxist and anti-clerical soil, the socialist movement in Britain has strong christian roots. The Labour Party was largely founded by Non-Conformists (i.e. non-Episcopalian Protestants), whe

Nor should they. One's sexual orientation is completely irrelevant to one's athletic ability. Courage has nothing to do with athletic ability in either of the cases that I mentioned. Courage has to do with overcoming obstacles, which both athletes would face. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" al

You should do a little more research on this "before" you start laying blame. The NRA "had" planned to cancel the convention.

I have not heard of this. Can you give me more information? The NRA held gun rallies in Columbine shortly after the school shootings, as well as in Flint, Michigan after a 6 year old girl was killed by a classmate who had brought a gun to school.
