BINGO
That is exactly what I am saying. If in the past there were only same-sex marriage/same-sex relationships. We as a planet would be extinct. There would be no males or females because none would have been born. We would have canceled each other out. Hence, no people, hence no sperm, hence no egg, hence no artificial insemination.
Bingo!
No matter how many times and how many different ways you say it, many of us are unwilling to listen to unmitigated Republican propaganda, most of which is downright laughable.
You are..bingo..wrong
Nah, he hated the jews because of their wealth and influence and control of the money, whereas the christian germans had nothing and major unemployment. So, he needed a scapegoat for war and he blamed the jews for everything, taking the jobs, the money, controlling the banks. You need to go check out the history books. I truly dont know where you get your information from. Whew. Hitler wanted to get rid of the jews cause they were communist? WOW. That is warped.
Bingo! Desperation.

Bingo. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Bingo! And yet people still believe that...
we have not done any good over there.
Bingo!!! By Jove, I think you've got it.
It never was about the price of gas, it was about **your need to prove me wrong,** ( Kudos for admitting it!!!) when really I was not wrong at all. I am guilty of believing my friend, I never said I bought gas in California, only related what I had heard from someone who does. You are the one who felt the need to research and ferret out sources that stated otherwise.You were the one who could not let this go. People in glass houses....There is a striking similarity between you and some other posters on the right and I suspect the one who is using your name is one of them (or if you are the fake MT, then I am talking to you) and that is, no matter what or where is being discussed, you know people there. Had I said Kansas had high gas prices you would have said you had relatives, friends all over Kansas who stated otherwise and then you would have presented me with a Kansas grid of gas prices. Whatever I say about what I do or where I go, you and some others have definitive proof from some web site somewhere that what I am posting is not true. I was at the VA yesterday with my therapy dogs and I could reiterate what I heard from my group but I won't because it does not happen to fall in line with your sweeping statements about **the military** as if it is just one giant robotic block with one big brain instead of hundreds of thousands of individuals with their own brains, thank you very much. You a)would not believe me, b) would present me with all sorts of **facts** from extreme right-wing web sites, publications that say whatever I said is not true, c) tell me you are not sure I should even be allowed at the VA with my liberal anti-war views which are not at all good for the troops. (Nan told me that a long long time ago).
But I digress. As I said 2 posts ago (twice) you are right. I am wrong. Maybe me saying that for the third time will settle you down and you can move on.
Bingo. Give that girl a prize.
I can no longer say that sm - m and I never agree on anything. I can't handle a 61-cent hike in cigarettes. Just got off the phone with my husband who has been told to book a hotel suite for the duration while I go through withdrawal. I will be taking my last puffs with coffee and the inauguration. My quit date is Tuesday, Jan 20, just as soon as O is sworn in.
Having said that, cigarettes tax has always been the source of funding for SCHIPS and I see no reason for that to change, though you and the other posters have made good points about looking for other sources of unhealthy lifestyle choices OTHER nonsmoking Americans make.
EH is one example of a rabid republican nm
mm
You rabid republicans need to
get over yourselves. You can't have an objective conversation. You have to be the be all and end all to every discussion. So you support McCain....I don't. Big deal. You think the media is biased against your candidate...if there is any bias it probably comes from Fox News, which I wouldn't know...I don't watch them.because they ARE biased and most certainly not in favor of Obama. I've watched them before and they are biased toward any REPUBLICAN. Can this country not get over PARTY.
LIke the quote from Obama's book. You republicans interpreted for him. I personally would not be so presumptious.
Furthermore, I think you can relax as I think you will get what you want. McCain will be in the White House when all is said and done, just wait and see.
You must have overlooked rabid....I believe that is

Fanatical? Rabid?
Please elaborate. Most of the fanatical, rabid posts I see are written by the Obama crowd. Just throw out Bush or Palin's name to see the piranhas come out.
I don't know what rabid hatred feels like.
Would you please describe it to me?
I can just hear the rabid right trashing it now.
LoL.
What is going to happen to these rabid republicans
Will their anger fade away?
Will they accept an Obama presidency?
Will they work constructively to make our country better?
Will they undermine the progress to make themselves look better?
Will they become domestic terrorists?
I call them rabid Republicans s/m
I'm sure some of the Republican posters are nice people and sincere in their beliefs. The "I'm keeping tally" person seems to have a real problem. She sees every poster that doesn't agree with her as "nasty." Well, calling people O lover, ignorant, stupid and the list goes on is pretty nasty but the only thing she/he sees as nasty is if someone happens to not support her beloved John McCain/Sarah Palin. I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican but I can reason for myself. I respect the right of everyone to have a different opinion than mine. I do hope the election is not decided by such narrow-minded people as post on this board!
Guess some of us must be indepedents must be rabid as well.
Better get my shots...LOL
The repubs were rabid right before the election and sm
I decided to leave until I could come back and rub it in. Here I am to all those who had their fake "poll" saying McCain would win... I am laughing so hard and you know.. he who laughs last, laughs best. WE WON WE WON WE WON... you were WRONG. Obama DID WIN.
And you lap up Bush juice like a rabid dog.....nm

"Fanatical and rabid" - oh, you mean like Janeane
Give us all a break, willya?
seems like rabid democrat common sense to me.....
Probably silent on this because it was an idiotic, rabid dem post
Rabid rants will not support your argument.
with anything. Rememer the burden of proof thingy in the courts? Why do you think Berg the Boob is suing on grounds of "standing" and alleged "harm"...claims that thus far have been laughed out of court?
YIPES the rabid cons are taking over..Run for your lives
Liberals..YIPES..run for your life..this board has been taken over by rabid conservatives..I decided the other day not to read the posts from the conservatives who have the nerve to come over here and start trouble..Their posts are like fungus, they just keep multiplying.
You weaken your own rabid republican cause with your immature posts as above nm
nm
and I'd like to keep my religious freedom sm
without having to answer to the Christian right. If they had their way, we'd all be wearing babuskas and having a kid or two every year, paying homage to them at a tithe of 10% and having to hate all other religious ideologies.
If Coulter is so religious...
...why doesn't anyone know her at the church she says she attends?
No, not a religious board.
I'm referring to posts on the conservative political board under the post about Michelle Malkin.
What is a religious wacko?
Someone who believes that a fetus is a human being? Your label "religious wacko" is very disrespectful and unkind. I am pro-life and I am not mentally unstable.
Like it or not, the fight to protect the unborn will NEVER EVER stop.
A religious wacko is...
Someone who does not understand the separation between church and state, that freedom of relgion also means freedom FROM religion, sees nothing wrong with imposing/ legislating their own religious beliefs and values on everyone else, goes bannas whenever anybody disagrees with them, and would just as soon replace our democratic system with Christian theocracy.
Can we say religious whacko.....

I am not even religious. I like Palin because she is

Religious Right has already messed up too much in this
and the rest of the misguided 'faithful' to step out of the picture so that our leaders can actually do their jobs, without all the holy rollers tripping them up.
Religious freedom.

You don't have to be religious to be hated by
xx
This was not a religious post, but..(sm)
since you mentioned it, it is actually possible to have hope without God. Athiests represent only a small portion of the general public as well as Obama supporters. Your post assumes that everyone who supports Obama must be athiest. You might want to revise that one. LOL.
Religious Right and Gay Marriage
Gay marriage is an important issue for the religious right.
What exactly do they want a president to do about it?
Take this to the religious board
Many of us do not believe that. Many on the religious board do not believe that, but this is a religious statment. Show me the proof of what you just said.
Religious hierarchy...
I wonder what they call the homosexual henchmen who try to browbeat everyone who doesn't love and accept their behavior?
I am not even religious. Take your useless
nm
Sorry you have no religious beliefs....... that is sad!

Do you actually believe only religious people think

Many religious people are pro-choice.

I SAID most religious people...I did NOT say most Christians.
You guys don't rule the world, ya know. Just your little corner...just your own lives, not everyone else's.
Religious Protest from the Left
A Religious Protest Largely From the Left
Conservative Christians Say Fighting Cuts in Poverty Programs Is Not a Priority
By Jonathan Weisman and Alan Cooperman
Washington Post Staff Writers
Wednesday, December 14, 2005; A08
When hundreds of religious activists try to get arrested today to protest cutting programs for the poor, prominent conservatives such as James Dobson, Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell will not be among them.
That is a great relief to Republican leaders, who have dismissed the burgeoning protests as the work of liberals. But it raises the question: Why in recent years have conservative Christians asserted their influence on efforts to relieve Third World debt, AIDS in Africa, strife in Sudan and international sex trafficking -- but remained on the sidelines while liberal Christians protest domestic spending cuts?
Conservative Christian groups such as Focus on the Family say it is a matter of priorities, and their priorities are abortion, same-sex marriage and seating judges who will back their position against those practices.
It's not a question of the poor not being important or that meeting their needs is not important, said Paul Hetrick, a spokesman for Focus on the Family, Dobson's influential, Colorado-based Christian organization. But whether or not a baby is killed in the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy, that is less important than help for the poor? We would respectfully disagree with that.
Jim Wallis, editor of the liberal Christian journal Sojourners and an organizer of today's protest, was not buying it. Such conservative religious leaders have agreed to support cutting food stamps for poor people if Republicans support them on judicial nominees, he said. They are trading the lives of poor people for their agenda. They're being, and this is the worst insult, unbiblical.
At issue is a House-passed budget-cutting measure that would save $50 billion over five years by trimming food stamp rolls, imposing new fees on Medicaid recipients, squeezing student lenders, cutting child-support enforcement funds and paring agriculture programs. House negotiators are trying to reach accord with senators who passed a more modest $35 billion bill that largely spares programs for the poor.
At the same time, House and Senate negotiators are hashing out their differences on a tax-cutting measure that is likely to include an extension of cuts in the tax rate on dividends and capital gains.
To mainline Protestant groups and some evangelical activists, the twin measures are an affront, especially during the Christmas season. Leaders of five denominations -- the United Methodist Church, Episcopal Church, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Presbyterian Church USA and United Church of Christ -- issued a joint statement last week calling on Congress to go back to the drawing board and come up with a budget that brings good news to the poor.
Around 300 religious activists have vowed to kneel in prayer this morning at the Cannon House Office Building and remain there until they are arrested. Wallis said that as they are led off, they will chant a phrase from Isaiah: Woe to you legislators of infamous laws . . . who refuse justice to the unfortunate, who cheat the poor among my people of their rights, who make widows their prey and rob the orphan.
To GOP leaders and their supporters in the Christian community, it is not that simple. Acting House Majority Leader Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said yesterday that the activists' position is not intellectually right.
The right tax policy, such as keeping tax rates low on business investment, grows the economy, increases federal revenue -- and increased federal revenue makes it easier for us to pursue policies that we all can agree have social benefit, he said.
Dobson also has praised what he calls pro-family tax cuts. And Janice Crouse, a senior fellow at the Christian group Concerned Women for America, said religious conservatives know that the government is not really capable of love.
You look to the government for justice, and you look to the church and individuals for mercy. I think Hurricane Katrina is a good example of that. FEMA just failed, and the church and the Salvation Army and corporations stepped in and met the need, she said.
Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council, said the government's role should be to encourage charitable giving, perhaps through tax cuts.
There is a [biblical] mandate to take care of the poor. There is no dispute of that fact, he said. But it does not say government should do it. That's a shifting of responsibility.
The Family Research Council is involved in efforts to stop the bloodshed in the Darfur region of Sudan as well as sex trafficking and slavery abroad. But Perkins said those issues are far different from the budget cuts now under protest. The difference there is enforcing laws to keep people from being enslaved, to be sold as sex slaves, he said. We're talking here about massive welfare programs.
The Rev. Richard Cizik, a vice president of the National Association of Evangelicals, returned yesterday from the Montreal conference on global climate change, another issue of interest to evangelicals. Frankly, I don't hear a lot of conversation among evangelicals about budget cuts in anti-poverty programs, he said. What I hear our people asking is, why are we spending $231 million on a bridge to nowhere in Alaska and can't find $50 million for African Union forces to stop genocide in Darfur?

We certainly wouldn't want a president whose religious
Or impact how they view society or race relations or even science. We surely would not want religious beliefs to impact political decisions on any level, including voters.
Religious people go to church
Religious people who go to work check their religion at the door. The constitution specifically instructs Congress to do the same. "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." This means keep religion out of federal legislative codes. Implied therein is the concept that the nation is not theocratic in nature.
The original poster is well understood in the expressed wish that this not be forgotten and remain unchanged. It is difficult to understand what is meant by the statement that religion will be in the White House under any leadership. Clearly, religious people, some to a greater degree than others, will inhabit the White House and the chambers of Congress. However, religion is constitutionally prohibited from entering the body of our laws and does not provide a foundation for our governmental institutions. The constitution has given indivuals immunity from federally mandates on religion. Wise men of great vision, our forefathers.
Are you saying only religious people are pro life?
If so, you are wrong.
It's only a "political" issue to religious
