Justice Sunday III.
Rally claiming opponents of right-wing judges are “against people of faith” returns just in time for the Alito hearings. (Relive the memories of the first Justice Sunday.)

So are they inviting Frist or not inviting Frist?
December 3rd, 2005 at 12:33 pmDo they invite people under indictment?
It must be complicated to find conservatives
without “image” problems these days.
Thank goodness the right never concerns
themselves with ethics, even at religious events,
or it would be near impossible.
Man, I like this Statement.
From: im4mary
No matter how ‘noble’ the intention to provide a ’service’ for someone else, it becomes tyranny when that service is forced upon them against their will.

December 3rd, 2005 at 1:15 pmthank you freedom is not free.
December 3rd, 2005 at 1:18 pmThank you all, for all you are doing to end this war, bring our troops home now, take care of them when they get here, and never again let this nation send our troops into an unjustifiable war, a war based on lies.

Frist isn’t under indictment, you ignoramus. ROFL
December 3rd, 2005 at 2:15 pmGee WW #5,
That’s a nice try, but it was a separate
December 3rd, 2005 at 2:21 pmpoint about other conservatives, but I
can see how someone wanting to read it
that way might do so.
I think your team does have a little
corruption problem, don’t you think?
Not yet, wwwwwwwallace. Just bide your time.
Tony Perkins (he may be psycho, but not that “Psycho”) and his crowd are a bunch of liars who claim to be against “activist judges,” but who actually want activist judges — as long as the judges enforce the wackos’ agenda.
December 3rd, 2005 at 2:21 pmWhy liberalism is tyrannical: “No matter how ‘noble’ the intention to provide a ’service’ for someone else, it becomes tyranny when that service is forced upon them against their will.”

December 3rd, 2005 at 2:22 pmOH MY GOD.
In Louisville Kentucky a group of commandos in pink camoflage, sandals, with unshaved armpits armed with guitars, flowers,baskets of fruit, and dildos attacked a nativity scene and took baby Jesus hostage. They headed north, towards the blue-states in a Volvo with a ‘Save the Whales†bumper sticker. BE ON THE LOOKOUT.
Christmas is UNDER ATTACK by the liberals.
A CALL TO ARMS ALL CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS, THIS IS OUR RIECHSTAG MOMENT! CHRISTMAS IS BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY THE GAY SECULAR ARMY OF SATAN. GRAB YOUR SHOTGUN AND YOUR BIBLES AND RALLY THE FAITHFUL. ANNIE GET YOUR GUN. BUBBA, ZIP UP YOUR PANTS AND DROP YOUR STEP-DAUGHTER, THE TIME IS NOW!
-This satire brought to you by the Secular Army for the Separation of Church and State.

No thanks, sounds like a place where
December 3rd, 2005 at 2:35 pmmy computer might catch something nasty.
Liberalism is tyrannical?? That requires liberals to have authority. They would have some power to influence your life if the Republicans didn’t control all three branches of the government plus the media.
The truth is, the religious conservatives are the real tyrants here. They believe we are all a bunch of sinners who need the iron rule of the government to keep us in line because we are too dumb and selfish to contribute to society. They believe the only way we can have a peaceful society is if a small, religious elite controls every aspect of our life, including how and when to think. Of course they also believe the religious elite who should be allowed to control society should themselves be immune from any social responsibility, pay taxes or any of those pesky annoyances that only the poor should have to deal with.
December 3rd, 2005 at 2:43 pm#10 – Laughing my ass off!
#12 – Chewing my nails off.
December 3rd, 2005 at 2:58 pmJohn: “They would have some power to influence your life if the Republicans didn’t control all three branches of the government plus the media.”
Perhaps if you took off your tinfoil hat for a while you’d realize that’s nonsense.
December 3rd, 2005 at 3:01 pm#14:
Which part of that is nonsense?
The only part of my statement that can be debated is the media. However, given the tendency of the major networks (not just Fox News) to repeat almost verbatim whatever the Republicans are saying, and refusal to allow dissent on the air, I still stand by my original statement.
December 3rd, 2005 at 3:05 pmBoth parts were nonsense.
The idea there’s no dissent on the air is completelty nuts. You live in a deranged fantasy world.
December 3rd, 2005 at 3:08 pm#15
John,
Even NPR, the supposedly non-partisan public radio, Keeps using the term “withdrawal” when talking about Rep. John Murtha’s Iraw plan. Rep. Murtha’s plan called for “imediate redeplyoment.” It was Rep. Duncan Hunter’s (R-CA) House Resolution 571 that called for “imediate withdrawal.” Every MSM outlet continues to use “imediate withdrawal” when talking about Rep. Murtha.
That is how you know our media is rigged.
I sent NPR an e-mail with the definitions of “redeployment” and withdrawal” I told them to use the thesaurous in Microsoft Word to check and see if the words are synonyms, which they aren’t.
I haven’t heard anything back.
December 3rd, 2005 at 3:13 pm“The idea there’s no dissent on the air is completelty nuts.”
“However, given the tendency of the major networks (not just Fox News) to repeat almost verbatim whatever the Republicans are saying, and refusal to allow dissent on the air, I still stand by my original statement.”
Of course there is dissent on the air. Air America ring a bell.
John however specifically said “major networks” Nice try though.
December 3rd, 2005 at 3:15 pm#17,
If you ever get a reply from them, it will be something along the lines of “You don’t have to listen to us if you dont’ want to”. Of course that just allows them to either outright lie (as with the Murtha example you gave) or justify passing opinion off as fact. Free speech makes this a great country to live in, but it doesn’t include the freedom to lie and get defensive when people call you out on it.

Comment by wwallace
Correct me if I’m wrong, wwallace, but that arguement holds true for the Iraqi insurgents/killers as well, don’t you think? Had Bush and Cheney gone to Vietnam and watched the failure of nation-building there, they wouldn’t be trying that same mistake now in the more volotile and dangerous Middle East.
December 3rd, 2005 at 3:38 pmHey check this out ‘THE BIG BOYS’ with the ‘BIG’ toys are unhappy With PATRIOT ACT…SNIpZ;
Financial institutions also complain about the existing Patriot Act requirement that they verify customer identities and notify regulators if their customers appear on terrorist watch lists. Micki Carruthers, senior vice president and chief financial officer at Regal Financial Bank in Seattle, says that her two-year-old, 31-employee bank spends between $100,000 and $150,000 — or 10% to 15% of its annual operating expenses — on Patriot Act compliance. “You can talk to any bank and they will say the same thing about how these demands ruffle our feathers and are a costly burden,” she says.
Beyond costs, businesses fear that the Patriot Act puts at risk trade secrets and confidential financial data, according to Susan Hackett, senior vice president and general counsel for the Association of Corporate Counsel, a trade group representing the legal departments of major U.S. corporations. Multinationals are afraid that, by complying with government demands for financial records of overseas operations, they will violate more stringent privacy laws in other countries — particularly in Europe.

Of course, my Demented Mind, has obviously found yet another exit to depart the rails of the Krazy Train….Could work, Yall thinking what perhaps LEGAL things Im thinking?

Hey joe sixpack, given your articulate sarcistic (sp? bah,,), although hilarious sense of humour, to return the sarc-isms in good jest, of course. Seems ’smiley faces’ is a dislike, that would drive even you from this board (muhaha) Heres one I created for Ya, expressly.’anti-smiley face’

December 3rd, 2005 at 3:44 pmAll of the major networks lean left. The mainstream press as a whole overwhelmingly leans left.
December 3rd, 2005 at 3:48 pmListen, just because the Republicans rule the Whitehouse, Senate, Congress, the Supreme Court, Wall Street, the oil and pharmaceutical industry, large swaths of the media with the likes of Rupert Murdoch doesn’t mean thay they can’t be pushed around by the some gay activists, and the all powerful Hollywood elite lead by Field Marshall Striesand and General Tim Robbins who secretly run the courts, congress, the Whitehouse and the US military.
The conservatives are victims and they are under attack. You just have to believe Wwallace and his red, white and blue dildo named O’Rielly that whispers to him in God’s voice.

December 3rd, 2005 at 3:55 pm#22,
Get out of your “Faux-news” bubble much?
December 3rd, 2005 at 4:01 pm#22.
Like Bill O’Rielly who selects the “prime time line” to point out that Fox is not biased, Wwallace does the same.
Wwallace-How about the think tanks? Heritage, American Enterprise.
Talk Radio overwhelmingly right wing? The World Wide Web? Wall Street Journal? NY Post? Boston Herald?
How about advertizers. Oil and Big Pharmacueticals all in the right wing pocket?
Religious TV?
Murdoch Media Empire? Sinclair networks? Clear Channel(Cheerleaders for the war, boycotting of Dixiechicks?
MSNBC(Dumped Donahue….Now with Scarborough, Tucker Carlson, all over the map Matthews?
Come on sweet cheeks. The victim thing don’t fly.
Even Ann Couter said: “We have the media now”.
-GSD
December 3rd, 2005 at 4:03 pm“All of the major networks lean left. The mainstream press as a whole overwhelmingly leans left.
Comment by wwallace”
Bahaha, that’s really retarded, and a LIE.
The media ALL leans right except NPR, which is more balanced than the CORPORATE FASCIST MEDIA.
Only about 1/3 of all reporters AND editors combined consider themselves liberal. To say the media leans left is exactly the kind of moronic thing one would expect from a retarded monkey.
And when you consider that Kristol (A rabid reichwinger) has already admitted this left leaning press is a lie that the reichwing pushes in order to gain political leverage – then you realize that wwallace must either be illiterate, foolish, or intentionally spreading these lies for ‘political advantage’. Based on his passive aggressive and retarded posts, I’d say all three clearly apply :()
December 3rd, 2005 at 4:09 pmIT makes Wwallace and lots of the wingers into the very “sheeple” they accuse the left of being. Easily swayed and gulled.
Poor Sheeple.
-GSD
December 3rd, 2005 at 4:11 pmGood posts, almost everyone. Remember not to feed the trolls. Their cage is moving but no one’s home…Blessings
December 3rd, 2005 at 4:13 pmThank you, Sharon #28. Even a rightwing, redneck, conservative like me can be humble.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but after those kind words even wwallace can’t bring me into my naturally crass and vulgar self.
Cheers.
December 3rd, 2005 at 4:29 pmAnyone who uses the term “faux news” is by definition unable to think for himself.
December 3rd, 2005 at 4:30 pmGee, Wally,
Why are you saying such mean junk and stuff?
December 3rd, 2005 at 4:47 pmYou don’t want Dad to holler at you or nothin’.
I mean, just cause you wear your hair in that dippity-do style doesn’t mean you don’t think for yourself. It’s cause you like it, and so do some of your friends.
That’s all.
So, c’mon, Wally, don’t be lumping people together.
No, not “Lumpy.” Lumpin’. You know, a gen-er-al-i-za-tion.
-The Beev
#30,
That’s just silly.
December 3rd, 2005 at 4:50 pmAre you really that lame?
Hay Joe six pack. Your welcome. By the way, I like you and your posts no matter what side of the fence your on. Many times your posts are the best insight and laugh for the day…Blessings
December 3rd, 2005 at 4:50 pmafterthought, are you really that lame? I think you’ve more than proved you are. :()
December 3rd, 2005 at 4:51 pmGot “news” for ya, wwallace. Anybody that uses the term “faux news” is intelligent enough to realize that what they put out is not “news”, it’s “propaganda” (specifically, Republican Party propaganda.)
Read a book!
December 3rd, 2005 at 4:54 pm#34,
Just repeating things now?
December 3rd, 2005 at 4:54 pmYou really are playing “I’m rubber and you’re glue…”
You’re kidding, right?
Hee.
Wally,
Didn’t Dad tell you to stop doin’ the
“I Know You Are…” thing?
Gee, you ain’t bein’ nice.

Wayne proves the point I made in #30. Thank you Wayne. :()
December 3rd, 2005 at 5:03 pm#38 WW,
Has wandered into circular logic.
December 3rd, 2005 at 5:12 pmWill he escape?
Stay tuned for the next installment
of troll trap.
afterthought, calling me names will never change the facts I’ve posted or change your lies into the truth.
December 3rd, 2005 at 5:13 pm#38 Sorry, but as usual, your logic escapes me.
December 3rd, 2005 at 5:21 pm“One of the worst cases we’ve had in Texas was the time the Lord Impersonator convinced 20 people in Floydada to git nekked, get into a GTO and drive to Vinton, La., where they ran into a tree. Seein’ 20 nekkid people, including five children, come out of a GTO startled the Vinton cops. The nekkid citizens all said God told them to do it.” – Molly Ivins
December 3rd, 2005 at 5:21 pmWayne, logic seems to escape you as a matter of course.
December 3rd, 2005 at 5:23 pmWwallace, logic doesn’t escape me, only YOUR logic.
December 3rd, 2005 at 5:26 pm#40 brings us back to my post from
the last thread where WW pulled
the SOS.
You aways say that. Do you really think
it gets you anywhere?
WW typical post sequence:
1) Post really stupid flame-bait until
someone calls you stupid (typically after you
have already named-called in the first post)
2) Complain about being a victim of name-calling
You played this pattern many times, but you
December 3rd, 2005 at 5:28 pmjust end up sounding like a whiner (sorry to
call you another name, NOT).
afterthought, stop whining. :()
December 3rd, 2005 at 5:34 pmThere you go posting your girlfriend’s face again.
You know, that inflatable one sitting next to you.
December 3rd, 2005 at 5:55 pm:()
Has WALLACE got one of those blow up sex dolls with all the right equuipment in the right place?
Wobbly Wallace, I had one once. Got hot and heavy with it one night, bit her on the neck, she farted and flew out the window.
Oh well.
December 3rd, 2005 at 6:05 pm#46,
Hee. That’s funny.
You also played this game in the
newest thread.
Oh, and you still sound like:
“I know you are, but what am I”
Oh, Can you tell an observation
from whining?
I can understand why you don’t want
December 3rd, 2005 at 6:08 pmyour pattern explained, but you
can either:
1) Ignore and post with your usual pattern
2) Ignore and change your pattern
3) Say something like “So what, like
YOU don’t post replies in a similar way”
afterthought didn’t stop whining.
December 3rd, 2005 at 6:11 pmafterthought makes a lot of sense. Thanks, at.
December 3rd, 2005 at 6:17 pmI KNOW this will sound snarky,
December 3rd, 2005 at 6:40 pmbut WW, are you in junior high?
This endless:
afterthought didn’t stop whining.
makes you sound like a child.
Sorry, I know that is on the mean
side, but you sound sophomoric.
afterthought sounds like a child.
December 3rd, 2005 at 7:05 pm#53,
That’s it?
December 3rd, 2005 at 7:13 pmafterthought sounds like a reasoned, intelligent adult to most of us. You, wwallace, have responded with nothing but opinion unsupported by historical facts.
December 3rd, 2005 at 7:18 pmWayne, your opinion of afterthought’s childish posts is irrelevant.
December 3rd, 2005 at 7:22 pm#56 It’s not opinion, it’s fact. It’s not irrelevant, it’s pertinent.
I’ll say it again, “Read a book!”
December 3rd, 2005 at 7:36 pmOkay, this thread isn’t going anywhere. I just finished reading all of the postings, and I completely forget what the hell the thread started with!
Wallace, please leave the room so that the adults can talk amongst themselves. Go back and read the rest of the arguments on the Alito thread and answer the questions that I asked there. And don’t go posting the same old crap there, either! BEGONE WITH YOU!
I’m sorry, Sharon, but I had to do it.
December 3rd, 2005 at 7:42 pmWow, I killed the thread! Sorry!
December 3rd, 2005 at 8:03 pm
