		<description>Tommy Thompson was on Real Time with Bill Maher tonight. Bill asked him about his response to firing someone because they&#039;re gay. Tommy blamed it on his hearing aid...that he didn&#039;t hear the question.</description>

		<description>Comment by Daryll:

Revelations is not fun, it should scare you. Let me guess, youâ€™re another individual that believes in abortion, homosexuality, illegal immigration and over-taxing the wealthy.

My response:

... abortion....homosexuality....illegal immigration....AND OVERTAXING THE WEALTHY?!   Godly Concerns?  

*Beat*  

BWWWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*deep gasping breath*HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...


What bible are you reading from, Daryll?   The Neo-Con Bush-Brown-Noser annotated Cliff Note edition?   BWAHAHAHAHA.


Having your nose so far up Bush&#039;s crack has addled your brain, Daryll!   God is concerned that people are _Overtaxing the Rich_?!   Dude, you crack me up.   What section in the Bible says &#039;Thou shalt not overtax the rich?&#039;   Come on, dude, I gotta see this.   And while you&#039;re at it, lemme see the directive that says &#039;Thou shalt oppress thine neighbors to the south and drive them at the rod back to their homelands&#039;.   This I gotta see.

Daryll&#039;s in need of some serious head-shrinking.  Maybe if I type in the name of a person whose name is pronounced the same as the star &#039;Betelgeuse&#039; three times, I can get him to get his buddy who shrunk his head at the end of the movie to do the same to Daryll.  :-D   Somehow I don&#039;t think psychiatry will solve Daryll&#039;s problems.  ;)

I mean, I&#039;ve heard the whole thing about abortion and homosexuality, but overtaxing the rich and stopping illegal immigration?   That reads like a forced juxtaposition to me....</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Mary was only a vessel used by God. Comment by Daryll &lt;/em&gt;

And later you say that you are a vessel used by God.  The key word here is USED.  No one, not even the all-knowing Super Being (depending on your chosen religion) USES me for anything.  I am my own person and no mortal or immortal is going to use me.

SULOGA, Darryl.  No one appreciates your holier-than-thou, bible thumping drivel.</description>

		<description>Oh, I figured it out. Daryll is like an Ann Coulter or Rush Limbaugh. I always ask myself if this is all theater, and nobdy can be that insane and/or bigoted. It is a sort of &quot;Hyper-Fantasy&quot;. 

Maybe Limbaugh, Coulter, and Daryll are actually progressives that are showing the shear hysteria of these people that are approximately 30% of the population.

My friends and I always did that. We would go into a crowd, and start talking like stupid rednecks, and saying all of the catch phrases like Hate Gays, Woman Belong in the Kitchen, God Damn Environmentalist-Wackos, Hippy Dippys, Hey Boy-Love it or Leave It, Anti-War Traitors, God, Guns, Guts, and so on. Usually the bright people would catch on, and start laughing, and the rednecks would think we were one of them.</description>

		<description>TP been acting weird. I couldnâ€™t get on yesterday afternoon or evening, and for a little time this morning. **sniff**

Comment by Zooey 

I  tried  to  post and  got  a  site  not found   error,   had to  retype  after  the site came back LOL
That&#039;s  always   irritating  


I  really doubt   Darryll  will   try  to  answer   the   question  I  posed. He  always   seems to skip  out  on  the ones  that are  tough  to answer.</description>

Comment by DRxJ

Now that&#039;s   obsession.</description>

		<description>Wow, so I wonder why â€œIn God we Trustâ€ is listed on the dollar (sarcasm off).

Comment by Daryll 

&quot;In  God We Trust&quot;   was   added   to  money  in  1864,  in a bill  passed  by  a   Republican Congress ( supprise, supprise)

You   Cristo-Fascists  have  been trying   to   force  Christianity, illegally  as   the National   Religion  since the  inception of  the  Republican  Party.

And before  you  comment on  it,  ending  slavery  was  an added component, to  gain  support of the abolisionists.  The   major reasons  for  the  civil war  was  were different economies, stateâ€™s rights to vote on laws, and the election of Abraham Lincoln as president.
Thus the   compromise  with the  christian right  at  the  time,   declaring  blacks  only  3/5ths  of  a   person whenthey were  freed.
Now why   did they  resist giving full  personhood  and why   did  it take  a  Democratic Majority  to finally  pass  a Civil Rights   Act?</description>

		<description>#32 - &quot;It was your satanic party that altered society.&quot;  Comment by Daryll â€” May 4, 2007 @ 12:01 pm

See!  Even Daryll understands that the Republican party is run by Satan!

By the way, Daryll, when will you support polygamy as the Bible supports it?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Wow, so I wonder why â€œIn God we Trustâ€ is listed on the dollar (sarcasm off).

Comment by Daryll &lt;/em&gt;

Actually, Daryll, &quot;In God We Trust&quot; was added to U.S. currency during the Civil War, because of pressure on the administration by Christian fanatics who were certain that the conflict was due to &quot;Godlessness&quot; of then-current American culture.

Sound familiar?

In a similar way, &quot;Under God&quot; was added to the PLedge of Allegiance during the McCarthy era, to combat the &quot;Godless&quot; communists.  It was thought by the extreme right-wingers that force-feeding the concept of God to kids would make them less likely to be interested in socialism.

Try learning some history Daryll...it might at least make your arguments coherent, if not logical.</description>

That phrase first appeared on the 2-cent coin in 1864.  Hardly a result of the &quot;Founding Fathers.&quot;  In addition...please note that it does NOT say &quot;In (a Christian) God We Trust.

Here&#039;s an article that perhaps you could read to educate yourself about the utilization of the word &quot;God&quot; and it&#039;s history as well.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Revelations is not fun, it should scare you. Let me guess, youâ€™re another individual that believes in abortion, homosexuality, i&lt;strong&gt;llegal immigration and over-taxing the wealthy.&lt;/strong&gt;

Comment by Daryll â€” May 4, 2007 @ 12:03 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Daryll...since you evidently believe so strongly in the Book of Revelations (which even biblical scholars disagree on it&#039;s interpretation); nevertheless.  I will ask you to give us at least one verse each of the words of Jesus Christ about abortion, homosexuality,  and especially the last two: illegal immigration and over-taxing the wealthy.</description>

		<description>If an employee finds homosexuality to be offensive due to his religion, can he be fired?  Shouldn&#039;t he have his religious beliefs protected?

This argument works both ways.  Employers should be allowed to fire anyone for any reason, just as employee&#039;s can choose not to work for anyone for any reason.</description>
