		<description>&quot;Arbeit Macht Frei,&quot; eh, Mr. Barr?
  Y&#039;all watch what kind of free ride the Congressman gets from the Hannity/Limbaugh brownshirts after characterizing folks who answered our nation&#039;s call as &quot;a hodge podge that includes ex-cons, drug abusers and high-school dropouts.&quot;
  Tell it to the Marines, jackass !

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Even if we limit it to Arabic translators alone, the number is still higher than 36.

Comment by Grand Moff Texan â€” June 13, 2007 @ 1:51 pm&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Stephen Colbert this week limited the number he was citing just to Arabic translators and his number was 58.

The difference between us being I specified competance and not language.

We are of course both lying, as you well know by your own studies of the data quoted which somehow didn&#039;t involve looking at it or posessing even the most basic math skills.</description>

		<description>Interesting, now that the religious right cannot use the bible as the authority for making second class citizens out of racial minorities, nor use the bible to compel a &quot;legal&quot; basis against interacial marriage, the nearly EXACT modus operandi of justification is dredged up to support a Christian Fatwah against hating another group.

Jesus said what ever one does to the least of their brothers they do to Him.  So, if they consider gays a &quot;lesser human&quot; and justify hating them, do they not, by extention, hate Jesus?

IF one is going to say the bible is literal an inviolate, then full kosher compliance with dietary laws should not be optional, and one should own slaves, and our leaders, such as Bush who is closest to a Soloman should be allowed multiple wifes and concubines.  UNTLESS AND UNTIL all of the Evangelical show me by their actions that ALL of the bible is as important to them than passages they use to justify hate, I cannot take anything they say as anything except hypocritical rhetoric.

And yes, I am a Christian who is HUMBLE in my approach to God and Jesus, PERSONAL in my relationship to my faith and, like JESUS Himself, critical of those who try to show society how much better and more faithful they are through making an ostentatious show of their &quot;faith&quot; and Wealth...after all, it was not the poor Jesus drove out of the Temple now was it? Last time I looked it was self-engrandizing religious leaders and money changers who took advantage of the poor as they entered the house of prayer!!

I fully expect to be condemned by those who feel I am not &quot;christian&quot; as defined by the Evangelical Radicals, but I am secure enough and humble enough in MY faith to accept that.</description>

		<description>Flaco, if you study hard and get good grades. . . . 

Oh, wait.  That won&#039;t work anymore.

If you abuse drugs, drop out of high-school and steal, then you&#039;re just what the new US Military is looking for!

Mainframe operations kept the US safe from cyber-terrorism.  What kind of cyber-terrorist knows Cobol and can hack into a mainframe?  Not a one!

Everyone in the Army is a scond-line troop.  If I had been ordered to war, I would have gone.  Unlike any of the neo-cons that love war, but refuse to offer service to the country.

How do you justify your action in avoiding military?  Let me guess, &quot;you&#039;ve got too much to live for.&quot;</description>

		<description>#291

I was a medic.

I spent 16 months working in the Canal Zone(Panama).

I was in a HHQ company.

That command, at that time, was USARSO â€“ U.S. Army Southern Command.


I trained at Fort Sam Houston and Portsmouth Naval Hospital.


Please note that I&#039;ve made no claims about my military service.</description>

		<description>As a paid professional (that does make me an expert on the matter by definition), and someone who has an active role in raising her niece, itâ€™s simple - respect them, while teaching them to respect you and others simultaneously. It really isnâ€™t that complicated. They are people too. They also respond better to praise and reward than to punishment and damnation, by the way.

There is a big difference raising your own children and others. It is nice that you are involved with your family but there are many like you that think yourself an expert and that you  know how to raise kids and you do not. You are not a parent and do not have that expertise sorry. Book knowledge is all you have which is not fine for you.</description>

		<description>#283 - &quot;So whatâ€™s the excuse for people in this country that would endorse such errant stupidity?&quot;  Comment by Big M â€” June 14, 2007 @ 11:19 am

You hear of all the stupid decisions that come out of the Bush Administration, and you&#039;re all up in arms about equal rights?

The &lt;strong&gt;true freaks&lt;/strong&gt; include you and those of your ilk.

I&#039;m glad I spent my time in the US Army protecting your right to spew that kind of mindless crap, but I&#039;ll take you to the woodshed if you call me &quot;faggot&#039; to my face, you pitiful loser.  It&#039;s &lt;strong&gt;MISTER Faggot&lt;/strong&gt; to pansies of your stripe, coward!</description>

		<description>First off, the federal government has no say whatsoever about marriage -- that is a state issue.

That being said, anybody that would date, make love to, or try to marry a person of their own sex is a certifiable freak. If colon commandos want to raid each other&#039;s buttholes in their homes, fine. If clam-bumpers want to do each other with strap-ons in their homes, I&#039;m not going to lose sleep over it. Frankly, I consider lesbos one of the most laughable wastes of space imaginable.  But when they start demanding that society validate their pervert relationships in civil ceremonies, they&#039;re going too far. Only a country begging to destroy itself would even remotely consider putting up with this shit.

For Christ&#039;s sake, even the flamers that wrote the constitutions for Athens and Sparta weren&#039;t braindead enough to codify marriage for faggots. So what&#039;s the excuse for people in this country that would endorse such errant stupidity?</description>
