		<description>Hey hussein toasterhead

I believe that pmavrk2 met your challenge in spades.  It is your turn, hussein.



Nice work pmavrk2.  For those of you who do not know who N.A.M.B.L.A is ... &lt;em&gt;North American Man/Boy Love Association   &lt;/em&gt;.  Look it up on google and you will see that vile organization that the ACLU supports.  

In addition to the ACLU supporting that vile organization N.A.M.B.L.A,  they also &lt;strong&gt;attack the boy scouts &lt;/strong&gt; nationwide.  The ACLU attacks the boy scouts because the scouts would not let a &lt;strong&gt;gay &lt;/strong&gt;scout master into one of the troups back in the 90s. 

Gee, I wonder why.  N.A.M.B.L.A --- Boy Scouts ???  You do the math. 

So lets reflect ... The ACLU supports a sick twisted organization like N.A.M.B.L.A but they sue a good wholesome organization like the boy scouts for not allowing a gay scout master into the scouts.  &lt;strong&gt;WHAT A NICE ORGAINZATION THAT ACLU IS .&lt;/strong&gt;  Sounds to me that the ACLU has an agenda and it &lt;strong&gt;does not &lt;/strong&gt;include civil liberty for ALL.

		<description>p,

I didn&#039;t read your references because you&#039;re bias and your thought process limited.

Since these are your references, post the disciplines each were in. I bet your point ends there.

Where were you when they made Presidents&#039; Day? They crammed two Presidents into one and made up a date pattern.

chimpy and mcchimpy are dummies
The above are your idols (idiots) leaders (linear), war czar(get &#039;em fido) 

Admit it, you&#039;re a racist point earner or you&#039;re very loney.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;pmavrk2 Says:

But as far as religion goes… why do liberal organizations like the ACLU continually attack Christian symbols while leaving just about every other religious symbol untouched? For every single instance that you can provide were the ACLU stood against a non-judeo religion I can produce 100 instances were they did. Perhaps I generalized too much but my contention is very clear. Most liberals hate Christianity. They prove it with legal actions constantly being spewed out by the ACLU and liberal activist judges.

The ACLU has never attacked Christian symbols.  I challenge you to find me one case in which the ACLU fought AGAINST religious freedom.</description>

		<description>Wow... what a silly but entertaining screed...

Tim43 Says:

&quot;Bull-craap Ralph. Everytime Christians try to do anything...&quot; 
____________

Nice, sweeping generalization, Timmy.  So broad as to be meaningless.  Now, if you&#039;re talking about declaring the Earth to be only 6,000 years old, or that a fertilized human egg is a person...  yeah... ya gotta point.  The saner percentage of the population doesn&#039;t cotton to that sort of gibberish too well, huh?
_______________

You cannot tell me with a straight face tha liberal crybabies in the ACU would not cry foul if a Christian dominated union decided to override MLK day wiht Billy Martin Day. GET REAL RALPHY.
________________

Uh, Timmy, what&#039;s a &quot;liberal crybaby&quot; ... again, a vague, meaningless term...

Hell, Timmy, the ACLU would certainly support your right to say such silly things in public, but can&#039;t guaranatee that anyone w/ half a mind would take you seriously...
________________

Although, christians would never do such a thing, this is simply an example used to parallel what the Muslims attempted to do with Labor day.
________________

Uh... &quot;the Muslims attempted to do w/ labor Day&quot;???  WTF???

The &quot;muslims&quot; didn&#039;t attempt to do anything to Labor Day.  Tyson offered to make the change as part of negotiating a contract that 80% of the Union members agreed to.
_________________

Noone would have said a word if the Muslims simply asked for an extra holiday above and beyond Labor day. The problem occured when they attempted to replace Labor day with with their holiday. GET IT RALPH???
__________________

Did the Muslims really &quot;attempted to replace Labor Day&quot;?  Again, Tyson offered to do so.  And it&#039;s only my personal opinion, but yes, I do believe folks like Malkin, and yourself, would have cried bloody murder if Muslims had &quot;simply asked for an extra holiday&quot; and gotten it.
__________________

Democracy prevailed. The majority of clear minded people in this country spoke with their wallets. And guess what, Tyson bowed to the democracy. They chose to sell more chicken.
__________________

&quot;The majority of clear minded people&quot;... would these be the same folks who want to force the rest of us to believe the Earth is 6,000 years old, Timmy?  Or that a fertilized egg is a human being?</description>

<p>Uh, Timmy, what&#8217;s a &#8220;liberal crybaby&#8221; &#8230; again, a vague, meaningless term&#8230;</p>
<p>Hell, Timmy, the ACLU would certainly support your right to say such silly things in public, but can&#8217;t guaranatee that anyone w/ half a mind would take you seriously&#8230;<br />
________________</p>
<p>Although, christians would never do such a thing, this is simply an example used to parallel what the Muslims attempted to do with Labor day.<br />
________________</p>
<p>Uh&#8230; &#8220;the Muslims attempted to do w/ labor Day&#8221;???  WTF???</p>
<p>The &#8220;muslims&#8221; didn&#8217;t attempt to do anything to Labor Day.  Tyson offered to make the change as part of negotiating a contract that 80% of the Union members agreed to.<br />
_________________</p>
<p>Noone would have said a word if the Muslims simply asked for an extra holiday above and beyond Labor day. The problem occured when they attempted to replace Labor day with with their holiday. GET IT RALPH???<br />
__________________</p>
<p>Did the Muslims really &#8220;attempted to replace Labor Day&#8221;?  Again, Tyson offered to do so.  And it&#8217;s only my personal opinion, but yes, I do believe folks like Malkin, and yourself, would have cried bloody murder if Muslims had &#8220;simply asked for an extra holiday&#8221; and gotten it.<br />

<p>Democracy prevailed. The majority of clear minded people in this country spoke with their wallets. And guess what, Tyson bowed to the democracy. They chose to sell more chicken.<br />

By the way, I noticed that this quote:



&lt;blockquote&gt;You cannot tell me with a straight face tha liberal crybabies in the ACLU would not cry foul if a Christian dominated union decided to override MLK day wiht Billy Martin Day. GET REAL RALPHY.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

displays an acute misperception of what the ACLU actually does.

You might want to read up on a few of the cases in which the ACLU has actually &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aclufightsforchristians.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;defended Christians&lt;/a&gt; and their right to worship without government interference.</description>

&lt;em&gt;ralph the wonder llama Says:

But now that you ask, if a Christian-dominated union voted to take one of their negotiated paid holidays in honor of Billy Graham, I wouldn’t have any objections. It’s not affecting me or my life, and since it’s not a government holiday, it doesn’t concern me.&lt;/em&gt;

Bull-craap Ralph. Everytime Christians try to do anything in this country you liberals cry foul. You cannot tell me with a straight face tha liberal crybabies in the ACLU would not cry foul if a Christian dominated union decided to override MLK day wiht Billy Martin Day. GET REAL RALPHY.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;m getting as real as I can, Timmeh.

You asked me a question, I answered it honestly. The answer didn&#039;t suit your agenda, so you assume I&#039;m lying even though you nothing about me aside from what I&#039;ve told you here or what else I&#039;ve written on this blog. And nothing I&#039;ve written contradicts anything I&#039;ve said in this thread.

Deal with it. Your cartoon stereotype of liberals has nothing to do with objective reality.

And you really don&#039;t do your argument any good with silly examples like &quot;Billy Martin Day&quot;.


&lt;blockquote&gt; this is simply an example used to parallel what the Muslims attempted to do with Labor day.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I understood that, and I answered in that vein.

You didn&#039;t like my answer because it confounded the stereotype you had invested in. Sorry about that.


&lt;blockquote&gt;Noone would have said a word if the Muslims simply asked for an extra holiday above and beyond Labor day. The problem occured when they attempted to replace Labor day with with their holiday. GET IT RALPH???&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yeah, I get it Timmeh. What I don&#039;t get is how it affected you and the other non-members of this particular union.

Would it affect&lt;em&gt; your&lt;/em&gt; ability to take a Labor Day holiday?

Would it eliminate Labor Day mattress sales?

Would it force you to cancel your barbecue?

What business is it of yours, Timmeh?



&lt;blockquote&gt;Democracy prevailed. The majority of clear minded people in this country spoke with their wallets. And guess what, Tyson bowed to the democracy. They chose to sell more chicken.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, in fact, Timmeh, as I tried to explain to your cohort, &lt;strong&gt;capitalism&lt;/strong&gt; prevailed. No one actually &quot;spoke with their wallets&quot; but if they had as they threatened, that&#039;s called &quot;capitalism&quot;.

&lt;strong&gt;Democracy&lt;/strong&gt; prevailed when the union members voted to celebrate a different holiday, because it was more meaningful to &lt;em&gt;the majority of them&lt;/em&gt;. THAT is &quot;democracy&quot;.

The &lt;em&gt;threatened&lt;/em&gt; boycott, using the power of the marketplace and of consumer choice, was &lt;em&gt;capitalism&lt;/em&gt; at work. A company made a decision based on its best business interests.

See the difference?

Oh, you don&#039;t... ?

well, I&#039;ve explained it as simply and clearly as I think I can, Timmeh. You&#039;re going to have to find someone else to entertain you and your substandard understanding of vocabulary.</description>

By the way ralph….

Let us put the shoe on the other foot. Let’s suppose that it was a Christian dominated union that voted to replace MLK day with something like Rev. Billy Graham Day. Would that be ok with you liberals???

But because it was an Islamic Day replacing Labor Day, I guess that is ok, right Ralph???

What a joke that liberal double standards are. Proves my point.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Please explain the &quot;double standard&quot; to which you refer, Timmeh.

I don&#039;t think I said a word on this thread about the holidays in question. So your impugning me on some imagined &quot;double standard&quot; having to do with that issue is absurd. Probably based on some lazy exaggeration of your own biased stereotype of what us &quot;liberals&quot; are all supposed to think, that&#039;s my guess.

But now that you ask, if a Christian-dominated union voted to take one of their negotiated paid holidays in honor of Billy Graham, I wouldn&#039;t have any objections. It&#039;s not affecting me or my life, and since it&#039;s not a government holiday, it doesn&#039;t concern me.

I don&#039;t know why it should concern you, either.</description>

No Pee mav, you agree to hold a mistaken, distorted view of the term “democracy” and I agree to keep language functional by not trying to make one word mean something it doesn’t mean, at least to those who take language seriously&lt;/em&gt;.

Your statement very clearly shows your closed mind. So, your interpretation of democracy is the only one that stands, eh?

Sounds like a typical liberal tyranny ralph.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

No, Timmeh, not MY interpretation -- the interpretation of lexicographers of the English language.

Words either mean something or they mean whatever you want them to mean.

Only problem with &quot;whatever you want them to mean&quot; is that communication eventually becomes impossible because there&#039;s no common ground of understanding.

If you guys want to believe that a consumer boycott of a commercial interest is &quot;democracy&quot; rather than &quot;capitalism&quot; because of a willfully distorted view of the term &quot;power&quot; you&#039;re absolutely welcome to do so.

Don&#039;t expect to be taken seriously by people who actually understand what those terms mean, however.</description>

Could it be that the exact opposite is true? Could it be that Muslims are using the liberal’s pacifism against them to gain a foothold in this country? Interesting thought but not as far fetched as I would have initially thought. Seriously, the liberals have essentially rolled out the red carpet to anyone that wants to come in, as long as they are not Christian.&lt;/i&gt;

Interesting bit of fiction there, moron.  Got any statistics to back that up, or did you just pull it out of your ass like the rest of your political philosophy?

&lt;i&gt;Either way geeko, while there may be many liberals in this country that would happily hand everything over to Islam simply to spite conservative Christians ( e.g., The Left Coast and parts of the North East) I can assure you that the core of this country (the majority of the MidWest) will never bow to Islam.

Liberals don&#039;t hate Christians.  Many of us are Christians.  What we hate are hypocrites.  The evangelical &quot;Christians&quot; who fly around in Lear jets and rake in millions of dollars in &quot;first fruits&quot; from gullible morons in the midwest, who do nothing but stir up fear and bigotry among their congregations.

We believe religion should unite people.  You folks use it to divide.  We&#039;re not trying to give Islam a &quot;foothold&quot; - we&#039;re merely welcoming a brother religion to our country.  If in the course of becoming a more welcoming and pluralistic society we recognize a few more holidays, fine by me.  But it&#039;s not going to &quot;destroy&quot; Christianity.  Islam does not intend to destroy Christianity.</description>

<p>Could it be that the exact opposite is true? Could it be that Muslims are using the liberal’s pacifism against them to gain a foothold in this country? Interesting thought but not as far fetched as I would have initially thought. Seriously, the liberals have essentially rolled out the red carpet to anyone that wants to come in, as long as they are not Christian.</i></p>
<p>Interesting bit of fiction there, moron.  Got any statistics to back that up, or did you just pull it out of your ass like the rest of your political philosophy?</p>
<p><i>Either way geeko, while there may be many liberals in this country that would happily hand everything over to Islam simply to spite conservative Christians ( e.g., The Left Coast and parts of the North East) I can assure you that the core of this country (the majority of the MidWest) will never bow to Islam.</p>
