&#039;Why don&#039;t you elaborate on just what freedom Cheney and Bush took from us. I doubt you will for you are great at hurling charges then running for cover, you chicken shi****.&lt;/em&gt;

Nah, I think I&#039;ll let Brandon Mayfield explain it instead:

It&#039;s humiliating to live in a country that Bush created where Timothy McVeigh can get on an airplane, but Cat Stevens can&#039;t.</description>

bitblt,
Your just like the conservatives always avoiding the issues and your first comment that was a total lie and racist in nature. Just like I thought you have no reason&#039;s or logic as to why the &lt;strong&gt;abortion rate is high in rural America.&lt;/strong&gt; Your a fraud.
So stop using God to mask behind your baseless and racist comments dood. 
Who&#039;s a famous Republican dood, that racist and bitter outdated Buchanan boy?

&lt;strong&gt;abortion rate is high in rural America.&lt;/strong&gt;

What do you have to substantiate this claim? 

bit did note while finding this information 

http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss5212a1.htm#tab9

&lt;strong&gt;Table 9 The percent of abortions performed on black preborn is 35.1% or all abortions.
&lt;/strong&gt;

that about 50% of the abortions in Alabama are to black women.

Do you think that stat contributes to your assertion that 
&lt;strong&gt;&quot;abortion rate is high in rural America.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;

bit looks forward to reading your clarification.



BTW, your, &quot;Your a fraud,&quot; should be &quot;You&#039;re a fraud.&quot;</description>

Fully one third ( 1/3 of ~1.2M) of abortions are on preborn of color.
This fact and these: &lt;strong&gt; homosexuality, AIDS&lt;/strong&gt; and 70% of black children born out of wedlock, are the reasons so&lt;strong&gt; many black preachers fear the total destruction of the black family. &lt;/strong&gt;
July 17th, 2009 at 11:04 am 
&lt;/em&gt;
This conclusion: &lt;strong&gt; many black preachers fear the total destruction of the black family&lt;/strong&gt; did not originate with bit, but since bit can’t remember where he read it, let’s assume this concluding remark is bit’s opinion. Bit leaves it to TP readers to decide whether or not black Christian preachers fear the total destruction of the black family because of detrimental sexual behavior.</description>

I know that most people won&#039;t agree with me on this, but I&#039;m going to say it anyway. I find the comments on this blog that have said that this Congressman should have been aborted by his mother to be just as offensive as what this man said.....

As vile as the comments of this Congressman are, when liberals make similar comments, I think that it is counterproductive.&lt;/em&gt;

I wholeheartedly agree. We do not have to stoop to the gauche, shrill or name calling to have an intelligent discourse. Repeated posts with name calling serve no purpose and merely reflect the lack of forethought for the post. There are the usual people who post the same sort of comments without any discussion. When I see their posts I just skip right through them. An intelligent comment or a clever witticism gets my attention.</description>

<p>I wholeheartedly agree. We do not have to stoop to the gauche, shrill or name calling to have an intelligent discourse. Repeated posts with name calling serve no purpose and merely reflect the lack of forethought for the post. There are the usual people who post the same sort of comments without any discussion. When I see their posts I just skip right through them.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;I am asking the NOT shitheads and apologists like you to step up and resist the facists shit that&#039;s happening...&lt;/em&gt;

You have no idea what I&#039;m an activist in...

&lt;em&gt;..well...you will be dead before me....&lt;/em&gt;

Almost certainly. But just in case, be sure to take your blood pressure meds.

&lt;em&gt;Oh, I forgot manners beat the sh&#124;t out of the Nazis!!!!!
&lt;/em&gt;

Not sure what point you are trying to make... but invoking Godwin&#039;s Law so soon in our little discussion? Tsk Tsk.

Now, I&#039;d like to show you that that you have just proved proved my previous point. I am a reasonable person. I like to think I can be persuaded to change my point of view because I have a fairly open mind &lt;strong&gt;if&lt;/strong&gt; you can convince me of your position. 

In your last comment you have called me an apologist (please show me where I apologized for anything that this particular congressman has done or said?), have inferred that I am a &quot;sh*thead,&quot; and invoked Godwin&#039;s Law. 

Do you think that you have convinced me of anything? Do you think that I am interested in anything more that you have to say on this subject? Or do you think that I will be more inclined to just put you on a personal &quot;ignore&quot; list because of these invectives? Hmmm. I wonder which one I will choose. Pity. Because from time to time, I&#039;ve thought that you have made some interesting points.

We&#039;ll just have to agree to disagree. 

Peace.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;dixie blood says:

Manners and political correctness are the hanging nooses around the necks of progressives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;/em&gt;

Well, you go ahead and fight that fire with fire and all you will end up with is scorched earth.

This has nothing to do with political correctness. My only point was that this is such a hot button issue that being so flippant about such an important women&#039;s health right (that is eroded at every turn) actually diminishes that right. If you truly support a woman&#039;s right to choose, then you must realize that it is a decision that women take seriously and do not enter into without thought. 

I live for the day that abortions are &lt;em&gt;safe, legal and rare&lt;/em&gt; because women are given the real tools to prevent unwanted pregnancies. I have lived in a time before Roe v. Wade existed and do not want anyone to return to those back alley days. 

I like a good snarky comment the same as anyone. If you were not offended by the comments that appear to take lightly a women&#039;s right to choose, fine. I have no quarrel with that and you are free to continue to make thoe comments. I &lt;em&gt;was&lt;/em&gt; offended. And it was only my opinion that I was expressing. 

Will discussing the right to choose issue with people like bitbit or Tiahrt ever convince them? Not likely. Their fundamentalism is entrenched and predictable and unwavering. But there are reasonable people whose minds might be changed by a civil discussion of the issue. But they will never listen to you if you are shouting at them or being offensive.</description>
