Another brilliant Progressive using the racism card.

(One wonders when it will finally be worn out.)

Too bad, she would be very not guitly if she wasn’t so stupid.

It's not so much that racism card...it's the "white guilt" card. Whenever a progressive/lib starts to loose an argument they throw in the racism card because they know said card is built on white guilt. The "white guilt" concept has been pounded into people's heads since preschool.

In this case, the anchor babe is out of intellectual ammunition so she appeals to white guilt by playing the race card.

It happens all the time in liberal land.

Funny thing is that this former teacher’s union doesn’t even support her.

Assleigh looks slightly deranged.

CNN, MSNBC, ABC management have a knack for hiring ditzy, weird and other types (including homosexuals and lesbians) driven insane by their obsession with Obama and socialism.

Then there’s Fox News’ Sheppard Smith.

Blows my mind...

Sign a contract
break the terms of the contract
Claim the contract THAT YOU SIGNED violates your Constitutional rights

Socialist: The reward is you’re not punished.

Capitalist: The punishment is you’re not rewarded.

In socialist countries, there is no getting ahead. And the counter-party to every transaction and relationship is the state. So, motivation is merely negative and involves the coercive force of the state.

In capitalist countries, there is getting ahead and the state is minimal. So, in the private sector, “punishment” consists of being boycotted, fired or shunned by others.

As for stoning, notice that this goes beyond withholding rewards. This is a punishment. Only the state has the power to do this, and this would require due process. And, for conservatives, the punishment should fit the crime.

(Although I will not develop the argument here, Jesus clearly taught that “stoning” is to be regarded as a euphemism for shunning; and, even, that we should hope for and even have some confidence in the return of the person shunned.)

For many Muslims, their religion is dialectic, or total, encompassing everything, there is no separation of church and state, everything is religious. Hence, stoning and other punishments of people for infractions of the rules of what we would see as private organizations like a church are okay because there really aren’t any private organizations.

You don't think she is a little not guilty? I kinda go for that geeky glasses look. But the stupid makes her so very unnatractvie.

My dreem girl is the one in the TV advertisement for Geek Squad - where the teenage boy selects from a bunch of geeks in pacakages and one of them is a hot blonde with the glasses

This is another one:

Her train of logic has many wrecks along the way. She obviously lives in a socialist fantasy world where all things delusionally fit into the progressive mindset only.

Trying to follow Ashleigh is like trying to follow someone who is stoned. Whatever CNN pays her must qualify as charity.

I saw a guy working in his yard with no shirt on yesterday and thought... yuck, gross! I get the same reaction when I see this photo with the chest showing. Why do these people not get it?

she told jurors in her case this week that she did not know that artificial insemination violated church doctrine.

Although I realize this is not an excuse, it is quite plausible that she really didn't know. I mean, she would have to affirmatively seek out that knowledge because the church isn't exactly shouting it from the rooftops.

I've attended over 3000 Catholic Masses and I can't recall the subject ever being brought up. It may have once or twice but I really don't think so. Abortion has been brought up in about six homilies out of 3000, homosexuality twice, contraception about three times, modesty about three times. I can't remember theft ever being brought up. If I had to guess I would say that any kind of sin has been the subject (minor or main) of perhaps a couple dozen homilies over the years. Although in the prayers of the faithful we do always pray for an end to abortion and peace and justice among nations.

I must say that I was thrilled to hear the Pontiff denounce the sin of gossip. It's a particularly bad sin and I never hear it mentioned. It's also one that I have witnessed priests engaging in. I won't mention names because that would be gossiping.

Let’s stop using the term progressive to describe leftists. It is newspeak, designed so that each time we, their opponents use it we look like tegressoves, barbarians. Don’t fall for it, stop calling them progressive or gay or pro-choice or liberal or you end up calling us regressive, depressing, anti-choice, illiberal. Call them leftists, homosexuals, pro-death/anti-life, leftists. Also never use the term homophobe or islamophobe. Disliking those two are not mental diseases

Try never

By the time whites grow a spine it will be too late

A brown citizenry will teach about extinct whites like we talk about Nazis

All pejorative
