A Message To Conservatives: "Your Silence About Rush Limbaugh Is Deafening."

"I did not buy drugs from that woman, Wilma Cline".

[Lord_Baltar]

"maybe. but i see it as on the level as having an unregistered gun in NYC.

possession of the item is neither illegal or immoral, it's a matter of not having the goveernment approved paperwork.

Jail time? No."

Why is it people keep trying to relegate this to the level of Jaywalking, or spitting on the sidewalk?

This is no Traffic violation.

Sorry,

[Libertarian Billy Graham]

In the eyes of the Law, unfortunately he was.

Wrong. Jesus said that loving your neighbor is the whole of the Law--and he was right. You've confused mere unconstitutional despotic statutes with the Law.

In a free republic, cops, prosecuters, judges, and jurors are sworn to uphold justice, not unconstitutional despotic statutes.

[RightOnline]

It isn't nonsensical at all. To lump someone such as Limbaugh in the same category as a street junkie shooting up in some alley or haunting some crack house is totally absurd; worse than ridiculous.

[Prime Choice]

When Rush commits perjury and/or obstructs justice, I'll get back to you...

Every physician he contacted for prescriptions after her was addicted he lied to. If he wasn't trying to obstruct justice and save his behind why would he pay blackmail

Um...don't look now, but your desperation is showing. Statements made to a physician are not sworn testimony, so it's not perjury. And in case you haven't read up on case law recently, the person getting blackmailed is a victim of extortion.

Dang...wasn't even a very good try you made. Better luck next time.

[CWOJackson]

"In a free republic, cops, prosecuters, judges, and jurors are sworn to uphold justice..."

Actually, their responsibility is to uphold "the law", not your idea of what justice should be.

[Big Horn]

I would like to see the State Attorney's records and see how many " Dr. Shopping" cases he has pursued or any cases involving prescription drugs. This is all payback politics and a waste of taxpayers money.

[Libertarian Billy Graham]

The ability to understand citizens' and government servants' duties in a free republic was bred out of Americans like you a long, long time ago.

If your ability to reason were not also obliterated, you could read the US Constitution and learn that the executive branch is not bound to legislative statutes:

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

...the law of the land, mentioned in Magna Carta, was the common, ancient, fundamental law of the land, which the kings were bound by oath to observe; and that it did not include any statutes or laws enacted by the king himself, the legislative power of the nation.--Lysander Spooner from Trial by Jury

But the only hope Americans like yourself have of ever learning to love your neighbors as yourselves, is if you are scared into it, the same way you were frightened into trading a free republic for the false security of an authoritarian socialist police state where you think you have to obey every dictate of every two bit legislator. Perhaps your thoughtless emotions will save you then, when a libertarian evangelist addresses your basic instincts of fear and greed, and causes you to repent for your crimes against your neighbors--even if only to save your own behind from eternal physical torment.

Wrong

This has nothing to do with God's law. This discussion is about Man's law. He lied under oath and perjured himself. These things are facts. He was convicted by a Judge of contempt of court. This is also a Fact.

Loving your neighbor as Jesus commanded us to, has nothing at all to do with Man's physical Law.

What we do between one another is Spiritual. As a Christian, I can forgive Bill for any transgressions against me. As a member of Society, I will hold him accountable for his Violations of the Laws of my Country.

Did not Jesus ALSO say, Give unto Ceasar, that which is Ceasar's, and unto God that which is God's.

Unto God I ask for his forgiveness for my transgressions and violations of his laws and try my best as a fallable sinful man to forgive those who transgress against ME personally.

Unto Ceasar I hold accountable all who Violate Ceasar's laws. Unless and until they come into conflict with God's laws.

Clinton violated both Man and God's laws. By perjuring himself, he lied to a court of his peers. I can forgive lies he told to me (none), but I will not hold him blameless for his lies to a court of this country. Neither will I hold him blameless for his contempt of court.

[CWOJackson]

"...when a libertarian evangelist addresses your basic instincts of fear and greed..."

You're as much an evangelist as Jesse Jackson.

[CWOJackson]

In case you missed it, we have a "libertarian evangelist"; in our midst. Talk about oxymoron's.

[nopardons]

I knew Billy Graham, I sang ( albeit long ago ) in his choir, and YOU are NO Billy Graham...LOSERTARIAN, or otherwise.

Libertarian UTOPIA, is " LORD OF THE FLIES " ;nothing more and nothing less. GOD ( you remember HIM, don't you ? ) ordered mankind, through HIS laws to behave, else they would be punished. GOD doesn't see mankind as inherently good and neither do I. They MUST be " coerced " and even then, they don't behave correctly.

[nopardons]

Less so! LOL

An evangelist from Our Church of Perpetual Pleasure; If'n It Feels Good, Do It.

[Libertarian Billy Graham]

Did not Jesus ALSO say, Give unto Ceasar, that which is Ceasar's, and unto God that which is God's

Caesar claimed to be a God. This is a violation of the Jews' 1st commandment. His image on the coin was a graven image--a violation of the Jews' 2nd commandment. So what part of "Give a false god what he has coming to him" are you confused about?

Unto Ceasar I hold accountable all who Violate Ceasar's laws. Unless and until they come into conflict with God's laws.

It was these conflicts of the imperial Roman occupiers' laws with Jesus' Golden Rule that is the main theme of the gospels' account of the life of Jesus!

Loving your neighbor as Jesus commanded us to, has nothing at all to do with Man's physical Law.

As you pointed out above, it has everything to do with it when there is a conflict. Just as the operators of the Underground Railroad were not bound to tell the U.S. Fugitive Slave marshalls where the escaped slaves were hiding, Clinton was not bound to incriminate himself in front of the sex police (even if he had pushed for the draconian laws himself a few years earlier--just as Rush is not bound to obey the unconstitutional drug laws that he pushed for years earlier).

[nopardons]

Yep; not to mention the subsect...Our Church of Contemptuous superiority Complex and Delusion. Their holy sacrements ? Why, passing the bong and hearty slapping one's self on the back, of course.

[onyx]

It's daylight ETOM!

[nopardons]

I suppose it is somewhere, ETOM. Here, it's been pouring rain ALL day long and gloomy as all getout. But, I do know what yolu mean. LOL

Got an early Christmas pressy ... a laptop, so I'm trying it out. :-)

[gatorbait]

From what I have read, a large percentage of homeless people are vets, with a large percentage of them addicts.

Where did you read this? I'd assume Time or Newsweak or any of the other unbiased sources. This is not true, you should be smarter than that.Then ,of course, tha tmight mean switching off Jerry Springer.

Chief,how many times is this old saw going to be spoken of until people pull their heads out of their rectums?

[Leatherneck_MT]

His reference to giving unto Ceasar that which is Ceasars is a general reference to give unto the Govt that which belongs to the Govt. What part of that are YOU confused about?

Clinton WAS under oath. He was bound BY LAW to tell the truth.

Except of course to you liberals who believe that there is no such thing as a lie, just different versions of the truth.
