Bloodthirsty lot, weren't they?
*shrug* I've got friends with the actual spells...
I don't have the time to read all these posts so if some one else posted tis already...sue me.
Ditto the argument by the libs on abortion. As far as the two women are concerned, let them go at it all they like in privacy. Once a child comes into it, that (imo) crosses the line.
Now either you agree with me on that or you don't. If you disagree, then no amount of argument can sway you.
If you disagree with Heather having two mommies, then you disagree with the veep on this matter. And being family does NOT give you a pass to effectively endorse something that's wrong.
I'm sick of people who otherwise would be dead against this saying it's ok because it's the Veep's family. I have a lot more respect for someone who just says "I think what they are doing is fine" than I do for someone who says "it's sick, but she's family, what can you do?".
If it's family, then it's even MORE your responsibility to take a stand on it. I.E. you might not really like the idea of smoking pot, but if you see a kid on the street doing it you mightnt get out of your car to stop them. If you see my OWN kid on the street smoking pot, damn it but I'll hold up the traffic for an hour while I lay it on him.
The veep "tacitly" supporting this is the worst solution. If he supports it, then let him say it, if not, then same thing.
Actually it's one pair of every non-Kosher species, and seven pairs of every Kosher species.
That's good for a bar bet, I bet...
First, kill all the lawyers...
Shakespeare
*sigh* It was pulled...
(not that I looked or anything)
Only one set of pigs?
BAH
I must have my daily pork.
I agree with Goldwater,,absolutely.
Sex does not keep two people together for that long.
Five to fifteen minutes...on average.
BWHAHAHAHAHA
Why is it scary? I enjoy Free Republic and have learned a heck of a lot from all the FREEPERS and made friends with quite a few. My family enjoys the learning that they get from it also. I guess if you think enjoying Free Republic and not wanting to be without it is scary...so be it. Call my thinking scary than. No worries.
And you know what I'm sick of? I'm sick of people wanting to legislate morality at the national level. I'm sick of pro-marriage Amendments, flag burning Amendments, abortion Amendments, (fill in the blank for the morality you support) Amendments. What do you not understand about this statement?
The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State. The operations of the federal government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the State governments, in times of peace and security.--Federalist 45and
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.which means, to take it back to a Constitutional standpoint, it's none of yours or anyone else's business how someone lives unless you are in a state that has passed legislation specifically prohibiting an act. This goes for abortion, marriage, etc. This is the stance of the Framers of the Constitution. They neither intended nor wanted morality built into the Federal Constitution. So what an elected federal official feels about a personal issue is none of my concern.
The veep "tacitly" supporting this is the worst solution. If he supports it, then let him say it, if not, then same thing.
I don't have to take a stand on it nor will I. And guess what? It's none of your business what Vice President Cheney supports or not. As outlined in the Federal Constitution (and the Federalist Papers which were used to argue support for the document) the Vice President's role is specific and deals with federal issues. He could show up tomorrow wearing a damn dress for all I care (wonder how many here arguing so vehemently against this have some issues they wouldn't want brought out into the open?). As long as he sticks to the issues that are the business of the federal government it just doesn't matter. Ms. Cheney and her partner aren't bothering me and aren't affecting me by their decision. It's called freedom and liberty. They have a right to choose how they live. And unless their respective state outlines rules against such behavior, nothing should be said about it. Leave them alone. They are private citizens who were not elected and should not have to answer to you or any other partisan moral hack
Are you willing to bet your children and your country on that? If so, it logically follows that you believe we have no business trying to stop the spread of militant islam.
On might even say unprecidented. It's going to be an interesting ride.
