A theme of disgust
Me | 2/10/06 | Me

Posted on 02/10/2006 3:18:11 PM PST by RedBeaconNY

Hello everybody. I am looking to write an essay for a Cornell scholarship competition. The general theme of the essay is: "'People who stay in the middle of the road get run over' and 'The hottest place in hell is for those who remain neutral in times of moral crises.'"

I am looking to write a paper on the evils of appeasement, using Neville Chamberlain and our modern RINOs as prime examples. One recent example is the confirmation battle of Samuel Alito. If any of you have any particularly irksome complaints where the Republicans have been completely spineless (or anybody else for that matter) to detrimental effect, please let me know! Consider this a Friday destressing rant thread of sorts. Thanks1

You write a good essay on those topics, and send it to Cornell, in the city of EVIL (Ithaca), they will be sending men in white coats (and hoods) to find you.

I hope you've left a will, or a note as to what to do with your goldfish.

I wrote a paper strongly condemning homosexuality last year and sent it that way. I'll be fine.

BTW, I lived in the City of Evil for 15 years. It's technically my home town.
