re: Soros has always fancied himself an intellectual as well as a moneymaker)))

(snicker)--this remark, studiedly consdescending, must enrage a vanity like Soros'...

Fact is, all celebrities of any kind fancy themselves as intellectuals. Success of one kind implies "I'm right in everything" hubris.

I heard on Fox that there is a Republican pac called Grassfire, that is putting out ads to counter the MoveOn ads that are swamping some of the so-called swing states.

I'd like to see these enforced by our government, as written:

the soros threat

soros is the one most threatened by soros.

[tpaine]

Saying that infers you think you are better than your peers.
Not so. If they are scum, so are you.

[Kevin Curry]

You haven't answered. You've just squirted a quart of ink like a frightened squid.

But I can discern your answer from your non-answer. You admit that you are free to do everything you desire to do.

[CWOJackson]

"Saying that infers you think you are better than your peers."

Dude, you may consider low life drug runners your peers but I can guarantee you, I AM better then them.

[JudgemAll]

believe Soros or the US soldier.

[tpaine]

You just called posting our BOR's "squirted a quart of ink like a frightened squid."


You're crazy, curry.

[tpaine]

Dude, I do not consider low life drug runners my peers.

But I can guarantee you, those who willingly advocate the unconstitutional 'war on drugs' are also low lifes.

[CWOJackson]

Naw, you were right the first time...they are definately your peers.

[Helms]

Soros is an old man and getting older. I bet he knows hes going to die sooner rather than later. Its disgusting than an old white European man is causing havoc. He needs to play golf.

[Helms]

Multi Billionaire

[tpaine]

And you are definately a low life prohibitionist.

Are we through with the neener-neener bit now?

[ex-snook]

"Everyday we see the moral relativity pushers' results as we experience the unimaginable crimes, and the collapse of a once-thriving culture's moral underpinnings. "

Hey Liz. Be careful a guy who said similar was kicked off future GOP platforms and blamed for GOP 1992 loss.

"The presidency is also America's bully pulpit, what Mr Truman called, "preeminently a place of moral leadership." George Bush is a defender of right-to-life, and lifelong champion of the Judeo-Christian values and beliefs upon which this nation was built.

Mr Clinton, however, has a different agenda. At its top is unrestricted abortion on demand. When the Irish-Catholic governor of Pennsylvania, Robert Casey, asked to say a few words on behalf of the 25 million unborn children destroyed since Roe v Wade, he was told there was no place for him at the podium of Bill Clinton's convention, no room at the inn.

Yet a militant leader of the homosexual rights movement could rise at that convention and exult: "Bill Clinton and Al Gore represent the most pro-lesbian and pro-gay ticket in history." And so they do.

Bill Clinton supports school choice--but only for state-run schools. Parents who send their children to Christian schools, or Catholic schools, need not apply.

Elect me, and you get 2 for the price of 1, Mr Clinton says of his lawyer-spouse. And what does Hillary believe?

Well Hillary believes that 12-year-olds should have a right to sue their parents, and she has compared marriage as an institution to slavery--and life on an Indian reservation.

Well, speak for yourself, Hillary.

Friends, this is radical feminism. The agenda Clinton & Clinton would impose on America--abortion on demand, a litmus test for the Supreme Court, homosexual rights, discrimination against religious schools, women in combat--that's change, all right. But it is not the kind of change America wants. It is not the kind of change America needs. And it is not the kind of change we can tolerate in a nation that we still call God's country".

PS Keyes couldn't speak either in 2000.

[CWOJackson]

Don't sell yourself short tp. You and the drug runners share so many common values. You both think illegal drugs are perfectly fine and hate the authorities.

[bdeaner]

Fact is, all celebrities of any kind fancy themselves as intellectuals. Success of one kind implies "I'm right in everything" hubris.

Yes. And other people tend to fall for this too. In psychology, it is called a "halo effect" -- a cognitive bias, wherein one positively valued qualitity in a person is likely to bias our assessment of other qualities of that person. For example, if someone is attractive, people are more likely to assume they are smart, wealthy, more talented, etc. Same thing happens when someone is rich. Truth is, there are a lot of rich nutcases around, and Soros takes the cake.

[tpaine]

Dream on jackson..

You and the drug runners share many common values. You both think making drugs 'illegal' is perfectly fine and love our authorities for the unconstitutional prohibitions that enable this mad war.

[CWOJackson]

Don't be so bashful there tp. So you share common values with drug runners? So what if most people don't consider drug runners freedom fighters defending the Constitution?

[Kevin Curry]

I asked you tell us specifically what you cannot do that you desire to do. You responded by cutting and pasting the Bill of Rights.

That isn't an answer, but an obfuscation.

It may be fine ink you squirted, but you squirted it to aovid having to answer.

Why do you hold the BOR is such low regard that you would use it in such a flippant and cynical manner?
