Ping.

[Barney Gumble]

"Since it takes a two-thirds vote to break a filibuster, liberals have..."

In my mediocre understanding of civics, I thought the Republican party could force the Democrats to really filibuster, i.e., they have to talk until the Congressional session ends or have a vote. Why wasn't this enforced by Republicans? Did spending some time on Capital Hill listening to the babble deter them?

The plan:

1. Encourage false individuality and the desire for irresponsible freedom.
2. Encourage the idea that morals are only for Christians. Accuse them of being "extreme." (There are no secular reasons to maintain the health of the tribe?)
3. Break up traditional families.
4. Discourage childbearing.
5. Encourage dependency on government by non-traditional couples and the elderly.
6. Raise taxes and encourage the perception of a benevolent state that plays mother, father, and guardian to all.
7. Break down traditional values.
8. Disarm individuals.
9. By then, America will no longer be a significant force. In parallel, the same strategies will have repeated in Europe, free Asia, and Africa.

Gee, I never knew that liberals used to be moral.

I’m waiting for a prominent liberal to say: "Yes, I support gay marriage, but not this way. . . Let’s do this the right way – in the legislatures or at the polls."

In fairness, the only lesbian on the SJC was among the dissenters on the grounds that it's a legislative matter. I don't know how prominent she is; I don't even remember her name. Of course, to a great extent, the media create "prominence."

The following definitions of "democracy" from www.dictionary.com (it seems the liberals are focused on #5)

1. Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives.
2. A political or social unit that has such a government.
3. The common people, considered as the primary source of political power.
4. Majority rule.
5. The principles of social equality and respect for the individual within a community.

Homosexual Agenda Ping - Excellent, excellent article. I really like Don Feder.

How about this statement:

"Thus, while Americans are fighting and dying to bring democracy to Iraq, we are losing the war on the home-front. Increasingly, the most fundamental societal decisions are being taken away from citizens and elected officials and placed in the hands of an imperial judiciary."

The only difference I would have is that, like Cal Thomas, he is qutie pessimistic. I am not.

I'm just getting fighting mad. And I hope you all are too.

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

Duke University is attempting to defend its "domestic partners"and redefinition of "family" It pretends the Durham
YMCA had an agreement with that reprobate school.And that
the YMCA (when it reorganized) remebered the founding principles,and purpose for the Young Mens Christian Assoc.
and no longer chose to honor the corruption and fraud embraced by Duke."domestic partnership"and the post modern
secular humanist definition of family promoted by the university simply ought not be compatible with Christian
values.If it isn't one man and one woman in the Holy estate
of matrimony it isn't marriage--but mere convienence.
