"You can't square those two things."

Yes, in this age of post-modernism where there is no absolute truth, you can square any number of things because there is nothing that is so true that it cancels out something else.

Democrats seem to be particularly good at putting together contradictory ideas...but, unfortunately, it's become a society-wide phenomenom.

Do you have any idea what the viewing audience was for this debate? I mean, did many South Dakotans see it? You know, being from Minnesota, I can tell you that the folks in North and South Dakota are some of the nicest people on earth. They are honest and hard working, and really live their christian faith. So, it always baffles me that these two states send 4 liberal Democrats to represent them in Washington, DC. It's because they do not follow closely enough the actual betrayal of their values perpetrated by these 4 senators, who talk the conservative line during election years, then go to Washington and follow the liberal playbook. I hope the good folks in SD send Tom Daschle packing in two weeks.

Tom Daschle: "I believe very strongly that there ought to be separation of church and state. And I know that this is a very difficult issue in many cases. But I strongly believe that one of the reasons our country was founded is a recognition that there can't be a state religion.

Uh, not exactly -- not a single overriding National religion, perhaps, but around 10 of the 13 original states had an official religion. The last one - Massachusets, oddly enough, abandoned its "official" state religion somewhere around 1820. This simply continues the historical misconception of the phrase "CONGRESS shall make no law..."

" believe that that's really what we ought to do, is ensure that we teach as much as we can in our churches and in our parochial schools, but keep that fire wall in public schools. "

Not according to the Founding Fathers Tommy!

Thanks Kurt... nice post
May I ask ... How did you think the overall "debate" impressed the voters.... How is the sentiment for Thune running, in order to replace the Puff-ster??

Puuhhhhleeeze... good people of South Dakota.... relieve us of this burden....

Thanks again

Regards

The text doesn't tell you how effective Thune was in the debate. Daschle loked tired, almost depressed. He was on the defensive the WHOLE debate. Thune was superb. He looked younger, more vigorous, fresh..His best line, IMHO, when talking about the prescription drug plan, he said that daschle voted against it, but ALL the Dem senators from the nearby states..Dorgan, et al..voted FOR it...

I was also impressed with the questions. They came from SDak voters who sent them in..far better than Schieffer and Ifil..

Good post. While I might not be on the same page as many Evangelical Christians in regards to a lot of social issues, I really believe that the left treats God as if He were Freddy Kruger or Chuckie....too scary to mention. Anyone who knows any history at all knows the Founding Fathers interpreted "separation of church and state" as not establishing a particular state religion as in many European countries....not abolishing any public display of religion from the public sphere.

Thune did an excellent job in that debate, and Dasshole was...saddened...deeply.

It was the lead-in to Monday Night Football statewide, and this was the last question.

It's because we're generally honest, and we generally assume others are honest too--even politicians. The Thune campaign is at the very least forcing us to face the fact that *someone* is not being honest, although the state's most powerful media outlets (KELO-TV and the Sioux Falls Argus Misleader newspaper) are doing a great deal to confuse the electorate about who that someone is:

Pray for us.
