Feel the love. Yeah, you can really work with democrats. Yeah, democrats really have this county's best interests at heart.
Just step back and watch with the rest of America the real face of the Democrat party.....it will help us in 2008.
He indulges in the same totalistic attitude he's criticizing. Being opposed to environmentalism does not mean one wants to "destroy" the environment, of course.
The Kerry voters I spoke to assumed as a matter of course that voting for Bush meant you were either a hopelessly warped or a hopelessly misinformed individual, and in either case incapable of rational thought.
Their rational thought is that truth is relative and use that as their touchstone. Conservatives know there is a right and a wrong and there is an absoulue truch but it takes much effort to find that truth.........we are speaking different languages.
When George W. Bush speaks of the need for forcefulness in fighting Islamic terror, he is wise; when he pretends that the dangers of global warming don't exist, he is foolish. Why can't one say that?
Shades of Tom Friedman.
This is nothing compared to the virtiol in the depression era between the two parties. It's just that today we have the Internet and cable news.
Another jew for gun control, when will they ever learn.
Psycho-killer? Qu'est que c'est?
should be qu'est ce que c'est. Rusty french.
This hits on something I have been observing. It's as if people think that this is the first time this stuff has happened. People have no perspective on history. Our schools are really poor at teaching history and making people understand that there really is nothing new under the sun.
One can say that, but one would be wrong. George W. Bush has not said the "dangers" don't exist. He just hasn't leapt on the Kyoto treaty, nor has he agreed with the baseless pronouncements by leftists that the cause, if it does exist, is man-made and therefore can be fixed via the "solution" offered.
Why can't one say THAT without being called hateful?
The fact is the dems have devolved into a party of hate and do not like to deal with rationality or facts.
True!
Well you were cheated out of a good time! Here, let me fill you in:
We were confident, and we take less zoloft and prozac per captita here. We also didn't agonize all the time, b/c we're going to church once a week. Bush is not our god, just our president; at least once a week we thougt about what God wanted us to think about.
In NYC, you get the church bulletin every morning and its called the NY times ...; that church bulletin is a constant drumbeat of angst, worry, and depression. And people trust it. Why is that?
The country is split by what seem to be two mutually antagonistic and irreconcilable value systems - one urban, secular, liberal and post-modern, the other rural, religious, conservative and pre-modern.
flintlock pistols available in 1776 were entirely as concealable as a submachine gun is today and they were just as much legitimate military weapons. If you told they founding fathers that they surely must not have meant handguns in the 2nd amendment they would have laughed their asses off.... then challenged you to a pistol duel.
It's never been so. Politics has always been nasty, quite a bit nastier in the past in fact. I didn't notice Kerry challenging any of the Swift Vets to a duel, a likely outcome had charges of disloyalty and cowardice been made a couple centuries ago. And the charges would have been made far more forcefully.
A couple of these in the pocket would come in handy. Yes, the picture is a replica.
The Lafayette
A screw barrel flintlock derringer in .41 cal introduced prior to 1640 intended for close range defence shooting. This English origin derringer was made obsolete by the introduction of percussion cap derringers but was common up through mid 19th century.
