There is a subtle difference between a mule and a Democrat regarding heirs: The mule is biologically incapable of producing heirs, the Democrat systematically kills their heirs.
He probably thought that church-going folks would see that and think, "he's one of us!"
Which shows his contempt for the intelligence of Joe Average out here in TV-land.
The only mistake is that the writer assumed that President Bush "won" all the 11 states that passed gay marriage bans. Not true: President Bush lost both Oregon and Michigan and STILL those states passed the bans by comfortable margins. (It must have been those "homophobic Democrats" who helped these measures pass! /sarcasm.)
"One Sunday in Florida he went to church three times"
dats what you call 'Shake & Bake' style of gettin religion...
BTTT
Mad greenie bump!
Looks interesting. I will bookmark.
Since this starts off with a mention of the Church, I wonder what will happen when JPII dies ? (Sometimes I think "if" he ever dies....) It would be truly wonderful if a new conservative got into power, as opposed to some elderly "mule" who has been around long enough and accumulated enough influence to get into the top slot, and thereby slow down the conservative renewal of the Church for another pontificate. Of course, the Church may sink under Islam before then.
I think Bush and Howard realize that this is a race against time, and we don't have the leisure to fiddle around while Islam is breathing down our necks.
The Aussies don't need guns to defend themselves mate!
"I'm not a mad greenie or anything but I just love rain."
That kid has a bright future if he keeps that attitude. Conservation is something that conservatives everywhere should be looking at. I voted for Bush and I'm definately an enviromentalist. Theres a balance to be struck but liberals aren't even willing to look at balance.
BUMPping
The thing I think everyone overlooks is how your views may change as you get older. I know mine have definitely gotten more to the right as I got older. When I first voted at 18, I could have voted for a Democrat. Now at 50, I now find it extremely hard to vote for a Democrat because their values definitely are at odds with mine. So you've got to figure that the percentages of the <30 crowd are going to change as they get older.
I beg to differ.
Kerry also wanted people to believe he was a hunter and supported the 2nd Amendment because we saw him posing with a gun on tv. More contempt for the intelligence of Joe/Jane Average American.
This was an excellent anaylsis piece from our friends down under.
"Bluff" here is precisely the word. Part of the reason the left tends to react with such strident hysteria and sneering condescension when opposed in these matters is that deep down they know perfectly well that only a combination of bluff and bullying will maintain their intellectual dominance. They can take satisfaction that voters do not follow their dictates in the comforting and erroneous assumption of their own superiority, but find democracy an irksome inconvenience, to be disposed of at first opportunity. This is why no socialist government ever is truly democratic in any real sense.
What did Zell Miller say?? The party left me. Keep it up stupid Dems.
I'd hope that they get that right restored. I think that, like in the US, a rightward movement is underway in Australia.
Hehe...that's true. I was a moderate conservative at age 14. I am now a pretty staunch conservative. By age 40 I will probably be a nutcase far-right wacko...
