Thanks for the ping!
Bump!
AH! Life in the fastlane. :-)
Honorable people can have honest political differences. And we should strive for civility and intellectual integrity in our debates.
Tell it to Howard Dean, Dick Durbin, John Murtha, The junior senator from NY (for that matter the senior senator also)
The elephant in the room that was not discussed is illegal immigration. It won't disappear by pretending it is not there.
Too kind, by half! At least real Bullsh!t!! has a legitimate use. Blackbird.
bttt
Bin Laden is offering us a "long-term truce on fair conditions," and we aren't even going to take a peek at his conditions? How dare the president ridicule and reject him?

Good point. And the GOP itself could disappear by pretending its not there.
There's no reason to elect a party that ignores the law and refuses to enforce it.
It's a shame they can't be prosecuted.
There, NOW it's true!
If Karl Rove doesn't yet recognize that the DemocRATS and the ENEMEDIA ARE the enemy from within, doing all they can do to lose this war and destroy this country,then he isn't as smart as I thought he was.
"Honorable people can have honest political differences. And we should strive for civility and intellectual integrity in our debates."
Now this is true, but other than Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller, I haven't witnessed any Democrats that are honorable or who have integrity of any kind. Their politicizing of this war makes every one of them guilty of TREASON!
"Let me stipulate a few important things. Our opponents are our fellow citizens, not our enemies. Honorable people can have honest political differences. And we should strive for civility and intellectual integrity in our debates..."
(and not behave like animals and traitors as many of our opponents do...)
Another great editing job Jan! ;*)
I often think about the 'rats and those in cahoots with the enemy within and wonder "WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKING?!?!?!
Surely, they can't all be idiots. Misinformed? Unenlightned? Lied to? Or cowards that dare not accept the truth has consequences?
I wonder how many of them truly understand our enemy.... they way they think, their rationale, their ideology and what their goals are. If given the chance, if they were enlightened with the truth, surely some would be brave enough to join our ranks and make a stand.
I would like to hope so anyway.
Let the light shine on.
"Misinformed? Unenlightned? Lied to? Or cowards that dare not accept the truth has consequences?"
Marx didn't invent the great divide, he exploited it. That mirror image opposite IS THE TRUTH to them. It's no accident that in democracies, the vote between left and right is split almost 50/50.
Half are AC the other half are DC. Just IMHO? No, there's a biological foundation for this. I'll freepmail it to you when I find it again.
(It could be something as simple as an element missing in the water they drink LOL!)
Here we go:
They are ALIENS!
Identifying alien organisms in more equable settings would be a much harder challenge, especially if they use the same basic molecules as familiar life - nucleic acids and proteins. But there is one sure-fire giveaway. The building blocks of proteins, called amino acids, are all lopsided in the same distinctive way. Viewed in a mirror, these "left-handed" amino acids would appear right-handed. Such mirror-image molecules exist, but the life forms we are familiar with don't use them. Most biochemists think it is just an accident that "life as we know it" selected the left-handed version. If this supposition is correct, then there is a 50-50 chance that alien life would have picked the opposite handedness. Such "anti-life" would eat "anti-food": right-handed amino acids and other mirror molecules. This offers a simple way to filter out known life from anything alien. Prepare a culture medium of anti-food and see if anything flourishes. Of course it's a long shot, but it is easy to try, and scientists at the Marshall Space Flight Center are now testing the response of microbes from various extreme environments to a bowl of anti-soup.

I have wondered the same thing USF. Sadly, most of them are so blinded by their hatred of President Bush, they are unable to really "see" the truth. They put their political agenda over what's best for this Country. I will NEVER understand that. After September 11th there were some that did have their eyes opened to the truth...but not nearly enough of them.
"Let the light shine on."
Indeed.
"And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." John 1:5
LOL.... now all we need is a quick and unobtrusive way to detect their presence. Oh wait... all they need to do is open their mouths and spew their venom!
