Duh... what was I thinking? Habit.

[bwteim]

Your welcome - not my words, though.

It was a great oped. Words to keep.

[MarkLevinFan]

Hey, where's the Hannity thread?

[CDB]

Thanks! Great piece, AV.

[RasterMaster]

Sorry, calling for Rummy's head isn't supporting the WOT. Joe is a POS LIEberal, nothing more. He'll go leftward, just like he's doing now that his seat is in danger, just to appeal to the kook fringe.

[ct_libertarian]

Raster,

I respect your opinion.
Being that you live in Oklahoma, according to your profile, I will concede that I know nothing of OK politics.
However I will also acknowledge that you know nothing of CT politics.
That being said, and agreeing to disagree, please take your flame-bait elsewhere.

Thank you.

[RasterMaster]

Flame bait?

I'm fireproof.

[ct_libertarian]

Cool.
Like your tagline, BTW.

[RasterMaster]

By the way, I'm a transplanted Yankee, so I do have knowledge beyond OK politics. OK GOP wanted to keep sending "good ol' boys" to D.C. who to me seemed like squishy moderate metrosexuals.

Didn't fly with grassroots, so Tom Coburn was encouraged to run (glad to have representation I can agree with). No one is going to get a hardliner like I'd want in office, so I settle with a good conservative pork buster instead.

I know it's harder to do that in CT, or east coast states but the south was once an impenetrable DUmocrat fortress.

Freepers meeting at 10:30 for brunch at McFadden's, Second Avenue and 42nd Street. It's going to be a big rally, so this will allow us to find one another. I'll ping the chapter, or maybe start up a thread.

[ct_libertarian]

You got out!
Good for you!

I gotta agree with you to a point about Lieberman.
It really ticked me off when he called for Rumsfeld's head too.
And, yes, it was pure politicking to the kook left, who were actively taking reprisals on him for running independent.

But I really don't see where we have a choice up here.
I'm serious when I tell you that Schlessinger doesn't stand a chance.
It's pathetic, he's barely registering.
So this election it truly is a choice between the lesser of the two evils.
I know that, my wife knows that: She HATES Lieberman.
She hates even more that she's left with no other choice but to vote for him.

A vote for Schlessinger is a vote for Lamont which is a vote for a voice for Soros in the Senate.
A vote for Lieberman, as distasteful as that is, is a vote against Soros.
I know you don't agree with our point of view on this and I really wish we had a viable conservative to put in the Senate.
But we don't.

More than anything else I think we are p*ssed off and frustrated that we are left with such a crappy choice.

[RasterMaster]

"...crappy choice"

Hopefully some time in the near future a few thousand grassroots conservatives can get out and change that!

[ct_libertarian]

Don't see that happening.
Been trying to convince the wife for some time that it's time to leave.
We've been looking at the Salt Lake area, for the skiing.
I'd prefer FL or TX for the taxes.
CT, however, is hopeless.
3 elections now I've voted against Dodd.
Corrupt as hell, everyone knows it, still in office.
Bloviating more than ever.
I will agree with you on this, Raster, CT sucks!

[SuziQ]

Chaffee is in a state that is overwhelming Democrat. RI is a HUGH Union state, and even faithful Catholics, like my late Aunt, thought the Democrats were the greatest. Blows my mind.

Chaffee will have some clout in the General based on his being a Repub. in the Senate under a Repub. majority.

[Roccus]

Oh, it's stolen alright. Was it yours?

[Dajjal]

Was just listening to the third hour at RushLimbaugh.com, and in the first segment he says that he is a pantheist! While talking about the environment and the oil supply, Rush says that it is his belief that "Nature is God." I kid you not.

[MNJohnnie]

He was being sacastic. He was mocking the Enviormetalist movement that believes "god is nature".

[Excellence]

The most important un-decided group for this election? The terrorists.

[Dajjal]

He was being sacastic. He was mocking the Enviormetalist movement that believes "god is nature".

I don't think so. His Christian theology is shaky at best. (Remember the Good Friday when he proclaimed that Good Friday was "the happiest" of all Christian Holy Days?)

My guess is that he was trying to invoke the Founding Fathers' "Nature's God" and it got turned around into "Nature is God."

The context was that he was contrasting his belief to that of the environmentalist wackos. So even if he was trying to mock them as you suggest, it came out wrong.

And remember, he's the one who always insists that "words mean things" even as he splits his infinitives. (Which is itself a diluted version of Richard Weaver's dictum that "Ideas have consequences.")
