Is it reasonable to threaten a public temper tantrum because people disagree with you? I say that is no voice of reason.
Very good. Except I am not so sure about majoritarian process. The judges are produced by politicians who are elected by majoritarian processes, and the blind judge was elected and reelected directly.
It is indeed the conflict between man-made law and Divine Law, but a majoritarian process produces man-made law also. The Left embraces man-made law because it is fundamentally a statist idea.
Think. Sometimes it takes time, as information develops, to put two and two together. For years, people believed a different lie by Michael, that Terri "collapsed" out of some exotic affliction which has never been explained or medically corroborated, and which is statistically preposterous. Not until we get past that falsehood does the Schiavos' fight back in 1990 become important.
>> I'm supposed to believe this woman?
Why on earth not? It is a perfectly believable human story and and it dovetails with others' observations.
It also fits statistics. Domestic violence is the most common cause of death or severe injury to healthy young women.
>> How come the doctors didn't say a f***ing thing about this being caused by abuse?
That's an easy one. Michael concealed the bone scan, which would have provided a "perfect defense" for the doctors he sued. The bone scan report was not discovered until 2002, ten years after the fraudulent malpractice suit.
>> Sorry, there is no evidence of that, aside from a deposition solicited by the Schindlers' lawyer, and Gibbs has, IMNHO, engaged in enough chicanery...
Of course there's evidence -- his wife's broken and now dead body is rather poignant evidence. A deposition is also good evidence. And yes, Michael did tell that lie to the investigating police, it's on the record.
My habit is to return fire when fired upon. Don't like it? Then avoid the nasty remarks to me.

So? They've undoubtedly been watching for years.
Good. Maybe they will learn some things. Granted, you have to put some "truth" and "bigot" filters in place when scanning through some of the posts, many posters here have actually helped get at some of the truth the mainstream media and authorities missed until days later, or deliberately didn't report because they were too lazy to dig deeply enough from their cushy offices or it didn't fit their agenda to mold the opinions of the American people.
Major stories have been broken here.
Several freepers have picked up on some things that everybody else missed.
And there is stuff on here that is raw human emotion. I've seen plenty of that on the other side, too. We are all human, after all, those of us that aren't diagnosed as vegetables yet.
Hope you're saying that when you try to get on an airplane, or get pulled over.
Aren't you supposed to be preparing for your major temper tantrum now?
Don't you have more people's religious beliefs to spit upon?
What are you going to do, call everyone who believes in God a very bad name???
I can't wait to see it. Perhaps I should cancel my dinner plans and stick around.
I am certain as a "spokesperson" for the GOP the "religious right" deserves a good stomping by you.
You're exactly right. Genuine Christians, who are thoughtful, mannered, refrain from ad hominems and insults, however, are people I can agree with.
Aren't you glad you are so much better than we ignorant knaves, oh great one?
For what, refusing to be intimidated into silence? I don't plan on ever getting on an airplane again as I'm afraid of flying and don't want my stuff in my purse stolen and not returned.
I do know better than to mouth off when I am pulled over on the very rare occasions I have been and humbly submit to their authority. I am kind of afraid they will shoot me or something if I get the wrong one on a lonely dark road at night.
Most of my experiences with law enforcement have been positive, and I helped them solve a murder case. And believe you me, you have to be damn careful if you give them helpful information that they won't use your phone to try to find out if a criminal is home when your relative has given them the information they need for an arrest warrant. Caller ID and all that.
Joe, you're not ignorant.
You only play ignorant on Free Republic.
For participating in a forum that went way the hell over the top in terms of acceptable discourse. Guess what? When people talk about judges meeting "fatal accidents" and such, the authorities tend to not be very humorous about it. And they tend to look rather dimly on those who associate with those people.
Sweetie, you'd better have the cleanest damn underwear in all history if you're ever in an accident.
Right, if I were merely ignorant and not truly evil then I would occasionally make a mistake in your favor.
I have thought about the other. There are some nice, decent human beings who hang out here. When they all leave, I'll leave, too. The regular newsgroups are much worse. They say terrible things about people like us, religious conservatives, call us bigots, fanatics, blaspheme God, can't wait until the pope is dead (say much worse than that about him) threaten to turn people into their isp's when they don't like what they say, death threats, seriously crazy people, and even try to find out where people live and either stalk them, offer money to have their kids harmed, turn them in to their church leaders, use filthy language, etc., none of which is allowed here. I must have forgotten a lot of things. I haven't seen anything that bad here 'cuz the mods are smart enough to flush that kind of stuff.
That is not going to scare me away. There isn't any other site on the net like this one that I have found. In spite of the vitriol, I talk to some folks here who ease my loneliness and I can find common ground with on some topics.
Not for long.
That places you in the same category unless you are here to provoke people into going over the top and making threats, etc.
And now we have the standard liberal argument: "It's not my fault, he made me do it, society made me do it."
WTF ever happened to taking personal responsibility?
Yeah, I've been threatened with that, too, when I don't go along with the groupthink, which I don't always do. Then things have gone ugly for me, but I usually weather the storm. I took a real beating on the harp seal thread. I'll stay away from those for awhile.
I don't know what's got you so upset about me. Sometimes I post something and wonder if there will be a knock on my door. That doesn't stop me from posting.
I'm already on so many lists, what's one more? I am not going to live in fear the rest of my life. Once we live in fear of the government, or the opposition, we are done.
I agree. As to their being empty, tell that to the people against whom they are made. Usually they get irate rather than scared, and I haven't monitored any of the really sick groups. I kind of admire that. I would lose a couple of nights' sleep at least.
We ordinary joes can't afford private bodyguards. At least, I can't.
You haven't seen anything that bad here? I have.
