Scientists are mixing human dna with plant dna. I guess it's anything goes now that family values and religion are being tossed out as too extreme.
IMO, crist's friends are ready to buy up Cuba as soon as Fidel croaks. he's not the people's governor elect. he's the donald's governor.
"In the mold of Barak Obama."
Heard a good one yesterday.
What's the difference between Obama and God?
God doesn't think He's Obama...
The governor elect is getting a dog which is cheaper than a wife and kids.
I hope they do the right thing and grant Cuba statehood if the people so choose. That's assuming they ever get a chance to choose.
Well, I guess that explains what happened to the news media. Even snakes have more independent thought.
As hard as "we" (not you or me) are trying to get away from the Constitution, maybe that is why she had to die?

Well, it's all over and, as I had feared, the Democrats have taken control of the government. Everyone has a theory as to why it happened, but the bottom line is, conservatives don't vote for liberals, so a lot of them must have stayed home with few conservatives to vote for. Democrats claim it was a statement against the religious right. The religious right maintains that the Republican Party abandoned them, so they abandoned the party. It's not all about values voters, but the Democrat strategy of promoting pro-life, conservative Democrats paid off for them in a substantial number of key races. But you know, I'm just an average woman. I don't have a Harvard education, I'm not part of a think tank of conservative elites. All I can do is speak for myself. I did vote Republican, but I did so voting for the lesser of two evils. Whereas I had volunteered in the 2004 races, I could not, in good conscience, man the phones and ask people to vote for candidates I did not believe represented the values of faith, family, or country that I had believed the party represented in 2004. So here is my list of how the Republican Party failed me and the people of the United States of America:

There was also the Terri Schiavo murder, which has laid the groundwork for other murders of vulnerable citizens in the name of financial interests or the "letter of the law". We are a nation of laws, our leaders tell us, but the laws being made must not trump the higher law of God, or the law ceases to be law, but merely tyranny. Euthanasia is easing its way into our consciousness, and incorporating itself into our conscience like one of those internet worms that disguises itself as part of your anti-virus program.
Snip...
Torture. I don't know how much exaggeration there was regarding our treatment of Iraqi prisoners, but I do know of at least one prisoner who died as a result of his treatment. I don't think most Americans can reconcile this behavior with their self-image as a country and a people, or with their Christian conscience. It's not the kind of country we want to be. I know things go on in war that are barbaric on both sides, but I find discussions of what kind of torture and how much we're allowed to do within the law deeply disturbing. That kind of thinking is too much like the twisted kind of thinking that got Terri Schiavo killed. Torture is barbaric—period.

In The New York Times Book Review today, John Wilson wrote a version of a piece I've been seeing a lot of lately. He argued that the danger of the Christian right has been wildly overstated, offering as examples books like my Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism, Kevin Phillips American Theocracy, and the documentary Jesus Camp.
Snip...
Of course, these last few days have been distinctly unhappy ones for the Christian nationalists, and I certainly feel far more optimistic than I did a year ago. When I finished Kingdom Coming, Ted Haggard was still a leading spokesman for the sanctity of heterosexual marriage, critics of Mel Gibson's anti-Semitism were being dismissed as paranoid Christophobes, Ralph Reed was better known for his association with the Christian Coalition than with Indian casinos and Jack Abramoff, Tom DeLay was ruling the House and the Senate was being led by a man who purported to diagnose Terri Schiavo via cable TV. On Tuesday, some of the movement's Congressional stalwarts fell, including Rick Santorum and John Hostettler. Ohio gubernatorial candidate Ken Blackwell, one of the politicians most closely associated with Christian nationalism, was annihilated. Most heartening of all were the ballot initiative victories -- abortion in South Dakota, gay marriage in Arizona, stem cells in Missouri -- that both rejected fundamentalism and helped neutralize right-wing demagoguery about activist judges.

Reagan on Terri's Legacy??? Really????
Now spending is out of control. Rather than rolling back government, we have a new $1.2 trillion Medicare prescription drug benefit, and non-defense discretionary spending is growing twice as fast as it did in the Clinton administration. Meanwhile, Social Security is collapsing while rogue nations are going nuclear and the Middle East is more combustible than ever. Yet Republican lawmakers have taken up such issues as flag burning, Terri Schiavo and same-sex marriage.
Republicans must go back to Reagan's roots

Mr. Bush's 2005 Social Security juggernaut came apart because he neglected nuts and bolts when he built it. Since then, wars aside, it has been all noise and lights. Intervention in Terri Schiavo's death and approving a fence that's not as long as the border were both examples of how to take a quick shot at a target of opportunity without materially changing anything. And so the time has passed.

What can Republicans do while the Democrats attempt to run the House? Roll over and revel in the fact that their in the minority? No. There is a school of thought by Dick Armey and others that this leadership lost its way when it spent more time on social conservative issues like gay marriage and forgot about the libertarians and economic conservatives--camps where more and more independents are headed these days. The high water mark of this movement was Terry Schiavo-where congress got involved when many felt they should not have.

Another one of those tragic medical mix-ups. It was Teddy who needed the lobotomy.
Can lawyers debate the butchering of innocent children while keeping a straight face, and a settled stomach? The answer, apparently, is "almost." At least that's what I saw from my center seat at the Supreme Court arguments Wednesday on partial birth abortion. I came away with three observations.

At this time, when feelings run high, the world seems crazy, and anger seems to be the one thing the peoples of the world have in common, I invite you, my fellow FReepers, to join me in prayers and meditation for guidance, God's help and for our fellow man, for America, our troops, and all our own needs.

Really great analysis! One of the best I've read
since the debacle.
If any one will go to jail remains to be seen but she was tortured for 13 days and died of murder. The fact that there was such a large law enforcement present should really scare koolaid drinkers. The media didn't really show how many cops there really were there. That's how key it was that Terri was murdered. The new world order globalists were counting on it. They got what they wanted. Knowledge isn't power. Money is power.
We have heard literally scores of Democrat pols and bloggers spit out Terri's name as if it were a curse. They treat the whole matter reflexively and never bother to make an argument at all. They don't present facts (and usually don't know the facts). They don't reason. They just take it for granted that everybody agrees with them it was wrong to butt into Michael Schiavo's private murder.
None of them could answer my simple question after the autopsy report ruled out bulimia (and any other known natural causes for her injuries). What DID happen to Terri? She was healthy and almost certainly asleep. Then Michael came home. Then suddenly she was on the floor face down, in cardiac arrest, almost dead and permanently disabled with severe brain damage. Michael knows what happened. He should tell the truth. It weighs heavily on him.
