Just following your lead Sabertooth.
BTW, I just ignore them, but I follow your tactics and all the sudden you are going to press the abuse button. Can someone say hypocrisy.
Didn't realize you were on the list. I'll be happy to remove you. However, you aren't "following (my) lead" at all. I don't flag you specifically to a thread you haven't been to, in order to post a false, off-topic flame about you. This is what you've done here. You'd have embarrassed yourself, had you the capacity for shame.
Once again, you say "Hispanic bashing." In this, you may as well be a Democrat, in that you routinely use the race card as a first resort. Most people in America are opposed to Illegals. Many of those you look up to in this forum do as well, even if they don't feel as strongly as I do. I'm sure you wouldn't call all of them "Hispanic bashers," because somewhere a flickering, 15w mental light bulb illuminates to you that anti-Illegal does not equal anti-immigrant, and does not equal racist.
Doesn't matter, you can't resist the cheap shot.
As for the abuse button, I'm having sincere concerns for your reading comprehension. I didn't say I would hit the abuse button on you, I said "You've violated the FR posting guidelines, and I hope he (another poster) doesn't hit the abuse button, as I won't. I'd like this little spew of yours to remain on display."
You see? I said precisely the opposite of what you claimed I did. Not especially surprising, given you penchant for misrepresentation.
And yes, I can say "hypocrisy." I can also punctuate a sentence. However, "hypocrite" is not a word that comes to my mind in describing you. You'd need to be substantially more coherent to manage hypocrisy.
Bill Clinton's appointees do dominate the court and steer its leftist agenda. He named 14 of the 9th Circuit's 24 "active" judges, court documents reveal. However, none of the three judges involved in this decision are Clintonites.
Richard Nixon appointed Goodwin, and Jimmy Carter appointed concurring Justice Stephen Reinhardt. G.H.W. Bush appointed the dissenting judge, Ferdinand F. Fernandez.
In the nation's first ruling of its kind, the appeals court said that when President Dwight Eisenhower signed the 1954 legislation, he wrote that "millions of our school children will daily proclaim in every city and town, every village and rural schoolhouse, the dedication of our nation and our people to the Almighty."
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that pupils may not be compelled to say the pledge. But the appeals panel claimed that any classroom pledges, even if students refuse to participate, are unconstitutional, an "unacceptable choice between participating and protesting."
"Although students cannot be forced to participate in recitation of the pledge, the school district is nonetheless conveying a message of state endorsement of a religious belief when it requires public school teachers to recite, and lead the recitation of, the current form of the pledge," the two San Francisco judges fretted.
In a partial dissent, Justice Fernandez said Goodwin and Reinhardt went too far in trying "to drive all tincture of religion out of the public life of our polity."
No but GOD can. I'm no religious freak, but without Good there can be no evil. You need to read a little Dostoevsky.
That's right, if we want to save America!
