Republicans decry service as partisan [LOTT WALKED OUT!!]

This really hits home with me being as a relative of mine just died in August back east, as he lived out in CA for most of his life they had a memorial service for him in CA but he was buried back east with his family. The service was held in a church with a preacher and a small eulogy. No one was laughing but many of the people were crying and no one was slapping my cousin on the back and telling her how great her husband was. This whole event was staged by the DNC and it stinks to high heaven.

Scott Libin, news director at KSTP-TV, Channel 5,said: "I don't think we could responsibly decide in advance not to cover this and I don't think we could courteously leave it while in the middle of it,"

This was a perfectly "Manipulative DemoncRATic Exercise. They knew it beforehand, knowing the TV cameras could never pull away/turn the cameras off. That Scumbag McAWFULiffe and #42 are really shrewd S.O.B.'s.

Lilly Goren, chairwoman of the Political Science Department at the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul: "I don't know that it was excessively partisan..."

Proving the axiom "those who can't do, teach".

Ah, you have it, American Mother. Well, I hope you are in a position to teach!!

Lots of people don't like Browning but he has some awfully good things. This is one of them.

II. At the meal we sit together:
Salve tibi! I must hear
Wise talk of the kind of weather,
Sort of season, time of year:
Not a plenteous cork-crop: scarcely
Dare we hope oak-galls, I doubt:
What's the Latin name for ``parsley''?
What's the Greek name for Swine's Snout?
It's great.

I teach occasionally -- used to be an adjunct professor in the local law school, I still sub in to my daughter's school to teach Ancient Greek, beekeeping, points of the horse, and similar arcane matters. (g) I was a history major undergraduate and that's still my first love, but law is pretty neat too. (Not all lawyers are bad. When I had to get an arthrogram on my knee -- this was before MRIs -- the doc asked me what I did for a living. I said, "I don't know if this is the time or place to reveal this, but I'm a lawyer." He yelled to the nursing assistant . . . "Hey, Charlie! Get the BIG needle! The RUSTY one!" I said, "Hey wait a minute, I don't sue doctors, I defend them!" (true). He replied, "Oh, they ALL say that when they get here." ) ;-D

Browning is a little uneven but his best work is wonderful. Bunch of nice ones here, this one's a good one:

I guess you did not see the sarcasm in my post.

That's an excellent link - there's more there if you look around. A lot of those poets are strangely unread these days, when, I think, they might provide some comfort to people.

Someone wrote: "Whenever I read of some new thing, I go to see which ancient writer said it before", or something like that. Probably a conservative.

I've only ever had good experiences with lawyers. Usually when you need a lawyer you need a lawyer, and they can do some pretty powerful things - get your child back, protect you - so it's worth some money, but people envy them the money they make. Hence the anti-lawyer stuff. (And then hysterical lynch mobs don't care for them either.)

Good find, good post.

Here is what I posted on my first Vanity thread:

A Call to Arms – Well, to the ballot box next Tuesday, anyway.

I was unaware of the spectacle the Democrats made of themselves last night until I listened to Rush today. I have never heard him declare himself speechless – he admitted he did not have the words to describe the despicable behavior of the Democrats last night at Senator Wellstone's "memorial service."

Sean Hannity was likewise in high dungeon.

I don't want to dwell on the content of (as one of Sean's callers referred to it) "The 2002 Democrat National Convention." What struck me is the opportunity we conservatives have to take back the Senate, big time, as a result of the foolish behavior of the Democrat Party last night.

Here is the point of this little vanity (my first, BTW): The Democrats generated a considerable amount of anger by their churlish behavior last night. Let's translate this anger into Conservative votes next Tuesday.

Sean, having played the audio suggesting that the Democrats should "Win this one for Paul," noted that the Republican rallying cry for Tuesday should be "Win another one for the Gipper."

I think that is a hellofagoodidea!

So, following up on the "Broken Glass Republican" thread, and armed with the certain knowledge that the Democrat Party is a "Clear and Present Danger" to the survival of this Constitutional Republic, let's vow to vote these idiots out of office Tuesday.

The most important thing you can do is ensure that YOU vote next Tuesday. The second most important thing you can do between now and next Tuesday is work to defeat Democrats by organizing a local "Get out the (Republican) Vote" campaign, and ensuring that those who promise to vote the Liberal/Socialist/Marxist low life Bastards out of office get to the polls and do just that.

Contact your local Republican Committeeman/woman and volunteer to make phone calls, set up car pools to your local precinct and whatever else comes to mind to get out Republican voters to the polls..

And your "hook" to energize the voters, particularly those "naysayers" who think their vote does not count, is to briefly describe the despicable behavior of the Democrats at Senator Wellstone's memorial service. One speaker (I believe it was Senator Harkin) practically recited the Communist Manifesto as he described the Socialist agenda the Democrat Party stands for today. I'm doing this from memory (and I was driving on I-95, so I had to divide my attention), but I believe I heard Senator Harkin urge the country to vote Democrat for "Social and Economic Justice." He also urged a Democrat vote for "race, gender, ethnicity and sexual identity" equality.

Those of you who listened to Rush and Sean today will be able to fill in the "rest of the story."

Let me give you just one instance where you can make a difference in the projected outcome of a Senate race: West Virginia went for George W. Bush by 250,000 votes in the 2000 Presidential election. If those 250,000 voters go to the polls on Tuesday and vote for Jay Wolfe, they will retire one of the Liberal/Socialist/Marxist Bastards I referred to in a preceding paragraph.

If West Virginia, why not every state/congressional district where there is a contested Senate or House seat?

Let's Roll!

I think the media has a lot to do with it (reading about the big verdicts, and NEVER reading the follow-up revealing that a motion for new trial or JNOV resulted in a substantial reduction -- there is a system in place for dealing with runaway juries, and it generally works well, except in Alabama, which does not have an effective review of excessive verdicts).

Also, the perception that criminal defense lawyers "get the guy off on a technicality" annoys people. But the system of "war to the knife" and making the State prove its case works much, much better than the Continental system, where the prosecutor, judge and defense counsel are all in cahoots -- much easier for people to get railroaded in that sort of system. Occasionally, just occasionally, somebody looks guilty & isn't, and the English system will uncover that fact. Nobody ever even considers that possiblity in the Continental courts.
