We need to clean our own house first.

If my kid steals, I will deal with that first. I don't want to hear how the kid down the block got caught stealing also.

Jesus did not say: "Go and sin until your neighbor sins no more."

Oh stop! Lott did not steal or break any of the other commandments (including love thy neighbor) he voiced a political opinion which is not entirely invalid (although some is invalid.)

States rights is an intellectually defensible position and so is the right to freedom of association. This country has made an accomodation of race at the expense of the constitution. This was a good thing but it was an intellectually dishonest thing. (Don't forget this last when you flame)

Don't make me pretend to a intellectual dishonesty to balm your conscience.

You are a racist.

Now, prove that you're not.

That's exactly what they are doing to Trent Lott(did to Judge Pickering, et al). It works EVERY TIME they use it.
