So, you believe the Constitution of the United States is window dressing?

Thomas Jefferson's faith in the basic good in people is all very nice but I actually have seen the same misplaced faith in the writtings of Mao Zedong. http://sirian.warpcore.org/smilies/lol.gif Let's try this again: Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself.

Thanks, Akula. I fixed the links. Looks like Karash's account has gone down. Before I opened my own account at Warpcore, I used to bum space off of Karash's space. I had a folder under his shell. Wow, that's going way back. For four or five years now, my account has seen more traffic than all the ot...

Fusion Pimp wrote:Why the anger and hatred toward Christianity/Christians?

You seem to allow for only two cases:
1) Christians.
2) Those who hate them.

What if somebody is neither of these?

This is the weak knee jerk no think conservative argument. Because Bush and my friends who agree with me say its true, it must be the best way. It is not. The best way to stimulate business growth is not income tax cuts. It is tax cuts in the arena of business. As a small business owner myself (and...

I would give the president EXTREME props for healing if while proposing a ban on gay marriage, he proposed a nationwide civil union recognition. Bush, ushering in a new era of protection for gays, while protecting the "marriage instituion"? Wow. But it won't happen. Right on both counts. ...

A stock liberal response, of late. Would you care to be more specific? Who and/or what, exactly, are you aiming at with that quote?

I've updated my homepage, including performing some overdue maintenance on various pages. For my Descent archive, I have hosted my own levels and missions, so they are now all available in one place.

GWB was a wild man in his younger days. He got tamed by a good wife, and perhaps by fatherhood. I don't think I know as much about Jimmy Carter's youth. Looking just at the two men while in office, I cannot say that either was immoral. Woodchip's comments about President Carter are unfair. However, ...

As Tyranny put it so eloquenty, most Americans want to kick *** and watch death and destruction on TV. Self-flattering nonsense. Liberal elitism is transparent -- to everybody except the liberals spouting it. Thomas Jefferson would be ashamed at the kinds of snobbery coming from the left, post-elec...

A conscious loan? We're not talking about the government's money here. We're talking about the people's money. When there are outstanding debts, and the interest being paid on them acts as a constant drain on resources, it does not make sense to keep spending on nonessentials. That is where we run o...

I must defend President Clinton, here. There is no way he could have done more about terrorism. His political enemies would have shredded him had he tried. In order to learn from mistakes, the mistakes have to be made in the first place. Did President Clinton make mistakes? With the benefit of hinds...

The GOP is a big tent. There's room for you there, Iceman. However, there is probably more need for you on the Democratic side. Democrats have a proud tradition and important principles. I wish you luck in your desire to "return home". Or perhaps, your longing for the party to come home to...

I will try to keep this as simple and clear as possible, for clarity's sake. Neither Reagan nor GHW Bush enjoyed a GOP majority in the House of Representatives at any time. The Dems controlled the purse strings. The only direct power the President had was the veto stamp. Looking at the raw budget nu...

Sirian vs Birdseye was much more entertaining as a Descent match. Too bad only Birds and I will ever know exactly what went on during those.

Bill O'Reilly not funny? You clearly haven't listened to him. Anyway, entertainers on the whole tend to lean left. I'm not entirely sure why, but they do. However, the media certainly leans left. The New York Times will review Al Franken's book three times, and give Kitty Kelly's hearsay hack job a ...

Ferno, I'm not disputing that people lie. Facts don't tell tales. When gathered, they form into evidence. However, presenting only some of the relevant facts can easily deceive, easily lead to faulty conclusions. It is far easier to lie with facts than it is to lie with falsehoods. The most dangerou...

Conservatives, starting with ronald reagan, have cut taxes but at the same time racked up massive deficits... spare me the fiscally conservative line. It is an outright falsehood. Brian, let's take a step back. You're a moderator here now, and you've come a long way from when I first got to know yo...

Birds, that's because President Bush has adopted the Clinton Strategy (TM). Whenever the electorate seems to lean toward the other party's proposals, come up with your own Lite version and claim the strategy as your own. Maybe Bush is a lot smarter that way than folks give him credit for. While the ...

Clinton years compared to Bush/Reagan look fiscally astute. Not thanks to Perot. Thanks to Gingrich and the Contract With America. With the GOP in charge in the Congress, fiscal discipline arose. Clinton claimed credit for it, but that was his strength, to see which way the wind was going to blow a...

The Europeans didn't need our help. Stupid Cowboy Americans, RUSHING TO WAR AS A FIRST RESORT.

If anyone can please tell me another reason for getting a marriage license other than the financial perks, please tell me. I agree with some of what you say. In spirit, at least, what consenting adults do behind closed doors is fine with me, as long as nobody is getting hurt. That's really the kick...

I voted for President Bush because I believe more in his vision and proposed policies than I did in those proposed by Senator Kerry. I also had a lot more faith in the President to keep his word. The President seems to say what he means and do what he says. Even if I had been inclined to favor the S...

The Filibuster was enshrined in the constitution for a reason. That reason was to keep the majority in power from being able to have a runaway agenda in the senate like they can in the house. That is incorrect. I refer you to The Constitution of the United States of America Here I quote the relevan...

I heard a report on television yesterday about some Republicans proposing that we change the rules in the Senate so that simple majorities can get more done. !@#$! idiots. :x We need to drag those fools into a closet somewhere and give them a good beating.

We need to campaign against these damned paperless machines so we can all have some real confidence in our election system. I agree.

Part of the problem here is that full fledged conservatives CAN win the White House. Reagan, Bush 41, Bush 43, all conservatives. The last left-wing liberal to win was President Carter, and the country went into such a tailspin during his leadership, both domestically and in foreign policy, that the...

What credit is it exactly that you think we should give Bush? You can claim "dodge" all you please. Saying it does not make it so. Maybe Lothar will patiently explain the obvious to you in meticulous detail, but I will more likely expect you to see it for yourself. And if you can't see th...

Yes, this would completely explain all those 'liberal professors'. Pathetic. Will's point is correct. Huge blocks of Democratic votes are coming out of the inner city areas. This is the answer to Ferno's question, how can all those counties lean red and Kerry still get 47-48% of the popular vote. S...

You focused a lot on the primaries, but most of America is asleep for that. Irrelevant. Those who vote have their voices counted. Those who do not vote do not get counted. It's as simple as that. The primaries are a crucial part of that process. That is where a party's candidate is selected. That i...
