Exactly. Except, I think this is a case of the party leaving him. It's one of the problems with the kook-left have such influence in the Democratic party. The Kook-Left will drive out more Democrats like Lieberman. Moveon.org made the famous statement "They Owned the Democratic Party" and it sure seems like they do. The Sane Democratic Party of JFK, Bill Clinton is dead.. This wouldn't be without precident, Reagan was orginally a Dem, but his thoughts on the matter were that he didn't leave the Democrat party, it left him.

Any thinking person should be able to see the lack of objectivity in a movie where only one side of the issue is represented. I know, I know, it's alright as long as it's the side you support, right?

It seems that movies are the new forum of the left. I guess they gave up on AM radio since the Air America strategy failed. Why should anyone view this movie as anything but propaganda? Does Gore debate the issues with someone of note who disagrees with the pablim he's spoonfeeding us? No, he hand picks certain talking points of those who think the 'the world is ending' hysteria is bunk, and recites rehearsed lines nicely, but no exchange of ideas occurs, just more dogma. After all, he's just a spokes-model for the left.

Johny, that was a tin foil reference of pure genius!

Seems like you guys are only suspicious of info if it's good for the U.S. For instance today I heard a news report that stated some detainees under U.S. supervision were fed bread and water for a time in 2003. News reports like these are embraced by those who tend to frown on the U.S. Anywhoo, it's still good news for fighting terrorism as al-Qaida is recognized as such even by the CANADIAN government!

New data recovered from al-Qaida shows they have been hurt by continued U.S. operations and the training of Iraqi security forces. Massive arrests, seizures of weapons, squeezing off of the militant's financial outlets, creating divisions within its ranks and training of Iraqi security forces have all taken their toll, documents show al-Qaida admits. It is revealed that their strategies include trying to destroy the relationship between the U.S. and the Shiites in Iraq, as well as escalating the tension between the U.S. and Iran. This links to the damning news for enemies of the U.S. In these documents they drop all pretense of the U.S. being crusaders, not using those terms at all. It's just another cheap attempt at trying to make the conflict a religious one when it is not. This is more great news for the Bush Administration, which has recently seen the top terrorist in Iraq killed, Karl Rove exonerated and it looks like a good June thus far.

Is your memory that selective? You repeatedly called me a fool for crossing pens with you. I still haven't called you anything... I picked up on twit used on others. I consider being called a LEFTY a pretty dreadful name too. I'll check to see if I missed any other good examples. Moreover, an ad hominem is no worse than cases where you've engaged in straw man attack. You know, misrepresenting a post so you can belittle it. You aren't an egregious perpetrator, but you get your digs in. I'll dig again tomorrow evening. Or perhaps you are big enough to point them out yourself? (I'm not slamming there, you might well be. I'd consider it a pleasant surprise these days!) Look Darth, I've never called you any names. You called me fool in one of your very first responses to me. Lefty is a description of a person's leanings, and is nothing like NAZI, which you used on Johnyutah. I do rarely name call, but again, I haven't called you anything. I only brought up lefty in explaining how people could think you are one, since your post info has it displayed under the "from" heading, and you Bush bash. Most people would rub those two facts together and consider you left of center. Like I said, however, I don't know what you are. You trotted out your schooling, even though it was done in a back handed way. I misrepresented nothing. I know afterward you took pains to explain how it was done to show how unlearned you are in that list of name calling that followed, but I'm not buying it. People that name drop or pedigree drop or whatever, are trying to score points with it. And here's a sample of your ranting: (Quote) Come to think of it, I've voted Republican more often than not: Arlen Spector, John Heinz, Bush the First. I never voted for Clinton, and changed my party affiliation for two presidential primaries just to vote AGAINST Cllinton and Kerry in the primaries (and for General Clark as the Democratic nominee). Of course, I've been VERY lucky: in the Atlantic and Northeast states, Republicans HAVE to be moderate in order to get elected. Moderate Republicans are the best problem solvers I know. Not like their neofascist kin. Yeah, I'm some lefty. If I'm a FAR LEFTY then you have to be a nazi-skinhead by comparison to me. In a case of fair for the goose being grist for the gander, I'm gonna call you lump you with the Skinheads and Nazis from here on out. After all, if you think the folks who vote for Spector, Todd-Whitman, and other clear-headed Moderate Republicans, you'd HAVE to be a fascist to call them FAR LEFT. Lynched anybody lately? Made any human skin lampshades? Surely you've gassed somebody? If you haven't got them, I know a place that has Jack-boots, cheap (hell, you might want to buy the boots I used for Halloween '02). I don't have a brown shirt, so you'll have to dig that one up on your own. See ya round, Nazi-boy. (End Quote) A little over the top, perhaps? Don't be common like some of those around here. It's the easy low road.

Actually, no(on what most religious groups came here for). They came so they could practice their religion without interference from the state. Now the state is saying if a young teenager wants advice on where to get an abortion, the school (arm of the state) can help her and not even inform the parents of this operation being performed on their daughter. However, if she is sick, they are not allowed to do anything but give her an aspirin! No wonder Christians are wondering why they are the only ones that see something wrong with the picture. If only there was another undiscovered land to go to practice their faith without interference from the state.

Unfortunately, it's a weapon that is used for political gain. Gets the votes out. You may be right about the tolerance, but I fear we have become so tolerant, right and wrong no longer apply. A society that lives in the year of the morning after pill and the age of the Gland only lives for one or two things. Rats, am I preaching?

Damn, boy, why don't you read what I actually said regarding said education. While logic isn't what I use to earn a living, it's NOT an asset in dealing with Johnny boy, Burnsy, and their ilk. I actually mean JUST what I said: dealing with folks who lie, distort, and get their facts bassackwards are tough for me because I don't usually have to deal with such blatant examples on a day to day basis. In undergrad, I would have been docked for even acknowledging that sort of crap. In debunking neocon falsehoods and half truths, that's a REAL liability. I really DO want to get better at dealing with them, and I'm a bit out of practise. In this case, education in one field (logic) is a DISADVANTAGE in the other (pure retoric, fielding smears and lies, etc.) so I'm not pumping myself up, I'm admitting a real weakness. I beg to differ, you brought up your education in a backhanded way, along with the phrase you like to sharpen your teeth with folks like him. Who even uses language like that? If you care to disagree with someone, fine, but don't expect these kind of strategies to win any points. I will give you that you seem pretty knowledgible, however. Perhaps that's why you draw out some name calling from others who have no such knowledge from which to draw.

Is your memory that selective? You repeatedly called me a fool for crossing pens with you. I still haven't called you anything...

Uh, I think you do a lot of thinkin'. And being that the marriage legislation failed (in the senate I think), it'll go back in the closet for a couple months.

Meltdown? Is that the best you can do? Come ON, you can do better than that. Where are your spoon fed talking points? Where is your I enjoy sharpening my teeth with folks like you: I'm schooled in philosophy and logic, so dealing with your kind of BS doesn't come natural. You're a freaking posterboy for dogmatic ignorance, lies, and irrationality. Too bad I have to go to a leftist blog to practice on your mirror images amongst lefties. Oh, and do keep your head in a dark place. Heaven forbid you use your own eyes, or your own brain. You wouldn't be of any use to me at all if you did that. What's this? Anyone who feels the need to trot out his education at the slightest provocation might be feeling a little inadequate.

It says, " Left hand of God" in your signature. If you don't want people to confuse that with a left of center perspective, then use the whole phrase - In the left hand of God. That and your Bush bashing add up to what sounds like a lefty, personally I don't know what you are. If you don't think your above response to Johny was a rant then I'll leave you to your belief that everyone who disagrees with you must be a fool.

I hope it is a turning point, I just see the good with the bad. Something you apparently aren't up to. As for being on the left, I'm fairly certain I was voting Moderate Republican when you were still in diapers. If I'm a far lefty, then you must be be a skinheaded fascist who wear's pee stained sheet on conical hat every weeekend. Come to think of it, I've voted Republican more often than not: Arlen Spector, John Heinz, Bush the First. I never voted for Clinton, and changed my party affiliation for two presidential primaries just to vote AGAINST Cllinton and Kerry. Of course, I've been VERY lucky: in the Atlantic and Northeast states, Republicans HAVE to be moderate in order to get elected. Moderate Republicans are the best problem solvers I know. Not like their neofascist kin. Yeah, I'm some lefty. If I'm a FAR LEFTY then you have to be a nazi-skinhead by comparison to me.

After all, if you think the folks who vote for Spector, Todd-Whitman, and other clear-headed Moderate Republicans, you'd HAVE to be a fascist to call them FAR LEFT. Lynched anybody lately? Made any human skin lampshades? Surely you've gassed somebody? See ya round, Nazi-boy. Geez, what is it with this guy? Maybe you should turn you ranter off for a while. When your identification with the left is in your own info at the side of ALL YOUR POSTS (left hand of god) don't be surprised if people call you a lefty. Just FYI

Name calling only shows a lazy imagination, with a name like darth Buddha I'm sure you can do better.

I just heard that montgomery Burns was banned and I wanted to express my disappointment if this is true. Some on the left hate him outright, and I have seen some try to goad him into stepping over the line I think. People play such silly games.

I'm really disappointed to hear Burns was punted, it doesn't seem fair although I don't know the details. I know I saw him being completely goaded several times recently, and I pointed it out to the twit who was doing it, maybe they were trying to get him kicked out.

I think he went to support the new gov. and to support the troops. I don't give a rats ass what the MSM or the typical lefty thinks since it's always the same old same old with them. You can bet the majority of troops over there are stepping a little bit lighter now. IMO, that's what it's all about. They've got the job from hell and anything that can help them is a big success in my books.

Teddy I am shocked! SHOCKED!! To think that they have to suffer under such a heavy torture master like the Canadian justice system. Seriously, I believe they are just following the steps as laid out by their comrades in Gitmo and other places. Step one is always claim torture. All the better if you can work up some rug burns or the old snake bite. I'm sure the claims will get more outlandish as time goes by: The Koran was used as t.p., Mohammad cartoons were put up in every cell, blah, blah, blah. It won't fly this time, because Canada doesn't know how to even rough up terrorists let alone abuse them.

I think the racism they experience also has a big part in what makes someone more susceptible to the rantings of extremism. Of course the Koran talks about martyrdom and killing infidels as well. Nothing is done with such fervor as that done with religious fervor.

Have you ever heard the expression, "Assumption is the mother of all evils"? You conclude, but it's based on incomplete third hand information.

As well, 3 tons of explosive material does not equate to a pipe bomb. However, the guy still gets my nutbar rating, glad to see his friends ratted him out.

Thanks, Newbie, there's nothing like the wit and wisdom of Coulter to bring things into focus. No doubt her book will do quite well, as all of her previous books have done.

At any rate, step one in the play book for the gay activist is to scream homophobe until the media comes running. Step one for the media when the gay issue is at hand is to stick a microphone in the face of the person who's yelling it the loudest. No one analyzes the charge to see if it has any merit, the person screaming is now itself the story. And if the media person did their homework they'd discover the gay activist considers anyone who believes anything slightly different than them is a homophobe. One day I hope activists will be able to quit it with the knee jerk reactions and realize there are many out there who disagree with them but don't hate them.
