Presidents appoint judges. Even Bush: link

What a poor bumbling fool. Nothing like ignorance in power.

THIS ( above) was the right decision.

Harper has only echoed Bush as of late and I think you know what Bush's America is worth around the world.

Uh, try changing the bloody channel. There are worse things your tax dollars are buying.

You folks still think removing the impotent Saddam was a wise decision?

What a lot of you folks are advocating is censorship. And how about violence, drugs and guns? Do you really want to go down that road?

Well, let's wait and see how many pills reach Africa under Harper and Clement. I'm not holding my breath, given Harper's complete avoidance of the issue and conference. There is the shame Betsy. He's the leader now.

There has been a lot of controversy over showing condom use as well. It is said that promotes promiscuity as well. So which do you prefer? Promiscuity or Aids.

Ask the Pope. He seems to have all the answers. link

And drink beer and drive and......

How low are you willing to drop that number - 9 year olds, 8, 7,..........

Betsy will be pleased to hear this.

Hicksey, in case you forgot it was the Liberals who sent soldiers to Afghanistan.

gnam, I refer you again to Einstein's last quote. It sums up what he believes and doesn't believe quite nicely. Your post went off on a Spinoza tangent. Read my post again.

Anyone can quote Einstein. Here are some that contradict your "atheist" theory. My favourite is the last quote. My religiosity consists of a humble admiration of the infinitely superior spirit that reveals itself in the little that we can comprehend about the knowable world. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God. My comprehension of God comes from the deeply felt conviction of a superior intelligence that reveals itself in the knowable world. In common terms, one can describe it as 'pantheistic' (Spinoza). Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe -- a spirit vastly superior to that of man . . . In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support of such views. http://ic.net/~erasmus/RAZ527.HTM

So God put Bush in power?? How about Hitler? Saddam? Clinton???

As a liberal minded person, let me be the first to welcome you to this forum Frances. You'll fit in just fine here.

When was the last filibuster? And how many have there been during Bush's government? And how many vetoes?

Silence from the right wing Christian leaders. That can't be good. link

Interesting. The Pope has spoken out against the war in Iraq, so who do Catholic soldiers follow? Pope is also against Israel in the mideast conflict. Catholics in Isreal: duck and cover.

So does sexually abusing little innocent children, but the Bishops just used to move Priests around until they got caught. Yeah, it's a great organization.

I was wondering when Hitler was going to come up.

And if I am a Christian I'm not allowed to question authority of the "holy" book, or have my own interpretations? Just because you cannot prove anything you say (other than with a book that hasn't been proven) does not make your arguement and more valid or true than what I have to say.You say I can't understand "it." Please start a biblical thread. I'd love to go verse and chapter with you.

Thanks for the voice of reason and compassion, sadly lacking in the right-wing camp.
