-------------------- THE REVOLUTION NEEDS FUNDING So I have to take a Sociology course in order to graduate. Today the prof invited some group to come and talk to us. I thought it was going to be PETA, but instead it's something called the Ohio Worker's... [Hell In A Handbasket] 8:06:16 PM

-------------------- Whining About Patriotism Steyn is right when he said Kerry was using him as a "mascot". He has ol' Max out stumping (Yeah! Pun intended. I'm a heartless bastard!) for him to try to make the Dimocrats seem like a party of war heroes. Remember, it was the Dimocrats who brought up this Viet Nam thing. They didn't want to talk about it for eight years while they had a fucking draft dodger as the head of their party. Now all of a sudden Viet Fucking Nam is important again.

-------------------- Humpty Dumpty Logic The Massachusetts Supreme Court has not yet declared that "day" shall now be construed to include that which was formerly known as "night," but it might as well. By declaring that homosexual couples are denied their constitutional rights by being forbidden to "marry," it is treading on the same ground. Do you want to know whose constitutional rights are being violated? Everybody's. Because no constitution in the United States has ever granted the courts the right to make vast, sweeping changes in the law to reform society. Regardless of their opinion of homosexual "marriage," every American who believes in democracy should be outraged that any court should take it upon itself to dictate such a social innovation without recourse to democratic process. 7:41:26 AM

-------------------- Know Thy Enemy: Canada OK....lets find out once and for all if the Canadian's have a sense of humor or if it's just the French-Canadian's that can't take a joke? This list would be classified as a hate crime in Canada. [IMAO] 7:01:35 AM

-------------------- The Mother of all........ I like to watch storms as they parade across the Pacific.  The Internet has made it so easy and gives so many choices of satellite views.  I have not seen one like this in a lot of years.  The center is huge and it is much more tightly wound than most.  If it was centered over the middle of the country it would stretch from Canada to Mexico. This is one of my favorite IR views.  If you have a high speed connection you can click on the link at the top and see the last 6 hours in action.  This is another favorite. 6:39:12 AM

-------------------- What the Pakistanis think of our search for OBL I guess it's the religion of peace as long as you are willing to subjugate yourself to whatever the mullahs tell you. Otherwise, there's no peace for you - more likely a death by multiple rock trauma. ...or a MOAB.  [Blackfive - The Paratrooper of Love] I wonder if Kerry voted against the MOAB?  How silly of me - of course he did - it's a military weapon!  I have a feeling the MOAB is going to get a lot of use in this war.  CP 5:18:04 AM

-------------------- Bush's Call for Gay Marriage Ban Sets Nation Abuzz President Bush called for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriages, setting off a nationwide discussion on the issue. No matter where you tuned in today, whether it was Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, network news or cable news shows people were talking about the issue of gay marriage. Oddly enough, the momentum behind a move toward a constitutional amendment may have been caused by the marriage licenses being offered in San Francisco (and for a short time in New Mexico). The obvious illegality of the licenses being offered in San Francisco seems to have ignited a fire under a large segment of the population that has, until now, been willing to let politicians and the courts determine what is legal and what is not. The anarchy in San Francisco, however, played into the hands of the anti-gay marriage crowd who have been arguing that allowing gay marriages will lead to societal decay. President Bush offered a compromise which will appeal to voters still on the fence over the issue of gay marriage: The amendment should fully protect marriage while leaving the state legislatures free to make their own choices in defining legal arrangements other than marriage. Congressional leaders stated that there is no rush to implement Bush's call with legislation. Public pressure may change that, though. With multiple surveys placing opposition to gay marriage at or above two-thirds of the population, politicians will need little additional impetus to pass such legislation.

-------------------- Julie gets it right. passion or panic?  Viewers are enthralled, and critics are acidic. The more viewers of Mel Gibson's movie support what was done by Gibson and say the movie would change lives...the more critics shoot back with the following methods which would never be done for any other offensive movie out there.  [Julie Neidlinger] 4:57:35 AM

-------------------- Apparently, you're a Bigot if you oppose the concept of the Judiciary dictating law to an equal branch of government. It's just not right, you see, you're biased. You're discriminating. You're a [cause here]-ophobe. [Capitalist Lion] 4:51:32 AM
