Who is “us”?
churchillwasright said, 26 days ago
Well, I’m against losing a double war, I am against a jobless recovery, and what they’re pushing is actually insurance reform, so I guess I’m against the Dem party, but not, as Pett implies, the USA.
pilotx said, 26 days ago
Because we all know the Dems want to lose two wars, they don’t want anyone to have a job and they want to drive all good hearted insurance companies out of business. So un-American.
cdward said, 26 days ago
church, just to make sure I heard you right, you are against health insurance reform? Are you for health care delivery reform? Perhaps single payer? Or do you like things the way they are?

Typical Leftist view of reality. Anyone who doesn’t agree with their agenda is a nut, a psycho, an extremist, a nazi, a danger to the planet!
Let me just echo churchillwasright and call it good…
Kylop said, 26 days ago
Scott, when someone doesn’t agree with your agenda don’t you call them nuts, psychos, extremists, and a danger to the planet?
So….since you’re a leftist…how’s the work on re-electing Obama going?

I love how Scott tries to pretend he’s a historian, yet he’s already forgotten Bush’s “You’re either for us or against us!”, which he now considers a “leftist view”.

Pretty accurate toon. One might also go back a while and look at what these folks cheered for that most put the USA at risk today.

Like abandoning diplomacy?
churchillwasright said, 25 days ago
CDWARD: ”Health Care Delivery Reform”? Is that what they’re calling it now? What happened to “Health Care Reform” and “Insurance Reform”? Did I miss a segment on Fox?
Yes, I’m for “Insurance Reform”, but I’m having a hard time swallowing this 1,500 page monstrosity.

“Yes, I’m for “Insurance Reform””
Cool, Church, nice to see you’re finally abandoning the dwindling Republicans.
So what sort of “Insurance Reform” are you in favor of?
By the way, if you really are interested in what’s going on in the real world, perhaps it’s time you abandoned that dwindling Republican mouth piece, Faux “News”.

Fox news ratings are better than ever now, they are now the leading news organization in America, the Messiah’s blacklisting/censoring stunt is blowing up right in his face as we speak, and the Republican/Conservative movement/party is stronger than ever….
Jimmy Carter’s legacy has improved dramatically lately, in just a few months his chances of been dethroned as the worst President ever have improved dramatically…
How’s that change treating you now? …

Machado, you need to join the real world.
Your so-called strong Republican party now counts for less that a fifth of the populace.
And their mouth piece, Faux News, was caught broadcasting Republicans news releases, typos included, as their “real news”.
How much lower do they need to go before you abandon them?
scottfreitas
said,

Abandon them for WHAT? MSNBC? CNN?
Compared to Fox, the rest of the mainstream media is straight from the Joseph Goebbels school of Propaganda.
No thanks, I’ll take my chances with Fox…

It’ll make you feel better, Scott. Listening to only Faux will help you with your charade that your party still has relevance.

Nope, sorry, Howie.
Pelosi doesn’t have this much free time.
striper77 said, 24 days ago
Obama has done nothing except turn a bid situation into an extremely bad situation and blame bush for it.
But of course what did you expect? Something to actually get better under democrat control.
The debt went from 1 trillion to almost 3 trillion and it will be over 11 trillion in a few years. Nothing has got better, it has only gotten a lot worse.
striper77 said, 24 days ago
Anthony stated Pelosi doesn’t have this much free time.
I noticed yesterday during your ongoing saga you never mentioned if you had a job.
Do you have a job?

No, sorry, Striper…you don’t get to ignore all the questions I’ve asked you, and then expect me to answer yours.
Here’s one you’ve run away from, with your hypocritical tail between your legs, multiple times, on multiple threads. Answer it, and I’ll answer yours.
Gee, Striper, on the Luckovich 10/23 thread you said you based your hatred of homosexuals on the old testament.
Do you also therefore hate people who work on Sunday, who eat shellfish, get haircuts, and women who wear clothes made of two types of cloth?
Or do you just select out parts of the bible that meet your needs, and ignore the rest?
Which would explain your cursing at me (Luckovich 10/23) despite the biblical penalty of stoning. Lev 24:14

First off, you don’t get to ignore all the questions I’ve asked you, and then expect me to answer yours.
I think everyone here would agree you hate homosexuals, Striper, as we’ve previously discussed.
But let’s use your disingenuous preferred term, “disapproved of”.

We all look forward to your (hypocritical) reply.
BTW, ReasonsVentriloquist asked you some pointed, yet also unanswered questions here:

ReasonsVentriloquist said, 24 days ago
Tigger,
Your innumeracy is embarassing!
“99.99999999999999999% of America is also against You.”
Which, based on a population of 300,000,000, would mean that one 30billionth of one person was not against the “You.”
Why is it I think you live on Credit Cards?

Hmm, if stripper found out a fetus at eight weeks was transgender, would he abort it?
striper77 said, 24 days ago
Dtroutma stated Hmm, if stripper found out a fetus at eight weeks was transgender, would he abort it?
You just stated something that is impossible. A person has to decide to go down that road for whatever reasons. I am assuming it would happen during puberty or early adult hood.
Transgender
a person appearing or attempting to be a member of the opposite sex, as a transsexual or habitual cross-dresser.
Anthony 2816
said,
23 days ago
Or for the sake of discussion we could pretend that a genetic test could determine it.
Then you could go ahead and answer the question about what you would do, Striper, instead of just running away from it.
ReasonsVentriloquist said, 23 days ago
But what if the epigenetic code is cracked, and we can tell from a tissue sample that the fetus is going to be born with the need to be transgendered?
BTW,
Transgender is when one actually has been changed from one gender to the other.
Transexual is when when one wants to be considered transgender.
Transvestite is when one assumes the “vestiments” of the opposite sex.
Transylvania: The mythic home of Dracula, the mythic home planet of Dr. Frank N. Furter
a.c.d said, 23 days ago
Actually transgender is something that can happen during fetal development. There are lots of transgender people who have both, or ambigious genitalia. That South African runner is an example of that.
Now, there are transexuals, which are people who identify with the opposite sex. This however does not make them gay. We have family friend who was married to a woman and decided we wanted to be a woman also. Had a sex change and never looked back and is also still happily married. The human body is not a cookie cutter thing. It can, for all kinds of genetic or environmental reasons have variations in not only gender but also the brain’s interpretation of sexual arousal and enjoyment. It is almost impossible to place anyone into one specific bracket.
Now the question as it pertains to society is does that behaviour cause enough disturbance to society that it ought to be regulated? In the case of consenting homosexuals it does not because according to modern law, two consenting adults have the right to do what they please in the bedroom. Now if we have those who are arroused by inciting fear, danger or violence as part of their sexual gratification (I dont mean S&M, but rather rapists and such), then that is something that is and should be regulated as it infringes on the rights of another. Pedophiles same deal since we as a society deem children incapable of establishing legal consent, and as so we deem it illegal. Beastiality follows the same trend (or as some prefer, interspecies erotica).
The human spectrum of sexuality is complicated and a legal mine field, but the most important thing is that we dont allow our personal convictions to cloud the judgment of the issue.

Striper77,
I’m aware of Dictionary.com, thank you.
Perhaps, if you spent a while trying to understand the factors you’d be able to tell “Fact” from “Or.”
And you and I agree an awful lot. While I don’t refer to these postings as “E-mail” I do agree that yours are particularly “pervious.”
And they’re plenty “pervy” too!
ReasonsVentriloquist said, 23 days ago
But still, the question remains, if it were possible to assertain that a given fetus was to be born ambiguious in its sexuality, would you be in favor of terminating that abomination?
striper77 said, 23 days ago
Reasonsvent,
Thanks for pointing out the e-mail statement. Believe it or not, I have just signed up a multi million dollar account. They have 20 locations. I just got the first two on and working on the next four. I am in contact with a lot of mid and lower management at the locations via e-mail during the implementation process.
Between meeting, calls and down time I post on this site.
In the past when certain people are on my case, I have stated I will get back to them when I have time.

“But still, the question remains”
That’s true, Striper. If you’re as busy as you say, why do invest so much time running away with your tail between your legs, inventing ad hominem attacks, and whatever else you lamely think qualifies as a legitimate reason for avoiding answering questions directed at you?
Let’s try it again: if it were possible to ascertain that a given fetus was to be born ambiguous in its sexuality, would you be in favor of terminating that abomination?
Do you honestly think no one notices your hypocrisy? Can you be that naive?
Answer it.
dtroutma said, 23 days ago
a.c.d. of course gives the medical definition of transgender. Words may have different meanings in common use, slang, medical, or legal applications.
“Fanatic”, and “nuts” are examples of words construed differently, just like “bigot”. It is in large part why outlets such as Fox news can launch diatribes against OUR government, and be followed by those ignorant of facts, or challenged by those with alternative interpretations to their hate.
striper77 said, 23 days ago
Is that a dishonorable discharged transsexual trying to get my attention.
No thanks.

If all the christians who have been called not-a-christian by other christians were to disappear, there would be no christians left.
Which may well be Striper’s goal.
