"We were promised compassionate conservatism; instead, we got crummy capitalism." I will be the first to tell this guy that this country was founded as a capitalistic society not a socialist one. Quote They preach racial neutrality and they practice racial division." Hmmmm So does the NAACP in their support of affirmative action.

billvon 3,120 #4 June 15, 2004 >So I guess I am a terrorist now. Better come get me. Hey, extremism is pretty popular nowadays. Why, just a few minutes ago, the ACLU was called a terrorist organization. It's the modern way of calling someone a commie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,120 #6 June 15, 2004 > But bill.... they are a terrorist organization!!!!!! Riiiight. Heck, I was cut off by someone on the way to work a few days ago. They yelled at me. At first I thought it was just some asshole who pissed me off, but now I realize he was a dangerous terrorist. You're either with me, or you're a terrorist!

storm1977 0 #7 June 15, 2004 That is not true Bill. Some one who cuts you off isn't nessesarily a terrorist, nor are murders or robbers nessesarily. But, and organized group of people who have declared a war (literally or figuratively) on other peoples lifestyle or policy, and use unconventional tacticts to persevere, are in fact Terrorists. The ACLU is a good example of that in this country. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,120 #9 June 15, 2004 >Some one who cuts you off isn't nessesarily a terrorist . . . Either with me or against me! Our own president said the very same. No shades of gray! Heck, he might have had weapons of mass destruction in his car. He didn't prove he had none. >But, and organized group of people who have declared a war (literally or >figuratively) on other peoples lifestyle or policy, and use unconventional > tacticts to persevere, are in fact Terrorists. You mean like the people who have declared war on the legally married gay couples in Massachusetts? And talk about unconventional tactics - they actually want to ALTER THE CONSTITUTION to enforce their discrimination! They want to screw with the basic document that makes us a free people to take away someone else's freedoms! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yes in the sense that if people were being harmed or attacked unconvetionally because of their lifestyle (being gay). Call them out.

happythoughts 0 #17 June 15, 2004 The idea that "all blacks think ?> and are of the ?> political party" is probably as valid as any other racist remark. Hmmm...but nobody is going to call Julian a racist, are they? Maybe the new democratic platform campaign should include "Hey, put down yo' watermelon and fried chicken and go vote fo' us. We'uns is not racist like those Repubicans." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyKev 0 #22 June 15, 2004 QuoteI'm sorry, I thought special priviledge was a Democrat's specialty: affirmative action, "I feel your pain" speeches," etc etc. I'm pretty sure both parties are equally culpable of that. How many times did GWB try to relate to the working class mexican immigrant during the last campaign and make his cuban policy a cornerstone of his campaign in Florida? Special privelage is a specialty of politics in general. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy 0 #23 June 15, 2004 Touche. Republicans have done it as well. My point was that racial pandering is, was, and will be a specialty of Democrats. Then again, since the two parties are two sides of the same coin, of course the Republicans are picking up on it. Equally capable, yes. Equally culpable, no.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
