3...2...1...Here comes AggieDave. Excuse me. "Regular" capacity. Attaboy! Indeed. If it doesn't have 20+, what's the point? I've been looking at various lower receivers and it's just amazing how prices have gone up since the election. A lower you could have picked up for under $100 now goes for $250 or more. Lunacy I tell ya! Supply and demand at work. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

The problem w/ that Bill, is that the very people who need, in part, to be adding right rudder are too busy admiring their new raises that they don't fucking deserve. That is part of the problem! They should have stopped this auto raise bullshit and put their money where their mouth is. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

You really think they have no more responsibility in all this than the dispatcher in your analogy? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

So how do you feel about the Wall Street wizards who precipitated the economic melt-down? They should lead the way. Preceeded by hot curling irons inserted rectally. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

It did happen. It's AUTOMATIC. Didn't you read the article? I believe he was referring to seeing the entire HofR voted out... If so my bad for misinterperating Nah, it was easy to misinterpret. Especially if you're seeing red from the miscreants in office... I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

they should all get a raise... up to the gallows. bastards. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Tsk tsk tsk.. its about balance.. and I DO so love to return in kind the kinds of posts I see . I especially love the ones that paint all the "leftest" and "liberals" on here who do not goose step to the same drum as your IMPERIOUS Leader has demanded of you for the last 7.5 years. SIEG BUSH you don't even know who you're talking to do you. That was just loony. Loony-Toony. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Your complexity is hidden in your incessant use of juvenile insults towards practically any conservative, whose views differ from your own leftist ideologies. You can try to claim a more centrist position, but those who read your posts know better. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

I love Cavuto... as you pointed out.. its a well done show. I enjoy listening to someone who is conservative who actually has the intellect to make up for all the others. OMG! Did you just compliment someone on the right ???? Jeanne! I underestimated you! Which is hard to do, considering how tall you are. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Her tv show isn't much different. I'd actually watch Olberman all day before I could stomach 10 minutes of that girl. Something about her just drives me off the wall. She rates up there with Nancy Grace in my book. Although I pretty much never agree with Olbermann, at least he can get a chuckle out of me once in awhile. Maddow makes me want to puke in my mouth listening to her. Ah yes, O'Reilly, Hannity, and Rush, don't care a whole lot for them either even though I generally agree with them. Cavuto is the shiznit when it comes to conservative commentary. Very polite, well-spoken and logical in comparison to the anger vented by the others. He actually lets his guests talk and politely discusses his logic behind why he disagrees with them. +1 on cavuto... haven't watched him much but i like that he isn't such a rude twat like so many others... will have to check him out more now based on your recommendation. i just can't stand all that damn interupting and talking over and anger and... ugh it just gives me a headache. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

No, it's not. Your perception is subjective which may or may not be in line with what is objective. Ask any pilot who regularly flies in bad weather about how far off your perception can be from reality. Based on your logic, no one can be wrong, yet we have these blow hards on the radio and TV who report facts quite differently. Why is that? Because perception does NOT equal reality. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

And what do you do when you "catch" Hannity telling the truth about something? Do you spend an equal amount of time (or any time at all) fact checking shit-spewers on the left like Keith Olberman (sp?) or do you just have a particular hard-on for Hannity and/or folks on the right? Are you after truth or is your quest more ideologically driven? I'm venturing an assumption here but I reckon you don't invest much time looking into the leftist counterparts to folks like Hannity... am I right? There are plenty that go after the left already, my work isn't needed there. I've long said that Olberman is part of the problem. If there is any main stream media entertainment reporter I give any respect to it's Rachel Maddow and the list isn't much longer after her. I'd be happy if you can prove that she does the same thing as Hannity to change my opinion. Funny how you edited your post and threw that little challenge in there. Sorry, you're just a little too ramped up over this non-issue for me. And from the company that this woman keeps on Air America, I'm already biased against her. She may be the most honest, forthright, objective person on the planet. Wouldn't matter. I've adopted the same attitude towards all of them as I have towards politicians. Most of it is spin and smoke and lies. I know, you and most others think that people on the right -especially those who listen to anyone on Fox News, can't think for themselves. On the other hand, I tend to believe that most people on the right AND the left, as long as they aren't head long into the extremes of kool aid drinking, are smart enough to think for themselves, listen to the media in moderation, weed out the bullshit, and make informed decisions about what is going on in the world. Maybe I'm naive. If so, fine. I'd like to stay that way so I don't become a mass murderer and kill all the stupid fuckers who are just automotons to the fucking media. As someone who has now unzipped her pants to show us just how much experience and knowledge you has in this area, I'd think you'd also be smart enough to know that your crusade against Sean Hannity is really just a collosal waste of time. He has a huge audience and, to be blunt, he feeds off of haters like yourself. I just don't understand why you don't have anything better to do... I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

If anyone on here thinks that any news channel/agency/radio show/blog/etc. is fair, balanced or objective, they have to be the biggest idiot in the known universe. Some may be be less extreme this way or more objective that way, but let's be honest with ourselves. To think that you are not getting a spin when you watch your favorite news anchor, news show, news commentator, or news station, you're in seriously delusional. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

'twas probly a good choice. I don't have any kershaws but have always heard good things about them. my bro-in-law has a couple and loves them. my folders are emersons and i LOVE them. they're awesome. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

thanks for a good laugh Wendy. your good sense of humor, which is absent in some others here is quite nice to see. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

re-read my posts and you'll have your answer. so why all the rhetoric if you agree with me? It seems to me you do not understand nuances of the law or other legal and ethical situations. You seem to be forcing a false dichotomy. I disagree with just about everything you have written. I have not engaged in any "rhetoric" but have simply tried to explain things in a way that could be understood. It's obviously not going anywhere and you have reinforced (for the gajillionth time) why I stay away from this crazy place most of the time. It was a stupid, silly question to begin with, asking if Obama would be guilty of murder for signing FOCA and should have been dismissed out of hand. I guess the jokes on me for even responding to you in the first place. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

re-read my posts and you'll have your answer. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Yes you clearly HAVE missed something and it it precisely this: the rules of logic and argumentation. Yours are less than inspiring. One needn't actually perform an abortion to have any culpability, any responsibility for helping incur one. Our legal system is replete with examples of assigning responsibility to people who have committed this or that act even if they weren't the one doing the actual deed in question. By signing FOCA once in office, Obama will be responsible for an increase in abortions in this country. You may not believe this to be true but just sit on this until it happens, then come back and re-read this. I can wait. As tempting as it will be, I'll even forgoe the "I told you so's." So much for the democratic mantra that abortion should be legal yet rare. Bush has done some good. You may not agree that his SCOTUS appointees were good, but b/c of current make up of SCOTUS, we have the Heller Decision, which was an incredible win for the people with regard to the 2nd amendment. So you are saying that if Obama signs FOCA and removes federal restrictions on abortion that he is then culpable for murder? I don't think it is my logic that is uninspiring. Roe vs. Wade established a woman's right to choice not Obama, he was very young at the time and not someone I recall being involved in the case. Women have the right to choose just like you have the right to bear arms, the fact that you don't agree with it doesn't mean that others who do are murders, any more than anti-2nd supporters can claim that a single extra gun death makes 2nd supporters murderers. As to bush being any way responsible for Heller, I think that is a tenuous claim at best, he did voice his support, as did Obama, but I do not think the 2nd played into his selection of SCOTUS replacements. I do agree with you though about Heller, it was the right decision. Honestly, I'm at a loss here when things seem so obvious. If Obama signs something that removes any restrictions to abortions (i.e. partial birth, etc.) and such abortions begin to occur or increase in frequency, he has become, in some real way, responsible for that increase. He helped to allow the increase to happen. He helped pave the road. Did he make the women have the abortions? No. Would he be guilty of murder, as you say? No. As I said in a previous post, there are, in our legal system, other charges that speak to this type of example. If you wish to stay w/ murder as an analogy, there's the murder himself/herself, then in some cases there may be an accessory to murder, someone who helped the act to occur in the first place. Were it not for the accessory, perhaps the murder wouldn't have occurred. As for Bush and Heller: similar situation. Bush was responsible for nominating supreme court justices who would interpret constitutional law in a certain way. It's just beyond me that you can't see that. Had he not appointed them or had they not made it, the Heller decision may have gone another way. As an aside, it's fucking SCARY that it was 5-4 as it was! 5 to 4 people!!!!! Jeez. The second amendment. Poof. Like that. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

I imagine this world every day. I pray for it. I try to do my part to bring this world into existance. Christians will still have to ask forgiveness, because (and really try to hear it this time) we. are. not. perfect. Nor do we claim to be. We will always fall short because the ideal that we are striving for is so incredibly high. But that shouldn't stop us from reaching for it anyway. And by the way, this thing of asking for forgiveness, you should try it sometime. It's a very cleansing, therapeutic thing. We all do things that hurt others, we all fall short, we all make mistakes that cause others some sort of discomfort. But something tells me that even if Christians were able to reach the level of perfection you expect from them, you still wouldn't be happy. You'd still be derisive. You'd still be critical. I've seen it a million times in other people. You have to eventially ask yourself, is this worth carrying all this baggage around? Best wish you could have given me... I'll make sure to follow this one to a tee. With my lawfully wedded wife, of course. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

I like you, Jeanne. You've always been kind to me here inspite of my obvious religious beliefs. So I say this without meanness or anything negative at all: Why do you care at all about these people? You don't align yourslef with them so what does it matter to you if they don't follow their own creed? This is something that has been a matter of great curiosity to me... the extreme concern of nonchristians or "antichristians" towards the behavior of christians. I just don't get it. And the reason I don't get it, fundamentally, is that EVERYONE is a hypocrite, in some form or another. NO ONE lives up to their own unifying code of beliefs, their own ethical behavior, their own creed, 100% of the time. EVER. Even if you claim to not follow a creed, that is in fact your creed and by simply stating you have no creed, you have become a hypocrite! Now, I'm not trying to give a pass or an excuse for those who purposely, willingly violate their ethical codes out of sheer wickedness - priests who are molesters, governors who have difficult to pronounce last names and who serve themselves instead of the populace. Those people spoil the pot for the rest of us who generally, most of the time, try to live a good life, in harmony with our fellow man, but who, on occasion, fuck up. The problem is that you can't lump ALL of us in the same barrel. No one can be perfect all the time. Christians shouldn't claim to be perfect, but should try to be good. Many, including myself, should try harder. We can all use a lot more love, understanding and acceptance and lot less finger pointing, derision and vitriol. While such craziness can and often does hurt the person your attacking, it does far more damage to your own person. Haven't you had enough of the anger? Far too much energy is expended on such negativity. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

I guess all the good christians seem to have forgotten those silly rules about lords name in vain.. I was under the opinion there was one messiah... a couple thousand years ago.. sheesh jeanne, you can be so antagonistic. we get it already: -you don't like christians and think they are all hypocrites. -you don't like right wingers -you use ever possible chance to poke fun at both groups and call them names we get it already. we get it already. we get it already. we get it already. did i just repeat myself repeat myself? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

When it comes to murder, I do not differentiate between political parties. I honestly do not know where you are going with your statement. OK then I will explain. The Catholic Church's Pro-Life stance does not begin and end with abortion. It includes opposition to capital punishment, and also includes the Just War doctrine. Which means that specific criteria must be met before we resort to war. Guess what? The Neo-Con/Bush doctrine doesn't cut it. In other words, you can't really be pro-life & still be a war monger. Amen brother. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

When it comes to murder, I do not differentiate between political parties. I honestly do not know where you are going with your statement. I didn't realize that Obama performed abortions. Did I miss something, I though he was a law professor before he was a politician. Or did I forget that single issue abortion voters call everyone who doesn't support them murderers. Can wait until bush goes, the fact we will have a president with a fully functioning brain in 38 days is fantastic. I wont have to cringe when the president speaks in 38 days, I wont feel embarrassed that we have a buffoon in the office of President in 38 days. Obama has shown more promise and said more sensible stuff about the future of this country and how to run it that bush has said in 8 years. Obama will mess up sometimes, no-one is perfect, but he wont mess up all the time like the current idiot does and then look like a chimp in headlights when he tries to spin it as a good thing. What has bush got to show for the last 8 years, absolutely nothing other than the biggest recession for decades, unemployment rising faster than any time since his dad left office, national debt record, govt spending out of control and thousands of dead Honorable Servicemen and Women fighting a war that he started on false presences, but you are more worried that Obama supports a woman right to decide about abortion. You do know he's not actually going to perform the them himself don't you? Oh bush did managed to get a ban on partial birth abortion, I bet that gave all the anti-abortion people a big woody and made him their hero. In years to come we will have a new phrase in our language, the "bush" touch, kind of like the midas touch but instead of gold it will be shit, really bad shit, the kind you get when you've eaten too much hot curry and drunk loads of beer. Yes you clearly HAVE missed something and it it precisely this: the rules of logic and argumentation. Yours are less than inspiring.

So much for the democratic mantra that abortion should be legal yet rare. As for Bush, I have never been a stalwart supporter of the man. It pains me to hear him speak. However, neither do I vilify the man such as you do and many others here and elsewhere. He isn't Hitler or the Antichrist, anymore than Obama will be to the right wing. Bush has done some good. You may not agree that his SCOTUS appointees were good, but b/c of current make up of SCOTUS, we have the Heller Decision, which was an incredible win for the people with regard to the 2nd amendment.
