Do you want the antibiotic for strep as it existed 100 years ago

Or do you want the antibiotic for strep as it's evolved into now. You're call. I don't care either way. The first version is about 30% effective, the other version is closer to 98%. Maybe if you combine the first version with prayer it all evens out.

Sure, call all non Black people, racists, for their own good

Now THERE'S a strategy that bound to work in November. Do that.

Single mothers are ruining society!

Not if you count all the strippers.

Let me put it this way

My uncle's neighbor in Florida was just fined $25,000 for cutting down one of his own trees that was blocking the solar system the town helped him to pay for to install on his roof.

In the final analysis (and there will never be one of those)

What this shows is that Obama was very successful in steering this election away from all substantive issues and instead has turned it into a do-nothing referendum on race. The Joke's on you.

str8face

I'm glad you took time out of your busy day of righting the world's wrongs to admonish a complete stranger for something even you think is trivial and silly. Because, THAT's how the rest of us will learn to happily bow at your god-like brilliance.

thank you and in'shallah.

Based on some of the other fools here @ Salon

Like str8face, seemingly this is yet another of the substantive issues this country must face together before we can call ourselves a modern free state.

Dear Moderators

Please delete the last 4 or 5 posts as they are no different than the post of mine you deleted this morning. Thanks.

So since all of you claim that all organized religion

lays somewhere between ignorant voodoo and a warcrime and thusly won't be in Church tomorrow, it's doubtful you'll hear any cogent responses to this whole dust up, but if you do, I'd love it if you posted them here. Thanks again.

Ever seen Discovery Nature HD early in the morning

HD nature scenes with no people, words, music, story,commercials or anything. The first time I saw it I kept waiting for something to happen. Nothing happens. It's just you, your cup of coffee and your inner zen. Some people get that from dogs, I suppose.

It's kind of how liberals feel about the Jews.

Oh they won't say it aloud, they'll even claim they know a few. But they're sure as shit hoping they'll all go the fuck away to Jewistania at the bottom of the sea.

You see in America there's PC hate speech and there's non PC hate speech and then there's PC hate speech that can only be uttered by some people. Rev Wright utters PC hate speech. Blogonauts who substitute "politics" for race, creed and color utter PC hate speech, Salonobots like aVulcan and Gordon Wagner utter PC hate speech. But their critics, even for so much as pointing that out, are by definition, uttering non PC hate speech. Moreover what's amusing to me, is that by their very utterance of PC hate speech though, Salonobots assume it's being uttered by people are not entitled to. That is, while their sentiment is true (Rev. Wright speaks the truth of black experience and anger in America etc etc etc etc) but by their membership in the wrong group, they're not allowed to say it.

At Salon you can only admit your faith if you preface it with illness

It's never ok at Liberalania to admit your faith, but if you do you have to excuse it by claiming it's the side effect of a chemical problem in the brain. Then all the armchair therapists come out to lecture you about a) how better to fix your damaged children, and b) it's ok to feel that way.

I don't know what you're waiting for. I don't respond to loaded questions. And as for Paul Dirks, your resident moral arbiter on all things he know nothing of, personally (perhaps he could tell us what 'freeper' is, I don't know) I would suggest that his automatic response to namecall, insult and generally attack any point of view that deviated one iota from the 99% mainline doctrine of Salon, make my case for me. There's clearly a realm of acceptable hate speech and unacceptable hate speech. One need only read the Salon comments having anything (or more often nothing, it's just injected into the conversation for fuck's sake) to with Israel, or Joe Lieberman and the discussion immediately goes in the gutter. Oh it's politer words than what the Nazis, and Henry Ford and the KKK used but it's the same sentiment. That's the nature of modern hate speech, it's more refined (after all you you see David Duke wearing a suit, not a hooded robe)

By the way political Black activism has been vocally antisemitic for years and years and few call them on it, or, if they do, it's pushed aside and ignored as quickly as possible. But that's the great dichotomy isn't it? On the one hand Jews in America are part of some massive powerful conspiracy, so even not saying something about the Jews is clear indication that they 'run everything', and on the other hand they're just a tiny weak minority too big for their britches who need to be knocked down a peg or 10. We control the bank, and yet we need massive handouts, we control the media yet the media is almost universally against us. We're part of this super secret plot - - that everyone knows about.

Seems like you're used to speaking for both of us. Please carry on, please do.

The only thing between you and gun toting hillbillies you love to hate, is how you dress

Right, kill the upper middle class, eat the wealthy, shoot all the women with nice shoes. Ok, let's do that. You know what pisses me off? The upper middle class fake hippy chick earth mothers at Whole Food. They're buying the same crap as everyone else everywhere else they just feel noble about it because their Crocs are as dirty as their hair.

I regret

The most any of you did was blog about it. The 4000 Dead GI's thank you for your outrage.
