@ DonaQuixote

I know you're a Dem. Me too.

When I wrote, "Why do Republicans hate our freedoms (of speech)?", I was using that ridiculous assertion that the neocons used to explain 9-11: "They hate us for our freedoms!" However, my question, "Why do Republicans hate our freedoms (of speech)?", is applicable to those Republicans who flipped off your daughter for her Obama bumper sticker and removed the Obama sign from your sister-in-law's lawn. Those are people who hate freedom of speech.

Why doesn't McCain just retire to one of his seven homes and play...

@ cabdriver

I think I love you!

However, I don't think of Republicans as apologizing for torture. They like it. They wrap around the tortured Jesus and then they vote for presidents who will assign people to torture in Jesus's name.

If there is a Jesus in Heaven and we get to become immortals, what will Republicans say to Jesus: "Hey, Jesus! I voted for the Torture Party! Say, I like those holes in your hands!"

There is no statue of limitations on murder.

So, if Roe vs. Wade is overturned, will the gov't prosecute women who've had abortions for murder? Will these women be executed? After all, they're baby killers, according the Right. And the Right thinks it's right to kill baby killers.

Well, if the Right starts killing women who've had abortions, oil prices will drop, since there will be a whole lot less cars on the road. No more traffic jams! Hooray for me!!!!

Say, shouldn't the gov't also prosecute men who helped those women obtain abortions? And their sisters and mothers and fathers who were supportive? They're conspirators in murder! They should all die! Die, die, die!

And let's start checking those bloody tampons for eggs that detached from the uterine walls! I'll go into the business of building and selling teeny-tiny white coffins for those zygotes!

@ Bethiewethie

Now, that's what I've been saying for days! There's the locust plague. The Bubonic Plague. And the most horrible of all, the Republican Operative Plague.

Did you see the thread for Ms. Paglia's last column? There were hundreds of first-time posters. I wish Salon would start comparing ISPs. There might be a story there.

And one can't counter-plague them. I lasted one post at freerepublic.com before I was banned. It was a funny post too, about how straight people flaunt their marriage uncivil rights, driving down the street, dragging cans, and honking their horns, and saying, "Woo-hoo, look at us! We can get married (again and again and again), lesbos and homos!"

@ redshooz

I think I love you too.

And thanks for installing a governor on this runaway train. Pre-torture, painting a bulleyes on gay citizens, the multiplying of the national debt, and the oil invasion, ala Japan in the thirties, I was fine with Republicans. Now, I hate them. Rather, I hate what they've done to America and the world. I hate that my tax dollars were used to torture. I hate how the world now rightly views us as an imperial power. I hate how some citizens are more equal than others and how all of this is done in the name of the Golden Rule guy. They practiced anti-alchemy, turning gold into lead.

But no hate.

No hate.

More questions:

If a fetus is living baby and abortion is baby murder, will all those who voted for pro-choice Democrats be charged as accessories to baby murder? Will they too be tried and executed?

It seems that one must do this if one truly believes that a fetus is a baby.

Likewise, one must try and execute all who voted for Bush, since babies have been killed by American bombs and bullets in Iraq. Therefore, Bush voters are also accessories to baby murder and should be tried and executed.

This will certainly solve the oil crunch.

And, as Catherine Price noted, if a fetus is a baby, then an old man is a fetus. If we refuse to differentiate, then it all gets ridiculously muddled.

@ Rosenkavalier

Good point. You see, in fundy ideology, someone must always pay. It's just that the wrong person/people often pay. For example, we sinned, so Jesus had to suffer for our sins. Bin Laden of Saudi Arabia took the towers down, so Iraq had to be invaded and occupied. Red states lead the country in divorce, so gay people can't get married.

I think I can be a fundy. Let's see. I left a tool out in the rain and it rusted. I'll torch my neighbor's house! Praise God! Let it burn, sweet Jesus!

For those of you arguing with kufir77, he has little respect for the living. Read his past letters. They swarm with ad homs.

I'm afraid that Spiderman would support Karl Rove.

Fellow webspinner and all that.

However, Doc Oc would support W, whose got, by power of the Patriot Act, has his far-reaching hands in everybody's business.

This means, as proxies, that Rove must fight W! Hooray!

@ kufir77

Hey, you didn't call me a name!

You did, however, suggest that I'm ignorant.

I suppose you're making progress. Sorta.

Just remember, YOUR Jesus says, "Do unto others as I take a flamethrower to the fookers' fooking faces!"

kufir77, I can forget that you're a real person who way back when was likely open and loving and that behind all your bombast and invective, maybe a little goodness lingers in you, so I'll treat you tenderly here: I was being facetious to make a point. And that's de fact, Jack.

I already bought her invisible plane on Ebay. I paid for it and Wonder Woman said it arrived, but I sure don't see it.

Spiritual and secular reasons to not wear flag pins:

Spiritual; idolatry

Secular: nationalism

Original article: Today in Palin

The reason a feminist can't get excited about Palin...

...is become feminism is about merit. Palin doesn't merit the vice-presidency. If Palin weren't pretty, a mom, and a Christian extremist, she would still be in Alaska.
