One of my favorite lines from Thomas Merton's "Seeds of Contemplation" is "once a proud man (sic) declares himself humble, his case is hopeless". That's where we are with the Klintoonians who honestly feel they are at the high end of the Bell Curve, and that the Bell Curve is a valid, permanent, irrevocable predictor of human value. The meme that blacks are, by and large, lazy, stupid, sexually promiscuous and criminally dangerous is rife in our "Christian" nation. Stated or unstated, it's there in the posts of the Klintoon Klan, and it's sad precisely not because they can't get it, but because they DON'T WANT TO GET IT. WFB, I admire your tenacity, but, like the adherents of that racist bible, The Bell Curve, our friends are beyond the reach of your life preserved. They're in over their heads, and there's not a blasted thing you can do.

You, my friend, deserve a red star.

You wrote: "intentionally insulting people tends to shut down dialogue."

My question is: How can we get others to see the wisdom in your statement?

"Sorry, intentionally insulting people tends to shut down dialogue. And you just did." and twirpy prof, the same goes for you. anti-obamas, stupid and racist (you prof are too cowardly to be racist, you want to be, but don't have the guts - instead you just complain about feelings - OTHER'S feelings! drop dead! get lost! go away!)

Ode to Hillbots:

Leave your ego at the door, and stop posting like a whore

Cease your whining like a scolded pup

Face the facts: the gig is up.

I woundn't be tootin' some smug little ethical tin horn

When one reads all 'o your bilge, your "theory"

and "reality" tomes of deep scorn.

Get a solid argument or get a life

If you can't stand the heat in the kitchen

Then don't stoke up the strife.

You are amusing, to say the least.

Cheers.

I like that noise from up top!

Cos we've all had enough

and the gig is for sure UP!

Hey, if one must quote Mel Brooks

To get the better of these schnooks

Humor works where all else fails

With these remnants of hay bales

That plop in pastures nationwide:

The grass may be greener on the other side

But one has to deal with that stench, that smell

That proves the point: Hill's gone to hell

In a handbasket she herself has made:

Be off, and go get Big Bill laid

Instead of staying on the bus

And screwing with the rest of us.

Manos Shave

I never thought this day would approach, when the people, once again, have to listen to / or see a Clinton or surrogate. "Fool me once shame on you", "Fool me twice, shame on me". All the women, just to have a woman in Power...woooh!!!! How silly. But whatever. Voter's....Pennsylvania, Oregon, Kentucky, North Carolina, Peurto Rico, Virginia ....Baggage, baggage and campaign financing fraud, Lies, Missing records, Record's sold from Presidential Library in Arkansas for cash, Donations from Middle East for Library...documentation, Kazakastan, uranium deal with Canadian businessman, Arkansas bloodmoney scandal in Clinton era.

Vetted??? Never, charged???....never, Above the Law??....always, Protected by Surrogates???....always, 0ther's taken the fall for 'them???.....always

Never wonder how they do it. Not worth the time. Their clever, but not 'bright. Their past is...indeed, very, very dark. How do I know??? The World knows, the American people protected from this info. Billions have been spent on compensation around the world. They know about it (Clinton's). But, knowbody has the balls to ask them about it.

Afraid?? Yeah, isn't everyone? Hillary constantly says she's a fighter. Yeah she is. But who needs a street fighter these days? Who needs the bullies on their side? I'm sorry, I'm just not interested in a street fighter.

I want a guy/or girl that has integrity, moral standards, intellect, intelligence, professionalism, compassion, financial 'smarts, and WORTHINESS. That is not a Clinton. Be smart people...go forward, not backward. Feel the change...just don't listen to what they say they will do for you. Vote Smart Research, research, research. It's out there. Get the global view also voters...it's really exciting.

Obama is funded by mainstream America, small donations, while McCain and Clinton are receiving their donations from huge powerful interests. I am working-class and it is obvious Obama is for the average working-class American. All this Rev. Wright crap is nothing but another distraction. Don't get bogged down in media entertainment and manipulation. Follow the money.

manos99: "Hillary ... You fill me with inertia."

You are shallow. You are fickle. You bore me. Don't you ever leave off?

Yeah, that was Peter Cook, the coolest and suavest devil, in anybody's book.

That early Peter Cook/Dudley Moore stuff was classic, predating even Monty Python. Of course, none of those can hold a candle to our Hillary when she gets goin' on her bowling jokes. For a broad versed in gutter politics, bowling is a natural extension. Go, Billary, go. Away. Keep running. Just go away.

So STUFF IT HUTMAN! besides, it is YOU that's a BORE - who do you think reads your screeds, complete with footnotes? manos is FUNNY and INSPIRING (he inspired payne to write a poem - good one too). the thread for once actualized into a HATE HILL site - at least for the precious moment. we LOVE you, an obaman, on our side, but ease off!

There is no point because people don't want to continue. Unintentionally insulting people causes dialog to shutdown. Speaking in a klunky or alien matter will also insult some. How many will trade in their dislikes, their carefully nurtured and justified angers and slights for understanding, dispite protests to the contrary? How else to ask if someone acted like a Moron, if you thought they, well, acted like a Moron?

It happens to each of us, and is perhaps only a temporary condition. The soul selects her own society.

but it's over now, people went on to other pastures. i guess you were the fat lady that sang.
