Good lord justshovejayohbe... You are scary deep into believing your propaganda. What AG are you with? Would be nice to tie a particular office with all this troop bashing. [sound the crickets]
BTW, what happened to all your anti-slave democrats after the civil war? They sure were not voting for civil rights or against slavery. Must have switched parties...
BadassSailor, I too want to say thanks for the sacrafices you make on behlaf of your country.
Douche, (I really feel bad calling you that) excellent post regarding modern racism within the democrat party. I have long held the view that Democrats have transformed most of the social safety nets to full blown entitlement programs designed to keep people in the system, not rise above it.
Sorry Danny, you cannot just wipe away 160 years of history (what wrote above was honestly the abridged version) and say things have really changed in the last several years. I backed up my claims, what are you basing complete forgiveness on?
The libertarian party used to show a lot of promise. They were very conservative and small government. But ever since Ron Paul, it seems like they are just Democrats II. Too much BDS and distaste for the only country in the world that places such enfaces on personal freedoms and personal opportunity. It is literally our foundation and the machine that has propelled us to the top.

No, not really. Do do you know the answer but don't want to say it, or are you an innocent victim of this propaganda? I'll give you a hint, because I am actually a really nice guy. :) Another political party was established in 1854 as an opposition to that party's pro-slavery policies. Two years later, it became so fierce that a senetor from the pro-slavery party nearly beat to death a senetor from the anti-slavery party for openly speaking against slavery. It took him 3 years to recover, he was beaten so bad. Do you know the answer now?
I knew you wouldn't let me down melloncollie. BTW, perhaps you should re-read the comments to see who is attacking who. I'm merely defending. And while I am glad you have an oppninion that just so happens to line up perfectly with that of the liberal media establishment, having a "different" opinion doesn't make it a valid one.
Hey... you are into games right? Lets play one! I call it public school propaganda trivia. Which US political party has a long history of racism, slavery, and fierce opposition to cival rights, including creating a terrorist group to kill and mame minorities, non-christians, and political opponents?
My incandescent are 100% efficient 7-8 months of the year, don't require recycling, and won't load landfills with mercury.
Given the extra shipping costs (CFL are much heavier than equivalent incandescent), the extra energy needed to create the near infinitely more complex CFL, the energy required to ship them back to a recycler, and the energy needed to recover the mercury and recycle the plastic and glass... Is there even a net gain?
Nothing like feel good laws based on junk science. The ends justify the means, eh comrades!
Note to the peanut gallery: In Samfish's posts we see a perfect example of a liberal debate. Often void of content, it quickly degrades into character assassination and personal attacks. Stay in school kids and say NO to liberalism! ;-)
Dwarf, I appreciate the kind words. You must really be into strippers, to be up on the local politics of stripping. :-) I live in Cincinnati and have not heard a thing about it. But don't let a couple of politicians piss you off because they are keeping your titties at 6 ft teasing distance. Take it from me, titties not under monetary duress are the best!
