Ditto! I think the majority of this country (Christians, esp.) got off their tails and voted and took a stand. And it was all about moral issues, even the liberal media admitted that. Forget the economy... don't sell out your savior for 13 pieces of silver. (Of course, the economy has not been bad under Bush, it's just that there are more important issues like abortion, gay marriage, etc.) Yesterday, this country took a stand, and just as the Bible says "If my people humble themselves in prayer and call out to me then I will heal their land." (that was paraphrasing, I don't have my Bible with me at the moment) But I think God's people did cry out to Him, and he did acknowledge us so GLORY TO GOD FOR 4 MORE YEARS!!! And thanks to everyone who voted, no matter who for.
The government of the United States as defined in the Constitution is a secular institution. Keep your bible off my balls!
If it is so secular, why are the ten commandments chiseled on the walls of the Supreme Court Building. Oh yea that's right, you guys haven't found a way to tear it off yet. But thank's to Democrats abortion policy, there will not be enought Democrats to vote liberal judges into power any more. Republican woman do not get abortions like Democratic women do. The future belongs to the Republicans. The Democrats aborted their party away. Read, the Cradel will Rock. I think it's on line.
[QUOTE=Moonjava]God isn't too happy about all the babies we kill everyday.

If you are so concerned about doctors then maybe your darling dubba could help him with his $30,000 a year tuition. Futhermore, many places where abortions are frequently practiced are in poor neighborhoods where kids are not educated about birth control, and even if they could they couldn’t afford it; and don't tell me that adoption is an option because the likelihood of a black child being adopted into a stable home is VERY slim (my roommate is one of them, she got VERY lucky), these "futrure doctors" are often abused and neglected, they grow up poor, uneducated, violent and sometimes drug addicted. If you don't believe me come up to Brooklyn and live with me for a week, we'll go to Brownsville, it will be fun, and you could educate them. I respect that you have faith in something, my version of god tells me to do what is in my heart and what I think is right, not what somebody else’s interpretation of a book which was written by men 2000 years after it was written. It’s ok that you feel the way you do, just let me have the option of having my father live. If I really am a horrible person like you think I am then its no problem of yours, I just want my dad to live. (ps. god called, he said he does'nt like spending our tax dollers on war either)
Required reading for all of you: "Revelation" by Flannery O'Connor (as a side note, she was Cathloc) WARNING: this exorcise requires thinking

And i guess if there is a chance that a kid that is born could be a junki then we should kill all the kids so know one will be a junki. Abortion is like the pratice they used in Germany. The called it the final Solution. And the reason kids get pregneant is not because they have not been educated about birth control. The real reason is because they have no morals. And I guess if you think you are God you can decide which one will be the junki and which will be the doctor. It is this kind of thinking that will bring the end of the Democratic party. The save the whales and kill the kids is not going to work any more. Actually the bible states that it was written by inspired men of God. It states that at the end of time. The world would hate the Jews and the Jews would be back in Israel and Jerusalem. God has a plan for the Jewish people the Jews don't know it. The prophecies are real, and America is spoken about in over three chapters of the bible. God is not happy with this country, and terrible things are going to happen here. The Democrats have aborted themselves away. Read, the Cradel will rock. I believe this is on line.
Why don't we try debating, instead of insulting. I'd be very happy to debate Asotorth or whatever his name was, in a calm and collected and enjoyable manner.
Right. First of all, I'd like to say that I disagree with EVERYTHING you wrote in that post... I've just quoted a bit of it that I disagree with the most. Right. Where to start... "the bible states that we should not practice evil to bring about good" Right. Well... Does the War in Iraq mean anything to you? War is evil, no matter what the reaoning behind it. Also, considering that the reason for going to war ("Saddam has weapons of mass destruction and also has hostile intent") turned out to basically be bullshit, is that not even more evil to add to the tally? Also, your WWII reference... Who are you to compare the holocaust to abortion?? HOW DARE YOU? My family DIED in the holocaust. They were treated like shit, had their dignity taken away from them, were no longer seen as human beings and then slaughtered like animals, in a government sanctioned killing process. How dare you compare abortion, a process used for women who have been raped, for children who don't know any better because of a lack of education in their schools, for health reasons if they will die if they get pregnant again, for people who ARE responsible and do use birth control but there's some freak incident and the condom breaks or the pill doesn't work, how dare you ever compare that to the holocaust in which 6 million people were slaughtered like animals. No morals, eh? Does the bible not say "judge not, lest ye be judged"? Does everyone else in the world have to live up to YOUR moral code? One based on a book written thousands of years ago by a bunch of men? A book written at a time when population and having as many kids as possible were the most important thing? THE WORLD HAS CHANGED. Most specifically, we are now living in a society which post-modern. NO ONE PERSON HAS THE RIGHT TO TELL SOMEONE ELSE HOW TO LIVE IF IT DOESN'T AFFECT THEM. Does my friend getting an abortion, after she was raped, so that she doesn't have to get pregnant with the child of her rapist, affect you? No. Will it improve HER quality of life after such a traumatic and terrifying incident? Yes. Who the hell are you to tell someone else how to live? -Tamsyn
False. The media does not report anything worthwhile, but it is NOT because it is liberal. Why the attack on Clinton and Kerry while nothing of the sort on Bush, the worst failure as president this country has ever seen? They don't press him at ALL, he started a WAR and they let him off the hook. Give me a break. I don't think gays care whether or not you accept their lifestyle, they just want the same freedoms the rest of us have. Allowing them to marry doesn't mean you "accept" their lifestyle. Just ignore it if it bothers you, IT'S NOT YOUR BUSINESS! Well, that will sure be a letdown for all you rednecks....where will you get your bestiality porn from? And would that "filth" include sexual relations between siblings, another blow to the Bush supporting South... I've seen studies showing that the majority of porno buyers are Christian women... Satan will be impeached before long, enjoy it while you can. They stole the election, we won't allow much to happen.
The media is neither 'liberal' nor 'conservative'. It is totally one-sided, completely NON-objective, and if you don't believe me, try taking a look at foriegn newspapers or medias, that actually DEBATE the subject, instead of presenting a one sided view.
Excuse me, have you read the final numbers? It wasn't even CLOSE. You cannot say that the election was stolen. Not if you live in THIS reality and not some sort of a weed-induced hallucination.
The voice from the telescreen was still pouring forth its tale of prisoners and booty and slaughter, but the shouting outside had died down a little. The waiters were turning back to their work. One of them approached with the gin bottle. Winston, sitting in a blissful dream, paid no attention as his glass was filled up. He was not running or cheering any longer. He was back in the Ministry of Love, with everything forgiven, his soul white as snow. He was in the public dock, confessing everything, implicating everybody. He was walking down the white-tiled corridor, with the feeling of walking in sunlight, and an armed guard at his back. The longhoped-for bullet was entering his brain. He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.
Lets see, the president one by a single state, that's close. He won that state by 135,000 votes - out of 5.6 million cast. (.2%) I think that's close.
Do not confuse electoral college outcome with popular vote. Electoral college-wise, he won by one or possibly two states, a perfectly legitimate victory. To add insult to injury, if you look at the popular vote numbers, the gap is HUGE. So please, don't try to baffle me with bullshit. George Bush had a bigger popular vote than Reagan. Cram THAT up your crack pipe.
Despite all your crassness this isn't true. And I don't smoke crack, idiot. I am also neither injured nor insulted. Bush 51.5% Kerry 48.4% That's a REAL landslide there buddy. Yes it is bigger than Reagan's popular vote victory. What exactly is your point? There were also 8.3% of votes going to thrid parties in 1980. The largest ever I beleive. I too beleive our electoral system is screwed. Reagan won by 50.7% of the vote (I guess you think that was a HUGE victory too) but he did get 489 electoral votes to Carters 49.
By golly, you're a numbskull. You cannot claim that the election was stolen when the difference is 3%. It's not a landslide, but it's a CLEAR CUT VICTORY. Kerry lost the electoral college vote. Kerry lost the popular vote. You can recount and recount, and it won't change. At least he had the stones to concede like a man. By the way, 2000 wasn't "stolen" either after all (or did you miss that too?) Just do yourself a favour and stop.
I agree it was a clear cut victory. I NEVER said it was stolen. I argued that the margin wasn't HUGE as you suggest. I guess my accurate figures make me a numbskull. OK. In 2000 Bush lost the popular vote and by all recounts he lost the electoral vote too. He was the first presdient appointed by the supreme court. If you don't think that is a highjacking of the elctoral process then we will just have to disagree. Your insults do a lot to prove your points. Please bring them on!
Wrong again. Recounts have proven that Bush actually won Florida, thereby winning the electoral vote. Check your sources. You did not say that the election was stolen, green_thumb did. You then supported him/her/it. In the country as polarized as it is right now, 3% IS a huge margin.
I supported nothing. I disagreed with your statement. I disagree that 3% is a huge margin. It is on a short list of the closest elections in history no matter how you slant it. There is still disagreement on who won florida in 2000. My opinion is that Gore did. You can come to a number fo different conclusions if you want to include dangling chads, recount the votes, include illegal ballots for GOP and leave out illegal ballots for Dems. http://www.bushnews.com/gorebush.htm
