Yes, well that is about the same number that are also Knuckleheads.
Maybe, but the same knuckleheads that voted Davis out of office, are the ones that voted him into office.
And, had the Republican antagonist NOT started this campaign with his own money,
Face it Bill Fold, you're wrong on this one.
Davis never would have been thrown out without the voters of CA both voting for the recall, and voting for Arnold. From both sides of the aisle mind you.
And, had the Republican antagonist NOT started this campaign with his own money, Gray Davis would NOT have been recalled, and to me, that spells COUP.
Well fold is right about the money used to get the recall going. Without it Davis would be disgracing California for three more years. But the fact that fold thinks it is a coup simply shows his poor grasp of democracy. Then fold writes:
Face it, you don't LIKE the fact that your party hatched this plan to hijack political-power in CA., and now you are going to deny it by saying that the "People Decided", but that's true ONLY because they ate the bullshit arguments handed to them by the Right, voted for a FACE from the movies, and allowed themselves to be hoodwinked by a crafty-coup, planned very well by a Republican Congressman?
fold obviously think the voters of California are stupid and probably not capable of governing themselves. Well maybe so. But they are the same voters that put Davis into office and they exercised their power as set forth in their state constitution. That is democracy like it or not.
So far fold has demeaned the citizens of TX, FL, MN and now CA because they have swung towards the right and away from the archaic policies and views of the left.
Gee, you think there's a reason for this? Or is the great fold correct and tens of millions of voters from every race, religion, background and political view wrong?
Is this an ego driven problem he has or is it that in his mind, he can never be wrong?
You see, what we must realize is that these secular civil libertarians who are cloaked in freedom costumes are often the most insidious opponents of freedom and traditional values in our culture. They can talk freedom until they’re blue in the face, but it is not freedom they champion, but a certain worldview -- to the exclusion of biblical Christianity.
As usual you show your warped view of it all, crabs.
if you don't think that Christianity champions a certain worldview to the exclusion of not just some other things, but everything else is to miss the very heart of the entire belief system, which is that there is only one way.
to miss this obvious fact about Christianity is to have a skewed view...to be willingly blind...to not eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge, so to speak.
if you don't think that Christianity champions a certain worldview to the exclusion of not just some other things, but everything else is to miss the very heart of the entire belief system, which is that there is only one way.
If you believe anythingthen you will exclude those things that contradict your belief. If you don't believe anything at all you might as well be dead.
The nomination of Justice Janice Rogers Brown of the California Supreme Court to become a federal Court of Appeals judge has brought out vicious special interest groups with their long knives -- and a long record of smears and character-assassination, going back to the campaign of wholesale misrepresentations that defeated the nomination of Judge Robert Bork in 1987.
Justice Brown has repudiated the notion of judges acting as if they were, in her words, "philosopher kings." Yet such expansive conceptions of the role of judges is what has enabled courts to enact so much of the liberal agenda over the past two generations, when the voting public would never have stood for such things as racial quotas or the creation of new "rights" for criminals out of thin air, if this had been done by elected officials.
Last week, NPR's own official ombudsman, Jeffrey Dvorkin, admitted a liberal bias in NPR's talk programming. The daily program "Fresh Air with Terry Gross" -- a 60-minute talk show about the arts, literature and also politics -- airs on 378 public-radio stations across the fruited plain. Gross recently became a hot topic on journalism Web sites for first having a friendly, giggly interview with "satirist" Al Franken, promoting his obnoxious screed against conservatives on Sept. 3, and then on Oct. 8, unloading an accusatory, hostile interview on Bill O'Reilly's show. She pressed the Fox host to respond to the obnoxious attacks of Franken and other critics. Dvorkin ruled: "Unfortunately, the (O'Reilly) interview only served to confirm the belief, held by some, in NPR's liberal media bias ... by coming across as a pro-Franken partisan rather than a neutral and curious journalist, Gross did almost nothing that might have allowed the interview to develop."
But what exactly did Gen. Boykin say that smacked of religious bigotry and intolerance? Boykin called America a "Christian nation." So did President Harry S. Truman, who once said, "This is a Christian nation." John Jay, the first chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, said, "Providence has given to our people the choice of their ruler, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers." Patrick Henry said, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
WASHINGTON — Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia ridiculed his court's recent ruling legalizing gay sex, telling an audience of conservative activists Thursday that the ruling ignores the Constitution in favor of a modern, liberal sensibility.
The ruling, Scalia said, "held to be a constitutional right what had been a criminal offense at the time of the founding and for nearly 200 years thereafter."
MIAMI — They say politics makes for strange bedfellows, but all nine Democratic presidential candidates are jumping out of bed with the Democratic Party in Florida.
In a showdown between the national and state parties, all nine presidential candidates have joined the Democratic National Committee's threat to boycott Florida's upcoming Democratic convention.
Senator Charles Schumer went on television on October 22nd to announce that he was prepared to urge his fellow Democrats to filibuster, in order to prevent a Senate vote on the nomination of California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown to become a federal judge on the Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington.
Townhall is entertaining opinion, but they're no more slanted to the right than the New York Times opinion pages are slanted to the left.
This is so true. But will you get a liberal to acknowledge it? No. But more troubling is the fact that liberals such as fold reject out of hand anything they have labeled conservative. You notice how fold seldom argues anything in opposition he simply labels it biased. The article on Judge Brown by Thomas Sowell is quite accurate. Anyone that has paid attention to what Schumer and Democratic Senators have been doing on judicial nominations know it is true.
Can someone explain to me how the Senate is filibustering Bush's judicial nominees without actually standing in the well of the Senate and talking nonstop? I thought that was how a filibuster works, but somehow they're blocking a vote on these people without doing that. What exactly are they doing?
They no longer do traditional filibusters. Nowadays they simply declare a filibuster. Then they just go about life as usual, and don't do any of the work that a true filibuster requires.
There has been talk of changing this, to require a true filibuster. Make those bastards work for it. Make them waste their time rambling...
Thanks, J.T. Crap like that just serves to make me more cynical about politicians, who then turn around and wonder why people don't trust them. That is truly unbelievable -- just declare one, and go on about your other business. Emperor's New Clothes, anyone? Sheesh.
So fold admits that he has a closed mind. If you watch Fox and read Townhall you will notice clearly that CNN, MSNBC and the networks have a slant to the left. If you don't watch Fox or read some conservative sources you will not notice the slant. Once you see it and know it is happening you can make a determination of which is more accurate. But of course, fold and his ilk do not want to challenge their preconceptions.
But I DO read the L.A. Times, The Strib and I have a subscription to both U.S. News and World Report, and TIME.
Kinda of like getting the same story 10 times over isn't it? I mean come on, there is no difference in any of the sources you cited. They are all left leaning, if not a mouth piece, for the Democrats. I watch all the networks you cited, plus FOX, Washington Times, Boortz, WorldNetDaily, Newsmax and others. I go to several sources. Regardless of their slant. I figure somewhere in there is the truth.
I forgot, every night I download to my PDA the headlines (Main stories) from NY Times, MSNBC, Reuters, WSJ, Cnet, PCWorld, & Wired, then read it on my bus trip the next day (When I'm not studying for an exam that is).
I used to do CNN too, but they stopped proving to the service I use. I also used to download Cato, but they didn't update their stories often enough, so I dropped it. Oh, and Washington Post too, but I didn't care for them.
Yesterday I told you about California Democrat Nancy Pelosi's remarks about those illegal immigrants who have been arrested at Wal-Mart stores across the country. She said that American law enforcement officials were terrorizing these law-breaking illegal immigrants. Yup .. there was our House Minority Leader telling her audience that the men and women of American law enforcement were, in essence, terrorists.
Michele Malkin brought up an interesting point on Hannity and Colmes last night. Nancy Pelosi has now joined a growing list of Democrats and assorted leftists who make comments such as this from foreign soil. Pelosi's comments were made in Mexico. Pandering to the Latino vote in California and elsewhere is so important to Pelosi and her ilk that they'll even stoop to implying American police and immigration officers are terrorists.
Pelosi is now scrambling to say that she didn't mean to actually use the word "terrorize." She really meant to say "traumatize," or something like that. The backtracking is being done back here at home. The words she left in Mexico remain.
Overarching power generates not just dislike but hatred. To improve the atmospherics of public life, we need to decentralize, returning authority whenever possible to localities and private citizens.
Townhall is a conservative forum. US News has a reputation for being conservative, which it unabashedly was from its inception. It has moved to the left in recent years, though it is by no means a Democratic mouthpiece.
I don't like Arnold, nor do I consider him a Republican.
I like the outcome because Davis sucked, and manipulated the truth to get elected.
You need to admit that the people of CA threw the bum out, not just the Republicans.
The vast majority of registered voters in California are Democrats. Between Arnold and McClintock, 62% of the votes went Republican.
It was a coup, by the people!
Yes, well that is about the same number that are also Knuckleheads.
Maybe, but the same knuckleheads that voted Davis out of office, are the ones that voted him into office.
And, had the Republican antagonist NOT started this campaign with his own money,
Face it Bill Fold, you're wrong on this one.
Davis never would have been thrown out without the voters of CA both voting for the recall, and voting for Arnold. From both sides of the aisle mind you.
The people of CA spoke. It's as simple as that.
They spoke alright. Just not to fold's liking. Too bad.
He will never admit he's wrong JT.
BTW, It's now been SEVEN days and no Arnold re-call...Another idiotic and incorrect fold prediction.
Whatever
And, had the Republican antagonist NOT started this campaign with his own money, Gray Davis would NOT have been recalled, and to me, that spells COUP.
Well fold is right about the money used to get the recall going. Without it Davis would be disgracing California for three more years. But the fact that fold thinks it is a coup simply shows his poor grasp of democracy. Then fold writes:

See a pattern here?
So far fold has demeaned the citizens of TX, FL, MN and now CA because they have swung towards the right and away from the archaic policies and views of the left.
Gee, you think there's a reason for this? Or is the great fold correct and tens of millions of voters from every race, religion, background and political view wrong?
Is this an ego driven problem he has or is it that in his mind, he can never be wrong?
It is funny how fold knows we were writing about him while we are on his ignore list.
Funny indeed.
That's the 7th time he's made reference to me being on his ignore list.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Deep down he really likes me.

Shut up, ares.
And get the hell out.
Ooops, wrong thread.
Nevermind.
:-)
I don't have time to read 14 newspapers.
Why not JT? You work?
Maybe have other things to do in your life?
I've got more things to do than I've got time for.
I never watch FOX, and I never read Townhall.

If J.T. watches both Fox and CNN, he's getting a balance. And there's no question that the NY Times is deeply slanted to the left.
I get most of my news from LOTS of sources, and they are, in no particular order by the way...:
2. CNN
3. MSNBC(Various Shows)
4. All 3 Major-Networks...CBS, NBC, ABC

another hatefilled fold rant.
For 200 years the Senate carefully considered the professional track record of any judge nominated for the federal bench.
That changed three years ago when ranking Democrats decided to turn the Senate Judiciary Committee into their own personal meat grinder.
