When Gary told me he had found Jesus, I thought, Ya-hoo! We're rich! But it turned out to be something different.

I mean that neither of you may be happy until people forced to live by what you believe in.

Rat, your statement above shows just how much you misunderstand me. I am for democracy. I think the people should decide how they live. pieter and his ilk think they should decide and have it forced on people through their liberal allies on the federal courts.

What do you care what I understand? You claim to know what society wants. What does it matter what we think? We're just ilkto you. Subhuman, probably.

I say you ought to step it up. We don't deserve respect or consideration from you. Only more of the same. You claim to know what society wants.

You might be the most eloquent spokesperson for conservatism on this board. You say what other conservatives only say when they're drunk or mad enough.

Nonesense. Liberals want courts to keep people from forcing their views on them.

What "forcing" are you referring to?

Stuff like making beating up people he considers to be either sinners or subhuman illegal, making religionchristianity optional rather than mandatory, and pregnancy likewise. Knowing that people are free to make their own moral choices makes him uncomfortable, diversity offends him, and he has a Constitutional right to be comfortable and unoffended.

Yes. So what? You think the same thing. But I put my faith in the people deciding for themselves what laws they should live under. You don't.

Just when it seemed that every liberal commentator on the Terri Schiavo case was starting to sound like Barney Frank, the great Joan Didion published a long and remarkable article on the case in the quite far left New York Review of Books of June 9. Frank, of course, took the occasion of last week's Schiavo autopsy results as yet another opportunity to denounce Republicans as “this fanatical party willing to impose its own views on people.” For those of you still somehow unaware, “imposing their views” is a semiofficial Democratic meme or code phrase meaning “religious people who vote their moral views and disagree with us.”

Just what Jesus meant...
eh, Jethro?

In Jesus's tiume there were the money changers. Today we have liberals.

In Jesus' time, Jesus was a radical liberal.

how can I quit if you won't shut the fuck up?

as a matter of fact, fuck that... I'll talk to you whenever I fucking feel like it.

you had your chance and you couldn't stop talking to and about me, so now I'll say whatever the fuck I like to you. No more simply quoting you to point out the hypocrisy of you talking to me while claiming not to want me to talk to you.

Torpedo, you are one huge dumbass pimple on the ass of everyone here. Your only possible use could be that you are so damn stupid, you make even dumbasses like Ice and Von seem merely dim by comparison.

In all the time I've read your grade school taunts, not once have I seen anything come from you that even approached intelligent thought. It's truly pathetic.

It looks like the place will be going out with bang. I feared it would be a whimper.

The romanticizing of nature, let alone the ascribing of divinity to it, involves ignoring what really happens in nature. I doubt that those American schoolchildren who conducted a campaign on behalf of freeing a killer whale (the whale in the film "Free Willy") ever saw films of actual killer whale behavior. There are National Geographic videos that show, among other things, killer whales tossing a terrified baby seal back and forth before finally killing it. Perhaps American schoolchildren should see those films and then petition killer whales not to treat baby seals sadistically.

If you care about good and evil, you cannot worship nature. And since that is what God most cares about, nature worship is antithetical to Judeo-Christian values.

Nature surely reflects the divine. It is in no way divine. Only nature's Creator is.

So why did "god" create that amoral only-the-strong-survive system, yet tell his supposed son to teach us to set up a system that protects the less powerful?

Talk about non sequitur. If anybody has flunked that test it's "compassionate conservatives."

Compassionate conservatives pass with flying colors.  It is people like you, that are out of touch with reality, that flunk.

Back in the day, magazines like Popular Mechanics would have classified ads that read "Receive interesting mail. 12 months/$2" and the like. Collections were taken to sign up unpopular teachers and classmates for as many of the mailing lists as could be found.
