Once the southern state seceded they were no longer United States citizens and therfore could not have committed treason. I think you need a nickname like "fold the obtuse."
The other side sowed the seeds of death, disease and distruction. Hundreds of thousands of young men sacrificed for their arrogant dreams cloaked in haughty language.
Walk the battlfeields and the prison camps, jethro.
Think about it, rick. Was it worth all those lives to force people that no longer wanted to live with other people to continue the relationship? Would you find that acceptable in a marriage? Lincoln caused that war. He could have let the south go in peace when he was served with the divorce papers.
A California school district's proposal to slide its commemoration of the Rev. Martin Luther King Day later this month by one week is being called culturally insensitive by some members of the community, reports the Pasadena Star-News.
Officials in Arcadia, Calif., public schools say Jan. 20 (the third Monday of the month, the usual day of the holiday) comes four days before the end of the semester and during a week when students will be taking final exams. They want to take the day off Jan. 27 instead.
But parent Lujuana Haggerty complained to the local chapter of the NAACP, saying the plan is offensive. "Even if the intentions weren't about race ... it's kind of a slap in the face," said Haggerty, whose first- and fourth-grade sons attend an elementary school in town.
A St. Louis middle school teacher who attempted to use a chapter from Harvard prof Randall Kennedy's new book about the N-word in class was slapped on the wrist by school officials and parents for it, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
English teacher Shannon Schumacher distributed a chapter from Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word as part of a lesson on sensitivity. The calls from angry parents started almost immediately, school officials said.
The offending chapter includes anecdotes and samples of hate letters written to Hank Aaron when he was nearing Babe Ruth's home-run record, and a comedy sketch between Richard Pryor and Chevy Chase on Saturday Night Live. Schumacher was forced to apologize to the offended parents and students and the book has been removed from the curriculum.
Two students who wanted to form a Bible club at a public high school in Boulder, Colo., were denied that right by school officials because the school only permits clubs in subjects relating to the curriculum, reports the Rocky Mountain News.
But in a lawsuit filed in federal court in Denver, Ashley Thiele, a senior, and Amy Duvall, a freshman, claim the school district permits many other clubs not related to the curriculum, including a Gay/Straight Alliance and a Multicultural Club.
Allowing those organizations, but not the Bible group, is discriminatory, the lawsuit charges. The Boulder Valley School District claims the other clubs are indeed part of the curriculum -- the Gay/Straight Alliance is a product of health education and the Multicultural Club part of a class on diversity.
A reporter with the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper in Florida was suspended without pay for a week for relaying what are being called offensive remarks about Islam in a private e-mail to a reader.
Political writer Bill Cotterell was responding to a reader who complained about Doug Marlette's now-famous "What Would Mohammed Drive?" editorial cartoon. In his reply to the angry reader, Cotterell said Arab nations need to get over the creation of Israel and make peace.
"OK, they can squat around the camel-dung fire and grumble about it, or they can put their bottoms in the air five times a day and pray for deliverance; that's their business," Cotterell wrote. "And I don't give a damn if Israel kills a few in collateral damage while defending itself. So be it."
Executive Editor John Winn Miller apologized for the remarks, saying: "They absolutely do not represent the views and sensitivities of this newspaper. Worse, they run counter to many of the values we hold dearest, among them tolerance, diversity and inclusiveness."
bob is a huge liberal. all you have to do is watch "disgrace the nation" a couple of times and see the way he treats liberals and the way he treats conservatives.
Democrats are now working on a plan to stall the confirmation of judicial nominees after President Bush decided to send back to the Senate the previously failed nomination of District Judge Charles Pickering Sr.
you apparently don't understand the difference between liberal judges that legislate from the bench, meaning they take issues out of the legislative arena, and conservative judges in which, generally, the issues are left in the hands of the legislatures.
No. The general tendency is that liberals take issues out of the political arena by stating that there are certain "constitutional rights" that can't be infringed. This despite the fact that they can't find anything directly on point in the document itself. While these decisions can be overturned it takes 2/3 of the states to do so.
Conservatives on the other hand, generally leave issues to the respective legislative bodies to be addressed. Unless, of course, there is unambiguous language that indicates that there is in fact a recognized right. Usually this means simple majorities can change policy.
no he was talking about butchering the innocent unborn. The Iraqi question regards the removal of evil and collateral damage. Intent, my man, is important.

REBEL TRAITORS!
As common as horse thieves.
I can see you are still closed minded, rick. You won't even consider the other side? Come on, rick, think!
The other side sowed the seeds of death, disease and distruction. Hundreds of thousands of young men sacrificed for their arrogant dreams cloaked in haughty language.
Walk the battlfeields and the prison camps, jethro.
States rights? -- Pffft!

Damn liberal media.
yes, about 95% is liberal
Bob Schieffer and Bush big buddies
Schieffer drops Bush's name in his latest book. They went to ball games together and chummed around. Now, Sdhieffer's brother is learing to say G'Day.
After Bush's victory speech, CBS's Bob Schieffer was optimistic: "Let's hope he succeeds. It will be the best thing for the country."
Damn liberal media.
bob is a huge liberal. all you have to do is watch "disgrace the nation" a couple of times and see the way he treats liberals and the way he treats conservatives.
A truly scientific analysis, jethro. Does he spit on the conservatives? Criticize their choice of clothes?
Does he spit on the conservatives? Criticize their choice of clothes?
not on the air but who knows what goes on backstage. such acts, of course, would not be surprising for a liberal!!!!!!
But the conservative would just pull a gun and shoot him.
despite all rumors to the contrary, not all conservatives carry guns.
They all carry guns, jethro.
I once heard that even Nancy Reagan could slip a white-gloved hand into her purse and pull out a shiny little Derringer. No one just said no to her.
Maybe it was a gift from "Frances" Sinatra. He let her call him Frances.
Maybe the gun was taken out of the purse of a woman before she was fitted with a new pair of concrete boots to go for a walk with the fishes.

Democrats are such cowards. Why can't they just have the debate and then the vote? The answer of course is because they would lose.
I'm sure you were just as incensed at cowardly Republicans who stalled Clinton apointees for political reasons, right jethro?
Trust me, same thing went on through the 90s.

I am not aware of these.
Trust me,....
Never.
well...you aren't aware of a lot of things.
well...you aren't aware of a lot of things.
Okay bright boy, point them out.
they were already pointed out to you and you said you weren't aware of it.
read this
well stemming the tide of judicail activism is legitmate. trying to circumvent the legislative process as liberal judges do, is wrong.
conservative good
liberal bad
gotcha
that's called hypocricy
and that is precisely what the Dems are currently trying to do.
you apparently don't understand the difference between liberal judges that legislate from the bench, meaning they take issues out of the legislative arena, and conservative judges in which, generally, the issues are left in the hands of the legislatures.
"you apparently don't understand the difference between liberal judges that legislate from the bench,"
Translation: They make rulings I don't agree with.
I understand....it's okay...if you are Republican
it's hypocricy
Translation: Bush stole the election.

Pledging to build a culture that respects life, President Bush is declaring a National Sanctity of Human Life Day.
of course, life doesn't include Iraqis apparently
Can't mix the issues, crabs, it is dishonest.
he's talking about life...we all have life in common
you can't separate life from any issue...it is dishonest.
no he was talking about butchering the innocent unborn. The Iraqi question regards the removal of evil and collateral damage. Intent, my man, is important.
collateral damage
that's another word for innocent life.
perhaps you want to change the word "fetus" to "collateral"
you want to impeach Bush?
wow
Focus, crabs, focus. The word is INTENT.
carpet bombing's INTENT is to kill people.
innocent people.
they are people...not collateral.
the INTENT is to remove the evil that is hiding behind the innocents.
Bush isn't hiding, is he?
this use of "evil" is so fucking devisive.
they think that WE are EVIL, you understand that, right?
There IS going to be a war. Can you get any more divisive than that?
you understand that they think we are evil too, don't you?
I know they are wrong.
and they know you are wrong as well
and they know you are wrong as well
That is what makes them wrong.
and that is what makes you wrong.
so...tell me
what exactly is it that you think is "evil", anyway?
