Frankly, and maybe this is my own arrogance talking, but I like to think of myself as better than a terrorist.

I mean, don't get me wrong there is "common ground". But on some issues it just seems you have to take that direct approach. And as far as you comparing that to "terrorist"...you are going to have to do better.

Affirmative action exists because of racism. And while that system is not without its own flaws, it has done an awful lot of good for the minorities in our country.

Yes. By telling them they aren't "good" enough...so they need "special help"!

No, because it is just NOT TRUE. You can't make a claim and then have really nothing to back it up with...

Ann Coulter has written numerous books that prove otherwise, though.

I stand by my comparison.
The terrorists are using strong-armed tactics to force us into agreeing with them, and that's exactly what these extremist right-wingers are doing.

No, by telling employers that they are not allowed to discriminate against someone who doesn't happen to be white and/or Christian.

See...it just explains itself.

"extremist right-wingers"...can't we just ever be "conservatives"? I guess that's too much to ask.

That's certainly not doing anything constructive that might help alleviate our nation's woes.

"It's what you do and not what you say,
If you're not part of the future, then get out of the way...."

Again, she ripped apart Kerry and Cleland, who both served honorably in Vietnam and never even questioned why no one remembering W at all in AL, after he was sent there for a cushy job after he lost his pilot's license that he obtained purportedly to serve his country with honor or Cheney's excuse that he had better things to do. She never presents a clear picture and that is the hallmark of a liar, which she is.

I am soooo looking for that on the net

You should, that show makes me laugh like no other. The kids are 30 years old by now, but I don't give a rat's ass.

And it's worth watching just to see Lois headlining a Burning Man parade topless.

Child - she must have sparked up a big ole doobie or dropped some acid with Maher and then thought "what kind of BS can I come up with to make another million off these rubes" -- I mean this mountebank actually pandered:

1. Sen. McCarthy was a true American hero who never hurt any innocent for the sole purpose of advancing his career;

2. Republicans have better sex (married ones that is and since she is not, she should not be having it)

3. Fake outrage at the current Sup. Ct. nominee when everyone with a brain knows W has nominated a hard a$$ religious nut.

How people cannot see through that blatant deception is beyond me. But, flies follow the stench.

I use the term "extremist right-wingers" to differentiate between the radicals and the rational conservatives.

But, hey, if you think the two groups are interchangeable, then I'll be happy to oblige!

Oh, wait... that's your rebuttal.
