Huffy is as huffy does.

Feeling are not important. Truth is.

Feelings ARE important. Without feelings, there is no compassion, there is no charity, there is no love, there is no hope for humanity.

You don't get to define "truth".

You are right Gom is making Rich's point, but for the wrong reason. You got it backwards. Gom is saying Beck and Palin aren't conservative enough for him. They fail his conservative purity test.

Arlo, it makes me sad when you are unkind to my mother. And it also makes me angry. Mostly it makes me feel that my site is a failure. Please be more considerate of the feelings of other people, given that we have irreconcilable differences concerning truth. Since this is the case, our only options are to be kind to one another, or escalate our differences until we are at war. And I will not have war on my site.

Unless that individual is an immigrant, gay, foreign looking, a Muslim, an atheist, a communist, or a liberal.



Yep, because Jesus wrote the Constitution.



Just so long as its big enough to peek into your bedroom and also maintain hundreds of military bases in over a hundred nations.



Just so long as the individual isn't a member of certain groups.



And what is right and wrong is whatever conservative Christians say it is.



And volunteers should speak English only please.



Not to mention through the protection and market infrastructures provided by government. No really, please don't mention it. Shhh.



And "everyone" includes all people except for certain Republican government officials in office after 9/11/01.



Especially when it's hate filled.



Indubitably.

"Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1785

"The rich alone use imported articles, and on these alone the whole taxes of the General Government are levied. The poor man who uses nothing but what is made in his own farm or family, or within his own country, pays not a farthing of tax to the general government, but on his salt; and should we go into that manufacture also, as is probable, he will pay nothing. Our revenues liberated by the discharge of the public debt, and its surplus applied to canals, roads, schools, etc., the farmer will see his government supported, his children educated, and the face of his country made a paradise by the contributions of the rich alone, without his being called on to spend a cent from his earnings." Thomas Jefferson to Thaddeus Kosciusko, 1811

Someone's mother is posting here? Aw man, I'll have to watch my language now.

Yeah, you better, Ozy!



I love the Jefferson quotes--

:)

Let me clarify that I don't believe that any single party or political philosophy has ownership of the totality of Jefferson's beliefs.

Ozymandias wrote:I totally agree! Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, liberals, conservatives, moderates, and others can all be patriotic Americans who love their country and wish to preserve its values. We all agree on that, even if we disagree on the details of governance. This is why I reacted so strongly to Arlo's views to the contrary.
