Big Ol' Smitty

Neither cared much for the Jews.

This one is supposed to feature a lot less Moore on screen, which is a good thing.

You have to have a government that's willing to provide some assistance, re-training, & aid to the people whose jobs were outsourced. And to make sure their pensions and other benefits aren't gutted by the fleeing companies.

The Truth on Iraq.

You are indeed.

Both immigration and globalization (yes, even outsourcing), in a nation administered by a competent government, could be very good things for the economy.

There are a lot of really shitty Democrats, but 142 voted against this, as John Boner would say, shit. A big hearty fuck you to my Representative, Ben Chandler (D-KY-6).

There was a day when you were.

You're acting as if, historically, the majority of immigrants didn't come here for economic benefit. The people at Ellis Island definitely weren't all political refugees and weren't all fleeing dictatorships. Plus, the economic & political situation in Mexico & Central America isn't exactly wine & roses. Two more general points: 1.) Most economists agree that immigration is a net benefit to the economy. 2.) Immigrant populations have a lower crime rate than the general population.

I don't know a lot about this bill, but I know I don't like the guest worker program idea.

Media Matters is a left wing smear site, that's really not up for debate. Again, you feel the way you do, and that's fine, I'm not trying to make you change your beliefs. I on the other hand need more than some dubious facts from a site that has been known to misrepresent pundits and politicians that don't agree with their liberal agenda. I think spman actually is Bill O'Reilly posting here on the board. Read the fucking statement and see if it's out of context, guy. Basically all MediaMatters does is post the transcript of dumb shit O'Reilly says. Rather than calling them "dubious facts" and saying no more, why don't you explain what makes what ErnieRowe posted "dubious?" Seriously, man, "left wing smear site" is straight out of the O'Reilly Bullshit Cliche Lexicon: 3rd Edition (Harper-Collins Press, NY).

Sam Brownback says hi.

Hitchens was great there.

There was a younger gay guy that I used to work with who used to attend Liberty and was actually pretty close with the Falwell family. This was all, of course, before he came out and was disowned by his family. My friend and college roommate freshman year actually transferred to Kentucky from Liberty mostly because he didn't like not being able to hold hands with his girlfriend and stuff.

Eh, perhaps that was a little harsh, Invader. All I'm saying is that you seem to be saying, "oh, there's two sides to this debate and people are just not going to agree." What I'm saying is there is no defense of this guy, & that ANKLELOCK's & spman's respective defenses of the Reverend are wrongheaded.

Bullshit, Invader. There's no justification for the diseased bullshit this guy spewed and for you to tie this bloated turd to other Christians is insulting to them.

You really thought a couple folks would go to bat for Jerry?

Alright, then, let's throw some more out there and see what sticks.

Um...he said 9/11 happened because of teh ghey.

Mostly killing babies, spitting on soldiers, & oppressing Christians all across the land.

Your liberal media at work. Here are the first three questions asked in the first Democratic debate & the first Republican debate. First, the questions for the Democrats: Now, the questions for the Republicans.

I haven't read that one yet! Could you give us a review? If it's by Papa Bear, it's gotta be good!
