11/15   how do Freepers like the Left Behind books?
        \_ What a "Left Behind" book?  --!freeper
           \_ Bunch of religious-oriented action/adventure type novels
              apparently written around the apocalypse.  Lots of hype in
              the press around it recently.  I read some excerpts, and the
              writing quality is pretty abominable (as opposed to most other
              action/adventure type novels).  I think it's mainly a case of
              targeting content at a certain demographic group, i.e. giving
              the plebes what they want to read.  -John
              \_ I'm a Christian. I'm one of the ones who gives money to
                 the Church (from an earlier topic). I do not like the
                 "Left Behind" books: that kind of apocalypse story
                 doesn't interest me and I agree the writing quality
                 stinks. The movie version's got Kirk Cameron, so it's
                 gotta be good, right?
        \_ conservative != christian necessarily.
           It's a political ruse used by the left.
           \_ bullshit.  The reason the two have been lumped together is
              that the vocal, annoying christian minority, the kind that
              loves the left behind books, is overwhemlingly republican.
              Add to that the fact that the current repblican leadership is
              practically wallowing in it's fundieism and it becomes hard NOT
              to link the two. -aspo
              \_ A implies B does not mean B implies A.  Did you graduate?
                 From Cal?  I already knew they'd let any idiot in but do they
                 let any idiot graduate?
              \_ Well said.
                 \_ Not really.  Not even if you're grinding the same axe.
              \_ Neither Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Howard Stern, Dr. Laura,
                 nor Larry Elder, are Bible believing Christians.  Is banning
                 partial birth abortion so evil?
                 \_ Look, I'm not saying if you are conservative you have to
                    be a christian, raving or otherwise.  I'm saying the reason
                    many people equate the two are because of the actions of
                    a very vocal and strong compenent of the republican party,
                    the party most people associate with conservative values.
                    Don't blame "the left" for this misconception, blame those
                    that have wrapped fundementalist christian agendas into
                    the republican party line.  -aspo
                    \_ "most associated" by who exactly?  the leftist agenda
                       driven pseudo mainstream press?  yeah thought so. Just
                       how much acid, pot, and whatever does it take to get to
                       where you are now?  just curious.
                \_ the term partial birth abortion is pretty inventive,
                   go read http://csua.org/u/599 . yes i realize
                   i have no hope of influencing the poster of the
                   above. - danh
                   \_ if partial birth abortions are so rare and so necessary
                      than would you object to a ban on PBAs except in cases
                      where it is medically necessary?
           \_ so you're just the secularly righteous type?
              \_ True atheist (not the nutty religion hating type) and true
                 conservative here.  We exist.  Thanks for noticing.  -!op

        http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/individual/#CAI01
        \_ Because people who live near the coast tend to be more wealthy
           and worldly, while people stuck inland tend to be landlocked

If there's an overcharge, like we think there is, we expect that money to be repaid,'' Mr. Bush said this afternoon as he and his chief spokesman sought to distance the White House from a continuing controversy over Iraq-related work being done by Halliburton, which was once headed by Vice President Dick Cheney. But it was clear that questions about the politically well-connected company may continue to nettle the White House. Asked whether Halliburton might be an albatross around this administration's neck, '' the president replied: I expect anybody doing business with the United States government to be transparent, and to give the taxpayers a good return on their money. But Pentagon officials have said the company did not appear to have profited from overcharges but rather may have initially paid a subcontractor too much. Halliburton has vigorously denied any overcharges, declaring in a statement that it welcomes a thorough review of any and all of our government contracts,'' and asserting that the Pentagon inquiry is routine in any event. The company has said, too, that fuel deliveries in a combat zone are inherently costly. Earlier today, the president's chief spokesman, Scott McClellan, tried to characterize Halliburton and its contracts as the bailiwick of the Pentagon, not the White House. We expect the Pentagon to look at this and get to the bottom of it,'' Mr. Rumsfeld also encountered the Halliburton issue, in a generally friendly question-answer session at a meeting today of the National Conference of State Legislatures in the capital. A Minnesota lawmaker said she was concerned about apparent overcharging by Halliburton and urged Mr. Rumsfeld replied that he was not intimately knowledgeable'' about the affair. We've got auditors that crawl all over these things,'' Mr. He emphasized that while there had been disagreements over charges, there had not yet been any actual overpayments. McClellan, when asked whether the White House was planning any changes to guard against similar problems, indicated that no new measures were contemplated. This was a matter, a contracting matter, that was decided at the Pentagon,'' Mr. There are some oversight measures that are in place to make sure that tax dollars are protected, to make sure that tax dollars are being spent appropriately. And from our standpoint, we expect those measures and procedures that are in place for oversight purposes to be followed,'' Mr. Democrats have had a field day with the Halliburton affair, asserting that the company is gouging taxpayers,'' as Representative Henry A. McClellan was asked today whether, in retrospect, it would have been better if Halliburton had never gotten any contracts. Support For a Potential Tax Break (October 28, 2003) $ .
