12/12 Pop quiz:
President Bush today announced two actions.
1. He will cut federal funds for winter heat assistance to the
poorest people in America.
2. He will permit faith-based groups to use federal funds to
practice religious discrimination.
For 10 points, which of these actions was compassionate and which
action was conservative?
For 5 points extra credit, would a faith-based group include Wiccans?
\_ What's wrong with this? He just wants you to pray before you
get a lump of coal in your sock.
\_ hey did you read that WSJ editorial about how
there isn't sufficient public outrage on taxes because
most really really poor people don't pay much taxes, percentage
wise, humorously calling them "lucky duckies"? that was great.
\_ Pop quiz: 1) you're a leftist troll or 2) you're a trolling leftist.
If you could at least get the news items right without tainting the
descriptions with your personal bias maybe there'd be something to
talk about. You're just wasting bits like this. If you were a
conservative poster you'd already have been censored.
\_ Actually the news items weren't biased in any way:
http://tinyurl.com/3irw - heating cuts
http://tinyurl.com/3is0 - faith-based groups - note the stuff
about allowing discrimination
\_ I would suspect neither. He sounds more like a trolling
Democrat. There is no major leftist party in the United
States. Take a quick look at the leftist movement in Canada
last decade if you need an accessable example. For that
matter, George W. Bush is not a conservative president.
The Federal government will have expanded more in his two years
that the entire eight years with Clinton once the Homeland
Security bill goes into effect.
\_ Do you consider HRC a standard party line Democrat? She's
certainly a leftist.
\_ Uh huh. Who gave David Horowitz a csua account?
\_ You think she's *not* a leftist?
\_ Correct. Leftist is not a synonym for liberal,
except to the kooks. Look up the word "leftist"
in the dictionary or better yet, plug it into
a search engine and see what you get.
\_ Correct! Conservative and liberal no longer accurately
describe either of the two dominant parties. We need
new, more descriptive labels. Vote now:
-- evil, good:
-- miserly, shopaholic:
-- machiavellian, pollyanna: .
-- thieves, adulterers:
-- mother grabbers, grabbing mothers:
-- my side, your side:
-- six, half a dozen: ..
\_ No, you need to worship a real God. The Lord. Him. Wiccan? Don't
they worship Satan? That will not do. It's not a real religion.
\_ there are no real gods.
\_ Except Tom. He's a Perl God.
\_ ???
\_ no, some are integer, but most imaginary
\_ "He seemed so certain about everything, didn't he? And yet
none of his certainties was worth one hair of a woman's
head. He wasn't even sure he was alive, because he was
living like a dead man. Whereas it looked as if I was the
one who'd come up emptyhanded. But I was sure about me,
about everything, surer than he could ever be, sure of my
life and sure of the death I had waiting for me. Yes, that
was all I had. But at least I had as much of a hold on it as
it had on me." --The Stranger, Albert Camus
\_ Son, I say, son, quoting Camus? You might as well just
bit of self-pride that we think we have will be gone
before death consumes us.
before death consumes us. Have you tasted death, the
wave your ACLU membership card around too.
\_ I'm proud of the ACLU, I think defending our civil

liberties is important.
\_ so do i. what does that have to do with the ACLU
though? they don't defend *my* civil liberties,
but then i don't belong to some pc entitlement class.
\_ To which civil liberties are you referring?
\_ The right to burn a cross on my own front lawn.
\_ That's not the ACLU, pal.
\_ Why would you want to burn a cross on your
front lawn? Is that some kind of sexual
fetish?
\_ Life is just like masturbation. a constant,
uncontrollable search for temporal pleasures,
only to find disappointments, and in the end,
emptiness.
\_ What the hell do Camus and the ACLU have in common?
\_ Hold? Nah, we have no hold on anything. We will all come
up empty-handed. It is all emptiness. Even the little
bit of pride and nonchalance that we think we have will be
gone before death consumes us. Have you tasted death, the
feeling of life slowly but surely draining away?
There is no peace. It is no rest. There is no hope.
Just the cold, the darkness and emptiness, foreboding
and relentlessly approaching.
\_ "when masturbation's lost its fun"
\_ You are right. Life is just like masturbation
- a constant, uncontrollable search for temporal
pleasures, only to find disappointments, and in the
end, emptiness.
\_ You're not doing either correctly.
\_ It is not a matter of technique. It is a
matter of essense. |
