FREEDOM

Just a point of etiquette, please quote the person whom you are referring to, for clarity.

so does that mean the liberal media is stupid?

If that is what you have interpreted my comments to mean, then you should try again.

It is a fallacy to say that intellect precludes a woman from being beautiful.

Testosterone has nothing to do with bigotry and hatred, intellect does though. I'm just saying....

"No, we don't have boiled peanuts at this gas station"

South Carolina: Remember The Civil War? We Didn't Actually Surrender

So true.....

Seeing as these sentiments seem to pervade the RUB forum, is this blatant homophobia and embrace of fascism indicative of trends towards homophobia in that area?

so you're close minded and ignorant you're saying?

So, just like you and your blind and irrational hatred of Obama?

Where are you getting that?

What I'm saying is it's hypocritical of people to think someone is wrong for wanting to assassinate our citizens when we have no problem invading sovereign nations and assassinating theirs.

We don't assassinate world leaders, that would be in breach of the Geneva Convention. Regime change, where we put said leader on trial is more our style. Nevermind that it is basically a kangaroo court.

I think they would too. If you type something like that you may get a visit. At the very least you'll be "on the list" with me and all the other freedom-loving Americans the NSA, CIA, FBI, BATFE, etc., are actively monitoring.

Never forget they're passively monitoring everyone and if you type certain keywords or go to certain sites, you'll be flagged for "active" monitoring.

LOL, you're right about that. I was going to do a google search for the exact verbiage, but had second thoughts before I pressed enter. I remember when I was in college, there was a rapper named Paris who was investigated and hassled for years and years after he made a skit about assassinating President Bush.

Usually, I'll dismiss your paranoia, but regarding internet spying, I agree.

Inaccurate? Really?

Offensive? Only if you find the truth offensive.

The DEMOCRATIC party has worked its butt off for decades now to try and make sure that as many minorities as possible stay on welfare cradle to grave.

The party of the KKK is still alive and well, despite what they try and tell you to your face.

So you're ok with stereotypes as long as they actually do pertain to a minority of people in the offended group? Your delusional paranoid ideals are getting old Paul. If we applied your flawed reasoning to todays republican party, we would assume that the RNC convention is a klan rally. Are there some democrats that don't see the big picture and advocate increasing entitlements? Sure, but they are the minority. Just as I don't think the Westboro Baptist church is indicative of all christians, nor is David Duke a fair representative of republicans. Your absurd hackneyed commentary is old and played, time for a new trick Paul.

They would be wrong.

OK Captain Pedant. But it is none the less a major crime.

How can I show something that doesn't exist?

How is that treason? Insurrection, perhaps. Conspiracy to commit murder, most certifiably.

I think the secret service would disagree with you Bill.

We are Libertarians, there are no Libertarian Republicans. I vote for Libertarians, including President, most of the time (Reagan was the last Republican I voted for) I voted for Leahy and Sanders and he is a a stated Socialist!

So the conclussion we can draw is that you in fact support socialism. Why else vote for a socialist?

Absolutely. We feel it's just fine to invade sovereign nations and assassinate people. Why can't others do it?

So you are advocating the murder/assassination of our president? Are you really suggesting that treason is a good idea?

THe reason is as Big Dog said.... to get a complete picture.

No it isn't, you're just trying to score cheap points here. Is there any evidence that any of it this is true, other than the disputed tales of Ralph Abernathy?

Would it be fair or truthful to present DR. King as this great spiritual leader who in all ways was selfless.... when in fact we know there was this whole other side to him one that ran contrary to his public persona?

Danno, this is a nice red herring. You dismiss the original premise, and supplant it with your flawed tangent. The issue is covering up the misdeeds of this country in its founding years as a means to portray our founding fathers in a better light. The issues at hand are well documented and can be shown within historical context. I don't see what teaching kids rumors about Dr. King would accomplish. None of the claims against him have been verified. I would hope your standard for curriculum would be beyond teaching rumors.

If Newts 3 marriages are sure to be noted in the history books, why not Martins countless bed groupies?

I doubt it, but maybe they will one day teach a course on the duality of politicians rise to power and hypocrisy.

Just the fact that we address him with the title of Doctor of Divinity... is a fraud and you know it, where it nearly anyone else his Doctorate would have been stripped when the basis of it was so heavily flawed and dishonest..... I mean what kind of person in Divinity School cheats?

I'll agree with you here. There is a lot of evidence that shows that he did plagiarize his doctoral thesis. I guess the bigger question is why do they offer a doctorate in theology? That seems quite a useless endeavor.

But even so, I think his greater work... his contribution should be the focus in primary text books.... not his short comings and for the same reason I think this "Bashing of the founders" is wrong.

Another red herring Danno. Issues like slavery, internment of Japanese American citizens and the trail of tears are integral parts of our history that cannot be denied. I think Santayana said it best "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". Or is that your goal Danno?

Just look at the title of this subject:Tennessee Tea Party Wants Slavery Removed From School Textbooks To Make Founding Fathers Look Good[/b]

The suggestion is that the founders weren't good and coverup is under way.

What kind of sick view do these folks have of this country?

Wrong. The suggestion is that the tea party is advocating that we cover up certain inconvenient truths in our history to make our founding fathers look good.

It is pretty bold to print. But... it's probably been discussed.

I'm sure it is being discussed by our domestic terrorist militia groups as well. So do you think that gives it any more merit?

Complete pictures are good but as when you are taking a photo of someone , the farther you backup to get "everything in".... the more insignificant the real subject in the photo becomes.

I wonder, in the spirit of "getting everything is" if we should then include all the moral failing of Dr King when presenting this lesson in class.

The intellectual property theft, The betrayal of his calling to Ministry by pursuing all these sexual relationships with women.

certainly if Thomas Jeffersons suspected sex life is relevant, in so many class rooms MLKs should be as well.

You seem to be mistaking curriculum for literary innuendo. I have never even heard of Thomas Jefferson's penchant for bending his slaves over taught in a classroom, so why would you want to focus on the failings of Dr. King? I know you don't like him or support his message Danno, but I would hope for consistency in the schools.

Certainly if the supposed inconsistencies of the Founders are meaningful why wouldn't MLKs ripping off his Doctrinal theses .... not add more education to the subject?

When the "I have a dream" Speech is presented in Class, should the kids also know it was taken in part from another Black Preacher?

No, no, it seems "getting the complete picture" is only appealing in certain areas.

Danno, at least tell the truth on this one. I have a dream speech was not plagiarized. The only similarity is using lyrics to "My Country Tis Of Thee". Here is the snopes entry, which if you actually read it, shows the two parts of the speeches in question. It does go into his plagiarism while a doctoral student at BU as well.

Snopes

So she's bi-sexual leaning towards same sex relationships. What's the issue, Danno?

Ding ding ding!

Too bad Danno and his ilk will simply hold onto this misnomer as their proof that gay people choose their lifestyle.

I wonder Danno, how do you know you're heterosexual and not homosexual. If as you say, sexuality is a mere choice that we make at some point in life, I'd like to know when you made that decision. Did you compare it to other alternatives, or did you just go straight to hetero? I hope you made an informed decision, and not an nescient assumption with no information to support your claims and decision.

If you read the article carefully, you'll see that Cynthia Nixon is saying that she was not born gay, she has chosen to be gay. That stance is very controversial among gays.

Actually, if you read the article carefully, you'll see that Cynthia Nixon is partially mistaken. She is bi-sexual, not homosexual. It is her choice to enter into a homosexual relationship with her current partner, based on biological urges she has. However, she has said several times that she still finds men attractive, she just prefers women at this time.

"Yes! I am upset anyone would bother to teach Blacks, Native Americans, or any other minority, especially Blacks and Gays, actually played any role in US or World history,"

That's all you have to say Danno, your position is transparent.

If it's not in the text books, how can I back it up?

Adler goes on to write: “Yes, you read “three correctly.” Order a hit on a president in order to preserve Israel’s existence. Think about it. If have thought of this Tom-Clancy-type scenario, don’t you think that this almost unfathomable idea has been discussed in Israel’s most inner circles?”

Wow, that's pretty bold to print that. I hope he enjoys his stay in an undisclosed location somewhere in eastern Europe.

Why is it the U.S. job to make sure that Israel is safe?

Good point +1

Pakistan and India are mortal enemies. N. Korea stated aims is to unify and/or destroy the South. And so on. We don't like Iran so we take the lead to pin point them.

These nations while you say they are mortal enemies are far more stable than Iran. Iran has a state goal of destroying Israel, and have direct ties to Hamas, a terrorist group and recognized government of Palestine.
