I was just joking about the gay texas thing...

Anyways, you said

<< Proud to say Texas has not been carried by a Democrat in the last three presidential elections. >>



Didn't yall have a female, democrat governor a few years ago ? Thats pretty "liberal"...



BTW...the last time yall voted Democrat in the presidential election was in 1976 beween Carter, Ford and Reagan......7 elections ago..

Admittedly, some campus groups and/or individuals on a variety of campuses are notorious for stealing copy of conservative rags and haggling (or protest walkouts) of conservative speakers. The first is kinda criminal . . . it's definitely bad but I'm not exactly sure about how illegal it is to take free copies; albeit you're taking all of them. The second is definitely rude. Both are clearly contrary to an educative environment and violate not only the rights of those that would like to hear those ideas but also the rights of people who are denied an opportunity to hear those ideas.

this isnt news at all. in fact this happens so often that its typical, and thus ignored by the mainstream libral media. librals thrive on a "we've been held back" mentality and conspiracy theories. but when you call them on it, then they label you a racist. hell you cant even say OJ is guilty w/out a black guy looking at you like your a kkk grandmaster wannabe or whatever. As for "the extreme right is just as bad" well thats just crap. yes, some pro lifers do some stupid stuff but at least their actions are based on high moral values and not extreme ignorance.

as for these racist chicanos, well they prolly migrated to the US and are now bitter cause they havnt been spoon fed everything their whole lives. get over it you ungrateful bastards! i think bush should increase INS ten fold and couple them w/ the fbi. get these ungrateful sob's out of the country!

sounds like a conspiracy theory u have there eh?

i'm sure your basing this on your conversation with colen powell eh? making stupid generalizations...

high moral values? sending white powder to planned parent hood clinics during the 9/11 disaster was highly moral. making websites with hitlists of doctors with their home addresses is highly moral. crossing their names off as they are assassinated using sniper rifles is highly moral. i'm sure you could call palestinian suicide bombers that kill children in pizzarias highly moral by that standard. they aren't highly moral, they are highly convinced they are right and are devinely superior to anyone that might disagree with them.

<< The consrvative/liberal bent of MECha hasn't been established, nor is it even an issue. Yet you and others would like it to be.
Lame!
>>


No...MEChA is pretty liberal if it matters...


<< i'm sure your basing this on your conversation with colen powell eh? making stupid generalizations... >>


He didn't say all, he said "a black guy."

a = one

I'm sure there's at least one black guy in the US who is down with OJ :)

Yeah and for every one there's apparently two white women . . .

Not to start an OJ thread but forget the polls . . . I think most people of all colors, creeds, ethnicities (races don't count) thought and continue to believe that OJ is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

as for these racist chicanos, well they prolly migrated to the US and are now bitter cause they havnt been spoon fed everything their whole lives. get over it you ungrateful bastards! i think bush should increase INS ten fold and couple them w/ the fbi. get these ungrateful sob's out of the country!

Damn somebody take your cucumber-picking job? Try reading a newspaper someday . . . FoxNews will rot your brain. Bush proposed amnesty last year for millions of those "ungrateful bastards". But I agree with you . . . every country can keep their racists . . . we've got plenty already. Now if only they were spayed and neutered.

not really, suppression of speech sux regardless of the political affiliation. Liberals may disproportionately shout down speakers and steal papers but Conservatives go out of their way to end public funding for speech they disagree with. Ashcroft is so damn square he put a drape on a statue.

um yes if you take the phrase out of the context of the sentence you are correct, but he used it in a generalized sense. go read it again


but when you call them on it, then they label you a racist. hell you cant even say OJ is guilty w/out a black guy looking at you like your a kkk grandmaster wannabe or whatever.


said "black guy" is a generalzation of any black guy around.

<< Berkely is beyond Liberal and borders on anarcho-socialism. >>


I really like that quote for some reason... and I go to Cal, although it's probably not as true today as it was in the 60's.

What b0mbrman said about Daily Cals being stolen for printing controversial viewpoints, is true. Here at the "school of free speech", one's speech is only truly free if you agree with the prevailing ideology.

Those who stole those newspapers are outright criminals, but it's unlikely that they'll be caught since the security cameras in the building weren't working.

It's interesting to see how many tangents this thread has traversed. Abortion, gay couples in Texas, OJ, symantics...

their take on it, and maybe your take on it, but it isn't a cut and dry issue. your obviously a pro lifer so trying to get you to admit that they are just as deranged as a suicide bomber is impossible. as all extremists do they take one stance and nothing is out of the question when fighting for their cause. they might be the warriors of jesus to you, but they are like any other crackpots to me. its their way or the highway. ask a kkk or neonazi about their believes and they'll tell you about how their morality works, and how they have religious justification to impose their will upon others.

<< Last time I checked, it was conservatives who are in favor of banning books for their salacious contents. NO GROUP is ever innocent. >>



You're right, they were in favor of book banning. But none of them actually went in the library to burn them secretely or attacked the liberal movement (opposition) to make sure they wouldn't offer opposition. Liberals are a lot more radicals than conservative. They just believe that they should be an exception to the law because they are not 100% satisfied with the system....
