In fact, if anything, I was impressed by just how impotent the RR really is in this country.

If anything, our rights are being taken away by both sides equally. If it isn't the RR trying to ban pornography, add censorship to video games, ban the sales of violent video games to adults, and so on, then you have the lefties on another whole separate set of issues.

In the end, it all boils down to what you believe in and what you find acceptable.

I said it before and I'll say it again, Christians rule the U.S.A

Oh and RIP Terri.

Going without food or water is a fvcked up way of dying.

Porn is still legal and video games are still violent.

As I was saying, the RR is largely impotent. They make a big stink, but almost always fail.

The nanny-state authoritarian left, though. Well, let's just imagine the list of nanny-state laws that have been passed and save me the time of typing out a near endless list, OK?

If only.

The Fund-A-Mentals will be in an uproar now and will demand Bush do something to prevent this from happening again (read, push for the confirmation of more conservative judges to the Federal courts).


It's far from over.

Take your trolling back to P&N where it belongs.

WTF?

So, the Fund-A-Mentals and the authoritarian right were NOT trying to interfere in a private family matter? That legislation passed by Congress (note that only 3 Republican Senators were present on the Sunday it was passed by the Senate...how convenient) and signed by the President that involves only a single US citizen is not an egregious use of the Federal government?

Notice that they failed. Yet again.

As I was saying in my post previous to this one, they make a big stink. The press makes the stink even bigger. But in the end, they almost always fail on the national level.

The Nation mourns the death? Give me a flippin' break

Correction: As the Religious Fundies mourn.....

I guess it's to much ask that they rejoice for her now that she's joined that big pinata party in the sky

True. I really felt sad for the woman, I really did. I sympathized with her (when the story first broke a few years ago).

But it's recently that the furvor has gotten out of hand and people coming out of the woodworks trying to keep alive what is basically a vegetable. The constant media attention, the 24-7 coverage, the President and the Congress getting involved in what is essentially a husband/wife matter. Then you have the religious whackos comparing her to Jesus and carrying around 4' replicas of Christ hanging on the cross. I mean, come on.

It's then that I started getting entirely fed up with the whole thing.

At least *I* know the difference between the right and the left, unlike your ignorant ass:

Scoll down to see Dave call "Neocons" socialist religious icon banners.

Prepare to be confused.

well, technically, the whole censorship of CDs, videogames, etc, was started by al gore's wife, then picked up by joe lieberman. now hilary is going after GTA.

Yeppers.

In fact, it was those leftists who got the stupid warning labels on games and music.

Folks, when you really add it up, the RR is a HUGE failure at getting ANYTHING done on a national level. And the little gains they make on local levels are nearly always thrown out by courts (creationism).

The RR is a political boogy man with no teeth.
