This is from Dave Barry: "Republicans hate the news media. They're up front about this. They basically come right out and say: 'We're prosperous and religious and patriotic and clean-cut, and you media people are communist atheistic dope addicts wearing clothes that look like they came from a store called the Fashion Dumpster.' I find this attitude refreshing. I'm always happier around Republicans, who are honestly hostile, than around Democrats, who really want the media to like them and who get all pouty when we note that they have the managerial competence of oatmeal."

Many don't. The other day, I claimed that it was correct for Iran to add the CIA to their terrorism list (which they did). A bunch of people complained and Yahoo removed my post due to "violation of community principles". When I complained, the same bunch told me it was ok for Yahoo to remove my post because it was utterly stupid to compare the Bush administration to Bin Laden.

So what is freedom of expression. It is simply the right of a person to express an opinion NO MATTER how stupid it might sound to a bunch of people. Freedom of expression has NOTHING to do with the quality of an opinion. Further, what you might think of as stupid may not be so to other people.

To many Americans, freedom of expression means you tell them what they want to hear. Everything else is conspiracy.

By the way, did you google Operation Northwoods?.

Get offended or have a bad time if much of the evening transcurred in another language than English?The party is in USA. We are having a Christmas gathering with our family, part living in USA (all USA citizens in case you were wondering) and part coming from our old country. We would mostly be speaking our language. We want to invite a dear friend but are worried he might not have a good time because he might not understand all that we are saying. Some people would speak to him in English too but you can say 70% of the evening will happen in another language. Should we rather not invite him?

uneducated, bible thumping, racists that hate the poor and Middle Easterners love Jews listen to Rush Limbaugh, and watch Fox news when you came to YA politics?

Feel free to add to the above list!

I chose to apply myself,put in the 120 hour weeks,take the risks,and sacrifice my health in order to become a successful business man.
I did this with the expectation of reaping the financial reward that is the end result of this undertaking.
Should I accept the "redistribution of wealth" that SOME Libs and democrats think is appropriate?

I work, well worked for the post office. I got a letter in the mail saying I was terminated. (the 1 yr or 180 day termination period for a TRC) I figured hey I finally got my raise and position because about 7 months back I took and passed the RCA exam so therefore I should be an RCA. I was never switched over in the paper work to say that I was an RCA so it still states that I'm a TRC and now have lost my job. They are in the process of trying to get me my job back but if they dont can I sue? possibly get reimbersment for the months that I was supposed to get paid alot more becuase of the position that I was supposed to have? and maybe for future days that I am or was supposed to work?

do you think it makes good sense, and do you think it is justified for the government to throw people behind iron bars, break up families, and take people's money for getting high in the privacy of their own home? i happen to think it's a little nazi-ish, but that's just me. what do you think?

I am a fiscal, and for the most part social conservative, but in public I will no longer identify myself as such because the word has been hijacked by morons who deny global warming and deny evolution and actually continue to support a prsedient who has BANKRUPTED the country.

I hate to say it, but I miss Bill Clinton.

Some people say it destroys the sanctity of marriage, but isn't that a religion view, which should be separated by state.
besides, its not truely marriage, because marriage is covered by religion, and civil union recognized by the state.

more marriages would create more families looking to buy houses and pay taxes, and isn't that a good thing?

and some people, as i was on a previous question on yahoo answers, say that its not love, its physical attraction. but isn't that just as true for hetrosexual couples

from that same link, some one else says that what gives them the right to redefine marriage, and then compares it to redefining murder as good! Who gets hurt from gay marriage!?! This guy, as many do, claims we are invoking the wrath of God, but once again, that doesn't satisfy separation of church/state?

Some say its stops procreation, but if there gay, they aren't going to do that anyway

I just dont get it. can someone give me a logical reason why we shouldnt support it?

Suppose you're the POTUS. The army just caught ObL's second in command. Knowing he has information that can potentially save hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of lives, would you authorize the use of torture to extract that info? Why or why not?

I have 3 different recent examples.
1.The media tryed to smear Bill O'reilly as a racist. I listened to his radio show that day. He was trying to say that racism is stupid, & that White people shouldn't be scared to go into black neighborhoods.
2.Rush Limbaugh. I don't like Rush Limbaugh, but I think he was right in his commentary about the Democrats using phony soldiers to further their anti-war agenda. But most of the people in the media are slamming him for his comments.
3.Larry Craig. The media is covering the Larry Craig incident to make the Republicans look like stupid hypocrites. In 1989 Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Barney Frank admitted a lengthy relationship with a male hooker who ran a bisexual prostitution service out of Frank's apartment. What Barney frank did was much worse then what Larry Craig did. And he is still in congress, & gets interviews on television.

My 10 year old son and I are being asked (told) to leave our home, because the owners couldn't sell the property at the outrageous price of $800,000 for a 4-plex, so have decided to make it a rehabilitation home for alcoholics, and drug users.
Should I be PO'D as heck?
Yes it is legal for them to do this, to good families.

I asked a question earlier, and everyone gave me strength and support to fight for my sons rights. He is in first grade and was denied water as a form of punishment. What everyone didn't know is my sons a fighter too, he told me today that he held on to the school bus and kept begging for water, he didnt want to give up. He finally had to physically be carried on the bus. Jake has had test ran to see if he had a tumor for his excessive thirst, but thank God none was found. He layed on the floor that day sobbing and shaking, scared me too death!, I still cant believe they wouldnt just let him have a drink to quinch his thirst after giving the children an extra recess on a warm day, and every other child got water but my son. My husband got a simple apology from the teacher, but the principal hung up on me. She said I was just mean, because I was outraged. She wanted to tell me how nice the teacher was, and I didn't want to hear it. Now I need legal help, but dont have a lot of $. Thanks
