Politics - 14 December 2007

A Frenchman, an American Liberal, and an American Conservative are convicted of treason during the French Revolution and sentenced to the guillotine.

The Frenchman walks up to the guillotine, says “Viva la France”, puts his head in, and the executioner pulls the trip, the blade stops 1 inch from his neck. The executioner says “It is an act of God, you are free to go”.

The American Liberal walks up to the guillotine, says “Give me Liberty or Give me Death”, puts his head in, and the executioner pulls the trip, the blade stops 1 inch from his neck. The executioner says “It is an act of God, you are free to go”.

The American Conservative looks the executioner right in the eye and says “You know, if you put some grease in the grooves that thing would work at lot better”.

Say a few liberal hippies who want to be artists get pregnant in order to have abortions, to use the aborted fetuses in a sculpture to be later sold at auction for up to $1,000,000. Is this art, is this legal and do you support abortion?

She seems to be regaining weight and have bags under her eyes lately, I think. Is this big effort to push Obama forward giving her some stress or what? She sounds tired and distracted. I cannot imagine what she is after. Stars like Barbara Streisand have wreck their credibility and popularity by going political and looking foolish in the long run. What will become of Opera when the dust settles. Her watershed of popularity

"Climatologists have analyzed the global warming that has occurred since the late 1800's. A MAJORITY of climatologists have concluded that human activities are responsible for most of the warming. Human activities contribute to global warming by enhancing Earth's natural greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect warms Earth's surface through a complex process involving sunlight, gases, and particles in the atmosphere. Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are known as greenhouse gases.

British hooligans at the boxing match between Mayweather 7 Hatton in Vegas last Saturday night? It was kind of hushed over by the press...do you think the British should have apologised or at least the British fans punished in some way? They also ruined the fight with strange singing and throwing debris into the ring...

Some are screaming "separation of church and state". It's funny that a few years ago when the Reverend Al Sharpton was running for president no one had a problem with a minister running for the office. Or when the Reverend Jackson ran for president no one had a problem with a minister running for the office. Can anyone show me in the Constitution where it says that a minister can't run for president? Explain how this situation would violate the establishment clause.

Hillary is saying she isn't behind her staffers statements concerning Obama's drug use.
Since she is the one who wants to be President,isn't she responsible for the actions of those working for her campaign?
President Bush is held accountable for everything that occurs on his watch;why shouldn't she be held to the same standard of accountability?

How many Americans have seen one of the 20 or so estates that the Bushes REALLY live in?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bushhaus2.JPG

And why do they keep comparing Al Gore's central home and offices to just one of Bushes properties?

Perhaps because that property is the ONLY one that has solar panels?

How serious do you think the credit problem is when a bill for a bailout passed the Senate on a 93 to 1 vote and the president is asking the House to have the bill on his desk before year end for his signature?

Seems like an awful lot of urgency on this matter.

Is the truth so scary that you have to lie? When you ask why Satan is supporting Hillary or Barrack is an Islamic Terrorist, don't you think that just hurts your cause?

Would you be offended if a Jewish person said "Happy Hannukah' to you ?. . . I'm not Jewish but I'll tell ya I wouldn't be the least bit offended .

Tell me 'Happy Kwanza' and I'll smile and say 'Happy Kwanza to you too' .

Put a sign up in your store that says 'Happy Hannukah' and I'll just say 'more power to ya' .

So for me , this whole BS of 'Holiday Greetings' and the rest of the hypocritical nonsense is just that. . . . . BS.
And although my 'Merry Christmas To You' isn't intended to offend , I really don't care if it does offend .

Answer the titled question and feel free to offer your opinions .. . . . . and do remember to . . . "Have yourself a Merry little Christmas" !!!

I know that Huckabee is probably the least likely to deal with it at all... considering that he says things like "Environmentalists are just those people who want to tell you what kind of deodorant to use."

It's safe to say that Al Gore is not running in this election.

But I honestly have no idea which candidates other than Obama have a plan to work with the IPCC like every other civilized nation.

In Wisconsin you don't have to register with a party to vote, you just have to register to vote. I like it that way, I don't think it's the state's business which party I choose to vote for.
