[/b] Because there are too many conservatives now protesting to ignore it. Bush certainly doesn't care about illegals. He doesn't care about traditional conservatives either. Unfortunately for him, traditional conservatives still form the greater part of his base. But if he keeps bringing...

Well, sure Pabst. If the price of giving up your country isn't too much to pay, yeah, go hell for leather. Posterity might judge you harshly, but hey, that's their problem. For all the economic immigration enthusiasts, why don't any of them ever bother to explain how Japan maintains living...

America was a nation of settlers, not immigrants. There are differences. It was the settlers who built the American nation and gave it its flavor that the later immigrants came to be assimilated into. This shouldn't be a hugely important point, but the way immigration enthusiasts go on and on...

I just want a better, more functional society, is what I want. It's not that I'm "drugs are bad" per se. In fact, I used to argue for ending prohibition, because I thought that would create better results. Since then, I've seen reason to change my mind. I just can't really be bothered...

No, I didn't understand what you meant. I guess you weren't "accepting" that this is the kind of thing you can expect from Muslim populations. So you're shocked that an Islamic regime was installed. But that, my friend, is democracy in action. You seem to think it's just some fundie elites...

Maybe you're not listening hard enough. From his "Heard 'em say" song: Before you ask me to go get a job today, can I at least get a raise on the minimum wage? And I know the government administer aids, Like most blacks (and all too many whites), no appreciation of how markets...

Muslims will kill him. Christians claim God will sort him out. Muslims are unquestionably real. The existence of God is debatable. It is incredible that you are willing to see equivalence, or are willing to postpone judgement, on the basis of such a flimsy, logically-flawed argument.

I'm not following you. You don't accept that Afghan Muslim masses are sincere in their beliefs, one of which is death to apostates? Again I don't follow. Isn't it clear that a government has been put into place that approves the killing of apostates? You know, such an event has taken place...

Would it, though? They seem awfully sure that if the state doesn't execute him, the people themselves will do the job. Would you bet against it? At some point, I think, we'll just have to accept that the "poor, weak and non-elites" are sincere in their Islamic beliefs. And Islam, whether...

Deposed him, too. Congrats on moderatorship, Pabst. (Does this mean it's open season on ZZzz? :))

Well, he was clearly very foolish to think so. Obviously that's a very liberal idea, to think that everything in the world would be A-OK if only there was pervasive democracy. I'm just curious, is your angst all spent on Bush? Or does some part of you feel that some of it should be reserved...

Well, yeah, obviously the town planners should have just asked you what the limit should be. God bless you Rearden, the way you endure these outrageous abrogations of your individual rights. Interestingly, you rag on me for despising homosexuality, on the premise that such thinking...

What about just sitting back and observing? Sooner or later some cretin will do something obscene, and the cops can take appropriate action. The hope would be that, in time, such stricter enforcement would lead to a change in attitudes towards such putrid levels of drunkenness. That would, of...

Right, but why blame Bush instead of blaming Islam? It's Islam that is condemning this man to death, not Bush. Sure, Bush had clearly bought into the liberal fantasies that all people are really just liberals deep-down, underneath; they just need to be given a chance to prove it. Well...

Lol, no shit. Namely the fact that its people are Muslims. Not much you can do about that, unfortunately. Not even "historic" elections - the supposed key to all things good - taking place seem to have been enough to help the poor sap there who's recently been charged with the horrendous...

Yeah, who could possibly know, huh? Cops deal with thug types every day of their lives, but perish the thought of letting them decide who's had "too much". We'll simply have to let civil rights lawyers decide, I guess; they're so much smarter.

Why so little faith in the police? Do you really think they're incapable of judging when someone's had "too much"? If they can do it for street types, why not in bars? Obviously I'm not cheering an outright ban on drinking in bars; I just want to see things kept in moderation. Everything...

The funny thing is you probably really believe that, don't you? I just don't want to see them and their whole sordid culture celebrated and elevated to the equal of heterosexual norms, that's all. Sure, I'd prefer them to shut about their homosexuality, but that's an organic thing - if our...

What's the big deal? Obviously public intoxication is a big problem. I don't know what it's like in Texas, but in Australia, come Friday or Saturday night, there are hordes of rowdy, obscenely drunk men roaming the streets, or loitering on corners or outside clubs, hurling abuse (and worse)...

Kanye West? It may not be explicitly racist, like **** you, you white mother**** (though a very popular group in the early 90s, NWA, had lines like that in their songs), but he's representative of the whole "white men are evil, keeping us down" mindset. Aside from the fact that blame...
