It's not exactly the same, but pretty close http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategythat is interesting, but i dont think that the tea party is some new form of the Southern Strategy.
Fame going downhill? Go apeshit and tell the media about it! So it has been, so it shall be.
Suicide is a sin.
Says who, the catholics? We have already established they arent christians.
That was my follow-up question. the current needs to go somewhere, and you're not a very good ground, so it circulates from one prong to the next.
Catholics aren't christians....we've gone over this.
You never explained why you think they aren't Christians.
Because they are catholics.
Christians do not believe that you have to confess your sins to a priest. That is just one of many differences.

An officer was holding Brooks? arm behind Brooks? back while she was being shocked.
And why would the people revolt if they were happy?
like it or not hate speech is still protected free speech. I know it is offensive and I am discusted by it too, however we can't go around bitching and crying every time somebody hurts our feelings. It's a cruel world, people are cruel.
A crime against hate speech is essentially a thought crime. If we were to ban it outright, then how could such things ever be properly discussed and exposed for the total crap that they are.
Incidentally, I was held up for over an hour getting to work on Tuesday because the WBC was protesting infront of a high school. The police decided to shut down the road in front of the school, which is a main artery during rush hour.
I agree with you on the free speech/hate speech stuff... but I was wondering what you think about the police having to shut down a road during rush hour. Do people have the right to cause such inconvenience?
Well the WBC were not blocking the road, the police decided to close it down in case somebody was driving by and got butt hurt about the God Hates Gays signs and hit a protester with their car. The WBC actually got a legal permit to protest at that place and time, so from a legal standpoint there really is nothing I can fault them on. Personally I think they are douchebags, but they are not stupid, they have definately planned these out very well in a way so as to get the maximum amount of attention without breaking the law.
My advice, stop sueing them, when they come on the TV, turn it off. Maybe when the networks figure out whenever they run a story showing these assholes their ratings plummet they will stop covering them.

The danger of Tasers is highly exaggerated by the media. You only hear about the cases where something goes wrong, not when the use of a Taser stops the cops from having to wrestle an enormous man into submission (running the risk that he might try to grab one of their guns).
soupnazi, do you think corporations should be allowed to donate to political campaigns?sure, but are corporations forcing their employees to pay dues and then using that money to donate? or are they using money that was earned in other ways to donate?
