And they counted any ballots that had a small dent next to Gore for Gore, and they counted any overvoted ballots that happened to have a vote for Gore, and they... STFU.
Whose fault was that? Who chooses when the polls are open? Who chooses the polling places? And am I supposed to believe that not only do all "working people" vote Democrat, they all voted Kerry?
The ACLU actually sued a school for allowing a student to offer a prayer before a football game. They also opposed a student who gave an "altar call" at a graduation. While I feel that the latter was a poor choice for the student, they were not acting as agents of the government (the school) and thus the ACLU was on exactly the WRONG side and OPPOSED religious expression.
I don't doubt that it was pretty comfortable compared to your average framed house, but while stone has huge thermal mass it has a very low R value. It takes all day to warm up my house with its 2' thick walls, but eventually the heat makes it through and radiates to the inside. I have foil-faced foam board on the inside to impede this. Over this is sheetrock or plaster. I like to actually hang things on my walls.:-)
Back up a second. Exterior walls, at a minimum, look like this: siding (or facing), sheathing, insulation inside framing, vapor barrier, sheet rock. Sheet rock couldn't possibly actually be on the outside, as it is made of PAPER. There is sheet rock made of hydrophobic material that is used in bathrooms now, but I still don't think that's what you meant.
So if someone's sitting on your front step and refuses to leave, you can't ask a cop to remove him? What do you do, sue him and wait a few months until the court date to see if you get to start charging him rent?
What Civil Rights Amendment? Do you mean the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which was made possible by a Republican president, created by Republicans, opposed by a Democratic president, and passed by a Republican majority in Congress before being ratified by mostly Republican-controlled states? Or do you mean the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which was passed by most Republicans and filibustered against by a group of 7 Democrats and... well snap! one southern Republican. Damn, I guess you're right! We should focus all our ire on eradicating one single party that you perceive is racist. Then we can be on a one-part system and get the "democracy" we really need!
Civil Rights legislation and investigations - some of cases going back 60 years or more - go on because the police were all in the same political party,
The Democratic party.
were all members of the KKK, and were all complicit in that sort of behavior in the South.

I think, "high expectations." There's a big difference between striving to maintain a reputation and simply being an egotist.
This is why we have to strengthen the republic, not bring "more democracy" as many special interests demand.
You got me. In a real business, if you treat your employees like China treats its citizens, your best ones leave and you fail. But they can't leave.

I was going to say "you must be new here", but your ID is one digit smaller than mine.
I guess Clinton didn't in his second term, because he'd already raised taxes for everyone in his first.
Government worker, huh?

The UK has nuclear capability, and yet this President enjoys disrespecting them.
I am truly sorry that you are so ignorant about the US banking laws, yet feel entitled to comment on them.

I think "Tru TV" contributes far more to the dumbing-down of America than a superficial decision by a school board.

Oh, don't get your panties in a bunch, Joshua. Why don't you have a nice laudanum, and lie down for a while? There, I broke the stereotype!
When you find yourself in a hole, first you must stop digging. BTW... I'm married.
Haumea is my favorite. That thing just looks FREAKY.
So the current satellite scorecard looks like this:
Smallest planets: Mars, 2; Mercury, 0
Biggest "dwarf" planets: Pluto, 4; Ceres: 0

How do you avoid being guilty of that? Walk alone? Walk faster?

Or, maybe you're a fool who substitutes partisan rhetoric for actual facts and insights.
The Democratic party.
Please stop playing the race card.
