Did you also notice that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court violated the Constitution in two different ways? Aside from breaking the Establishment Clause, the Constitutional also forbids religious oaths for public office. Obama was free to say "so help me God" under the 1st Amendment, but Roberts had no business prompting him to say it.
Science can show us if/how stem cell therapies can be successful, but it's incapable of showing us whether or not it's a good thing to, for example, kill a viable embryo s.t. a parent of young children might live.
Unused embryos from fertility clinics are ALREADY being killed by the thousands, and have for a long time. An unused embryo is just thrown in the trash.
One thing that really pisses me off is when people who disagree morally with homosexuality are called "homophobes".
Because you are a hateful bigot, that's why. Evangelical hacks oppose homosexuality, yet they don't go around stoning adulterers to death as in the Bible, or people who wear clothes made from different cloths, or for planting different crops side by side, or for working on the Sabbath.
That said, this is a free country and you can go ahead and hate homosexuals to the day you die. Just don't get the funny idea that your religious beliefs should be a deciding factor in someone else's civil rights.
Just because someone does not support gay marriage does not mean that he's a bigot.
Opposing equal civil rights makes you a bigot.
As for constitutional law, it is not as clear cut as you portray it to be. Marriages are governed by the states as was granted by the 10th Amendment because the Constitution did not specifically address marriage laws (or homosexuality)
Personally I think MLK would be disappointed that minority voters only felt compelled to stand up and have their votes counted because the candidate was of a minority race.
Um, what? Blacks have voted for the Democratic candidate by 90% margins for a long time. The problem isn't black voting habits, the problem is that the Republican party is now based on a backlash to two things: the Civil Rights Act, and elitist opposition to the New Deal.
Aside from the fact that it's paid for with private donations, dumbfuck, millions of people didn't show up because the inauguration was a big event. It was a big event because millions of people wanted to show up. You know, Constitutional rights and all (freedom of assembly).
And even then the $170 figure isn't based on fact, but guestimations. There's also the fact that the cost of this inauguration, with security, is being fallaciously compared to the cost of Bush's inaguration, without security.
The hemmoraging will stop when people start forgetting that they've been told (by someone else, usually the media) that the economy is "bad" and go back to buying and selling things at higher levels than they are right now.
Only if they forget that they don't have any damned money. Wages have been stagnant for decades, and the economy is propped up on credit. The problem isn't a mindset, it's that the middle class is broke.
Read the link, bitch. The only way to prove he lied is to have literally read his mind.
Then pray tell why was Clinton disbarred?
Because after Whitewater didn't turn out, Vince Foster didn't turn out, and their bogus witch hunt didn't turn out, Republicans had to settle for something. Real justice would have been throwing Starr and the Republicans in Congress in jail for malicious prosecution.
So try your revisionist history somewhere else please.
That is the history. Clinton didn't lie, deal with it. In fact, if he had said he had "sexual relations" with Monica, that would have been a lie under the courts definition, as he didn't put his cock in her. Deal with it.
Finally, just to prove how full of shit Republicans were and continue to be on this issue, just look at Scooter Libby's perjury conviction next to Clinton's perjury acquittal. You had the exact same cocksucking Republicans who argued for Clinton's removal from office arguing for a pardon for Scooter Libby. Hell, Fred Thompson - who voted to convict Clinton in the Senate - gave a hilarious speech where he passionately called for the rule of law and passionately called for a pardon for Libby.
Seriously, Republican party membership should come with free visits to a proctologist, so you poor bastards can get some help pulling your heads out of your asses.
Millions of people aren't showing up because it's a big event, it's a big event because millions of people are showing up. Freedom of Assembly, and all.
Regardless of your political leanings? They say in their 'About Us' page that they're only interested in misinformation that forwards the conservative agenda. That's a shame. Why not correct misinformation from all sides?
Amazing how this argument only applies to the "left" (MM & the ACLU) but never the right (Media Research Center & the NRA).
Morons. Millions of people aren't showing up because it's a big event, it's a big event because millions of people want to show up. If you want to be a WATB, start complaining at conservatives for running the country into the ground over the last 30 years, making people hungry for something different.
It should also be pointed out that much like the lie about auto workers earning $71 an hour, the comparisons between the cost of Obama's inauguration (WITH the cost of security) and Bush's (WITHOUT security) are completely disingenuous.
You don't follow politics much do you? Clinton got impeached for perjury, not for diddling the unattractive intern.
Wrong. He was impeached because after the Republican Congress couldn't nail him for fraud (Whitewater) or murder (Vince Foster), or a parking ticket, they settled on a manufactured perjury charge.
Or Scooter Libby? Or Karl Rove? You know, the other guys who were leaking Plame's identity left and right, but Bush's cocksucking fanboys would have you believe it was only Armitage.
In 1996, Obama said that he "supported banning the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns"
He didn't say any such thing. You are referring to a questionnaire that a staffer filled out erroneously. You could try and argue that's a lie from the Obama camp, but then why should Ron Paul get a free pass on his racist newsletters that the good doctor has disavowed as someone else's work?
The NRA is a hack organization. Gun nuts ran saying how they couldn't vote for Gore or Kerry because they supported gun control, completely ignoring the fact that Bush said he supported existing gun control laws and would re-sign the assault weapons ban. Or how Rudy Guiliani, who backed gun control more than any other candidate this cycle, spoke in front of the NRA and wasn't booed out of town.
Sure, the NRA will stick up for your right to own a gun - but actually use the "ammo box" and you're on your own. The NRA doesn't lift a finger to help those who use guns in self defense against runaway law enforcement - see Randy Weaver and Cory Maye.
There is only one side in the wrong here, and it's not 'teh gays'.
Marriage should be replaced by a comprehensive standard (but modifiable) civil contract between two or more consenting adults like any other business contract.
Then go ahead and fucking do it already, and stop using it as a red herring on the issue of gay marriage, and only gay marriage. You're putting the cart before the horse.
Just wondering how anyone could be so nieve. It wasn't just Mormons who voted for it, as blacks voted for it by 70% at the same time as they voted for Obama by 95%.
But it was Republicans who pushed for the proposition in the first place and spend millions of dollars on flooding the airwaves with lying ads implying that homosexual marriage meant teaching homosexuality in school, and other crap like that.
"But oddly, Microsoft HR Chief Mike Murray cited religious beliefs for his decision to contribute $100,000 to 'Yes On 8', surprising coming from the guy who had been charged with diversity and sensitivity training during his ten-year Microsoft stint."
Yes, that's as odd as him cracking Negro jokes from the old south.
...that his religious beliefs should be a basis on what civil rights people should have?
And do Mikes religious beliefs include stoning to death adulterers, people who eat pork, plant two different crops side by side, wear clothes made from different cloths, or people who work on Sunday?
If Mike believes in 'traditional marriage' according to the Bible, how many wives does he have? How bout that sex-with-servants exception?

Why don't you move your troglodyte ass out to Kiribati for the next 20 years and get back to us on that one.

Why don't you give that a try and get back to us.

Ooo, big talk from the wingnuts who can't let FDR go. Or the CRA. Or Clinton.
Fuck off, posers.

Maybe Gandalf just didn't know what The One Ring does when worn?
Not likely, since Gandalf, Sauruman and the other wizards were sent to Middle Earth for the explicit purpose of opposing Sauron.
Oh, yeah b/c he lied under oath.
Read the link, bitch. The only way to prove he lied is to have literally read his mind.

I agree not much difference, but the left complained loudly about spending too much on Bush inauguration.
Not really, it was too busy complaining about the fact that Bush stole the election.
Regardless of your political leanings? They say in their 'About Us' page that they're only interested in misinformation that forwards the conservative agenda. That's a shame. Why not correct misinformation from all sides?
Amazing how this argument only applies to the "left" (MM & the ACLU) but never the right (Media Research Center & the NRA).
That's why this link is teh awesome.
Bush hasn't been found guilty either.
But we know he's guilty. The law says X (warrantless wiretapping) and Y (torture) are crimes, and Bush has admitted to X and Y.
I'm not sure what of, but there has to be something on the statute books, right?
Yup, and it's possible that under a treaty signed by Reagan, we're even legally obligated to prosecute torturers.
Morons. Millions of people aren't showing up because it's a big event, it's a big event because millions of people want to show up.

And Clinton didn't even lie, much less commit perjury.
You mean Richard Armitage?

Yes, going into a store and stealing a copy would be bad. Good thing that downloading the game only violates the copyright, then.
