Constitution Party - Too much Bible thumping. "Return... our law to it's Biblical foundation". Not only no, but hell no. It's the Taliban all over again.
You are too funny. Here are some quotes from the Constitutionalist Party platform.
The government should have no say in the decision to have or not have an abortion.
The CP opposes the use of search warrants to examine or seize materials belonging to third parties unless specifically specified on the warrant. The CP also opposes no-knock raids and the search of vehicles and passengers without probable cause.
The CP opposes legislation seeking to make it illegal to burn the American flag, as this is a form of political speech.
The CP does not find that obscenity (including pornography) that is made with the consent of those involved with its production violates the First Amendment in any way...
The Constitutionalist Party supports the right of individuals to participate in any religion they wish, or none at all, and to be free from legislation that supports the views of one religion over the others. This requires a separation of church and state, and any legislation that is proposed with the rationale that it is a proper law because a certain religion says so must be rejected in the defense of the other religions. America has never had a national religion, and thus should not pass any legislation that favors the tenets of any one religion as well. The government should also not aid any religion, nor attack any religion for their beliefs or peaceful activities.
And, of course, guitarists can bend the strings to go sharp, and/or use a "whammy bar" to go flat... there are other techniques as well, pressing on the strings behind the nut or the bridge, manipulating the tuning keys, etc.
Not really. Blues musicians often linger on, or sometimes directly hit tones between the notes of the twelve-tone scale, most often between the fourth and the flat fifth, and sometimes between the minor third and the major third.
If I pointed a gun to your head, took 10K, invested it, made 20K, and then gave it back to all your friends and took the credit for it - then technically speaking the group would better off financially...
Hmmm... that sounds just like taxation (except for the profitable investment part). You must be an ultraconservative?
The south is full of black people, and mostly we get along fine. Black people had a saying in the 60's, "Northerners love the black race, but can't stand black people. Southerners hate the black race, but get along with black people just fine."
Texas also has a lot of openly gay people. Haven't you ever heard the expression "steers and queers"?;-) There is truth in it.
Sounds like it's time for some of these overpaid programmers to look for a new trade. Plumbers are always in demand and make decent money. And from what I've seen at conventions and LUG meetings, most of them won't even have to buy new pants...
Sorry, but it ain't that easy. You could probably write a doctoral thesis on FVWM configuration. I still love it, though.

Well, I guess it's because Native Americans get lots of extra Federal assistance and tax breaks, so if they go "mainstream" the government saves some money:-)
I never said the government is not racist. The U.S. government has a long history of racism. Indian wars, legal slavery, gun control laws, drug laws, Jim Crow apartheid, affirmative action, etc.
At Waco and Ruby Ridge, the people involved were dealing with armed individuals who were committing crimes. Failure to Appear and failure to purchase $200 tax stamps for automatic weapons hardly count as capitol offenses. There were no hostages at Waco. BTW, the BATF goons that slaughtered the Branch Davidians are the same type of aggressive assholes as the "college Republicans" pushing people around on your campus, but apparently, in your mind, calling leftist dissidents unpatriotic is oppression, but slaughtering right-wing dissidents is OK.
I'm sorry about your bad experiences. Amped-up jocks and frat boys pushing people around is hardly typical of Republican behavior, just like ANSWER "security" thugs shoving a pregnant pro-war counter-protestor around is not typical liberal behavior.
FWIW, I don't think you're unpatriotic to oppose the war. I think you should try to research both sides of the Waco and Ruby Ridge incidents, though, because a true American patriot (they are rare these days) does NOT trust the State. The whole point of the Constitution is to put the power in the hands of the people and limit the State. That's why I'm not a Republican even though I usually vote for them because I am fiscally conservative and believe in proactive national defense. The Republican party is no longer the party of small government, and too many of them are interested in legislating morality. You're right about the current administration being essentially the same, I don't know if Ashcroft would have handled Waco any differently.

"Overrated". LOL. What a chickenshit moderation. Go ahead, you terrorist-felching, lackwitted goons, I've got karma to burn.

Well, if he is going to use the term (I don't think he was referring to inhabitants of the Caucasus region, do you?) then he should get it right.
I figure, if he is going to start flinging the word "stupid" around, he'd better cross his T's and dot his I's or risk having the label applied to him.

I haven't called anyone unpatriotic for not supporting the war. In fact, I haven't heard anyone called unpatriotic for not supporting the war. I don't think Howard Dean is unpatriotic, or Tim Robbins, I just don't agree with them.
However, loons marching in the streets at "International ANSWER" (aka Commie) rallies, burning effigies of the Bush cabinet, and carrying signs that say "We support our troops, when they frag their commanding officers", are most definitely unpatriotic IMHO, and deserve a few good punches to the nose.
And the comparison of the Bush administration to Nazis after what the Clinton administration did at Waco and Ruby Ridge is just pure stupidity... I can't find any other words to characterize that kind of thinking.

I was just using the standard used for federal statistics and administrative reporting.
American Indian or Alaska Native. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North America, and who maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition.
Asian or Pacific Islander. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands. This area includes, for example, China, India, Japan, Korea, the Philippine Islands, and Samoa.
Black[Non-Hispanic]. A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa.
Hispanic. A person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.
White/Caucasian[Non-Hispanic]. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East.
I agree that the term is inaccurate and should only be applied to inhabitants of the Caucasus region, which is why I was pointing out that the term was inapropriately used in the original post.
You're right. If I spoke out loud about my belief in President Bush's foreign policy, the right of Israel to self-defense, and the right of free people to bear arms, on almost any University campus in America I would be promptly lynched.

Yep, sounds just like the Taliban.
Yeah, Harvard always gives out MBAs to idiots.
Pot. Kettle. Black.
The entire rest of the world is gravely concerned about an out of control, dangerous, American President.
Yes. After Iraq, France and Canada are next.
You liberal weenies are stupendously amusing.

Trumpet, saxophone, and guitar can all play quarter tones quite easily.
You don't actually play music, do you?
Oh yeah, and between the major and minor sevenths. Thanks, Professor. ;-)

Yeah, labelling isn't a human trait... it's an American thing.
How's this for a label. You are annoying.
