Some parts are thin, ie the PC, love and tolerant part.

The part that covers the reasoned logical thinking is incredibly thick

7 Bacchus's daddy  Wed, May 28, 2008 6:00:09pm

Did Dennis say that on Bill, or on his radio show?

I noticed that on the same show, O'Reilly made a distinction between liberal blogs who cheered Tony Snow's cancer/Cheney's heart problems and the blogs who treated Kennedy's health with respect.

It's good to know that some people were paying attention to that

48 mikeinmd  Wed, May 28, 2008 6:12:28pm

I read over the first half of that quote too fast.

Thought the second part was about his voting record, until I reread it.

Miller used to (and maybe still does) have those oh so obscure references in his jokes.
It was funny just to see himself laughing when everyone else was saying WTF was that about ?

Or is it me....OK.

Yeah, I wonder how many things will be deemed "off-limits" by the end of the campaign.

Any disagreement will represent a horrible (and probably racist) ad hominem attack that should never be uttered in polite company.

For those unaware, Dennis Miller now does a nationally syndicated radio show. When he has some of his SNL alum such as Dana Carvey and Norm McDonald on, it's some of the funniest shit ever.

I learned a terrific tactic for dealing with irrational Liberal-types from Carvey during one of his appearances of Dennis' radio show: "Out-Left the Lefty." The premise is simple -- when you encounter an over-the-top leftist who assaults you with all manner of moonbattery, instead of attempting to reason a counter-argument in response (which, as most of us know, is futile) you simply try to out-left the opponent. For example, if the leftist starts railing about how much better the country will be when Bush is out of office (because of his horrible, inane, reprehensible, etc. policies), you respond with something like, "Out of office? You don't really expect him to give up his power, do you? That fascist will declare martial law in order to maintain control of this country!" and the like. Then keep elevating the leftitude to levels until the opponent finds you whacky. When you reach that point, the conversation is over.

The (fun) trick is, the more whacked-out left position from which the protagonist starts, the more challenging the goal of out-lefting him/her.

I figure to try this on my father-in-law's uber-leftie woman friend the next time we go visit, just to see how radical I have to get before even they get freaked out.

When I heard Carvey describe it on Miller's show it was absolutely hilarious.

156 jcm  Wed, May 28, 2008 6:43:13pm

re: #144 goddessoftheclassroom

Division of the human family into two distinct groups began some 12,000 years ago. Humans existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer or to bring the beer to man. These were the foundations of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:

1. Liberals; and
2. Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.


Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girliemen.

Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.

Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.

Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, Marines, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

Thank you (I always appreciate it when my Mom posts). You'll be receiving a check in the mail shortly. Personally, I'm jealous I didn't think of "Poop Shoot" first -- that one had me rolling. (So cheers to P.S. if he/she shows up tonight.)

Must be a story behind that!

Actually, (apropos the thread subject, coincidentally), it's a variation on a comment I heard from Dennis Miller, in which he used the term "shithammer" in reference to undermining someone's expectations or beliefs, as in, "I hate to shithammer your dreams, but . . ." Sort of like, "I hate to drop an albatross on your poopdeck, but . . ."

So I just ran with it from there.

Evergreen state students stage sit-in in so-called fight for free speech

Members of the Students for a Democratic Society say Evergreen has changed ever since the campus riot in February. They claim free speech has been squashed, concerts banned and student records turned over to police.

When the SDS asked to stage a protest in March, the collage asked members to cancel it.

"They said that it was because of safety, but almost all the other events went through. This one had a lot less potential for being unsafe than the ones that did go through," said a student who identified herself as "Courtney."

SDS staged the event anyway, and it's been suspended from using campus facilities ever since.



SDS ring any bells?

Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) is a United States student organization. It takes its name and inspiration from the original SDS of the 1960s, the largest radical student organization in US history, but the "reformed" SDS is a completely new youth- and student-led organization with over 110 chapters world wide.


Reformed? Sounds like the same ole' same ole' SDS, riots, trashing cop cars, assaulting officers.

/Wine is mentioned in the Bible, but I don't think beer is, and daiquiris definitely aren't.

Wine is mentioned a lot. Beer is used as the word to translate some references to liquor in the old testament but beer as we know was invented much later. Some have said it refers to distilled spirits or a beer like drink. Forgot the particular passage and my concordance is packed up somewhere.

it was so self centered for this imbecile to just turn in complaints as a thesis abt. her good fortune and kind treatment from those in the academic community.
she has learned nothing since then. in fact she is worse after her rev wright indoctrination. imagine her in the white house.

What's the point of beer without the hops? Does it even count?

Anecdote time...

when I was a teenager, my hair was pretty long. I read an article that said that rinsing hair with beer made it (the hair, not the beer) shiny, so I want down to the basement fridge and helped myself to a can of my dad's stock.

I forget what brand it was, but he was most distressed because it was one of the more expensive one. He bough me a six-pack of Bud to use on my hair.

BTW: a beer rinse does work because it dissolves any shampoo and conditioner buildup. Just be sure to rinse the beer out with water.

Historic ME-109 has a bad landing at airshow.

This is actually a common problem with the ME-109 it's landing mounting point is set close to the fuselage to save weight and bulk in the wings. The gear is very narrow and prone to that type of incident. You can see a wind gust lift the starboard wing and the narrow track of the gear can't prevent the port wing from digging in.

Yep -- now can you remember who played the villain -- he was one of those actors with a blonde page-boy cut -- there were dozens of them around at that time, but I'm totally blanking on his name. Seeing him as a bad guy, much less as a drag queen, was wildly out of character.

I don't dislike Obama because of his color. I dislike him because he's another naive Leftist idiot like Jimmy Carter, another fool who has learned none of the fundamental lessons of history and who wants to sit down with those around the world who want to see America destroyed and try to sing "Kumbaya" with them while they figure out new ways to kill Americans. I dislike him because if he is elected then we will cut and run from another war, which will cause another bloodbath like the last time we cut and ran did, because if he is elected the government will take even more of my income away, and because if he is elected my family will be far less safe than they are now.

Plus whenever I think of him these days I end up thinking of him not as Barrack Obama, but as Bimmy Obarter.

From a recent post on Dr. Hurd.com, a related thought:

People who can't be criticized--and who react with great hostility at any hint of criticism--are revealing something important about themselves. They reveal that they don't hold their convictions and viewpoints about various matters through carefully reasoned out, fact-based judgments. Instead, they form conclusions based on emotions. Naturally they feel threatened when one of these irrationally based conclusions is questioned by a thinking mind. In a sense, they expect you to respond to their emotions as they already do: By treating them as equivalent to truth.

What's the point of beer without the hops? Does it even count?

Anecdote time...

when I was a teenager, my hair was pretty long. I read an article that said that rinsing hair with beer made it (the hair, not the beer) shiny, so I want down to the basement fridge and helped myself to a can of my dad's stock.

I forget what brand it was, but he was most distressed because it was one of the more expensive one. He bough me a six-pack of Bud to use on my hair.

BTW: a beer rinse does work because it dissolves any shampoo and conditioner buildup. Just be sure to rinse the beer out with water.

GOTC- There was a hair shampoo when I was in high school called "Body On Tap" that was made with beer. I drank a 6 pack every friday night since they didn't card me to buy it. J/K!

I saw the purported poll, but I am skeptical. Let's see what happens when/if a constitutional amendment should come onto the ballot in November and/if a recall campaign--a la Rose Bird, Cruz Reynozo, 1988--should be lodged against the four who narrowly pushed this decision against three who understand what the constitution means. ...

...Yes, homosexual "marriage" is for the present time legal in California, despite the clearly expressed will of the majority of its voting citizens, because of the pronouncement of ONE person in in a black robe!

Now if someone could just get Nabisco and Kellogg to sit down and agree to market a sandwich cookie with Oreo's cookies and Hydrox's creme filling.

Admittedly, it wouldn't rank up there with 'peace in our time', but on the other hand this might just be a negotiation that BHO might be able to pull off.

I feel a bit like Forrest Gump tonight. I have met and talked with Kevin McHale several times as he used to come into the grocery store I worked at. I was surprised how normal he was, and also how tall he was.

IIRC Dylan was an unobservant Jew who achieved tremendous fame and then after being born again Christian for a few years he returned to his Jewish roots.
But to me none of that matters a whit next to his poetic and musical genius.

I have read that about him...how he was being lauded as a prophet, and how he rejected that. Smart and humble. What a guy! He is to be admired as much for that insight as for his musical talents, I think. It's a rare thing.

Off-topic, but very funny.

I live in a very, very conservative county in Ohio. Mass opposition to Public School funding increases, Bush signs all over the place in '04, even my Democrat grandparents are bitter conservatives.

This carries over to the (public, unfortunately. I'm mostly self-taught) school I attend, with most people being conservative. Except, more then half of the "clique" I seem grouped into by default. I'm a nerd, and I have two nerdy friends who are very conservative, one who is semi-conservative, and one who is conservative by default due to his religious beliefs.

The rest of the "nerds" are raving moonbats.

One day last week, before school let out, I was finishing my AP English exam during lunch, and at a nearby table a bunch of farm-boys were talking about how stupid another one of the nerds was because of their anti-war views. These guys ignored me, however, because I'm a very outspoken conservative (I went off on a Czech exchange student for suggesting that 9/11 was an inside job, and got back-up from many of the same farmboys) and knew much more about politics then they did.

Said nerd got really pissed, and started bitching to me of all people, about how they were "dumb-ass, freedom-hating fascists" because they supported an "illegal war" (I still don't understand how its illegal if Congress approved it). One of the other conservative nerds looked up and made a face, and I just put my pencil down.

"Then let this 'freedom-hating fascist' be the first to tell you to p*** right the f*** off."

He was promptly met with mocking laughter from both tables.

God, I love living in conservative country! ^_^

...when you start to think about death, you start to think about what’s after it. And then you start hoping there is a God. For me, it’s a frightening thought to go nowhere. I also can’t believe that people like Stalin and Hitler are gonna go to the same place as Mother Teresa.

433 ContraJihadi  Wed, May 28, 2008 9:18:25pm

re: #424 ploome hineni

I had some thought regarding same sex marriage

in most traditions, marriage is a contract

In the Christian tradition, marriage is a sacrement

the gays want the sacrement, not satisfied with the contract which
h any two people can have

In pre-Christian Rome, there was the element of contract to marriage; some marriages were contracted only for a specific period of time. But even under this contractual regime, the basic ethical understanding endured that marriage had no meaning at all except as a bond between a single man and a single woman.

Some other cultures supported polygamy; others polyandry. But the assertion that there could be marriage between members of the same biological sex has never made any sense at all at any time and has never been accepted by any culture. Some cultures, like Athens in the fifth century B.C. recognized certain kinds of (male) homosexual relationships. Citizens recognized the educational benefit of a bond between an older man and a youth, especially in the military; but as Aristotle observed, these bonds were to be temporary and never to interfere with the bond between husband and wife that would guarantee the continuance of the city-state.

There has been in modern times an exaggerated interpretation of the liberal notion of contract to apply to marriage; but while this has indeed influenced jurisprudence in the United States, it has never stood unchallenged from the sacramental understanding in this, a nation whose fundamental ethos has derived from the Judaeo-Christian ethic. Even if our nation's ethics had derived from some other tradition, none could have been found to support the notion that the bond of marriage can be detached from the biological reality of the species, that in nature the generations are perpetuated solely as a result of the sexual intercourse between man and woman. (Leaving aside, of course, asexual reproduction, which has no relevance to mammals.)

No contractual understanding of marriage can supplant its natural foundation. The sacramental nature does not exist apart from this natural foundation; it sublates what is merely unconsciously natural into a conscious, cultural observance. To this extent the sacrament is natural. What is completely bizarre and contra natura is the notion that there can be marriage between two menbers of the same sex. These can surely enter into a civil bond, a legally sanctioned contract, but nothing more--at least not if the notion of civilization should retain any natural meaning at all.
