Charles you're smearing Kerry again. Facts have no place in politics.

If ONLY I could vote in American elections...sigh..

Hopefully, Best of the Web, NRO, Hugh Hewitt and talk radio will pick this up.

Excellent find.

I feel privileged to be able to feel nauseated about their lunatic and moonbat coddling funding first thing in the morning.

I am sure this will get widespread pick up and it's going to be really funny to hear their reactions.

Was there ever any play about John Kerry's grandfather being Jewish? In the Canadian Jewish News they had a thing about a Boston Globe expose where they said his grandfather was an Austrian Jew who changed his name, blah blah...Kerry was "shocked" by the info, just like Madeline Albright *snort*.

Anyway, nice to see that the grandson of a Jewish immigrant is giving to CAIR.

A little OT: Blatant media bias here. Check out the second headline: Republicans blast Spain's new government.

I know they want to blame the bombings on Buhs, but... crikey!

Some Threadjack Goodness: Fark is carrying an item about how Euro newspapers Photoshopped out a severed limb in a train bombing picture to make it less shocking. How 'bout that? AQ spin control, courtesy of the Euro media...

It will be interesting to see who picks up with this after Hanson and runs with it. I want to see this on major media like teevee.
I think Kerry can set a new speed record of how many times he can flip flop in one sentence.

Speaking of Pipes, he gave a speech at a university that was (mildly) disrupted. The leader of the disruption was the head of the local ACLU chapter. i.e. the organization which is supposed to be a watchdog for free speech.

I will grant that the disruption didn't prevent Pipes from speaking, although from the description it sounds annoying. So technically this guy wasn't violating the principles of his organization.

But if I had been considering re-joining the ACLU, whose work I totally support in principle - not now.

Don't you just gotta love the way Groundspring.org, one member of the Tides family, describes MoveOn.org:

"Providing a forum for ordinary people to oppose the war with Iraq."

Ah yes, those "ordinary" people. Common. Folks. The guy who changes your oil at Jiffy Lube. The waitress at the diner. The doorman at your East 77th Street condo. Those. The masses. We simply must help them understand.

Be wary when certain elites, the "lovers of humankind "(Paul Johnson) talk that way.

Our pal, Mexico

Not since America’s mid-century experience with communism has there been such an organized effort at subverting our country’s political institutions. As reported in the Washington Times, local and statewide illegal immigrant advocacy groups and Hispanic groups, whose memberships include illegal immigrants as well as Mexicans who have become legal immigrants or citizens, coordinate with the Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior to agitate for access to public services for illegal aliens in the United States.

Perusing through their 2002 Form 990 is enlightening. Not only did they give money to CAIR (to be fair it was only $5,000), they gave money to ACT UP and other wacko special interest groups. Nice to know that the democratic nominee for president supports crazed nihilists.

RIP Ford #1

Yesterday on the talk radio station in Pittsburgh, two talk show hosts were having a discussion. The early morning host is conservative, the late morning host is liberal. At one point the liberal host said to the conservative: "Don't give me facts and logic, I'm not going to let you get away with that trick."

About two days ago at LGF zulubaby posted the orginal photo and 3 expurgated photos. Sorry I don't know which thread, maybe somebody else does.

And what do these disparate groups have in common? Hatred of the American people. When Kerry says he loves America, you can be sure he is merely referencing the geography.

Not to get all Black Helicopters/Vince Foster Suicide Conspiracy Theory Here.

But why would an Arch-VillainessLiberal like Contessa Teresa have married a conservative like Senator Heinz? And what exactly did happen to his airplane?

#12 Montaigne's Cat

LOL

She met John Kerry in 1990, after being introduced by her first husband, ketchup magnate and Senator John Heinz. This was the only known time that Teresa and John Kerry met while she was married to Heinz. After John Heinz died in a airplane accident in 1991, the then-Teresa Heinz inherited his vast fortune. She and John Kerry ran into each other again at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1992 at a United Nations sponsored environmental summit. They were married in 1995.

Heinz and six other people were killed when a Bell 412 SP helicopter collided with the Senator's Piper Aerostar plane over a schoolyard in Merion, Pennsylvania. All aboard the two aircraft and two children playing outside the school were killed. The helicopter had been dispatched to check out a problem Heinz's plane was having with its landing gear. While moving in for a closer look, the helicopter's rotor blades struck the bottom of the plane, causing both aircraft to lose control and crash. He was interred in the Heinz family mausoleum in Homewood Cemetery, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Sounds like an accident, but never underestimate the power of the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy.

I'm glad that people of the gravitas of Daniel Pipes are now bringing this up and airing it where it can be discussed in mainstream forums. I'd just like to remind everyone that this connection and scandal first saw the light of day on LGF several weeks ago. Another newsmaker for LGFers!

The Kerry family is taking "Spring Break" in Sun Valley. The weather is springlike and the slopes are either ice in the mornings or slush in the afternoons. Not very safe ski conditions, but he may he may try to bullshit his way down the mountain anyway. Heres hoping.

#15

I've been wondering myself why a dyed in the wool lefty like Mrs Heinz would have been married to a republican. Was Senator Heinz particularly liberal in his voting record?

Was she just after political power from whatever side of the aisle she could get it.

As a conservative, I would have a serious problem dating a LLL, let alone marrying one. So, what was she doing with Heinz for all of those years if it wasn't for his money and access to his political power?

If she wasn't always a lefty, what was it that made her political views change?

I'm not looking forward to seeing this woman in the White House.

History was made in Chennai between 9 to 19 January 2004 when the state-of-the-art exhibition on the theme “Peace: Vision of Islam” was held...

Models such as that of a building standing straight and a building falling down drawing parallel between a Strong, true Believer and a weak Believer; a Cradle and Grave giving the message that life is not permanent; Spider’s web explaining the futility of the worship of false gods; and many more – these models made a lasting impression on the minds of the visitors.

Muslim Students’ Association hosts Islam Awareness Week...

“We cannot attach the actions of Islamic people, be that right or wrong, with Islamic culture or religion itself,” said Badawi...

To most Muslim people, Islamic culture does not have to conform to human standards; if it did, it would change the word of the prophet Mohammed, and that in turn would be the ultimate ignorance, said Badawi.

The misuse of the word jihad by the media since Sept. 11, 2001 was one of Badawi’s concerns. He explained that jihad is actually derived from the word jahada, meaning to struggle. Therefore, jihad means the act of struggling.

Muslims in a British city are concerned over advertisements featuring women's bottoms...

'Velvet' toilet paper that urges consumers to 'love your bum', and G-string and bikini bottom billboards have provoked an outcry in Bradford, home to thousands of Muslims originating from Mirpur in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir...

Azam's statement follows damage caused to a billboard close to a Bradford mosque that featured G-strings on four women's bottoms. Anonymous protestors have also slashed another billboard elsewhere in the city that advertises women's underwear.

The campaign against advertisements that offend family values started four years ago when angry Bradford residents slapped paint across a bra advertisement featuring tennis pinup star Anna Kournikova.

This is OT but there was a hate crime hoax at a college in California. A professor who was supposedly the victim turned out to have perpetrated the vandalism herself. Unbelievable.

#20 follow the money

It's not unheard of.
James Carville and Mary Matalin

Ben Johnson at FrontPage on where all that ketchup money goes:

During the years 1995-2001, the Howard Heinz Endowment, which Heinz Kerry chairs, gave Tides more than $4.3 million...

Tides established the Iraq Peace Fund and the Peace Strategies Fund to fund the antiwar movement. These projects fueled such hysterical protest organizations as MoveOn.org, the website that recently featured two separate commercials portraying George W. Bush as Adolf Hitler ... Most disturbing is the link to Ramsey Clark’s International Action Center, which has supported Slobodan Milosevic and North Korean strongman Kim Jong-Il. The IAC is the force behind International ANSWER, which sponsored the major antiwar (and anti-Bush) rallies before the invasion of Iraq. When ANSWER was outed as a Communist organization, United for Peace and Justice, headed by longtime Communist Party member Leslie Cagan was created as a "moderate" alternative. UFPJ is also a Tides grant recipient ...

Besides CAIR, there are all the usual Georgetown-Stalinist organizations on the Tides Foundation gravy train, like the National Lawyers Guild and the William Kunstler "Center for Constitutional Rights".

But then, maybe this has nothing to do with Kerry after all:

She only adopted his last name and political party registration less than 18 months ago. “Politically, it's going to be Heinz Kerry,” she recently said. “But I don't give a sh-t, you know?”

Ouch, I hope that if Kerry wins this mean lady doesn't do the thing where she goes around the country and reads books to school children.

PS to the hate crime hoax. Turns out the victim/perpetrator is a professor of psychology. You can't make this stuff up.

Well when I brought this up to a Kerry supporter, the retort was "Laura Bush killed someone".

''As far as we know, no charges were filed,'' said Midland city attorney Keith Stretcher. ''I don't think it's unusual that charges weren't filed.''

Midland was a small town, at the time. I suspect that the local police felt that jail time was unwarranted. Her punishment would be her having to live with the guilt for the rest of her life.

Learn to read properly, moron.

Laura Bush has openingly talked about this accident. She lives with the repercussions of it every day of her life. The boy who was killed was a friend of hers.
The four way where the accident occured was known for accidents before she was involved. It was not a red light, it was a stop sign. Laura had just gotten her drivers license when this happened. She didn't drive for some time after that. There was no political overtones in the fact no charges were filed, as the intersection had already seen accidents before hers. I don't think her parents had any political weight where she lived

I had posted about that incident last week. I can't believe it was done by one of the professors there.

The colleges were galvanized after a Claremont McKenna professor's car was vandalized and covered in racist, anti-Semitic and sexist epithets on Tuesday night.

The incident occurred while the professor, who was not identified, was speaking at a forum about the need for tolerance and racial harmony at the colleges. When she returned to the parking lot, she found her tires slashed, windows broken and $1,700 worth of property stolen, police said.

Thanks for the update. What a disgrace this woman is! I'm glad in a way that it turned out to be a hoax although I'm sure the police can't be too happy with her.

Miss Defy-

Why can't we all just get along?

Oh dear, it's "unfortunate linkage" time. It's too bad a reputable scholar like Daniel Pipes, who has so much useful insight to give us on the Middle East and Islam, has to stoop to "connect-the-dots" smeary innuendo. And of course Charles links to it. Surprise, surprise!

Here's another potential linkage for you (fictional, but plausible):

Charles plays for Al Jarreau, who bought all his music equipment from Bawdy House Music Co., the owner of whom has given money to the Ford Foundation, which has given money to Islamic Charities Inc., which has given money to CAIR. Therefore we have:

Charles-Al Jarreau-Bawdy House Music-Ford Foundation-Islamic Charities Inc.-CAIR. What an "unfortunate linkage."

The game is called "Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon" or something like that. This is just another version of it.

A version with all 57 varieties of Heinz condiments smeared all over it.

Hey. I thought you already posted that at #1.

Leftwing foundations are financing antisemitism all over the world. The animals who attacked Jews in Durban, South Africa at the UN Racism meeting were paid by the Ford Foundation. Ford has also given tens of millions of dollars to Palestinian groups which carry out attacks against Israeli civilians.

Here is Asst. Prof. Dunn quoted on a Claremont website a few days ago:

Dunn believes that she was targeted because she has been so outspoken in recent weeks regarding the many bias related incidents that have been exposed throughout the Claremont Colleges ... “I would be damned if I let my friends, good people, people of color, and women even, be terrorized by these few characters who don’t have enough of a spine to participate in an open a dialogue with intellect,” Dunn said ... “This issue is now going to be in the consciousness of people who teach here,” she said. “People are getting it, they are coming together, they reject hate, and they want diversity.”

I guess her idea of opening an intellectual dialogue is to spray-paint her own car, causing a university to cancel classes. This is why I never trust anybody who talks about "opening a dialogue" ...

These LLLs are unbelievable.
The fact that the possible first lady of the US finances muslim fanatics and communist organizations...he calls it "smearing innuendo".

If ever, for any reason, I had a doubt about the good faith of these idiots, their posts here would always remind me of the real danger for Freedom that the leftist subversives are.

The link seems somewhat tenuous, but there is no reason not to point it out and let each reader decide its importance for himself. This isn't like the left-wing media, where loyal partisan journalists pedagogically explain to the unwashed "what it all means."

Item #6 under World News: "Poland Misled on Iraq, President Says,"---OOPS, it just disappeared.

Time to "reevaluate?"

New Poland, new thread?

If this foundation operates as a donor advised fund -- one in which various grant applicants look or other foundations or individuals to fund their projects and the funds donated are limited to those purposes -- then this is a tempest in a teapot and simply another attempt at character assasination. So far, the only documented contirbutions from Heinz through a Tides foundation were for specific environamental projects in Pennsylvania. If Heinz is making contributions to support the Foundation's general activities, and those activites include CAIR or Ramsey Clarke's group, then there are grounds for complaint. But meanwhile, it's smear first and ask questions later.

Gordo -

That twisted example is a new low for even you.

"Don't give me facts and logic, I'm not going to let you get away with that trick."

That certainly applies to you. Particularly since all Charles does (yet again) is post info from someone else without personal commentary. Why not refute the facts in the piece as opposed to cry SMEAR?

Speaking of unfortunate linkages... a cymbal, poorly played becomes annoying,

Miss Defy:

Stick to your guns. I understood your post and the spirit in which it was meant. Your friend didn't bother to look at the implications for the goverment of the subject you raised and used that comeback to fob you off. Even if true (and it seems it is) what Laura did at 17 is not likely to damage her government today while maintaining close ties with CAIR, who's raison d'etre is to undermine the US government or any kufhr government at any cost while cloaking itself in the mantle of promoting Arab-US relations.

Don't tell me you don't know how to play connect-the-dots - hell, you guys invented it, any Democrat worth his salt can get from George Bush to Enron in two or three moves.

However, this is not connect-the-dots. She doesn't have connections to the Tides Foundation, she sits on the board of a foundation that gives them money.

Your argument (for want of a better word) is like saying that it is smeary innuendo to suggest that The Committee to Elect Howard Dean has connections to Howard Dean.

OT - Frontpage Magazine has an interview with VDH - Spain's Surrender

VDH gets right to the point with analysis of the Madrid attack and the pronouncements of the PM elect -

Well, even before the terrorists' communiques were fully disseminated the Spanish electorate voted for appeasement and a socialist government that would distance itself from the United States. This is the most profound example of capitulation since Daladier and Chamberlain and sets a truly awful example: will British, Polish, Italian, and American elections now be presaged by mass murder on the assumption that decadent, affluent Westerners can be intimidated in fear of attacks?

Worse, this was not panic from a fickle leader but an overwhelming expression of public fear and intimidation. I am afraid it confirms what most of us have thought for some time about the Europeans: they want our bases and troops, but only in the shadows and with avenues of distance and denial, as a last guarantee only of their safety in extremis. I wish the Spanish had voted to expel our soldiers as well--but perhaps that will be in the next terrorist demand. And note that the Greeks, who slurred NATO in the Balkans, did nothing for it in Aghanistan, and trashed the US over Iraq, find a bomb at a Citibank office and suddenly are talking of NATO help in their Olympic security-even as the hated Americans are offering our commandos for joint practice operations with them against potential terrorist-like incursions.

As for Spain-and I say this with real remorse given their suffering and national catastrophe-not since Theodosius and the late Romans paid their annual bribe money to Attila have we seen such success in bullying and terrifying a Western nation. It is right off the pages of Gibbon in his discussion of how weak, wealthy, and fearful Westerners paid Goths and Huns before Adrianople and Chalons. And this is the beginning not the end of it, as we shall soon see.

All Americans feel terrible about the Spanish mass murder, but how can we express our solidarity when the reaction is to repudiate both us and Spaniards who were allied with us? And contrast the American example: 26 days after 9-11 we were in Afghanistan attacking the Taliban and al Qaeda; the Spaniards n 48 hours were turning out to apologize. A sad day for the West.

Well said. There's more. Read it.

Continuing fallout from the Spanish surrender:

Honduras will pull out its 370 troop contingent this June, along with Spain.

Today, the Polish president criticized the US and said they'll pull out their 2,400 troops before their term of engagement is up.

By MONIKA SCISLOWSKA, Associated Press Writer

WARSAW, Poland - Poland, which has about 2,400 troops in Iraq and was a strong supporter of the U.S.-led invasion, was "misled" about the threat from Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, its president said Thursday.

...

Earlier in the day, Kwasniewski said Poland may start withdrawing its troops from Iraq early next year, months earlier than the previously stated date of mid-2005.

"Naturally, one may protest the reasons for the war action in Iraq. I personally think that today, Iraq without Saddam Hussein is a truly better Iraq than with Saddam Hussein," Kwasniewski told the European reporters.

"But naturally I also feel uncomfortable due to the fact that we were misled with the information on weapons of mass destruction," he said, according to a transcript released by the presidential press office.

Those comments came days after Spain's new government, taking power in the wake of the Madrid bombings with their apparent link to Islamic extremists, said it would pull its troops from Iraq by June 30 unless the United Nations takes over.

...

Poland commands a 9,500-strong multinational force in south-central Iraq that includes the Spaniards.

...

He insisted, however, that Poland was staying the course in Iraq and would not bow to terror.

"We are facing the same threat as Spain," Kwasniewski said, but he stressed that "terrorism must be combatted, also with force."

Gordon the Tedious has changed his battle cry from "RACIST!!" to "SMEAR!!". It's boring already.

Isn't it obvious why Laura Bush wasn't charged?

Even though she hadn't yet met GWB, the former Senator Prescott Bush and his nefarious son George Herbert Walker Bush had already identified the young Laura Welch as the woman who would most help GWB get elected President, and they had to keep her record clean. A few calls to the Midland County DA and the Mayor (Both secret 33rd order Masons) was all it took to drop the case.

It was this same group that "adjusted" the steering on Ted Kennedy's car and slipped a quaalude into his Rob Roy on Martha's Vineyard.

Although Prescott Bush is now dead, the conspiracy continues with Caspar Weinberger, Dick Cheney and Binjamin Netanyahu. Their most recent dirty deed was pouring some liquid "X" into Howard Dean's Diet Pepsi on election night in Iowa.

Another unfortunate connection (there's so MANY of them, aren't there?) is one of the Tides 'Family' of 501(c)3 non-profit tax exempt organizations, ACT-MA, which sponsors and disperses Tides money to their group, OnePalestine.org, the same people who almost attacked Prof. Alan Dershowitz outside Faneuil Hall, Boston on the night of Feb.22/04, calling him "Hitler" and "Goebbels". He had to be rescued from these punks carrying ACT-MA signs and no other identification, by Boston police who bustled him into a car and rode several blocks with him to make sure he wasn't followed. He described the incident recently in an article in Israel Insider and a poster on LGF met the Prof. in California just after the incident which he described as frightening.

All in all there are a NUMBER of connections to Mrs. Heinz-Kerry, all of them unfortunate.

No. The Tides Center for Western Pennslyvania was built using $1.6 million Heinz-bucks. It is not a specific environmental project in Pennslyvania, it's a branch office of the SF Tides Foundation.

French FM supports EU appointment of anti-terrorism supremo

18 March 2004

French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin on Thursday backed a European Union proposal to appoint an anti-terrorism expert who would coordinate EU security measures in the wake of the Madrid attacks.

"I think it's a good idea," de Villepin told Radio France Internationale when asked about the idea of appointing a "Mr Terrorism" for the bloc, who would report to EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana.

"It's very important for us to... try to better coordinate our actions as Europeans -- that we have an official, a coordinator, as Javier Solana has proposed," the French minister added. ...

KERRY UNLOADED ITALIAN MANSION MONTH HE DECIDED WHITE HOUSE RUN; SOLD TO GEORGE CLOONEY AFTER BRAD PITT FINDER

Sen. John Kerry sold his foreign mansion in Italy just weeks before he announced a run for the White House in January of 2003, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Actor George Clooney purchased the stunning 18th century mansion located in the Italian village of Laglio [50 miles north of Milan] from Kerry and his wife for $7,800,000. Clooney first learned about the listing from Brad Pitt, who had been holidaying with his wife Jennifer Aniston at Versace's compound nearby.

While Kerry and his wife's homes in the United States are worth at least $23,733,705, it is not clear if the candidate currently owns property overseas.

The campaign has repeatedly denied requests for any information on foreign assets held by Kerry.

PAKISTAN: AL QAEDA TARGET SURROUNDED

Osama bin Laden's second in command has been surrounded in Pakistan, President Pervez Musharraf has told CNN.

Troops say they have cornered Ayman al-Zawahri in an operation near the Afghan border.

The operation, involving hundreds of troops and paramilitary rangers, has been carried out in the South Waziristan region.

The identity of the man surrounded has not been confirmed.

But President Musharraf said: "(Judging by) the resistance that is being offered by the people there, we feel that there may be a high value target."

Sky News' Foreign Affairs Editor Tim Marshall said: "Most people believe the number two is actually the brains (behind the al Qaeda network)."

And he added: "If it's true it is an enormous strike. It cannot be underestimated."

Yehudit, Glen, here is a picture of Dunn's car. Maybe she just hated her car.

And if no one found out she could collect on the insurance.

I hate seeing a cute Honda Civic like that abused. That's my preferred car when I have one (which I don't right now living in NYC).

Off Topic but important

Well it looks like some local political hacks want to sneak into people's bedrooms and jail them if they don't like what is taking place there. Do we really need people telling us what we can and can not do? I seem to recall that the origional settlers of this country were individuals that wanted to avoid experiancing percecution by the so called "majority opinion of morality."

The actions by these American elected officials are comparable to the Taliban and their desire to impose their religious values on the population.

As most states and many cities in the nation debate questions about same-sex marriage, one Tennessee county is taking things a step further: calling on state lawmakers to amend Tennessee law so that homosexuals can be charged with crimes against nature.

The Rhea County commissioners approved the request 8-0 Tuesday. Commissioner J.C. Fugate, who introduced the measure, also asked the county attorney to find a way to enact an ordinance banning homosexuals from living in the county.

"We need to keep them out of here," Fugate said.

The vote was denounced by Matt Nevels, president of the Chattanooga chapter of Parents, Family and Friends of Lesbians and Gays.

"That is the most farfetched idea put forth by any kind of public official," Nevels said. "I'm outraged."

Rhea County has been in the headlines before in matters of ideology and law.

Dayton, Tennessee, was the site of the so-called "Monkey Trial" in 1925, in which John T. Scopes was convicted of teaching Charles Darwin's theory of evolution - in defiance of state law - a verdict the state's Supreme Court later threw out on a technicality.

Maybe she just wanted to "open up a dialogue" about insurance fraud.

That's what I was thinking. The part that struck me as particularly odd was the $17,000 worth of stolen property. I doubt the car is worth that much so what could have she kept in there that was worth that much?

#118, Kelly. Re: "original settlers" Until the American Revolution, a hell of a lot of "settlers" were 'transported' here by the English as a result of crimes they had committed. Some were given a choice, stay and hang or go to the colonies under indenture. Some chose to travel rather than hang. Our successful revolution led to Australia being the next big land of opportunity for criminals and near do wells. The Scopes Trial was the last big tourist draw in that part of Tennessee and here you want to deny them another chance to get on the map and make some bucks selling T shirts and such.

It will be interesting to see how many "Born Again Federalists" like Barney Frank will be championing states rights when the states want to legislate in a manner counter to their social agenda.

Andrew Sullivan takes the position that allowing gay marriage is something states should be allowed to do, but states that outlaw same sex marriages are engaging in "pogroms." So, he's a federalist when it comes to permitting same-sex marriage, and an anti-federalist when it comes to outlawing same-sex marriage.

Bit of the same way Spain was a "country you could buy on eBay" when it supported the War on Iraq, but is now "a major important ally" now that it is leaving the coalition.

#132 gymnast

Don't you find it interesting that the two largest penal colonies of the former British Empire are the staunchest supporters of freedom?

It almost seems that when they shipped out the crooks, they also shipped out their quota of national testosterone.

Kind of a reverse-Darwinism. I wonder if there is a gene for courage? If so, two centuries of emigration and intermittent Franco-Prussian wars would appear to have thinned the European gene stock. The brave segment of the population either went to the New World, or was chewed up by the machinery of war, leaving behind only the lily-livered pacifists to procreate.

Yep, exactly! I wonder though, if it's genetic or enviromental/cultural??? Probably a combination of both.

About ten years ago I spent a good part of two winters in Lewiston/Auburn Maine. One of the things that really shocked me (actually there were two things that stood out) was the height of the people. They seemed to be really short as compared to folks on the west coast, Montana, etc. The other thing that seemed really unusual was the number of people who seemed mentaly ill. I'm not trying to be a smartass, there just seemed to be a lot of mentaly ill people around.

#135, V the K. One of the defining institutions of any culture is the family and the form which it takes. This whole "gay marriage" bit is not a serious undertaking but a political ploy. Political interest groups come and go and have only trancient effects on underlying cultural institutions. The Chinese Communist Party, for instance, is a blip on the cultural history of the Han Chinese, as were the Mongols. The institution of the family defines marriage within a culture and does so in such a way as to provide a secure existance for each member of the family. American society is a subset of contemporary Western Culture and is accomadative of many things. I see no serious reason for it to be accomodative of gay marriage for it does not protect the interests of the family, the fundimental institutional unit of any culture.

#132 - gymnast

The Scopes Trial was the last big tourist draw in that part of Tennessee and here you want to deny them another chance to get on the map and make some bucks selling T shirts and such.

And that's the literal truth, too - "The Scopes Trial" was masterminded by Dayton civic boosters, to put their town on the map.

Scopes, who volunteered to be charged, was actually totally innocent. He was a gym teacher who had once substituted for a sick biology teacher, but he never so much as uttered the word "evolution" in a classroom.

I think this is another set-up. I'll bet they've got some gays already lined up who are ready to confess to a bunch of bogus "crimes against nature" at a Stalinist show trial, just so Dayton can fill up its motels with reporters.

This whole "gay marriage" bit is not a serious undertaking but a political ploy.

Yes and no. I don't doubt that many of the same-sex couples in Massachusetts, SFO, and PDX are absolutely sincere and committed. I don't doubt that there are many others who just want to make a political statement. (Shock the normals!)

But, since I'm raising two boys as a single parent, it's painfully obvious to me that my inability to model a two-parent heterosexual committed relationship --- the kind of relationship my boys will want to have when they are of age --- is a significant handicap to my parenting. Multiply my situation a few million times, and the societal implications are obvious.

Heterosexual monogamous marriage committed to the nurturing of children is the best model for human relationships and for society as a whole, which is why it uniquely merits societal recognition. There is also plenty of merit to committed monogamous same-sex relationships and even stable polygamist relationships are preferable to promiscuity and unstable single or dual parent models. But they are not the ideal model, and traditional marriage is. They are not what most people aspire to. They do not provide the ideal model for family.

There is no civil right a married person has that a gay person does not. There are legal disparities, which should be addressed legislatively (not by judicial fiat.) But... even though it's not advantageous to me personally... the traditional marriage ideal is the one that should be upheld.

#147, Ronnie

Well, obviously these were just mere observations without and statistcal analyzation. Perhaps, more than anything else, the contrast of cultures from what I'd experienced previously is the most striking. I remember thinking at the time that just a short 130 years prior the Civil War had decimated the populatin of many northern states. Also, in small communities in the British Isles during the 16th and 17th cent. there was a high degree of insanity due to inbreeding...just human nature at work.

"What did these people in Maine do and/or say to convince yoy they were "mentally ill?"

Well... I'm familiar with dealing with mentally ill street people in large cities. The twitching, loud yelling, talking to imaginary 'friends', the lack of personal hygene, the constant fighting, etc. Lewiston/Auburn is a small town (perhaps 65,000 tops---maybe less) and the number of mentally ill (disturbed?) seemed way out of proportion. Also, at the time I had just spent a few years out west (Montana, Washington, etc.) and although in say Billings there is a certain level of mental illness, the concentration of such is small as compared to say Seattle, LA or NYC by all appearances. It's estimated that about one in three homeless person has a mental illness problem, usually untreated. Perhaps in Maine they just all stay home instead of flocking to the "big" city. I don't know...sorry.

Yeah, cabin fever is real, and is experienced in places that have really long and dark winter nights, accompanied by deep snows. But the worst places are those that don't get much sunshine even during the day. Montana and the other states with mostly continental (drier) climates aren't bad because you have sun 270+ days a year. You live somewhere that only sees the sun 90 days a year, and I'll guarantee you'll go batty...it's a type of claustrophobia much worse than cabin fever.

Obviously her car was vandalized by a Democratic Party fund-raising committee.

199 Glen,

If it's backwards, it's not a swastika,

No, the Swastika of hooked cross was around long before the Nazis, and can refer to either the clockwise or counterclockwise version. (see any dictionary of signs and symbols -- my exa is an artist.) But the Nazi Swastika has the Northwest arm pointed up like an L, not not rightward like a 7.

So Laura Bush was involved in an automobile accident when she was seventeen. That was an unfortunate tragedy. But, that was forty years ago when she was a child.

Teresa Heinz is a full-blown adult, making rational choices. If she chooses to support such dispicable organizations as CAIR through her Tides Foundation, the American people have the right to know what kind of woman will have the President's ear at pillowtalk time. Her support of groups that openly advocate the overthrow the United States is more than criminal. It is sedition.

If she doesn't know about the contributions, she is negligent. Either way, I wouldn't want her or her long-faced "do you know who I am" husband anywhere near the oval office. If the American people were dissatisfied with Hillary Clinton, imagine what they are going to get with Teresa Heinz. I'm defintely not going to buy any more of her products. DelMonte for me from now on!
