		<description>&lt;p&gt;Bergs… 281&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Come on Bergs… are you that naive that you don’t see that both liberals and conservatives at times make off-color remarks or jokes?  It’s just that some liberals faint with outrage when they hear conservatives do it showing the clear double standard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pretty week calling me a racist because I’m a Republican when you don’t even know me.  Do you think that all those folks in the “red” states are rich?  There have been studies that on a per-capita basis, some of the poorest states give more to charity then the liberal bastions of New York and California.  YOU DONT MEASURE COMPASION ONLY BY HOW MUCH YOU PAY IN TAXES!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t need some elitist telling me I’m greedy when I give plenty to my Synagogue, my community and upwards of 40% of my income to taxes.  I hope if you have children or plan to have children that you teach them that personal responsibility is very important.  I know I tell that to my 16 year old son all the time.  Please open up your mind.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your comments prove you have no idea what makes this country great.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BTW… Here are a few liberal comments in case you want to google them:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dick Durbin at an event in Illinois telling a joke about Why Abraham Lincoln should be considered Jewish.&lt;br /&gt;
Because his name is Abe and he was shot in the temple.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hillary Clinton joking that “Mahatma Gandhi used to run a gas station in St. Louis”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Senator Joe Biden commenting that “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”.  And then stating recently that he is an attractive candidate in the south because his state of Delaware was a Slave State.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Senator Robert Byrd using the term “white niggers”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Liberals in Hollywood??? to many comments to list (see Whoopi Goldberg)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OK – HERE’S A SOLUTION FOR “THE LIEBERMAN SUPPORTER IN OSAMA COSTUME” PROBLEM&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The thing is, that guy doesn’t look even remotely like Osama, he looks more like a shepherd in a school play.  So here’s what could be done to take advantage of this - it’s simple, it’s fast, and EASY!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Make a couple of picket signs that say &lt;b&gt;“Moses For Lamont”&lt;/b&gt;. Have two Lamont volunteers hover around the robed guy with their &lt;b&gt;“Moses For Lamont” &lt;/b&gt;signs  All of a sudden, Osama-man becomes an apostle.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;ummmm, break @277,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would like to see some links or examples of off-color remarks by Clinton, or any Liberal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You see, Just by their very nature, Republicans are racists!    WHAT was it that first got them fired up against Democrats and swarming to Republicans?   Why is was Ronald Reagan’s Framing Black Welfare women driving to get their checks in their Cadillacs!     Tell me that is not why you are a Republican—greedily thinking of only your own wallet and not giving to anyone in need.   Instead, throw out that old worn out “personal responsibility’ phrase as your defense!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And isn’t it so sad, that the Republican’s destruction of our country have turned so many people against the flag or anything that points to our Government !   I shall take great pride again in hanging out our flag, when the Democrats take back this country and give us something to be proud about.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;jane –&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a friend and i were discussing this the other day after i received a viral email ‘joke’ where hillary clinton survives a plane crash and the punch line is a picture of a broom. he said it’s impossible to be funny when you’re oblivious to the obvious. i mean, you could see the broom from the first line of the joke. looking at iraq, afghanistan, now iran … it’s painfully clear that the right just can’t see what is glaringly obvious to the rest of the world.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I’m sorry but I must beg to differ on this notion that conservatives can’t be funny. Even some liberals have found that my site can be funny, sometimes intentionally so.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Actually… I find that photo hilarious.  I know the Republican was trying to look like a swarthy Arab but instead he looks like Abe Lincoln in a night cap.  In other words, it looks like Abe Lincoln got out of bed to endorse Ned Lamont.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;ET, 241&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You may know something about this already, but there is research going on using stem cell lines to study Marfan’s. Not a cure yet, but studying the etiology of the disease. Emphasis mine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Stem cell lines are absolutely the best way of studying disease,” he told New Scientist. For example, novel drug treatments can be tested on the mutant stem cells, he says.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The mutant lines created by the institute include mutations that cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Huntington disease, &lt;b&gt;Marfan syndrome.&lt;/b&gt; and thalassaemia, amongst others. The newest lines are from embryos with chromosomal abnormalities. For example, a line has been created for trisomy 14 - where cells have three copies of chromosome 14 instead of the usual two.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
