&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gen. JC Christian, patriot,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What should I do now with my BUSH-PINOCHET ‘04 T-shirt I bought from you back in 2004?  The other General passed away today, so legislation to make him eligible to run in our elections will probably never pass.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ahhh. The Bush/Pinochet bumpersticker still adorns my car. All. Time. Favorite. Campaign. Slogan.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Has King Karl Lost His Magic Touch?&lt;br /&gt;
It’s an ugly rumor, but it’s spreading like wildfire: Karl Rove has lost his touch. In an amazing betrayal within a family where top political aide Rove is royalty, Bushies have been sneering at his pre-election happy talk that the gop would keep the Senate and take a slight hit in the House, both soon to be run by Democrats. And now we learn that President Bush really believed the GOP was safe, too. On the day before the elections, he asked embattled House gop leader Dennis Hastert to run for speaker again so he could guide the White House’s agenda in Congress&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That would be *so* beautiful!  I hasten to Raw Story.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;What manner of butt plug would you recommend for Mr. Delay?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It should be big enough to prevent leakage. It isn’t polite to be leaking oil while walking down the street.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                118              &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-414601&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Siun @ 109&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;As we plan our holiday, perhaps the General could enlighten us as to the his plans for the holiday - gifts Christmas eve or Christmas day? Goose or Ham or ? cookies and milk or a slug of brandy?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My neighbor, Mr. Garcia, is always very depressed over the holidays. His divorce, 15 years ago, hit him very hard. So, my wife, OfJoshua, usually goes over and spends the Christmas Eve with him reading scriptures and listening to old Luther Vandross albums–she’s a very Christian, compassionate woman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our boy, Jesus Garcia Christian, usually goes over on Christmas Day to be with them. That leaves me free to watch football and eat frito pie.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Veridad!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;egregious — I think BradRocket’s post was making fun of Bill-O, not Christians or Christmas per se.  But I appreciate your concern.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;You know, there are a lot of Americans, I’m gonna go ahead and say a MAJORITY of Americans, who are concerned about the direction of our nation, the war in Iraq, loss of Constitutional rights, et al.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But we are going to lose them if they think we loathe and disdain their basic belief in God.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Absolutely correct. I’d oppose torturing my neighbor if so many Godless hippies didn’t also  oppose it, and I’d be on board with helping the poor if the atheists would quit teasing me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.denverpost.com/frontpage/ci_4813329&quot;&gt;here are some true believers&lt;/a&gt; who know how not to be teased!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The majority of people are real Christians, unlike Haggard and the like, and do not take kindly to having their beliefs mocked and ridiculed.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m guilty and unrepentant. God is unscathed. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Galatians 6:7-8 NIV) Do not be deceived: God &lt;em&gt;cannot &lt;/em&gt;be mocked.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As for man…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;A man reaps what he sows.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Republicans, publicans, moneychangers.  What kind of spirits are they selling? (Or taking away?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keep up the good work all! And I’ll just be myself.  Even if I am a troll.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
