		<description>&lt;p&gt;The violence and nastiness in this post does show us that homosexuals can be just as stupid-sounding as the sort of rednecks that drag gays behind pickups.  If they had the power, would they act out their violent fantasies? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gay American theropods need not emulate Michelle Malkin’s rhetoric in order to get their point across.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I can’t think of anything more adorable than a gay dinosaur.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Republican Party is doing everything it can to set up the ramp and shark tank. When I turned 6, our nation celebrated its bicentennial, complete with special quarters, and everybody thought “It’s nothing but up and up from here!” 30 years later, I’m surrounded by scumbag Republicanites who think lying in support of Bush is fun and profitable, and Jesus freaks who think Plan B is a sin and evolution is a lie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How long after America runs out of money before it starts selling *its* old nuclear warheads to terrorists?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I have argued against so-called “hate crime” legislation on various progressive blogs. Here is a prime example of what we can get if what is really “thought crimes” legislation is enacted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070502.wvatican0502/BNStory/International/home&quot;&gt;http://www.theglobeandmail.com.....ional/home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The Vatican’s official newspaper accused an Italian comedian on Wednesday of “terrorism” for criticizing the Pope and warned his rhetoric could fuel a return to 1970s-style political violence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In an unusually strongly worded editorial, L’Osservatore Romano said a presenter of a televised May Day rock concert, which is sponsored by Italy’s labour unions, had launched “vile attacks” on Pope Benedict in front of an “excitable crowd”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“This, too, is terrorism. It’s terrorism to launch attacks on the Church,” it said. “It’s terrorism to stoke blind and irrational rage against someone who always speaks in the name of love, love for life and love for man.””&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, if someone at the event went out and hit a priest over the head, this Italian comedian could be accused of complicity in a “hate crime”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The Osservatore said Rivera’s monologue came amid growing anti-clericalism in Italy which included graffiti and Internet messages supporting the Red Brigades, the Marxist group involved in political violence particularly in the 1970s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Some people have even twisted (Bagnasco’s words) to start an insidious ‘war’, a new season of tension, which is inspiring those who are looking for motives to return to taking up arms,” the newspaper said.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Go ahead and support “hate crime” legislation, you will soon regret it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Tommy Thompson stated employers should have the right to fire gay employees.  He said it.  So let’s think about this.  Gay people should not have jobs.  How about women who’ve had an abortion?  How about atheists?  Marijuana smokers?  Hispanics?  Muslims?  Darwin cultists?  The list could go on and on.  After they’re all fired, then what?  Internment camps?  We already know Malkin’s on-board with that idea.  Jesus.  It’s not as if it’s being said.  It’s being said.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;How many weeks do you reckon ABC will dawdle eeking our the names they have - call me cynical but when I read they are only naming two horndogs Friday evening I’ve grown more skeptical of their true motives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Actually, according the WaPo, they’ve identified about a thousand.  At present, there are roughly ten names that they’re considering releasing; one of the criteria for name-release is the hypocrisy involved by the individual.  I think that’s why the USAID guy got named.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I think there’ll be additional name releases to come.  And supposedly … um, ?Brian Williams? was really pissed when he learned that they were only going to release two names; he thought they’d be naming more tomorrow and he’s really annoyed that they’re not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have been pissed of since seeing the two names only Friday night. The adminisration must be gulping a load of x*n*x or booze awaiting the names seeping out of the swamps and DC backwaters.&lt;br /&gt;
MOD NOTE:   *edited to allow to pass through spam filters )&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mea Culpa- Suzanne - scouts honor. ;~)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The Gipper Debate: John Dickerson&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;snip&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slate.com/id/2165510/&quot;&gt;GOP play nice in Library&lt;/a&gt;Mitt Romney:  For a candidate that is still introducing himself to voters, Romney hit that mark as well as a candidate can. But you get the feeling he may have had a polished apple under his podium for the moderator. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;McCain:  McCain said he would follow Osama Bin Laden to the gates of hell and you got the feeling he might walk right off the stage to start right away. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Abort, Retry: Rudy Giuliani had trouble with the abortion question. Repeatedly.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
What are you saying?  Are they getting just as much extra-marital sex, but not spouting “family values”?  Should  that alone get them off the hook?&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No, I think it’s more like, if you go around preaching the prostitution is evil, you shouldn’t go out with hookers.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
