More about the Yule Goat
You didn't think she got skinny by dieting now did you?
And where do you think her hate is coming from?
I'd be an admirer of Powell if he'd stayed retired after he hung up his uniform. Once he became a Republican politician, he showed himself to be just another partisan hack.
You're absolutely correct, but you've left out Michelle Malkin, who has gone on an aggressive attack against the gay community. So far, every day this week she has taken cheap and hateful pot-shots at gays. As I wrote today, the word “homosexual” appears in 45 of her blog posts, and the word “gay” appears in well over 150 of her blog posts. I think it's time we took an active look at her bigotry, and stop letting her get away with it.
Now to the failed auto bailout. I think the play is that some of the previously approved $700,000,000,000 bailout funds will be used for the auto industry. The twist is Congress will have to approve the second $350,000,000,000 traunch for Treasury to use a portion for the auto industry.
Also want to say, Obama's election was not a sign of the end o racism, it was a fluke. My guess is that many who voted for him did so pinching their noses. May be another 100 years before we elect another African-American as our president. I hope not, though also not saying or implying that there is anything inherently superior about Blacks any more than there is anything inherently inferior about them. They are simply another people as we are all people ... well, almost, Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Gonzales, Rice and that crowd are planaria, flat worms and a disgrace even to flat worms.
The rightwing fanatics are the same ones who approved of slavery and every other oppression--against women, against differences in sexuality, even against people they really hate who side with them and are willing to lose their self-respect, freedom and dignity in the process. "Otherness" must be accepted and embraced if the human race is to survive.
Only when you can accept the humanity of everyone as being worthy of care and dignity can you even be considered as a full human being yourself, no matter who you are, your background, your position in life, your wealth or any other measure, including religion and poltical ideology. Accepting and embracing bigotry of any kind is the true root of all evil and must be fought at every level.
Truly, the CONservatives will be the personas non grata of this new century.

WASHINGTON - President George W. Bush is delivering the final commencement speech of his presidency at Texas A&M University.
Sheeze! Most kindergartens would be embarrassed to invite Bush to speak before them. What is a Texas A&M degree worth, 10 cents, 2 cents? Pathetic!
My alma mater is going down the tubes since I graduated. :(
No, bigotry and ignorance are pretty much owned by wingernutdom.

Next!
How about Mike Malloy? I think he's great and quite the anti-Limbaugh.

because THEY ARE COMPOSED OF EVIL PEOPLE.
THE REAL QUESTION IS:
HOW DO WE GET MILLIONS OF EVIL PEOPLE TO CHANGE & BECOME GOOD PEOPLE?
