We all know there is a fairly powerful but loosely-knit group of organizations who are working together to get rid of any and all Christian influence in the United States. As a cartoonist, one could choose any facet of that group: The Civil Liberties Union, militant atheists, rabble-rousers who just like to start fights, extremists from other religions, and of course those few who seriously think Christianity is the cause of all of humanity's ills. I'd say Ralph just wadded them all up into a ball and got Beltane.
Hey, if there was no Christmas on Dec. 25th, then there'd be no holiday of any kind on Dec. 25th... And I LIKE holidays!

What the ACLU is doing is getting rid of GOVERNMENT influence on religion.
When government and religion combine, BOTH are dimished.
As to militant atheists, Michael Newdow is a grandstanding moron.

The ACLU??? These are the *!@#( that are trying to break down the Constitution for the liberals, such as by getting the courts to declare that the prisoners at Guantanamo should have the same legal rights as U.S. citizens. ENEMY COMBATANTS! TERRORISTS!! Musn't upset their civil rights and must respect their murderous "religious" beliefs!!
I've had PERSONAL experience with those slimey scum sucking s.o.b.'s and if you believe they are trying to do ANYthing worthwhile, go stand on your head in a bucket of fresh cement. They are the most insidious destroyers of the U.S. Constitution and our freedom of religion you will find anywhere. At least Al-Queda has openly declared itself. These lice are hiding and boring from within.

There's no insanity in my family. *I* have it all!!
Yeah, if we don't respect prisoners' rights, why should any other country or group?labrusca wrote:The ACLU???

Turn off Bill O'Reilly and try thinking for a change.

Coward. Why do they always scream "coward" when somebody disagrees and tells them to shut up?
To me, Ralph is no more a coward than you are an American. Defending our enemy's "rights". Stating the ACLU is doing us a favor. And finally, calling someone a coward because they are sick of hearing your views and you assume they're going to ban you because of it.
Believe whatever the hell you want, Archae. You can't tell a person who's had personal experience anything, even if they are wrong (and I don't think labrusca is in this case).
To quote Ralph, "If you're being silenced, why won't you shut up?!"

I'm lost. I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back, please ask me to wait. Thanks.

I've never banned anyone, and deleted only ONE post since it was nothing by obscenities.
And I damn well AM an American, just because I don't agree with president Bush and the neocons doesn't make me "anti-American."
Archae has never been interested in "reasonable discussion" in his entire time here."
he is annoying, rude, abusive, and the very model of an obstinate, insufferable self-anointed liberal prick.
I am sick of arguing with someone who thinks that the fact you aren't liberal is all the proof he needs that everything you say is wrong. I am REALLY sick of his puerile, infantile accusations of "cowardice" whenever I get sick of his mental diarrhea and refuse to respond to him.
And posting a phony email with my name on it claiming that I'm gay is BEYOND the last straw.
I'm speaking with the Keenspace admins right now to have his abusive, tourettes-syndrome retard ass BANNED from these forums.

YO EVERYBODY!!!
Take a fucking CHILL PILL!!! NO ONE needs to be flaming the other.
Archae, your WAY over the line, theres a place for speaking your mind, but name calling is bloody childish!! Getting your points across, and some of them are fucking GOOD ones, by this meathod DOES NOT WORK. You can dissagree, not like, even think of someone as downright vile, but on a public forum, such as this, there MUST be proper Decorum.
Labrusca, as well as a few others, one of Archae's more sound points IS the treatment of prisoners by US military forces. There is such a thing as meeting force with force, yes i agree, but there is also such a thing as being Better than those that attack you. Cases in point here -- in WW2 the Nazis, even as sadistic as they were concerning Jews, DID abide by the Geneva convention when it came to military personel, and indeed, as much as they posibly could overall, as THEY expected the Allies to do the same for THIER men in POW camps. The Japanese, on the other hand, were brutal, sadistic, neglegent, and so on to thier POWs, because to thier train of thought, to be taken prisoner was the worst possible disgrace, worse than death or anything. However, for the most part, all sides aside of the Japanese abided more or less by the Geneva convention.
More to the present point is this --- Yes, I freely admit, many of the actions done by the terrorists in both countries have been beyond sadistic --- but that gives the Americans the God Given Right to be equally dirty pool? I thought you Americans were Better than that; after all, that IS what you preach, both as Americans, AND as Christians (or Catholics, or whatever else may apply).
RHJunior, tis your board, so you have the right to say as you like, but I would like to remind you of what i just told Archae -- there is such a thing as Public Decorum. as a Host, or Moderator, you should be (and in fact for the most part, I would say you have been) a leading example of such.
For the most part, I would say we are all adults here, yes? THen perhaps acting AS such is in order.

No, it doesn't. The actions of a few individuals (who MAY have been following orders, which is no excuse) have tainted the good we have done by removing a tyrant from power. It is my hope that all guilty parties are punished to the full extent of the law.RKCoon wrote:Yes, I freely admit, many of the actions done by the terrorists in both countries have been beyond sadistic --- but that gives the Americans the God Given Right to be equally dirty pool?
Let this not detract from the fact that the Iraqi people have taken a giant leap forward to the goal of freedom by voting in the recent elections, braving gunfire and terrorist attacks to exercise their newly-gained democratic rights.
When trouble arises and things look bad, there's always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is insane.
One more thing:
RK - I do not agree with your views. It is every person's right, however, to express their own opinion, and screaming at them because you do not agree with them is not conducive to changing their mind. One person has already been removed from this forum tonight for being 'overly enthusiastic' in expressing his opinions, and it would be a shame if someone else were to suffer the same fate. I will make every effort to keep my responses civil, and I suggest that everyone else do the same.

Oh, Indeed -- as I said, we are all adults here. But a thought, concerning the powers that be --- Where does the line stand, between removing someone for being, as you said, overly enthusiastic, and someone who merely sticks to his verbal guns; politely? You may take offence to what I say --- but I may just as easily take offence to what YOU say.
One can CHOOSE to take offense, or one can let someone else's opinions blow past like a fart in the wind. I suggest you pass gas at someone else - it's 1:00 AM where I'm at and I have to work in the morning. Good night and pleasant dreams.
