When we Democrats take over
Let show them the real plus of mixing church and state.
We can start sending FBI CIA all kinds of guys in black suits wearing sunglasses to sit in there pews.


What do ya think?

1. I think that type of attitude is the reason
we are not in power in any shape or form in the federal government or a majority of the state governments.

What are we KGB?

9. Yeah, I've gone crazy on people like this before.

"It's just a joke." "It's just a joke." "It's just a joke."

Let's see...

Really bad idea that makes DU look like a bunch of fascists? Check.

Utter lack of understanding of how humor works? Check.

Making fun of something that truly isn't funny? Check.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...

10. In all the years the Dems had control of Congress
...we never did anything like that. So, it was quite easy to see the humor in it. Like some New Yorker cartoon, it was a piece of hyperbole to me. I guess it's one benefit from my being around for a very long time.

11. I don't think seniority has anything to do with it.
And I stand by my comments.

You'd think someone who really believed in the cause would have come back to defend themself by now.

God knows if someone implied what I implied to me, there'd be flames shooting out of peoples' monitors.

12. they did return
Edited on Fri Feb-11-05 02:44 PM by eleny
and say that they were trying to joke.

btw, you do know that it's illegal, here at du, to call people what you're calling them?

Edit: i was referring to my age, not any sort of "seniority". and age does afford experience. doesn't matter if you acceept that or not. it's a fact.

13. Funny you should say that
I realized it watching Lamb on c-span today.
He asked callers what they thought the difference in the way Democrats and Republicans understand values.
All the Republicans thought it was like going to church things like that.
I think Democrats assume each other are going to act morally and don't have to work so hard at appearing moral.
Whereas Republicans have to keep reminding everybody and them selves how they are, because it is uncomfortable and foriegn to them.
I think that is why they cling to there churchs so much, There confidence in there beliefs is weak and they need support. I on the other hand know Being Liberal is just and true and I fear not that path even if I have to walk it alone.

15. I'm Sorry.
I was totally off-base in my comments. I hope you can accept my humble apology.
