1. Stunned Sean Hannity into submission?

There's a mental image I don't really need.

3. how to become a believer in RW rhetoric ...

keep hitting yourself in the head with a large hammer until you believe that Ronald Reagan made this country great.

Don't stop just because you became unconscious, you're almost there ...

2. Stephanie had Brian Lamb laughing.

I thought she was great.

4. that is exactly my definition of a liberal.

conservatives are 'every man for himself' and liberals are 'we are all in this together'. short and sweet.

5. ANd the thing about this ellen is that the tenets of liberalism are exactly the tenets

of Christianity and yet the conservatives, who profess the greatest love for Christ and his teaching, are the very ones that crap on them. Splain that, cuz no conservative I have ever asked this question had an answer (that was reasonable).


Christ - whether you love him, question his existence, question his theology, or simply just don't believe; you have to accede that the basic tenets of Christianity are ones to live by - not the things that conservative Christians have come to say he said and believed.

6. amen to that! i have argued that 'til i'm blue in the face

i have never gotten a decent answer either. jesus was a liberal. no doubt about that.

imo, christianity is not preached here . . . the most outspoken congregations are just exclusive clubs. they may talk the talk but they do NOT walk the walk. that's probably why i'm an atheist.
