Most of the people i know who say ...defining terms:<br />Most of the people i know who say ''I'm not bigoted but'' are attempting to say ''I'm not against'' or ''i don't hate''. They are not trying to say they do not make a distinction or have some stereotypes. Thats huge. Not perfect but its a huge leap away from hate.<br /> Lets have some compassion for those of us who are trying to be honest about feelings that make them uncomfortable. They are taking a big chance when doing so and need our help accepting truths that they are struggling with. The fact that they can feel comfortable enough to expose their true feelings to you is a compliment to you, and a sing of hope.<br />That said: Yes it is true some not a bigot BUT sayers truly are bigoted.

He never called anyone a tramp. nope.<br /> I read your opinions as well. LOL, the two of you agree lots more than you disagree. Wonder why you are so offended at him. He actually points out the unfairness of his viewer using the term ''prostitots'' and places all the blame on the parents.<br /> The dude is only saying to parents that they are wrong to sexualize their very young children, and provides research showing it may be unhealthy for the kids involved. seems as if he agrees that children should have time to simply be kids n not dress sexually provocative. As a parent he mentioned that he wont let his boy dress inappropriately, so i wonder why you slap him for only focusing on the girls.<br /> The issue was inappropriate girls clothing thats being marketed only because parents buy it.<br /> I agree with both of you. parents need to dress their children appropriately, both boys and girls.<br /> You called no one a tramp, he called no one a tramp.<br /> You support age appropriate attire in both genders, he does the same. You seem to be applying to him views that were not expressed in the link you provided.<br /> Don't call him ''draconian'' and demonize him for supporting the very views you hold. You two are kindred spirits on this issue.<br /> Calm down, take a deep breath, walk in the park n pick some flowers to place in a vase on the dining room table.<br /> LIFE IS GOOD :) enjoy it.The Reverendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13845183322947666476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177853092763931430.post-87897291300244327752012-05-07T10:23:52.867-06:002012-05-07T10:23:52.867-06:00Almost.

Have we lost the ability to ''respectfully disagree'', or just the desire to do so?The Reverendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13845183322947666476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177853092763931430.post-56610304767211243882012-05-07T09:58:59.976-06:002012-05-07T09:58:59.976-06:00Justices on the supreme court aren't there to ...Justices on the supreme court aren't there to ''vote'' according to their preference, rather they are charged with the chore of deciding weather laws are constitutionally sound or not. It matters not weather they like the idea of this law or hate it, thats is irrelevant my friend. The court is tasked with one question and one question only in each case before them ''is the government granted the authority to pass this law by our constitution''. Currently the question before the court is weather or not the individual mandate is constitutional, not weather its a good thing to have such a law or do they like the law.<br /> As free men and women many americans who can afford health insurance choose not to buy it. They have always considered that they had the ''RIGHT'' to make that choice. This mandate would not allow them to exercise what they have considered their right in the past. The lower courts have not settled the issue to the satisfaction of both sides so the question is now before a court of 9 not 5 but 9 law experts who have studied the constitution for more years than i have lived in many cases.<br /> It is not a perfect system, but its a damned good one. I challenge you to put forth a better one. <br /> Buy the way: the question in this case is not weather the law was passed threw a legal process. No one is questioning that it was passed by a legally elected congress. The question is weather or not said congress wrote a sound law that does not trample any individuals rights.<br /> Your disrespectful and hateful remarks do nothing to bring us together as a nation, and are not helpful in any way. There is a chance they will not decide in your favor, so you forget all about those poor folks whose rights may be trampled to give you what you want. Don't you care about those people? Should they lose their rights because you disagree? Why is every one who disagrees with you held in disregard and contempt? Is all your compassion reserved for only those who agree with you?<br /> I find it very disconcerting to hear liberals talking in such judgmental, hateful, angry terms with absolutely no regard for the concerns of a small minority group who do not want the same law you want. i.e. young healthy people who choose to spend their income on things like education instead of health insurance. We may not agree with their values and choices but I for one agree that they have the right to make that choice. Hateful speech such as yours is a sign of small-mindedness, use of F-Bombs and what not only belittle the user more than the one she/he directs them at.<br /> Grow up, if this law if found to be unconstitutional we can have a better one written. We have a wonderful system, best in human history. I love our system, even when i don't get my way.The Reverendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13845183322947666476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177853092763931430.post-53705402720566667802012-04-09T16:56:24.069-06:002012-04-09T16:56:24.069-06:00I think the oil companies are again trying to infl...I think the oil companies are again trying to influence the election. About this time four years ago, prices started falling. At the time, I assumed they were trying to get the albatross of high gas prices off their Oilman President and his friends.<br /><br />This time, it's the other way around... raising the prices to hurt the guy that's marching in lockstep with "drill drill drill."<br /><br />If people avoid voting for Obama because he isn't liberal enough, they should have their voting rights taken away on account of rampant stupidity. The choice is stark. The Pres may not be perfect, but the other guy will be an atrocity to the principles we value.The Reverendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13845183322947666476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177853092763931430.post-64483377128599137612012-04-06T21:28:03.912-06:002012-04-06T21:28:03.912-06:00I plan on it!!!I plan on it!!!The Reverendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13845183322947666476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177853092763931430.post-61632135012350502092012-04-06T21:00:45.044-06:002012-04-06T21:00:45.044-06:00I love Rachel and Lawrence.

Remember, we still have debates between Obama and Romney, which will only prove Obama's competance and his deserving another term.<br /><br />I don't see the economy sinking, nor the Dow...<br /><br />Gas prices are not controlled by the POTUS and during the debates Obama will stress that fact and the majority will believe him. We've had high gas prices before...<br /><br />Yes we are apathetic, but look at the wingnuts and the super job the media is doing in showing them as the woman haters, the poor haters, government haters, HC reform haters, haters of SS and Medicare... The majority of Americans do NOT stand with the dangerous policies of the Rightwingers.<br /><br />I really disagree about Obama being toast if there is a terrorist attack. The country rallies around the sitting president in those cases. Once again, it will be the SANE Americans who respect and support a calm, cool, collected, and INTELLIGENT president during a crisis. NOT a warmonger wingnut. Been there, done that...<br /><br />I believe all liberals and even the Independents will support Pres. Obama for 2012. We might be impatient but in the end we will weigh the 2 candidates and Obama will win, HANDS DOWN! I'm predicting a landslide! :)The Reverendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13845183322947666476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177853092763931430.post-83577144296919533742012-03-22T22:28:47.088-06:002012-03-22T22:28:47.088-06:00Hi Lauren!
