Hey!

That's not true!

We've got google maps!

Oh, wait. It says "Did you mean: Mauritania". Nevermind.

Hmmm pretty sure I just saw a story on CBS not too long ago about child slavery and how it's grown since the earthquake due to all the orphans.
You mean like those nice "christian" folks who rounded up a bunch of "orphans" to bring to the US to "adopt".

No, I mean Haitians enslaving other Haitians, usually orphans.

So you don't mean it when its done by Americans only when its non Americans
Can you find some examples?
May I suggest the State Dept yearly country reports on human rights abuses.
Would you like a link to the Haiti page or are you able to find documentation provided free by your evil feds?:rotfl2:

Didn't you hear?

Conservative black people aren't really black people at all.

It's amazing the dichotomy that the same left which believes, say, prisons are for rehabilitation and not punishment cannot accept that any CONSERVATIVE man could start off in the gutter and end up preaching strong values.

I think it's more showing the dichotomy between Beck "thinking" he's a civil leader and actually being one.

The Rally is a stunt, nothing more. Why else would Palin be there?
and I'm aware that a rally is a stunt. But usually it has some purpose other than furthering Palin's career and making beck feel important.

Do you intend upon showing how, or are you content upon just assuming that we should all just agree with you?

You clearly weren't aware that a rally is a "stunt" when, in another thread, you so insightfully opined that this Beck rally was, in your opinion, a publicity stunt.

As far as your assertion regarding Palin, let me introduce another term's meaning to you - "ad hominem". And the making Beck feel important part? Really? The guy is insanely popular. What do you base your accusation upon?

Seriously, man, is your entire life goal to be nothing more than the party-line Democrat? Look, I'm not much of a Beck fan myself, but your hatred for him seems to surpass any intellectual reasoning - else you would have provided one.

It must be nice to merely rely upon the Daily Kos and MSNBC for instructions upon how to think.

Maybe I am a party line democrat. But thats my political affiliation. Just as you sound to be a party line republican. I don't have to agree with you to be intelligent.

also, a rally is held to further a cause as it's main point. I have the feeling this current "rally" is more about beck and Sara making a splash under the thin veil of a "political cause". Glen Beck is a T.V. Pundit. They make their living talking loud, and pissing people off for the fame. Thats exactly what sara and glen did. Made a lot of noise at the Lincoln memorial and got in the news. Even the date of the rally seems to have been picked to make it even more of controversy thus making it more noteworthy.

Furthermore, that picture pretty muched summed up how beck is certianally not cut out to be a moral leader.

Except I'm not a Republican. I'm very independent, and I certainly don't toe the party line.

In fact, I tend to disdain party line folks as representative of what's wrong with America - people who unwaveringly relegate their very opinions to others does nothing to encourage honesty in our representatives. Rather, it encourages otherwise.

It is a weak mind that decides to agree with an idea merely because they are supposed to, which is what party-line people do.

That picture took some of the more eccentric parts of Beck's personal life and compared it to the accomplishments of King. It certainly wasn't an unbiased and fair comparison, and I suspect that most everyone of us wouldn't want to see a similar graphic comparing our more "loose" moments to Dr. King.

Only a liberal could think such a graphic is actually indicative of moral authority.

The Third Man 08-31-10 09:31 PM

If nothing else the Saturday rally showed how upset the regular citizen is with the current affairs of the United States. We can argue how we got and stayed here, but we can all agree that a change is needed.

Bubblehead1980 08-31-10 09:44 PM

Well honestly the regular citizen is in part to blame because for so long many had an apathy towards participating in government, even those who vote would often vote uninformed or just voted the same old douchebag back into office over and over.Thus why we have/had the Ted Kennedys, Arlen Specters, Chris Dodd's, Barney Franks, Dennis Hasterts etc

I think 2008 will be the last time for a long time that our citizens fall for a candidate like Obama.So many just jumped on the bandwagon without really looking him over because they are just tired of GW Bush and the pretend Republican policies.The various problems, election of Obama and the aftermath was a wake up call to many, this decade can still be saved but it will take continued involvement.One good thing about Obama being President, it awoke the sleeping giant:arrgh!:
