Okay, this has to stop, it's not cute anymore, it's SAD

You've seen it now a million times. Someone at a football game emploring the home 11 to make a defensive stand with the giant cardboard letter 'D' and then a cardboard or wooden picket fence. "See, it says D-Fence, we're sure to stop them now, look, it's clever spirit on display!!"

No, it's not, it's hackneyed, 20 years from being original and LAME. This shit HAS TO STOP NOW. People should be ejected from stadiums for even ATTEMPTING to do this. Who knows, the picket fence could be used to deliver a poisonous RICIN attack. I'm just saying....



Ass clowns

I am a PROUD American and I vote Republican!

I go to church, I contact the FCC when something I might not like appears on my television. I have two SUV's for taking my kids to soccer and football. I have two small American flags on my two SUV's and of course I have a yellow 'Support our Troops' ribbons on my vehicles. I voted for Bush-Cheney proudly. I support the war in Iraq because they had nuclear weapons and WMD's to use on us like FOX News said.

The troops there dying is sad but ther is NO WAY I am enlisting to fight my president's war. My kids shouldn't have to go either. This is America, let the poor kids go defend my consumption. My kids should enjoy a proper 4 year college education while less savory economic-types should enlist. My kids won't go if drafted either, they shouldn't have to fight. They're Republicans and that kind of sacrifice is beyond my comprehension....

"Our budget will run a deficit that will be small and short term."--George W. Bush 2002

Well I'm sure this will be shrugged off by Republican apologists as just the continuing effects of 9/11 (Reports show the total 9/11 bill to be only 7 billion dollars) and wars on two fronts (one actually necessary!).
They don't mention the grossly underreported multi-trillion dollar tax cuts given now FOUR times to the economic upper crust, defecit spending and tax cuts DURING a war. Republicans again this week raised the debt ceiling 800 billion (it's just so very strange they didn't mention any of this BEFORE the election).

Johnny Action Space Punk, is it true we can cut taxes during a war, give the rich all the tax cuts, spend money like Arab teenagers and STILL have a great economy?
Johnny says, let's ask the experts;

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that President Bush's proposed 2005 budget would nearly double our current debt to about $14.5 trillion by 2014.
Bill Clinton left office with a 127 billion dollar SURPLUS (MORE than enough to cover the horrors of 9/11 but then again, remember, Republicans tell us if you let Democrats run the economy, they'll ruin it).
Yes, citizens, we HAVE heard of this economic plan before and it was called 'Voodoo Economics" back then in 1980. You wanna know who called it that? George H.W. Bush, 41st President and father of the current President...

Red States capitulate--"We're DOOMED, we're DOOMED"

The red states have thrown in the towel and cast their lot with the Dr. Smith's of the world. George W. Bush and Dick Cheney ran on ONE issue, let's not be mistaken. They were the only ones capable and with the know how to keep Americans safe. Cheney in fact said America would be "hit again if voters make the wrong choice on November 2nd". 51% of Americans on November 2nd voted to run behind mommy's skirt and hide behind her. The other 48 % stood tall and said the hell with this. Americans historically stand up for themselves, don't quake in their boots in the face of danger and go on about their daily business safe in the thought that there are more than TWO people in America who can and want to kep it safe from terror attacks. We don't let it rule our lives to the point of it affecting our most precious birthright.

By the way red states, it seems funny (and now bordering on hypocritical) that you used your votes like you were on Fear Factor and the tragedies of September 11th happened in BLUE states. Not one plane took off from or crashed in a red state and yet the blue states aren't the ones cowering in fear. The people who actually LIVE in the cities and states that are the terrorists targets realize the stupidity of the President's Iraq folly made THEM more likely to be attacked, but what would you care, what's the terror color code in Wichita? Duck all you reddies in Helena Montana, Osama has his eye on you.

Evangelicals--The REAL American Taliban

A suburban American school board found itself in court yesterday after it tried to placate Christian fundamentalist parents by placing a sticker on its science textbooks saying evolution was "a theory, not a fact".

Atlanta's Cobb County school board, the second largest board in Georgia, added the sticker two years ago after a 2,300 strong petition attacked the presentation of "Darwinism unchallenged". Some parents wanted creationism - the theory that God created humans according to the Bible version - to be taught alongside evolution.

Let's see, the religious fanatics (Hey it's happening in Georgia, Texas and Tennessee CURRENTLY) demand that centuries of hard science FACT be marginalized in favor of putting creationism and evolution on the same factual plain. Now, they want evolution marginalized even more, why? "It's not proved, yet" Hmmm, that would make creationism what? The invisible man in the sky who sees everything, and his infallible carpenter son who turned water into wine, fed the masses with a couple loafs of bread and few bluegills, who actually was conceived via virgin birth, was killed and then rose from the dead, as the basis of all things on earth is SO much more rooted in fact. Like Jimmy Fallon says, if the red state freaks have their way, soon dinosaurs will be known as 'Jesus Horses'...

Johnny Action Space Punk thinks these sorts of people serve to drag America down and should be put to sleep....Let's make sure the red states all get the 'special' flu shots this year.

Boy howdy how the election changed the US map. Frankly, I'm surprised.

This is a Romeo fox trot shall we dance?

Was it cooincidence Karl Rove made sure that states that were considered battleground all had anti-gay marriage propsals on them? It certainly brought out the christian evangelicals to vote in larger numbers when there is red meat on the ballot. Poll after poll showed Americans didn't like gay marriage, most of these same people hear the word gay in a sentence and cover their ears and begin quoting scripture, so there were the propsals lying in wait to trip up Kerry and the Democrats.

If Democrats are interested in a little payback, remember, Americans SUPPORT stem cell research by the same margins they don't like gay anything.

Let's make sure in the mid-term elections that wherever there could be a house seat in a Republican area that is up for grabs, the issue of stem cell research is right there with them on that ballot....

Take this issue forward and beat Republicans about the head and neck with it.
