Anything I say is too loud for her mood
I will have to come back

with the scalp of my old life

Sartre
Shall I pass judgement on my character, on my nature? Is this not to veil from myself at that moment what I know only too well, that I thus judge a past to which by definition my present is not subject? The proof of this is that same man who in sincerity posits that he is what in actuality he was, is indignant at the reproach of another and tries to disarm it by asserting that he can no longer be what he was.

Sartre quote
It is necessary then to recognize that destruction is an essentially human thing and that it is man who destroys his cities through the agency of earthquakes or directly, who destroys his ships through the agency of cyclones or directly. But at the same time it is necessary to acknowledge that destruction supposes a pre-judicative comprehension of nothingness as such and a conduct in the face of nothingness.

But Glenn Beck has a point, either everyone pays the fee for service, or no one does. Maybe it should be a part of taxes, an extra fee you have to pay. But it sounds like the fire department is working outside its district.

Jon Stewart's 'Million Moderates' Rally Organized by Two Liberal Clintonistas
The Washington Post promoted the dueling Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert liberal satirist rally on Saturday's front page with the blurb: "Comedy Central sets up opposing stunts in October. Your dilemma: Join Stewart's 'Million Moderates,' or Colbert 'Keep Fear Alive'?" What Post TV critic Lisa deMoraes discovered is that there are no moderates organizing this event on the last weekend before the midterm elections. Comedy Central is relying on two liberal Clintonistas.
Don't go off the reservation...
I don't think Rove should be demonised for stating what he sees as real problems with O'Donnell. We enter a scary political era when you cannot say bad things about candidates in your own party. We enter a political era lacking in truthfulness.

Was it really a slam on Bristol?
I think Meghan was talking more about the people who were trying to manage her image, than attempting to slam Bristol. Regardless, it is good to see Bristol keeping a smile on her face. She didn't ask for her mother to be Sarah Palin, and she hasn't done anything thousands of teens haven't done.

Of course they have the right to burn Korans, but should they? No, I don't think so. It is a pointless gesture that is only going to fuel more hatred and fear in this world. I doubt Jesus would approve - not that they care.

You either support freedom or you don't....
Both sides do this. But you have to have it one way or the other.
I support both the mosque and the Glenn Beck rally.
This was a stupid move for World Net Daily...
I agree with Ann on every point she made.
A speaking agreement is not an endorsement.
This is all about publicity for the World Net Daily site.
On a side note, however you view the issue of being gay, it is only one aspect of a persons life. Taking such firm stands against people who identify themselves as being gay is to needlessly push them into voting for democrats.
It is times like these that make me love Greg...
In doing so, he makes a solid point. I am sicked by those who oppose the mosque, and want the government to take action. This is America, and the government cannot do that, not while remaining the country so many have fought and died for. I understand people died on Sept. 11, and families are hurt but they are being used by parties on the right with their own agenda. I firmly believe that waving around your grief is not only tacky, but a weak political argument. That is where I agree with Greg the most, this shouldn't be a political discussion like it has been.
The forces against the mosque have turned this into a fight, and a fight demands defensiveness from both sides.
Even governments make mistakes...
1) There is an assumption in the conspiracy community on both side of the political spectrum that every government mistake is a cover-up. While I am not discounting the fact some cover-ups are played off as mistakes, I want to be shown why I should believe that. I haven't seen a solid why in this case.
2) The cry for those pushing the story has always been that the administration used TIllman's death for political ends. Simply put, isn't that exactly what opponents to the war are doing? Two wrongs do not make a right.

Cop Pulls Out Gun On Motorcyclist
This is just wrong in so many ways...
If anyone should be going to jail it is the officer involved in this case.
This is nuts... Police should be recorded.
If anyone needs to be video taped, it is the police. I say people should do it more often, not less. I also think laws should encourage the taping of police encounters. They are often dangerous, and often the events of them are disputed. Video tape of police events will encourage good cops to be good cops and help remove the bad cops.
On a side note, I bet no officer is going to complain in a case where an abuse claim is made, but the video proves it to be false.

Anchor babies shouldn't get citizenship
Based on what Ann is saying it was never the intent of the 14th amendment. It also seems like an automatic magnet to attract people to this country, and not the people who want to come and work and support themselves. I am not making a racist statement here, people who are responsible citizens, don't have babies they can't afford.
