Oxymoronic statement.

There are no friendly games of Nine Ball, sir.

Are you quite sure English is your first language?

David Niewert on Torture

The baseline problem with torture, after all, is that it is prima facie immoral, a violation not just of the Golden Rule and basic Christian precepts, but of nearly any system of ethics. Even the most hard-nosed rationalist will come to this conclusion (see, e.g., Kant's Categorical Imperative). It's an obvious one if you're a Christian.

All you have to present to any Christian, when it comes to torture, is their own favorite moral-guidepost aphorism: What Would Jesus Do?

To anyone familiar not just with Jesus' teachings but the story of his martyrdom -- including his torture at the hands of authorities -- the answer is crystal clear.

..............

Well, now. That was rather bracingly clear and to the point, wasn't it?

However, the crux of the biscuit is ...

President(s) Cheney/Bush and the Republican Congress Support [a kinder, gentler, presumably Christian] Torture

Why more people (especially alla you Christians-in-name-only: CINOs!) do not have a serious fucking problem w/this is a question for the ages.

Torture? I have heard this a lot, but I didnt hear what exactly the charge is. Did they pull fingernails out? Cut off fingers? Drill holes in teeth. Hang people by thier nuts? Poke their eyes out! I was just wondering. Seem like knowing that would the important!

Just thought I would send this along. Here is a link to an article that appeared in the Michigan Daily yesterday. It is an interview with the young woman who came up with the controversial activities for the young Republicans.

This is disturbing on so many levels. She seems to be just what the Republicans are looking for.

RICE BOILS OVER AT BUBBA


RIPS \'FLATLY FALSE\' CLAIM ON BUSH\'S BID
TO GET BIN LADEN


By IAN BISHOP Post Correspondent



September 25, 2006 -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice yesterday accused Bill Clinton of making \"flatly false\" claims that the Bush administration didn\'t lift a finger to stop terrorism before the 9/11 attacks.
Rice hammered Clinton, who leveled his charges in a contentious weekend interview with Chris Wallace of Fox News Channel, for his claims that the Bush administration \"did not try\" to kill Osama bin Laden in the eight months they controlled the White House before the Sept. 11 attacks.

\"The notion somehow for eight months the Bush administration sat there and didn\'t do that is just flatly false - and I think the 9/11 commission understood that,\" Rice said during a wide-ranging meeting with Post editors and reporters.

\"What we did in the eight months was at least as aggressive as what the Clinton administration did in the preceding years,\" Rice added.

The secretary of state also sharply disputed Clinton\'s claim that he \"left a comprehensive anti-terror strategy\" for the incoming Bush team during the presidential transition in 2001.

\"We were not left a comprehensive strategy to fight al Qaeda,\" Rice responded during the hourlong session.

I do like this. My favorite song is still "Conspiracy". You & an accoustic, I like that.

"What we did in the eight months was at least as aggressive as what the Clinton administration did in the preceding years,\" Rice added.

"at least" is not really a phrase worth using there.

just go with "as aggressive"

otherwise it sounds like your speaking outta both sides of your mouth.

oh, wait a minute....

It’s Banned Books Week and I will celebrate by reading a banned or challenged book.
You should too. Take a look at the most challenged books of the 21st century and
the 1990s. What are some of your favorites?

You dont act like Willie did unless you have been caught wrong. It was the same look he gave when he was caught with chubby. Everyone already knows all this, I dont know why he gets so pissed every time he gets caught!
