You are delusional.

And, John, I think your post was a little over-the-top.

Sorry Ned. I apologize on behalf of the liberals for questioning authority and speaking our minds if we disagree with something. You conservatives are right in ostracizing us for doing so.

You should also learn how to march and salute!

Of course, Ramo. Democrats have never accused Republicans of trying to kill kids.

And, Teddy Kennedy has never used harsh rhetoric when criticizing Bush's policies.

BTW, guys, I am trying to post and watch the NFL games at the same time. I must tell you, that high-definition is great. I am watching the Bronco-Viking game HD. It is amazing!

Bezerker, did you see the ABC report Friday on Oxycontin? It can be chewed and give a high as good as the best heroin. Addiction to this drug has become a national problem. Apparently, its manufacturer, Purdue, pushed the pills for a long time after it became aware of the problem.

Lawsuits are soon to be filed.

What is your opinion on such a lawsuit?

Ned, get your head out of your ass and start thinking for once. You sound like a robot.

No, it was Fair and Balanced.

That's cool. Did you get any money?

Yeah right, from a non-profit group? Nope, I just got a horrible surprise when my little sister turned 18 and she shows me this pamphlet she got in the mail. I'd forgotten all about it until then.

I think you liberals are being a little hypersensitive to criticism.

I also believe the over-the-top rhetoric began (at least in recent history) with Clinton and Gore. It certainly has continued since Bush became president, not so? Or should I research some juicier quotes.

I'm sure everyone remembers shortly after the Oklahoma City bombing when Bill Clinton said that his only regret was that Timothy MacViegh hadn't bombed the Wall Street Journal instead. It was big news on Planet Ned. Of course, here on Earth it got less play.

Speaking of which -- why weren't all white men profiled immediately after the Oklahoma bombing??

Miscellaneous Berz arguments, cont'd

Continued response to some of Berz' miscellaneous arguments

Btw, [Mt 7:1-5] wasn't as "gentle" as you make out, he's accusing the hypocrites who judge others of something worse than the people being judged - those being judged by the hypocrites may have specks in their eyes but the hypocrites have planks in theirs.

Ah, now I understand. You're one of those guys who doesn't think Jesus had a sense of humor.
That's the problem with your type: you take the Bible too literally.

First, you said Coulter was making the point I made "inadvertantly". Now you say she was making a different point, so which is it? Second, she didn't make the point you're now claiming and even the point you're attributing to her is illogical. Liberals don't condemn social conservatives for committing adultery, they ridicule them for preaching morality to the rest of us while not living up to the very standards they preach. Coulter's point was that by not condemning, e.g., promiscuity, liberals have created a convenient loophole to avoid the charge of hypocrisy when the are promiscuous. And that is an illogical point as well because it presumes liberals are somehow required to condemn promiscuity, etc. That's like arguing you're a hypocrite for being a gun owner who doesn't condemn owning guns.

Excuse me, but the premise of a title "Why Liberals are not Hypocrites" is that it mocks them. She explains why they and their supporters turn a blind eye to hypocrisy on the left, and how that plays as being "honest" in the liberal mindset. But the universal caveat in a conservative analysis of liberalism is that the liberal mindset is fundamentally flawed.

No, their hypocrisy is that they never come right out and say, "Hey, some of best friends are adulterers." What they do is camoflage their own dissolute behavior behind their accusations of hypocrisy against conservatives.

Any calculated misrepresentation of one's own standards is likewise hypocrisy. The leftists can't be honest about their actual goals and still get elected. The conservatives can make a big deal of their actual goals as in the Contract With America, and then live up to their promises.

Your example is bogus. I don't see strident anti-gun Reps and Senators request that their Secret Service detail carry no guns. Then we have various Hollywood anti-gun loudmouths hiring armed private security, or even owning handguns themselves. This is OK "because they need protection" (and the rest of us don't because we aren't celebrities).

My God, you can find the most inane things to complain about, but to launch into this nonsense about me trying to "trick" you is downright silly.

I said you were either ignorant about the law, or deliberately ignoring the law because your point would be gutted. Either you are fooling yourself or trying to fool others into accepting your premise without informing them correctly. I'm sorry if I incorrectly assumed the latter instead of the former. I stand corrected, I guess you are fooling yourself…

liberals only call people like Rush "junkie" because that's how Rush et al have referred to people addicted to drugs.

No, I don't think so. That is how the libs characterize conservatives. For the most part the term "junkie" is not used for those who hold down jobs, take care of their families, and use drugs to an extent that doesn't interfere with such responsibilities. And celebs who get caught in the prescription painkiller trap are usually not called junkies. Homeless drug addicts that the libs love to hold up as noble sufferers of life's misfortune who should be protected from prosecution and given stipends to support their habits, yeah, I bet you can find lots of times Rush has called them junkies.

Again, he mocks people like Al "pothead" Gore, Bill "I didn't inhale" Clinton, and Marion "the b1tch set me up" Barry. Those who believe that recreational drug use is OK but can't stand up for it and win elections. That's what makes hypocrisy.

Ok, Neddy, give me some quotes, I'll burn your ass. Haven't you ever thought what Clinton said about the Wall Street Journal was a joke?
