		<description>Well,  Celtic angel, you never know what exotic drinks there are up there !  A fellow student once asked our teacher (a Catholic nun): &quot;Sister, will there be milkshakes in heaven?&quot;  &quot;Of course there will be.  And everything else you can think of.&quot;  ;-)</description>

		<description>I thought we were all going to have a IMAO class reunion at Fiddlers Green, then we could sail over to Valhalla to watch Frankj and Marvin try out for positions on the varsity fightin&#039;/drinkin&#039;/and wenchin&#039; team. 
(Until Sarahk rides in with a squad of Valkiries and tells Frankj, &quot;Don&#039;t give Me that &#039;till death do us part&#039; BS!)</description>

		<description>#24 You know I don&#039;t go to bars.  Pubs maybe but since I don&#039;t think fire water is going to be necessary in heaven maybe we should meet someplace interesting.  I&#039;m thinking Alpha Centari or mayhaps in the bowl of the Big Dipper.  

Wouldn&#039;t that be just too cool.</description>

		<description>He&#039;s so right. Old people don&#039;t care at all about healthcare...this despite the fact that you can&#039;t have a conversation with one that doesn&#039;t include all their current health problems, including intricate details regarding their last bowel movement.

Nope, obviously plants with no dog in the hunt.</description>

		<description>Wouldn&#039;t heaven be a lot cooler if it was actually a drinking bar.  Not a lame college bar, but a rowdy biker bar with lots of free beer, red meat, and tons of fighting.  Oh and there would be busty wrenches, tons of busty wrenches.  And after people were killed in battle, they would come back to life so they could fight again.

That heaven would be awesome.  I wonder why no religion ever had a heaven like that?</description>

		<description>I got my pitchfork from GM and the handle broke the first day! 

I thought Boxer said it was Brooks Brothers suit types. No self-respecting Southern redneck would be caught dead in one, particularly after Obama wore one at his inauguration.

No, the problem is the gray hair. Anybody old enough to have it remembers when we used to have a constitution.</description>

		<description>No one else seems to want to say it so I will---- If THE OBAMA were white , had all the same policies, and all the same socialist ideas--- He would have never been elected.  The left voted for a black man --not any ideas or policies . I was recently in a civilized argument with a liberal douche bag. He said to me &quot;We should all be proud that this country voted a black man into office&quot;. I told him that statement proved he is the racist. Skin color should mean nothing , but the libs wont let go of the race card.</description>

		<description>Now, I have to explain first that I&#039;m a Buddhist and our cosmology is way different from that of Christians; that said, suppose there is some sort of afterlife after all, and suppose this dude meets George Washington, T. Jefferson, et al. there. I can imagine them saying stuff to this &#039;dissenting patriot&#039; like, &quot;We guaranteed your freedom of speech, of association, of thought: everything, and the best you can come up with is &#039;Republithug&#039;?&quot;  Also, &quot;By the way, just what is your issue with using tea as a protest symbol, again?&quot;

Anyway, my vote for Republithug of the week is Rep. Michele Bachmann (don&#039;t know if links are allowed here, but if so:
http://motorcitytimes.com/mct/michele-bachmann-reading-the-words-of-ezekiel-emanuel/ )

That puts the problems older people have with this health care plan pretty much into context. Frankly (no pun intended), I&#039;m surprised they&#039;re *not* at the pitchfork stage just yet. Probably because this is America, and people who disagree with the President and some Congresscritters/leadership are still and will always be allowed to express themselves freely, without fear of reprisals. America, even whatever part Joe B. came from, is way cool.</description>

Jefferson, et al. there. I can imagine them saying stuff to this &#8216;dissenting patriot&#8217; like, &#8220;We guaranteed your freedom of speech, of association, of thought: everything, and the best you can come up with is &#8216;Republithug&#8217;?&#8221;  Also, &#8220;By the way, just what is your issue with using tea as a protest symbol, again?&#8221;</p>
<p>Anyway, my vote for Republithug of the week is Rep. Michele Bachmann (don&#8217;t know if links are allowed here, but if so:<br />
<a href="http://motorcitytimes.com/mct/michele-bachmann-reading-the-words-of-ezekiel-emanuel/" rel="nofollow">http://motorcitytimes.com/mct/michele-bachmann-reading-the-words-of-ezekiel-emanuel/</a> )</p>
<p>That puts the problems older people have with this health care plan pretty much into context. Frankly (no pun intended), I&#8217;m surprised they&#8217;re *not* at the pitchfork stage just yet. Probably because this is America, and people who disagree with the President and some Congresscritters/leadership are still and will always be allowed to express themselves freely, without fear of reprisals. America, even whatever part Joe B. came from, is way cool.</p>

		<description>Umm. All Republicans are racist and hate black people. He does know the Republicans are run by a black man, with an awsome sence of humor?

		<description>This post is a logical fallacy (Poisoning the Well, but let&#039;s be fair, there is the classical way to look at it and the liberal way to look at it. Observe:

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Classical&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;: 
1) Person A is accused of being/doing unfavorable things (the accusation can be true or not)
2) Therefore, any arguments/claims/beliefs made by Person A are inherently false due to previous accusation

&lt;i&gt;Example&lt;/i&gt;:
Senior Citizen: &quot;I&#039;m not sure I agree with every component of the health care bill.&quot;
Nancy-Boy: &quot;Well then that means you&#039;re a racist, thus any objection you have is automatically invalid.&quot;

&lt;i&gt;Why this is a fallacy&lt;/i&gt;:
Simple - even if someone is a racist, it doesn&#039;t discredit the arguments one brings forth. If a black history teacher is debating a white student on if Custard died at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and the teacher says, &quot;Look you stupid little white boy, he died. This is why white people should be rounded up and put away!&quot;, the teacher&#039;s blatant racism, though abhorrent, has no bearing on the facts of his claim; Custard certainly did die at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, regardless of the teacher&#039;s racism. 

Likewise, in the health care debate, the main voices of the opposition &lt;i&gt;might&lt;/i&gt; be racist, might be old, and might just hate that we have a black president; but they&#039;re putting for substantial claims (substantial in that they have substance behind them) that may or may not be true, regardless of their claims. 

Now for the liberal view of this fallacy: 

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Liberal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

1) Perzon A (man or womyn) iz Obama hater and rasist!
2) Teh bad

&lt;i&gt;Example&lt;/i&gt;
Racist whacko: &quot;All your town hall are belong to us!&quot;
Nancy Pelos: &quot;I lawlz u! Rasist!&quot;

&lt;i&gt;Why this is a fallacy&lt;/i&gt;
Iz nt fallacy! Only fallacy whn republithugs attak teh commucrats! LOL!!!11!1!!!

I hope that this sums it up.</description>
