Remember when rabbits attempted a violent coup against Jimmy Carter? I wonder how things would be different now if they succeeded.
Hollywood has to be the only thing in the private sector that rivals the government in wasteful spending. Everyone is struggling to get by these days, but Hollywood is like, “Here’s $200 million to make a movie of the boardgame Battleship.” Why not just set the money on fire and film the pretty colors?
So if I denounce the pastor who plans to publicly burn Korans, does that mean I hate the 1st Amendment?
One thing I don’t like about burning Korans is it looks like we’re scared of it. We shouldn’t be like Saudi Arabia and the Bible.
Still, I guess I should loudly proclaim I support the 1st Amendment right to burn Korans before people call me an Amendment hater.
If Muslims across the world act calmly and politely to Korans being burned, they’ll really make that pastor look stupid and mean.
So what’s the chance the next Chicago mayor won’t exemplify the absolute worst in American politics?
I ain’t got time to bleed. Or proofread.
Anyone think this “Parker-Spitzer” show might be CNN’s cry for help? Can’t imagine another explanation.
I dream of the day we can stop treating the Middle East like a bunch of children we have to constantly worry about upsetting.
I think the next step for CNN is to hand over Larry King’s show to MeggieMac.
It’s fun to be emotionally invested in a sports team. Especially when they don’t suck.
While you’re condemning stuff, make sure to also condemn Muslims who get violent over things that don’t directly hurt anyone.
What offends me most is the expectation of violence from Korans being burnt.
“What offends me most is the expectation of violence from Korans being burnt.”
The Muslims put themselves into a position similar to an abusive spouse saying “look what you made me do”.
It is in bad taste to burn Korans, but it is not our fault that it makes certain elements of Islam behave badly.
No. You only hate the 1st Amendment if you oppose burning Bibles and American flags.
Frank, look at this whole Koran thing through Muslim eyes. Think about Gideon who was called “Jerub-Ba’al” (literally, “let Ba’al contend for himself”) because that was his defense when he hitched up his ox to the local pagan shrine and yanked it right out of the ground (if this is an apostasy, YOU shouldn’t have to do anything, YOUR GOD should be taking care of me.) (Judges 6-ish). So, if you have a sacred word of Allah that’s so sacred that infidels can’t handle it and we’re not sure we should be putting verses from it on the money because infidels handle THAT and if there’s you and a Koran and one seat you get the floor and the Koran gets the chair — well, if an infidel BURNS one and suffers NO CONSEQUENCES then to a Muslim that would be kinda PAINFUL.
I’m not saying they’re right (not at all!) just pointing out why they think (and hence act) the way they do.
I, for one am sick and tired of bending over and taking it up the kiester every time a mooooooslim cries foul! Yet they defile Christian symbols and the site on which 3,000 American’s died with a mosque while we sit around and try to be all politically correct and all… It’s time for some mooooooslim punchin’! That’s what they understand and nothing else!
If I were POTUS I would tell each Moooooslim nation that any further attacks on the US will set off an automatic nuclear response which will super nuke each of their countries and not even I as POTUS can stop it! It’s set up and will go off if we are attacked with bio, nuclear or planes crashing into buildings! And I might even add that we expect cheap oil going forward or that might set off the attack as well…
-Science in bed with politics will be as bad as the dark ages when religion was in bed with politics.
-Science and State need to be as separate and church and state and for mostly the same reasons.
-Their is no more viscous cycle then a bike with no seat.
-Doesn’t every nanny and mother justify their overbearing and controlling nature by saying what would these children do without me?
-Summer of recovery? I need to recover from this summer!
Know I put this up the other day but I am convinced more nad more how important it all is
Other day I mentioned how Rinos were still many many times better then blue dogs. Check out their ACU (American Conservative Union) ratings. Even the worst Rino is 2-3 times better then the most conservative blue dog. I am not a fan of Rinos but this year and every year we should focus on “the most electable conservative.” (ACU rating is far right column) Pick your battles.
http://www.conservative.org/ratings/ratingsarchive/2009/2009%20Combined%20Ratings.html#VT
Example lifetime ACU ratings:
McCain has 81
Ben Nelson of Nebraska 47
Jim Webb of VA 15
Bennet 84
Murkowski 70
Heath Schuler of N Carolina 37
Snowe 48
Collins 50
Pelosi 2
B Lincoln from Arkansas 19
I still would rather have a muslim neighbor then a marxist neighbor.
Muslims are less then 1% of the population of America. Conservatives need to start worrying about the real threat to America.
BTW read up on George Soros

We’ve been electing Marxists/Stalinists for years! They are called Democrats and are churned out of Colleges across the country by the thousands every year!
Shiggz, I have had one muslim neighbor in my lifetime. He was the worst. neighbor. ever. He got the idea we didn’t like him, so he pounded on the shared wall in our row of townhouses at all hours of the day and night and there was nothing we could do about it, except sell the place and move. Of course, I’ve never had a marxist neighbor, so I can’t make the comparison. But, based on your statement, they must really, really suck. I couldn’t imagine what a muslim marxist would be like.
What would happend if every New Yorker that opposed the GZM were to walk up to the site and toss in a hot dog? It’s not threatening and, other than maybe an anti-litter tort, isn’t illegal. Would they still build there with all that processed pork essence?
The whole koran burning thing seems abit redneck, but I understand. They can burn the Bible, American flag and Constitution, kill thousands of us and buiild a victory mosque nearly on site,, and stone women to death for passing gas improperly, and that’s suppossed to be okay. Touch their holy book and it’s a capital offence. The muslums didn’t complain this much about our military excursions into their terratories. Maybe after 911 W and Cheney should have appeared on national TV with a koran and a lighter. Like a liberal, muslums can dish it out but they sure can’t take it.
I hope this was said tongue-in-cheek, Frank.
I think the next step for CNN would be to runJjimmy Swaggart against the Olberman time slot. More comedy, less drool, and and would make more sense. Maybe. And raise money for CNN, too.
Parker-Spitzer would fit right in with Jimmy Swaggart. All this would need is Bill Clinton and Algore as guests.
Frank, don’t give Hollywood any ideas. They have aklready made a movie of “Clue’.
Even the giant killer bunnies have contempt for Obama.
The left doesn’t want Shariah law its a red herring and the right falls for every piece of bait they dangle out in front of you like a bacon smelling dog. It has done what it needed which is take attention off them and let them call you racists for a few months.
-Men can get all fired up for outdoor fights with strangers but they have no stomach for domestic squabbling. Its why Republicans desperately need women to take over the mantle as a counterbalance.
-How the right should have handled it was saying something like. Muslims-Shariah awesome lets do it and San Francisco can start. They wouldn’t have shutup about it but they would have instantly switched sides. They are emotional-impulsive-stupid-filled with hate for you and blind sympathy for everyone else. Don’t exactly have to be SunTzu to know how to fight that.
-Have you ever watched a middle aged couple of a blustery man and a manipulative woman argue? That is a perfect microcosm of anything and everything to expect in the past, present, and future in the culture war.
-Allying with the right politically feels like joining up with the British.. Lets where red coats and stand in straight lines that’s gentlemen rules you see. The winner shall have their way and the loser shall graciously relent.

Slim, I’d like you to meet None.
“Illinois: The Peoples Republic of Chicago.”
“What offends me most is the expectation of violence from Korans being burnt.”
Yeah, still kinda trying to figure out where this misguided “religion of peace” rumor got started. Must have been picked up from some internet message board or spam email.

America must never forget!
Frank, yer freakin’ me out again. I had a conversation 2 days ago, which, if you transcribed my side of it, is almost exactly what you have in this article. In dang near the same order.
The barbaric element among the 1.5 billion Muslims of the world are a small minority, maybe only 100 million to 500 million, tops. If they can’t act civil, they will get first us and then the other 1 billion Muslims angry at them.
Do they really want both us and 1 billion angry Muslims fighting them?
Godwin Alert: It would be like Hitler invading Russia after making a pact with Stalin – just crazy foolish! See what happened to Hitler? Do the Muslims want that sort of thing to happen to them?
The tolerance needed in this situation is tolerance by the Muslims. If they want to act in an uncivil manner, we can beat them at that game by about 1000 nukes, and still have enough left over to play deterrence with China and Russia and France.
Sometimes I truly wish government would adopt this policy. I mean, if Congress had a big bonfire and burned the money, at least we’d be able to see where it went.
As far as the movie Battleship goes, I’m not so interested in Battleship as I am the other ideas that didn’t make it. Battleship is getting $200M. What movie ideas did the producers pass over in coming up with such an obvious winner? Scrabble? Four Across? Sorry!? Headache? Twister? War (the card version)? Don’t Break the Ice? Kick the Can?
(Note, you can play this same mental exercise with any new reality show, such as the gang of midgets who rescues dogs show. If that was their best idea, what other concepts did they pass over in getting there?)
Wellllll, since tic-tac-toe had already been done…

“Remember when rabbits attempted a violent coup against Jimmy Carter? I wonder how things would be different now if they succeeded.”
The rabbit might be the national symbol instead of the Bald Eagle.
What animal is most likely to go after obuma? My vote goes to squirrels – they like nuts.
Let’s issue a call to arms on the Koran burning business and go Kaiser Sosey (sic) on them. Call on each and every church in america to burn 100 Holy Bibles for each Koran the Dovetards burn on 911. Thereby showing the Mulsim’s who’s religion is so badass we can lose 100x50gagillion to one Holy Scriptures to your weaka** excuse for a religion, and stick it in the Dovetard’s eye at the same time. Also freeing up space in our houses of worship while retaining at least 50 Bibles for each church member across the nation. KJV of course would be exempt since they are the Real Word of God.
I always thought irritating the rest of the world with our freedom of speech and free market economy was the grandest of all schemes.
