quote: Bullshit. The republicans knew exactly what they were doing when they got conservative Christians in a lather about gay marriage in all of the swing states. Oh, and just so you know? I've ALWAYS been a "morals/values voter". So have all of my Liberal friends.

quote: Is yours the kind of bigotry Jesus would have? But seriously, if the worldwide Muslim conspiracy to take over the world was trying to infiltrate the United States Presidency, do you really think they would choose a black guy with a muslim-sounding name? The truth is they already have infiltrated the US presidency, and they were really stealthy about it. They chose an elite wealthy frat boy from a famous political family from Texas. There sure are a lot more Muslim extremists now compared to when Dubbya took office, aren't there? He got rid of the only secular leader in the middle east, didn't he? Their plans are unfolding nicely, thanks to their guy on the inside.

quote: Why would you never vote for Obama, considering how horrible the Republican party is these days? AbE: I mean, today's viable Democratic presidential candidates are really Nixon and Goldwater-style Republicans. I don't really get why a Republican voter who is nostalgic for the Republicans of yesteryear and who is disgusted by what the GoP has become wouldn't vote for a Democrat. The only true Liberals in the race are Gravel and Kucinich, really, but the country has shifted so far to the right in recent decades that their moderate Liberalism is considered laughably extreme these days. Compared to just a little while ago, and also compared to the rest of the world, they are anything but radical. Edited by nator, : No reason given.

quote: Yeah! How could a mediocre student, former coke-snorting alcoholic fratboy, failed businessman and governor from a state where the governor has almost no power suddenly rise up to be a leading contender for president only after he converted to a radical sect of a major religion that thinks that Armageddon is near and he thinks that God tells him to wage war? It's very, very fishy if you ask me. Edited by nator, : No reason given. Edited by nator, : No reason given.

quote: Yes, there is no perfect way to objectively apply "informed consent". Big effing deal. In many cases it's too clear to bother arguing (except for you, apparently). Can a one day old infant consent? (Prediction: Silent H will not ever give a straight answer to this question)
quote: First, what's "the other"? Second, to approximately 100% of the people in the world, consent is good, lack of (proper) consent is bad, and the point is so obvious it needn't be argued. If you want to argue this point, I'm bored already. Edited by nator, : No reason given. Edited by nator, : No reason given.

quote: So, does that mean that the definition of "miscegenation" has been mischaracterized, and the people who "disagree" with mixed race marriage aren't really bigots? What you apparently have a really difficult time with, Juggs, is the idea that just because a particular idea, concept, or act undertaken by consenting adults isn't right for you doesn't mean it isn't right for somebody else. We know you get icked out by gays (well, probably only the gay men). We know your religion condemns homosexuality and homosexuals. That's fine. Live your life being icked out and condemn people if you like. Just leave everyone else alone, including legally. Your personal feelings, including the religious ones, only apply to you.

quote: I am specifically referring to the ability to give informed consent to sexual intercourse for the purpose of discussion. Can a five year old child give informed consent to sexual intercourse?

quote: ROTFLMAO!!! OK, now I know you are a closeted homo. Maybe, Juggs, if you weren't so obsessed with homosexual sex, you wouldn't have noticed the "signal". Why is it that the only people who seem to be able to pick up on all of these subtle gay signals are the homophobic conservative men?

quote: So, if a woman had been coming on to you, would you have just taken it as a slightly-tacky compliment? Would you have wanted to be congratulated for not freaking out, or treating her like a scourge? Would you have thought to have a converstaion with her about adultery or fornication? Somehow, I don't think so. Why should the fact that it was a man supposedly coming on to you make your reaction any different? It was the "ick factor" and your religious bigotry and nothing else.

quote: George Bush (R), Bill Clinton (D), George Bush Sr (R), Ronald Reagan (R), Jimmy Carter (D), Gerald Ford (R), Richard Nixon (R), Lyndon Johnson (D), John Kennedy (D), Dwight Eisenhower (R), Harry Truman (D), etc ...except that the last real Democrat in that list was Carter, and the last true liberal was Kennedy. All of them since Kennedy have been moderate to conservative Republicans, reagardless of their official party affiliation. The only true liberals in the race right now are Kucinich and Gravel, but even they are moderates. The conservative middle of the country is fearful, and that's why it has embraced Right-Wing Authoritarianism. The northeast, the west coast, and the big metropolitan areas (you know, the places that are actually likely to be hit by a terrorist attack, not Buttfuck Corners, Idaho) are still a lot more liberal than the rest of the country, and even more liberal than most of the Democratic candidates.
