This band are all heroes, because of the authentic due and support they give the most heroic of all...

Now, before we write another law, let us have a little talk with JESUS, let us tell him all about our troubles... If God doesn't want a thing, our government must forbid it. Taliban L4S has SPOKEN, thank you Jesus. Are we not a constitutional theocracy?

This is an arrogant, condescending judge, administering his opinions, rather than the law. Sun, 19 Jun 2011 15:09:18 +0000 http://biggovernment.com/dapaterno/2011/06/19/judges-gone-wild-texas-style/#IDComment164295842 http://biggovernment.com/dapaterno/2011/06/19/judges-gone-wild-texas-style/#IDComment164295541 JUDGES GONE WILD! And that is an actual, factual reading of this miscarriage of justice. I'm a non-spanker, which matters not one whit. I hope other non-spankers will realize this article isn't about the merits of spanking. It's about a judge gone wild over a (relatively) harmless form of discipline that he PERSONALLY doesn't endorse. Guess what, judge? It's not about your personal opinions! Even if you don't believe spanking is a great thing, take the core of the article for what it is. No legislature has a moral right to pass no-spanking laws (and I understand that they, in this case, did not), and judges sure as HELL don't have a right to try to legislate any such law from the bench. Very good article and well-written, to boot. lokobos's comment about appealing this dastardly ruling is right on target. If I had big money, I would be all over the place, supporting victims of these judges gone wild.

Abortion is not a sin. It's an unrecognized crime that needs the recognition it once had. As for the "ACT of homosexuality," that is none of your or Preacher Jones's business, as long as both individuals have reached their majority. By equating homosexuality and abortion, you show that you DON'T understand the Constitution, which is all about protecting rights, not depriving people of the right to freely associate. It doesn't matter what your allegedly-divinely-inspired Bible says about homosexuals. We are not a theocracy. You'd make an excellent elder (or whatever an Islamic poobah is called) in the Taliban.

The pictures are most instructive. And when any one of us says Obama is a Socialist or a Communist, our own people call us down, saying that the rhetoric is incendiary. Not incendiary enough, in my book. These folks are truly disgusting. I really liked the picture of the "healthy" woman with a 16-ounce soft drink wedged in her hip pocket.

Well, I've discovered some irregularities of my own. You've heard of the canned product called Chicken of the Sea? I don't think it's chicken. They've sold millions of units of the stuff, and, apparently, they have accomplices in the government. Investigation proceeding forthwith. Excuse me while I adjust my hat, you know which one... There's something damned fishy about this so-called chicken.

My only regret is that we couldn't kill him repeatedly and brutally.

What? No surveillance video of the truck? You know, I'll bet McVeigh is still alive to this day, on that deserted island with Elvis, living the good life. It's amazing how these top-level government officials just move from one conspiracy to another, innit? What a load of bs. The only strangeness was the way Clinton tried to use that horrible crime to justify bringing back the "Fairness Doctrine."

There are many differences between federal justice and the brand of justice meted out by the states. Perhaps this is one of them. I tell you this: It wouldn't matter if Jesus Christ hovered over the world and said, in a booming I-Am-God-So-You'd-Better-Listen voice, "McVeigh is guilty, and there IS NO BACKSTORY," people would still go off on this conspiracy tangent.

If it helps your feelings, the people who are gonna bring him down are all former Weiner enthusiasts themselves.

Sat, 11 Jun 2011 19:38:50 +0000 http://tv.breitbart.com/herman-cain-homosexuality-is-a-sin-and-a-choice/#IDComment161780794 http://tv.breitbart.com/herman-cain-homosexuality-is-a-sin-and-a-choice/#IDComment161780303 This is an insane comment, even for the likes of you, L4S. If Herman Cain gets the GOP nomination (not that he could, after this piece of idiocy), Obama would mop the floor with him and hand him his ass. You fools who want to make a statement instead of wanting to win the right to run the government never cease to amaze.

The Weiner has his tractors and his detractors (I fall in the latter column). They guy tried and failed to get firm with his staff. It's time for the Weiner to pull out early, to prevent future complications. I'm glad "Pelosi the Inadvertently Pellucid" didn't tell him to get a grip on himself. Weiner said that, if he goes to trial, he won't ask for a change of venue, preferring instead to stick it out in NY City. He might offer the PeeWee Herman defense, which basically said, "Hey, this is about the most normal thing I've ever done, and I'm in trouble for it????"

Word is, he was at a restaurant with a companion last night -- and realized when it was time to pay, that he'd left his wallet at home. His friend was heard to say, "Oh, jeez, not another unfunded mandate!"
