You're either an idiot or simply not listening if you think they can't explain it. You might not agree with their conclusions, but they have explanations. Has to do with the rights of the mother--the woman doesn't stop having rights because of the presence of another living thing. 2) Go ahead and prove to me that a fetus is a living human being. Go ahead. You can talk all you want about DNA and what it will eventually become, but that's not conclusive to many people that a collection of cells is a 'human being', and thus deserving of rights. Can YOU explain why the rights of a fetus automatically mean that a 12 year old raped girl has to carry her father's baby to term?

Sharpton asks people to stay on topic a lot, does he? Fascinating. Well Ricky, I have to take another break, longer than the desperately long 7 minutes from before that you freaked out about. I hope you'll be okay in the meantime. I do want to thank you for continuing to prove just how much better people conservatives are. Namecalling, lying, trolling, racism. You've done a good job of expressing yourself, Ricky, and it's been entertaining to watch. Keep up the good work, we'll all keep laughing at you.

Good, Ricky. The first step is acceptance. The problem is that I still don't consider the sort of position he held to be a 'leader' in the KKK, no more than a Corporal is one of the 'leaders' of the Army. You, on the other hand, would love to paint him as incredibly involved in the organization, even though he was done after a year, and publically condemned his own membership for the last several decades of his life. But that's you, Ricky. A liar and self-confessed troll.

Must be a lot of experts walking around. Come on Ricky, you're still resorting to random, stale attacks. Your troll grade is dropping through the floor, son. Thu, 8 Jul 2010 19:06:35 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85561087 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/06/can%e2%80%99t-trust-sullivan-on-past-so-why-present#IDComment85560847 Sure thing, Ricky. That 'Exalted Cyclops' position amounts to hanging out with four or five rednecks in a barn drinking beer. If you consider that a 'leadership' position in the clan, as I said elsewhere when you posted this off topic in another area, then Corporals must be the leadership of the army. Way to go, Ricky. Bending facts the way only one of the idiot conservatives can (as opposed to intelligent conservatives, of which there are many...just not Ricky the liar).

Wow Ricky, you're desperate to make me look bad, aren't you? Thu, 8 Jul 2010 19:02:36 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/06/can%e2%80%99t-trust-sullivan-on-past-so-why-present#IDComment85560585 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85560460 Ricky, how does my ridicule of your nonsensical post amount to playing any card at all? Maybe I'm playing the 'logic card'. :) lol Thu, 8 Jul 2010 19:01:34 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85560460 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85560247 So you're saying that someone who joins an organization and drops out after a year is a 'leader', huh? Oh yeah, I forgot. You probably also think Palin is a 'leader', and she quit too. No, I don't consider the positions Byrd held to be 'leadership'. The 'Exalted Cyclops' amounts to having four or five 'good old boy' republicans hanging around with you. If you want to say he was a 'leader' in the organization, then I suppose Corporals are the 'leaders' of the military. Get your facts straight, son. Oh, wait, you're a liar. You won't care even if you have them straight. Thu, 8 Jul 2010 18:59:54 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85560247 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85556450 "Do you have any evidence it's not happening?" By the way, I have to say that this is an awesome display of ineptitude here. A known liar (Ricky) suggests that something bad is happening. When asked for proof, he gives us his only proof: we don't have evidence that it's NOT happening! Ricky, aliens are taking over the NHL! Proof? Do you have any proof that it's NOT happening?! lol Thu, 8 Jul 2010 18:32:03 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85556450 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85556094 See, now...I have to admit, you are staying on topic at this point. That's the first step. The problem the rest of us have with your comment now, though, is that we now know you're a liar. Where is your evidence that McCain was born in a US territory? Have you seen his birth certificate? Where is your evidence that the Obama admin hadn't read the AZ bill? You have proven here that you make things up to suit yourself. You are a liar, and we have no reason to believe what you write without proof. Thu, 8 Jul 2010 18:29:03 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85556094 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/06/can%e2%80%99t-trust-sullivan-on-past-so-why-present#IDComment85554733 And yet another lie. Byrd was not a KKK leader. And, unless you are claiming to know where I live and what I do with my flag, a double-lie post. Ricky...seriously man. Do you actually want everyone reading your comments to think 'oh, the liar' immediately on seeing your name? Thu, 8 Jul 2010 18:18:20 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/06/can%e2%80%99t-trust-sullivan-on-past-so-why-present#IDComment85554733 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/06/can%e2%80%99t-trust-sullivan-on-past-so-why-present#IDComment85554516 Again with the lying, Ricky. If you want to lie, at least try to do it well. The problem here, of course, is that my actual words are right up there for everyone to see. So you trying to put words in my mouth is failing, not only spectacularly, but hilareously. Not to mention the old fall back for little minds, namecalling (once again). Ricky, Ricky. When I started to read your stuff, I had such high hopes for you as a troll. But you don't have the skills. Lying just is not going to cut it. Particularly not really bad, really pathetic lying. Thu, 8 Jul 2010 18:16:42 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/06/can%e2%80%99t-trust-sullivan-on-past-so-why-present#IDComment85554516 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85553992 Wait wait, yet another topic! Al Sharpton! Of course...it's such a natural connection. I show you to be an idiot on the issue of gay rights, you change the topic to try to appear less of an idiot, I point out that you've changed the topic, and I am somehow, magically, Al Sharpton. You are just falling apart now, boy. Come on, hold it together, Ricky! Thu, 8 Jul 2010 18:12:43 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85553992 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85553715 His aunts claim he was born in Kenya? An 86 year old woman replies to a reporter's loaded question by saying she's proud of her grandson, and that's your evidence? You don't take as evidence, for example, the certificate of live birth that was made public? Why were people questioning his birth in the first place? Oh yeah, because he's black. Why weren't people questioning McCain's birth, at all? Oh yeah. because he's white. I do agree, though, that inconsistency breeds concern. That's why we're all so concerned for you, Ricky. Intervention time: Ricky...the lying has to stop.

I was at a relative's house, so I decided to watch it with him. The best part came when Bill brought on Russell Simmons for an attack. At one point, Bill is slamming rap lyrics because of their effects on children. Simmons asks "So you're concerned about young black children?" Bill says, with a straight face, "Yes. Yes I am." Simmons, deadpan: "Oh...okay." Hilareous. :) Thu, 8 Jul 2010 17:59:44 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/06/can%e2%80%99t-trust-sullivan-on-past-so-why-present#IDComment85552066 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85550311 It doesn't include decision-making rights. For that, there has to be a swamp of power of attorney paperwork to wade through to even have a chance ot it happening.

Can't find something to say in reply to what I actually wrote? What's the matter, Ricky? Is this all too much for your lying racist little brain? You've already proven yourself today (Sullivan letter comments) to be both a racist and a liar, are you a quitter now too? Come on, Ricky. Give us another reason why the civil rights of gays should be limited. Hold off for the moment on tangents about people from Chicago coming here and magically obtaining benefits they can't get in Illinois, and stick with the program. If you're going to be a troll, you have to have some conviction. Thu, 8 Jul 2010 17:50:16 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85550099 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/06/can%e2%80%99t-trust-sullivan-on-past-so-why-present#IDComment85549428 Wow Ricky. If I'd actually said that, you'd be making some sense. The way trolling is supposed to work, son, is that you're supposed to take things people actually write, and go from there. You, for instance, in questioning Obama's citizenship (while of course not questioning white man McCain's citizenship) have clearly shown your racist colors. You have also, by attributing to me things I have not said (such as anyone not voting for Obama being a racist), shown yourself to be a liar. And not even a very good one, given that my statement which you are lying about is right above your lie, for all to see.

Are you even reading? Thu, 8 Jul 2010 17:42:04 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85549021 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85546899 Oh, sick of it. Right. I'll take that under advisement. Because you just missed it, I will say again that I agree that gay people are *just like* straight people. They can be good people, they can be bad people. They can be victims, they can victimize. But none of that justifies taking away civil rights. If racist liars, like you, were having your civil rights taken away, I would fight for them as well. That's what it means to understand the constitution. Even if you don't like racist liars like you, Ricky, intelligent people understand threats to civil rights. Have a nice day :) Thu, 8 Jul 2010 17:26:49 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2010/07/05/listen-to-will-of-all-not-7-on-the-court#IDComment85546899
