I find the reading comprehension of some here seriously lacking so let me help those that are challenged. I did not single out any specific group in my post because my statement applies to ANY special group.

Wow there are so many grate ones listed already. Sorry if some of these are repeats. He Stopped Loving Her Today - George Jones Sing Me Back Home - Merle Haggard Opening Farewell - Bonnie Raitt's version Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper A Change Is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke Your Cheatin' Heart - Hank Williams Love T.K.O. - Teddy Pendergrass My Mom - Chocolate Genius Whiskey Lullaby - Brad Paisley (with Alison Krauss) How Can You Mend a Broken Heart? - Al Green In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning - Frank Sinatra Killing Me Softly With His Song - Roberta Flack

Go back and read the post.

You are mistaken, I never mentioned 'minority groups' in my post.

Alternative History Alert Actually Bush bailed out the banks to the tune of about $250b with the passage of the TARP program in the fall of 2008. Obama owns the rest of the TARP spending and all of the Stimulus spending. By his own numbers the jobs created by those so called "shovel ready projects" have cost us on average $500,000 each. Net net I think you'll have a hard time showing that his administration is cutting spending. no, are you?

spin, spin, spin

Rain, Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown), The Word, I'm Only Sleeping, I Should Have Known Better

It's tough to dance while sitting.

Can you?

No problem I talked about him in the same way when he was alive. I fully support your stance on freedom of speech!

I'll express myself however I like thank you. Feel free to do the same.

Equal rights requires no qualifiers. The laws are to be applied equally to all people PERIOD. Attempting to protect the rights of some special group in some manner differently than you do for others is the very definition of unequal rights.

Your own partisanship is causing you to miss the point entirely. No need to be nice on my account cuz I'm not very nice either.

Mean spirited in what way? Everything I said is absolutely true. Now if your a Kennedy I can see where you might not appreciate hearing the unvarnished truth but that's just too bad. I have had many opportunities over the past 37 years to vote for a Kennedy and they've never earned my vote. That's not trolling that's fact. I didn't realize this board was so tame. Sorry to offend your sensibilities but you really should toughen up. You'd never survive Massachusetts politics.

And that is a particularly idiotic response. It must come from watching too much MSNBC. Do they still broadcast?

Reading it in context who do you think "they" are? The only thing the quotes imply is that I am quoting someone. When asked who used the quote I offered Algore as the example. Seeing as how I wrote it I can categorically state the there was no other "implied" meaning. Anything you fabricate beyond that is simply fiction. Given your penchant for parsing and implying you should be more careful.

Palin quit because of the ludicrous number of frivolous lawsuits being filed against her that were costing the Alaskan taxpayers millions of dollars. Bayh is quitting because it's not going his way. You're right there is no comparison! Palin made a choice based on the best interest of her State and Bayh made a choice based on a lack of intestinal fortitude. imho Then again maybe there is a scandal brewing...

kinda like Bobdole.

It is you who did not read what I wrote. My original post was a response to the question, "when did the trend change from global warming to climate change?" You then decided to spin it into a shit weave of implications and assumptions. Now your behavior may stem from either an over active imagination or a case of paranoid delusions but in either case that's not my problem. If my posts really annoy you please feel free to ignore them. Oh and the debate is not between "those who agree that there is climate change and those who do not" as the climate has been changing since the planet was forme

You are imagining things. Stay on your meds. We're talking about climate change right? Again, you have an over active imagination. Now you are really being foolish. The quote was used to demonstrate the point I was making which was open debate is good and necessary and in this case the "other side" is using age old tactics to stifle opposition. Your poor attempt to make it something else is really pathetic.. I'm familiar enough with the works and doings of Algore to know he is living proof that there's a sucker born every minute. Others can support him if they like, that is their cho

Who determines who is surplus? ANSWER: The guys with the bigger guns. Over 97% of species that ever lived are now extinct. Lower life forms make up the vast majority of the 3%. Now we're supposed to be smarter than anything that ever came before but it's only a matter of when, not if, humans will join that list of extinctions. Let's see dinosaurs ruled the earth for 160 million years so we only need to go about 159.99 million years to catch them. Did the dinosaurs worry about climate change? How many shows did TRex make it to?

Algore has said it and continues to say it every time someone challenges his position. It is a weak minded response used to close off debate. Why is it important that anyone on this board agree with the person(s) who use the phrase? Positioning a theory as a plausible cause is one thing, using fascist tactics to silence competing theories is something else. It is particularly reprehensible in the case of Algore and his ilk at the UN who have a commercial interest in promoting a particular theory. That's commerce not science.

I wonder if the attack dogs will go after Bayh for quitting the same way they went after Palin? I'm not holding my breath.

More precisely it was when they couldn't prove it to be a man made phenomena and turned to religious rhetoric with a dash of Ponzi scheme called cap and trade thrown in for good measure. Every time someone says "the science is settled" alarm bells should go off in your head. Not long ago the greatest minds of the time felt the same way about eugenics.
