"So, tell me, Mr. O'Reilly, would you sacrifice your child to free Fallujah?"
Thats a good question and I would like to ask that same question to George W Bush.

I wouldn't care to watch two blow hearts going at each other either. It is completely senseless and is like arguing on the internet. Its like a saying my son told me, "Arguing on the internet is like winning the special Olympics".

I would have to think that the Republican Party itself would not endorse such tactics.

So this is another way how the Repulicans fix elections:
New Citizens Say GOP Took Away Their Right To Choose
POSTED: 11:31 pm EDT July 5, 2004
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Dario Cruz has lived in the United States for 16 years, but just became a citizen last week as he and about 200 other immigrants were naturalized.
One of the things he had always wanted to was register to vote, but when he was offered the chance to do that right outside the ceremony, he knew something wasn't right -- the place on the form where you're asked to choose Democrat, Republican or independent was already filled out.
"It's like one side," Cruz said. "You don't get to choose."
According to Cruz and his family, every form was checked off Republican.
It was something his wife, Linda Cross, first noticed. She said she asked what was going on, and was told the woman registering voters said they were with a Republican organization.
"I am Republican," she told Channel 4's Jim Piggott. "I was very angry with that if they want to register whatever party, you shouldn't try to dictate to people what party they are going to register; who they are going to vote for, because then you don't have any freedom."
The couple left without registering, but they did tell local Democratic Party officials what happened.
"These new citizens that were coming out and maybe did not know much of what was going on were all registering Republican," Cross said. "Not by choice, but by someone else's choice."
Clyde Collins, who runs the local Democratic Party, says this practice is not right, and as informed federal officials about the incident. They told him an investigation is underway.
"First of all, it violates your fundamental right," Collins said. "You have right to decide which political party you wish to enroll."
Collins says those who were sworn in last week will be contacted and told they have the right to register for the party of their choice.
For Cruz, that is what's important.
"I think you should be able to choose who you want to vote for," he said.
For the record, any registered voter can vote for any candidate of any party in a general election, but in most primaries in Florida, people can only vote for candidates of their own party.
Channel 4 has tried contracting federal officials about this issue since last Friday and have not received a response, nor have local Republican leaders responded.

Shades of the Scarlet Letter
by mustang inon one of the pbs stations last week, i saw a program of those reenactments of life in old colonial settlements.
they were trying to enforce the "laws" or "regulations of the compact" of the "company" that sponsored and funded the colony.
most of these "laws" were religious in nature.

It was a very repressive time but there are a lot of wacko Christian Fundimentalists that would like to turn the clock back to those times.

I recall a few good JW, elders and MS that would get a little too much to drink. I have a MS brother in law that is an alcoholic. I recall at my nieces wedding he and his brothers were all half cut and they are all either MS or elders.

No we have it all wrong, it was a 10 year old report from a 13 year old student's high school paper.

We have discussed this point before but I am sure they have a "standard form letter" article that they use and they just change the key words to suite the situation. i.e. Comics = Radio = TV = Video Games = Internet etc. Just the same regurgitated garbage they keep pushing.
