   If you believe that sacred human life begins when egg and sperm embrace, you must admit that your belief stems from a religious premise. That’s your teaching/belief about your god’s wishes.

   Please feel entirely free to worship as you please.

   Do NOT feel free to legislate our nation into compliance with your religious beliefs. We have American law, not sharia religious law.

   Charlie’s simplistic views are neither medical, Christian, logical nor charitable. Women in this country are not responsible unless they are pregnant, and then only if they are pregnant with American babies.

   A mother of 3 should die and orphan those 3 if she’s bleeding and in pain and #4 will kill her. OK with Charlie and Scott.

   Ahem. Yeah, new governors in those two states. But did anyone notice that the dems sent TWO more congressional reps to washington? Two southern states got repub governors. Democrats got two more congressional seats.

   As long as the American people simply crave the dollar as the only measurement of value or wealth, we will continue to give banks power over us.

   I’m reminded of this when people like HQ comment about their taxes going up a whole $100/year; how unacceptable that is. They pretend it’s about principles, but it’s money. They don’t want their money going for a larger good than them.

   So it is with their $100/year. So it is with that tax incentives for polluters, with their $1billion/year. So it is with the bank strategists, with their $1trillion/year.

   And people who should be regulating this nonsense get dollars from the banking industry…

   When ACTUAL conservative financial principles are rewarded, when the nation’s good can be assigned a dollar value, when natural resources are figured in as having value as they are, then we might get somewhere.

   Rush himself has said that watching a football game is like watching a gang war between the bloods and the crips, but without weapons. “There, I said it” he boasted.

   No, Rush is not a racist! All those who call the KKK racist are anti racist racist bashers who feel like racists make racist comments, boo hoo!

   Rush’s words ARE his deeds. He forgets that he’s actually been recorded saying the things he says, cuz he’s on, you know, radio.

   Hey, righties. Personal responsibility belongs to people like Rush, too. It just cracks me up that you scream about liberals making the world a worse place because people like Rush don’t just get to wave their wet cigars at us, make money from rubes like you, becoming drug addicts while they scream that POOR addicts should rot in jail. They laugh at you and me, go into liberal-funded rehab clinics while they sob at how unfair life is to them, etc.

   I actually think the toon is accurate. Dittoheads know it. The chickens sometimes come home to roost, even for rich, white folk like El Rushbo.

   Yeah, not drawn well.

   But I wonder why righties hate having a president who thinks. I swear, they want stupid, vapid, uninformed, self-ambitious people to represent them. This habit of our president to think or read or plan seems to upset them.

   They want action! GWB only had to go down 17 flights of stairs to Cheney’s bunker, have Cheney perform the secret “nut check” ritual, then run back upstairs and announce a war or two.

   Sorry y’all are so intimidated and resentful of current events. Didja know that just this morning it’s announced that Karzai accepted the results of the recount and will participate in a runoff? A possible power sharing govt w/Abdullah? Why would President Obama decide the course of this war without knowing what Karzai intended to do?

   Of COURSE you would do better, righties! Of course you would. Ask Michael Steele, S Palin, M Bachmann, DeMint, or any other sensible rightie you know. I bet they’d have a heck of a lot of ideas, huh?

   No. They don’t. You don’t. All you do is sneer. Grab a mop or get out of the room.

   Well, for Anandy, et al, if Glenn McCoy and Fox BOTH share a point of view, that makes two unimpeachable sources; it must be true!

   If Glenn Beck actually cries on air, it’s even more true.

   OLD - tarbaby? It’s a voodoo doll. You slipped.

   What a crock of bleeep this cartoon is! As if it’s thoughts that get you in trouble. Bok must not be thinking.

   Corrected toon:

   Before a federal hate crimes law: “Die, bleeep scum!” as the victim is doused with gasoline and set afire.

   After a federal hate crimes law: “Hate bleeep scum if you want to, but no longer will you be shielded from the law just by saying you only robbed him and you accidentally found him on fire.”

   Amazing how the protection of victims is considered thought police. Bok, please do a cartoon on the Republican obstruction to anti-rape protection for victims of sexual abuse who are employees of DoD contractors.

   Protection for them thru the judicial system is - what? - a crime against rapists? Those who think about rape/murder are not in trouble, fool.

   Actually, I’ll second charlie’s toast. May the GOP continue to do exactly what they are doing!

   Signed, a liberal.

   Go Sarah Go! Keep talking Ms. Bachmann! Keep screaming, Mr. Beck! I’d like to hear more of Liz Cheney’s debating points on foreign policy! And John McCain needs to be on the sunday morning talk shows more. I want them all on record as much as possible in preparation for 2010 and 2012!

   Can’t wait.

    church, ahem. You constantly command people to produce evidence that is already abundantly available on the internet.

    Actually, I will amend my statement. Some parts of the world are vast and undeveloped. They are thus because it is commercially disadvantageous to develop them. The Sahara dunes, the mesas of Patagonia, vast lava lands, etc. So I will amend my assertion to read 99.99999999% of the land we give a sh*t about.

    There, I feel better.

    I’m not insulting you when I call you (actually, others much more than you) a judger, a hater and a simpleton. I would be insulting them if I called them, oh I don’t know, demoncrats, godless necropheliacs, mindless minions, gramma killers, etc.

    I will stop saying “idiots” after noting idiotic rightie ideology based on absolutely nothing but hate. But if it’s hate that is posted, I will call you a hater. If you judge others without looking at yourself, I will call you a judger. If you constantly assert the simplistic proposition that you speak truth and others are blind, without regard to the contents of the posts, I will call you a simpleton.

    You don’t like it, preacher? Come up with better words. Boy, I bet when you call somone a name, you just assume you are honest, forthright and believe in calling a spade a spade, right? Yawn.
