Bernie, Boy George and Dick just had 500,000 people killed for no reason. Hello.

Sadly true and dead on accurate. Not a very good state we are in.

To the point of the hypocrisy, it’s obviously true. It seems that today more than ever, people think nothing of excusing their own for the very same things that they attack their perceived enemies for. Terri’s comparison to the Catholic priest scandals really hit the nail on the head.

But sadly, this issue goes beyond the abandonment of objectivity, and suggests a crisis of humanity.

For example, it seems like the deaths of people in places like Iraq or Afghanistan are just arguing points to those who insist we should pull out. These same folks don’t even care what happens to those people after we’re gone. It’s ok if they suffer and die, because it’s W’s fault. Out of sight, out of mind.

But I’m afraid that where the rape of a minor is concerned, we’re dealing with something even deeper. I don’t think that Whoopi’s comments are strictly political. (although I don’t deny that she might attack others for the same thing.) She did suggest that she believes a 13 year old can give consent, and even more disturbingly, that in this case, the 13 year old essentially gave it. At least, that’s the way it seemed to me.

We got problems, people.

Loaded Question – a question that carries an assumption, and is worded in such a way so that the respondent who answers the question directly admits to accepting that assumption.
But I’m game.
1. Outraged.
2. No.
3.Conservatives are against government intrusion no matter who calls for it.
4.Probably not.
5.Beats me.
6.Simply because they are liberal.
7. Yes and Yes.
8. Depends on who they are talking to.
9. They’d be screaming.
10.They’d cry foul!
11.No. No. Hatfields and McCoys.

I like the bigger point here is that can any of us take off our lable and just look at an issue anymore? I hope more people can.

I like your observations.

Tim you are right, no pun intended. The media and editorialist have hijacked the real news. Now all we get are people saying things that don’t make sense to your foot, and they can fill a stadium with people that are scared of some perceived bugaboo that has no basis other than they were mccarthyed into acting on their own short comings. Excuse me, I must leave now, I see the mushroom clouds a formin’

With the power comes a lot of sex – it seems to be true in all societies – from a Shaikh having hundreds of sons – to a President being serviced on the job – to a Dictator getting “gifts” from his enablers – to a teacher messing around with a kid.
It is the freedom of speech that can put a check on those perverts. Media has the ability to put a check on people in power – only if it is a free media.
Clinton, Berluskoni, Polanski – they were hold accountable by the media /at least from part of the media/ – it does not happen in Russia or Middle East or other shady places in the world.
It is OK to have liberal media. If suddenly we only have conservative media – it would have meant we have a freedom of speech problem.
Whoopi is free to say – it is not a rape rape – thankfully you are free to say a rape is a rape and put a check on her crazy idea.
People are smart enough to decide what idea serves them best. If people think they like the liberals – they totally deserve to be ruled by one
We – the conservatives should stop whining and start working on how to communicate our ideas better. Meanwhile we have to make sure we put a check on the liberal spin

Good questions. Being of a mature age I remember when the distance between a conservative and republican was a short walk. Now their diifferences appear to be the distance between Manhattan and Malibu. Somewhere we lost the will to support what is right and replaced it with bias party support. Perhaps this is a direct result of a media that lost it’s integrity.

Bernie you are right on the money as usual. The hypocrisy and arrogance of the left is staggering! What if it was a Catholic priest instead of Roman Polanski who drugged and raped a 13 year old girl – do you think the same Hollywood liberals would be signing a petition to drop the charges? The pro-abortion left says we can’t tell a woman what she can and can’t do with her body, but they want the govenment to be able tell us what health insurance we can or cannot have – and if we don’t comply they want to fine us or throw us in jail! It’s unconstitutional what this current administration is trying to do – we need to take legal action as a nation.
