Not black and white mind you, the entire human race.<BR/><BR/>Can you name me one job that he has obtained? Just one? I mean a real honest to God job? The only one I can think of is when he worked in the kitchen of the Palmetto Club in South Carolina. He would later proudly admit to spitting in the soup for all the old white folks to eat. Nice guy. Really classy.<BR/><BR/>You see, like Buckley, I am a racist. I mean, haven't you heard? All white male Republicans are? And why?<BR/><BR/>Because we believe in the very words of Martin Luther King Jr.<BR/><BR/>"I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."<BR/><BR/>Can't you see the laws and regulations that the liberals are putting in place are keeping American Blacks uneducated and poor? And who do the libs blame...mean ol' whitey. Just vote for us and we'll make those rich white folks poorer!<BR/><BR/>Well... but how about making blacks...wealthier and more educated?<BR/><BR/>No my friend, I have to disagree with you. However, I hope you will return to my blog. You are more than welcome to visit and post.EDGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15532832287184133359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154155624621434549.post-59750707635875789632009-02-13T12:57:00.000-05:002009-02-13T12:57:00.000-05:00I saw this film on cable and found it riveting. S...I saw this film on cable and found it riveting. Seems odd that you top off your review with the comment about Jesse Jackson vs. William F. Buckley. Sure.. Buckley was a master thinker, writer, and debater, but he was also a rather thorough racist who used his intellectual gifts to argue the inalienable state's right to deny liberty to those of the black race. In that sense, Jesse Jackson has him beat on the facts no matter how funny he sounds when he speaks. <BR/><BR/>Consider that some who watch "The Lives of Others" and the beautiful human story portrayed within, will see in the portrayal of the oppressive state, certain aspects and elements considerably closer to home than might have occured to you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18419000330907639798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154155624621434549.post-13430106714199138062008-05-02T11:27:00.000-04:002008-05-02T11:27:00.000-04:00Give that waiter a good tip! ;O)Give that waiter a good tip! ;O)EDGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15532832287184133359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154155624621434549.post-83406798457923404082008-04-29T22:05:00.000-04:002008-04-29T22:05:00.000-04:00I know this is an old post, Edge, but I cannot wai...I know this is an old post, Edge, but I cannot wait to rent this.

But, as it were..he's not running.<BR/><BR/>While Huckabee's overall positions are conservative, I just don't feel in my heart of hearts that any conservative principle ought to be compromised. Private property is a huge thing for me. And, it irks me when people can't look at the smoking ban issue (or any other issue for that matter) objectively. You'll always hear people talk about the issue with an I,me,my mentality. "I should be able to not have to be subjected to smoke...blah blah blah." The argument goes the other way too.<BR/><BR/>But the real issue is the right of the private business owner vs. Government regulation and intervention. <BR/><BR/>People fail to realize that while applauding government intervention which is serving in their best interest in this regard, they will at some point come to find themselves on the other side of that gun.Name: Soapboxgodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894163990538183457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154155624621434549.post-44156346458719968782007-10-05T10:38:00.000-04:002007-10-05T10:38:00.000-04:00Well, your approach is certainly well respected. I...Well, your approach is certainly well respected. I like that you exhibit the clarity to tier your priorities and weigh it as such. I may have been a bit hasty in my initial post. Because, as you well know, there's not likely to ever be a candidate that you're going to be 100% behind. <BR/><BR/>Me though...I'm still weighing everything out to see how this thing is going to play out. I would have liked to see Newt get in because I think he would have brought some good things to the debates and would have drawn some of the other guys out of their shells (sort of the way Ron Paul is but not quite so out there).<BR/><BR/>At this point, I'm not overly inspired by any of them. Most of them have at least something I like but I'm going to be very critical in this next election. <BR/><BR/>And, despite this incessant desire to vote for any GOP candidate in an effort to "beat the beast", I am willing to go through the hell that would likely ensue were Hillary elected, if that is what is needed to regrow the cause of conservatism. I'm done with RINO's and the whole "going to get along mentality."<BR/><BR/>p.s. thanks for the comments on 1938 ReduxName: Soapboxgodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894163990538183457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154155624621434549.post-14192529170487814882007-10-05T09:37:00.000-04:002007-10-05T09:37:00.000-04:00'Sup Soap,Fighting terrorism, securing the border,...'Sup Soap,<BR/><BR/>Fighting terrorism, securing the border, protecting the 2nd Amendment, cutting taxes, and being pro-life are my chief concerns in this election, and so far Huckabee has impressed me on everyone. <BR/><BR/>I agree that a smokiing ban in public areas is not a conservative principle and that such an issue should be left up to the states and not the feds. The only thing the feds should be smoking is terrorists IMO.<BR/><BR/>That being said this issue is just not high on my priority list...and I like to smoke cigars occasionaly...usually not in public areas.<BR/><BR/>If Huck should be elected Prez. and he wants to ban public smoking, I won't support it. Kind of like I didn't support Bush and his lame ass education and amnesty bills.<BR/><BR/>With all due respect Soap, calling Huck unconservative is just preposterous. Rudy and Fred just aren't doing it for me and McCain is a prick. I think Thompson will end up winning and he will get my vote.<BR/><BR/>I'm curious who are you voting for?EDGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15532832287184133359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154155624621434549.post-76064542943116785032007-10-04T14:13:00.000-04:002007-10-04T14:13:00.000-04:00Edge, I got to your page through DD2's page.

While I don't mean to stir the pot too much or question your self proclaimed assertions or your conservatism, the fact that as a conservative you are supporting a "Republican" (read RINO) who would seek to implement a Nationwide Smoking Ban strikes me as odd. Any true blue conservative would cringe at such a notion.Name: Soapboxgodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894163990538183457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154155624621434549.post-14976607112156794512007-10-04T08:18:00.000-04:002007-10-04T08:18:00.000-04:00Hi Nanc,Passion of the Christ was good too!
