		<description>[...] In the new Republican era, only fetuses , tax shelters, and ‘traditional’ marriage deserve protection. According to the actions of the current Republican party, the rest of us need to be wiretapped, monitored, have our homes inspected for whatever reason without warrants, and are incapable of making decisions on our own.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You’re worried about some right you’ve never had, and will never have, unless you were to win the War on Christmas and banish me entirely. Good luck fighting that fight, assholes, your own children will rip you apart before you succeed. No one can ever defeat Santa!&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;So Rome, does your wife agree with your point of view on this court ruling?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

and

&lt;blockquote&gt;Hey, Rome I was just curious. I remember you bringing up your wife a lot in past posts.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Really scs? That&#039;s funny, because I don&#039;t have a wife, I have a HUSBAND though. And yes, he does agree with my point of view. He even agreed so far as saying that if the woman in this case allowed the police in to search the man&#039;s property, the cocaine she expected them to find could have been planted by her. I agree.

Please only take this as constructive criticism and not as an insult (I don&#039;t mean it as an insult, really) but you need to spend less time acting like you know something (like that I talk a lot about my wife) and open your mind to learning scs, accepting different ideas with gray areas included. It will make you a better person.</description>

		<description>Point taken, Tim.  I had skipped that thread.

No offense.  No particular reason, just time management.</description>

		<description>Okay, the one-day honeymoon is over.

When will BJ address the Rahman case?  The endless torrent of bullshit about the prospects of stable liberal democracy in places like Afghanistan and Iraq is put to the lie by this shocking case.

For how long will the bone-smoking apologists on the right continue to claim that &quot;freedom&quot; is on the march in Islam thanks to the messianic policies of the NeNutjob government in Washington, DC?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Steve Says: 


&quot;that the Republicans support state security strongly over individual rights is not new&quot;

There is one major party that has historically stuck up for your right to own a gun in case the government’s jackbooted thugs show up to invade your rights in the name of “state security,” and that party sure wasn’t the Democrats!

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yep, and just in case my daughter is ever raped and requires an abortion, I plan to have my weapons ready when the state comes and tries to arrest her.</description>
