Civil war looms for Republicans

The Chicago Sun Times ^ | ROBERT NOVAK

[JohnnyZ]

Not War of Northern Aggression?

[Constitution Day]

I only say that when I want to tweak obnoxious Yankees.

[streetpreacher]

I say as John Adams did in the movie "Amistad" about a possible civil war:

"Let it come. And let it be the last great battle in the American Revolution."

Besides, I'm tired of these dull conventions...

[streetpreacher]

2 points: As everybody already has stated, Novak is always looking for a "civil war" in the GOP,and why no mention of all the RAT electioneering that goes on in the black churches.

From the article: "That aspiration sounds comical to me after years of following Democratic candidates into inner-city churches on Sunday mornings to hear them endorsed by black clergymen. This activity never incurs the wrath of Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Instead, Lynn pesters the IRS about conservatives in church as he did in a May 27 letter to the IRS. It claimed Bishop Michael J. Sheridan's pastoral letter of May 1 ''jeopardized the tax-exempt status'' of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Colorado Springs, Colo., by praising politicians opposed to abortion."

I was talking to a Democrat co-worker the other day about the upcoming election. His comment (and he's decided after our discussion to NOT vote for Kerry, but instead look at either Nader or Cobb)

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

[JoeSixPack1]

.... if George W. Bush is defeated for re-election.

Hey Novak, SHUT UP. Just Shut up! You boring puke!

There ya go. Well reasoned responses, at your service. :-)~

"Fruitcake" as in Sandy Hume or Bill "Mr. Susan Molinari" Paxon?

Uh, didn't Sandy sorta kill himself?

[SlickWillard]

Uh, didn't Sandy sorta kill himself?

Yeah, rumor had it that the Clintonites threatened to out him & Mr. Molinari, so ol' Sandy took one for the team - fell on his sword, so to speak.

You get some pretty good hits if you google on it:

[Apparently other versions of the story have Dick Armey playing the role of the Clintonites - nothing like a little historical revisionism, I guess.]

[Osage Orange]

A 13-term congressman.....................

Nobody...and I mean NOBODY...needs to be, nor should be in Washington that long.

I'd vote for a houseplant...if they would make term limits their only misson. (vbg)..

I can dream......can't I?

FWIW-

[Osage Orange]

Much too complicated for liberals maybe even too complicated for conservatives..

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[

I'd edit your sentence above to read....for most liberals...And for some conservatives....

If we are speaking about just our everyday rank and file...libs or conservatives then....it generally appears to me that 70% of the 100% of conservatives that I know...are more informed than 85% of the 100% of liberals that I know.....

FRegards,

What does "Osage" mean?

I remember it from the eighties and the Wilson Goode/MOVE butchery:

[Osage Orange]

I believe it's a mangled interpretation ( by early traders, trappers, etc... ) of what the Osage Indians called themselves...which I think was something like "Wazhazhe"....which most translate to mean "The Children of the Middle Water"...

FRegards,

[The Mayor]

when her heinous was running for senate here in the holy state of new york she spoke at just about every black church there is out there.

8 of us got together and put together Christian voter guides for 60 churches, most of them were afraid to hand them out. It was a voter guide no endorsements of any candidate, just a voting record and where they stood on issues concerning the Church.

The Pastor at my old church made an executive decision and threw them in the trash. Hillary was elected because the Pastors are so afraid of losing their tax exemption they will not say anything from the pulpit.

One of these days the republicans will grow a set and start fighting back, although now it will be one hell of a fight we have lost all to much ground.

I'm ready to fight and have been for years.

[rintense]

he represents old-line Republicans who resent Christian conservatives entering their party in 1980

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!

[rintense]

If just the idea that Republicans are starting to get in the mood to fight back (finally), well, I no longer see that as a negative.

By limiting political speech in churches? That is NOT a Republican. Sounds like a socialist to me.

Word to Republicans: LEAVE THE CONSTITUTION ALONE.

[rintense]

Well in Pennsylvania, church sermons that say homosexuality is wrong are being considered a hate crime- if lawmakers and liberals have their way.

[rintense]

Well if they are going to take away rights guaranteed by the Constitution, you can damn well bet there will be a civil war. The sad thing is, Republicans like Thomas support this. I, as a Republican, do not.

[swampfox98]

It's not negative about the GOP? Did you read it? He's just stating facts: there is a division within the party on certain subjects.

And God help any of us who are conservative, and have issues which are important to air. I believe the Republican Party is looking forward to the day when they think they can get enough illegal voters to commit to the party, then they won't need conservative Christians anymore. We are a shameful part of the party to these people, and always have been.

[F.J. Mitchell]

That's a perfect example of how the left has an agenda to make speaking the truth a crime and outlaw any truth that inteferes with it's scheme.

[SlickWillard]

I believe it's a mangled interpretation ( by early traders, trappers, etc... ) of what the Osage Indians called themselves...which I think was something like "Wazhazhe"....which most translate to mean "The Children of the Middle Water"...

Well, I wonder if Filthydelphia's Osage Avenue is named for Oklahoma's Osage Indians?
