Rights, farms, environment ping.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

Hate Crimes legislation is after all Thought Crimes.

See the lyrics to an old German song: "Die Gedanken Sind Frei". I learned of this one through Pete Seger (of all persons).

"I'm offended by bans on things that are offensive. So we should ban banning things that are offensive. Of course, that might offend those who think a ban banning things that are offensive is offensive. So maybe we should ban banning bans of things that are offensive. But then that might offend those who think a ban banning bans of things that are offensive is offensive. Perhaps we should also ban bans of banning bans of things that are offensive... "

LOL. Sounds like you're having a battle of the bans :-)

The "offend no one" creed applies only to non-liberals. Liberals are allowed to offend anyone they like if you dare to say anything about it, you are obviously a racist, homophobic, slave owning, bible thumping, idiot hate-monger, and therefore, you don't count.

>That's what the left wants. A world where nobody has enough principle to stand up and say "Hey, that's wrong!"

Well, us ole timers started doing just that about 45 years ago.

Eyes rolled, shoulders shrugged, and the replying comments were not the least bit tolerant of what their ears were hearing. So, here we are, people. I hate to tell ya, but.........

I remember as a child growing in the 1940's and 1950's in a not particularly religious family that God and religion were interwoven into almost all activities and conversations. Whether discussing the morning, the sky, the meal to be eaten, the future or anything else, the Lord's name was usually mentioned. Like the commercial says, "we've come a long way baby"

'Recently, the Supreme Court decided to hear two cases, both of which deal with the display of the Ten Commandments on public property. It's hoped that in these cases, the court will clear up the confusion over what can or cannot be placed on the walls of public institutions.' [Hegelian dialect at work. Note: nwo is built 'from the bottom up', frog in the cool water routine. Watch; the Ten Commandments will be 'sacrificed' to the already standing 'Noahide Laws'. Old Khazar trick, agreeing on a religion of common ground, as long as that ground is not The Rock the builders rejected. Hope I'm wrong. If I'm not, you will have seen the whites of their eyes.]
1. Christians follow the Noahide laws.
2. Khazar trick??
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!

Hey, I find the 'Noahide Laws' [Talmudic laws also known as the law of the Pharisees], promulgated by two branches of government and about to be approved by the third [ http://www.adelaideinstitute.org/Beauty/talmud.htm . See also http://nord.twu.net/acl/talmudiclaw.html ], marginalize Christians, non-Jews, and non-'Noachides' [Noachides are basically freemasons], by declaring them second-class citizens worthy of punishment [whipping, etc, and decapitation]. Do you think the ADL or the ACLU cares?
The Noahide laws are not Talmudic. They are straight out of the Bible. They are the rules God gave to Noah.

As for "Noahides" they are in no way Masons.
Asking the court to use Jewish is stupid and is something the ADL opposed.

You spend so much time reading the anti-Jewish conspiratorial BS that it has completely warped you.
