Bush Won. Iraq is Free. Get over it dirtbag.

Your not worthy to like a Soldiers boots. A FReeper friend of mine's son lost his friend in Iraq the other day.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Don't you liberals have anything better to do with your time? Perhaps you should consider doing something radical like getting a job.

What a pantload.

If you only had a brain....

[missanne]

Zot! here kitty, kitty, kitty

[retrokitten]

Didn't read past the storm troopers comment, that nullifies any point the author is trying to make.

I agree!!! I am getting so sick and tired of these leftist idiots calling people "Nazis" any time they can't make their arguement.

Do they have any clue what they are saying??? Have they picked up a book or even watch the History Channel for five freakin minutes??

[darkwing104]

You assume that conservatives want total power. Then you are wrong. Your "Cult of personality" drivel doesn't work here but it is the favorite device of liberals, socialists and communists. If you haven't figured it out Conservatives have no need for total. We just want to get rid of the Governmental burdens that the leftists force on us. Besides that...your side still lost.

Do you like kitties?

since happiness is the perfect good
Jesus said when the Parisees called him "Good Teacher"-"Why do you call me good? Don't you know that no-one is good except G-d?"
If no-one but G-d is good then no good can come from man without Him.

National Socialist German Worker's Party. NSDAP.

Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei

[Timocrat]

You get an F plus for this paper. The plus is for spelling Summa Theologia correctly and your own name but as for the rest, as Winston Churchill once complained of a pudding "it has no theme"

Dmitry Chernikov is a graduate student in philosophy at Kent State University.

Dmitry Chernikov is a self-important pompous a$$.

[Lazamataz]

I think that it has been well established that "conservatives" or whatever it is they call themselves these days (e.g., storm troopers) in matters concerning politics value little more than the state's power in which they imagine themselves to participate and the supposed glory that war and domestic national securitism brings to them.

We will continue to oppress you.

Down at our jackboots, slave.

You know, one of the rules of writing a persuasive piece is to avoid insulting your readers in the FIRST SENTENCE !!!

I doubt he was writing for a conservative audience, so he probably expected a knowing chuckle from his ultra-liberal readers. But referring to “storm troopers”! I always thought it was the liberal socialist democrats who want to give government ultimate power over the citizen.

You know using block quotes like that will lower your grade, right?

There is active and strong debate against the Patriot Act here, the Bush Admin's continuation of certain Executive Orders, the Fema expansion, National ID cards, RFID technology, Homeland Security checks at airports, E911 in cell phones, No Child Left Behind federal requirements, a huge number of 4th amendment issues in federal courts, among hundreds of other topics.

Using a big quote from Thomas Aquinas now that you actually sat down and read the full treastise instead of the undergrad excerpts, doesn't make your opinion worth squat yet.

[mollynme]

Can you say, would you like to supersize that?

Which is why he is in graduate school. Putting off the inevitable while coasting along on Daddy's money.

[dfwright]

Hey Dmitry, doesn't your name translate to zotted-troll in Russian?

Actually, Chernikov is very similar to Cherenkov, ie Cherenkov Radiation. Looks like a setup for a good light show...

[freebilly]

As for glory, it is rightfully given to those who overcome the trials given to them in life, not to those who exalt themselves at other people's expense

Exactly, so stay the f*** off this site that Jim Robinson pays for.

In any event, as a barista at Starbuck's I bet you've lots of time to cogitate on this crap you posted here....

[conservonator]

If it's not too late, see if you can get your money back, your "education" didn't take.
