Lol, that Harriet Miers fiasco was rather brutal
Nice subject change, BTW. You sure moved the goal posts with that one, going from your earlier moral equivalence of a violent cult to Christians.
I am not going to post anything new about Kerik at this point. Why should I? You should not rely on my posts or links as the only sources, you should do your own digging and searching. There is plenty out there.
Feel free to quote me where I agreed with him. I think the comparison insulting as well.
I just thought you had a funny way of sticking up for Christianity.
Guiliani hasn't won the nomination, yet. Now, is the time to speak out and discuss his views, so that we don't have to hold our nose and vote for him in '08 just to keep Hillary, Obama or whatever Democrat nominee from winning.
Apparently, you are tired of seeing Guiliani's non-conservative views discussed since you call this an 'anti-Rudy' screed, but the discussion and exchange of information being made here is very important. Most of us would like to make an informed choice when we vote instead of just voting for the popular guy cuz all the cool kids are voting for him.
"Thanks for the second breakfast spam."
"This from someone spamming four nonsensical and non-topical replies into the thread."
LOL. They're getting scared, dirtboy, and it's really starting to show.
The Rudy boosters seem to think that if Rudy wins, the Dems won't bring Kerik up. Repeatedly and with gusto.
Hey, not all muslim extremists are in to bloodshed, and not all Christian extremists blow up abortion clinics.
You're focused on physical violence and international politics, that's not my point.
No. I was talking about the threats that if we didn't stick with the party line, we were voting for Hilary.
Your post is soooooooo double-digits....
Apparently, you haven't gotten the point.
Some Christians do evil in spite of what Jesus and the Word of God say.
Some Muslims do evil BECAUSE of what Allah and the Koran say.
Get the difference now?
Funny how you couldn't be bothered to say that until I prodded it out of you. That kind of crap is an insult to good Christians everywhere - the stuff I see from liberals comparing Christian fundamentalists to Nazis. Nonsense that stands in complete ignorance of Islamists.
Harrietgate was nothing compared to the bloodletting over Terry Schiavo, which itself was a placid oasis compared to Hurricane Elian Gonzalez. And how could we forget the recent Evolution purges.
We eat our own.
(Excerpts from a 1999 Salon Article by John Leonard)
In October 1993, candidate Rudy opposed letting Louis Farrakhan speak at Yankee Stadium. In March 1995, a wall of cops surrounded City Hall, with horses, scooters, nightsticks, riot gear, barricades and Mace, to keep 20,000 high school and college students from marching on Wall Street. That June, Rudy kicked Yasir Arafat out of Lincoln Center. The following May, he would use armored cars against homeless squatters.
When cabbies last spring objected to a new set of onerous regulations, they were met with ridicule by Rudy, an accusation by his police commissioner that a proposed convoy of protesters constituted a "terrorist threat" (wonderfully coded, since many cabbies are Middle Eastern), a deployment of livery drivers as scabs and an army of cops with tow trucks who closed the East River bridges to any taxi without a fare, forcing angry drivers to walk from Queens and Brooklyn to Manhattan. "They know we broke their strike -- destroyed it really," Rudy boasted.
In September, the city refused a permit to Khallid Abdul Muhammad for his Million Youth March, suggesting that he agitate instead on Randall's Island. And when Muhammad won won his right in court to gather on Malcolm X Boulevard, the cops closed all the subway stations and cross streets so nobody could join in along the route. In December, demonstrators seeking to observe World AIDS Day and mourn the 77,000 New Yorkers who've died of the disease were likewise denied a permit to rally in City Hall Park. Then, when 150 of them showed up, they had to pass through motorcycle cops and metal detectors before they arrived at a parking lot surrounded by a brand-new eight-foot chain-link penitentiary fence and looked down upon by sharpshooters.
Meanwhile, our Rudy, who began by threatening to abolish the Department of Consumer Affairs and the Civil Rights Division, to sell off public hospitals and East River bridges, to cancel the city's contract with Legal Aid; (snip) ....won't even talk to the black community ("They're going to have to learn to discipline themselves in the way they speak"); who has declared Holy War on squeegee men ("drug-addicted psychopaths").
He has abolished remedial classes at City University. He's cut every social service for the poor, from medical assistance to foster care to food stamps to heating for the elderly, and slashed the budget for parks and recreation, hospital workers and after-school sports and enrichment programs ....forced single-mother welfare recipients onto "workfare" even if they can't find child care, ordained that the disabled show up in downtown municipal offices to prove that they are indeed disabled, abolished the methadone program and unleashed a gleeful police force to do whatever it chooses in the Mussolini meantime, from invading mosques to no-knock wrong-address raids on black and Latino homes.
How mean is Rudy? So mean, to wrench a Molly Ivins quote from context, "He wouldn't spit in your ear if your brains were on fire." Which is why the municipal unions are so scared of him that leaders of District 37 -- the city's largest municipal union, representing everybody from social workers to crossing guards -- fraudulently rigged a 1996 vote to ratify a wage freeze contract.
Let me know when you get your degree.
"Both Rino Rudy and Hitlary are so alike in their views that if both are nominated I will go third party..."
During a brain-fart late one evening, I posted that I would vote for Rudy to keep the HildaBeast out.
For the record, I hereby retract that statement and will vote third party. Go Duncan Hunter 2008!!!!
I think that's well put Sonic.
I'm just looking for the part of the Bible where Jesus hates gays and uses his following to get religiously-inspired laws passed in the Roman Empire. Can you help me find that?
