Thanks for proving my point ;^)

Read the entire thing, dearie.

It's their reason for being...

[uglybiker]

So he admits it's wrong and does it again? Double not cool.

You have a link to that post? I'm still looking for it.

Do de term RINO ring a bell wit' you?

[Keyes For President]

What I find laughable is the fact they (registered, KFP, EV, rdf, rowdee, etc...the people who are posting AFer type material at LP, and also trashing John rob when he posts there) outted themsleves as to the ease of their ability to be decieved.

RedBloodedAmerican has accused me of posting "AFer type" material at LP. I deny this lie. He also accused me of trashing you when you post there. As you know, this is also a lie.

It's liars like RedBloodedAmerican who have had a negative impact on Free Republic.

oldvike reposted it on this thread on post #537.

I'm not going to post a link to the thread over at LP simply because that would be doing the equivalent here of what Registered did.

Read the entire thing, dearie.

Look, your inability to admit error doesn't interest me, dearie. I'm not going to hang around and play "let's pretend" with you. Your errors were clear, I pointed them out, end of story. Have a pleasant evening.

You'll notice Satadru didn't include a link to the article in question, and instead took an excerpt out of context. Here's another excerpt which will expose why he/she didn't post a link for you:

Bush's policy barred the use of federal grants for research on stem cells taken from embryos after Aug. 9, 2001. Bush said the decision was based on his moral opposition to destroying additional embryos for research purposes.

But that restriction does not apply to research on stem cells obtained from fetuses, according to officials at the National Institutes of Health. Such work falls under less-restrictive Clinton-era rules, which Bush never revised...

...White House officials said Bush left the Clinton guidelines for fetal-derived cells in place because Congress passed a law in 1993 that made it illegal for presidents to ban funding for such research.

You da bomb!

Thanks for that excerpt and the link.

[uglybiker]

I was going by your post #562: "So he admits it's wrong and does it again? Double not cool."

You're saying he repeated the act that got him a 'time out' form FR?

What am I missing?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Then let me help you. It does seem that Keyesters have this problem with reading comprehension. I guess that makes sense, else they would wake up to Keyes and flee.

Here we go. I said earlier in this thread:

And what a laugher it was to have him banned over a link from their leaders website (Keyes - "Strike The root")

And you say I am saying "Strike The Root is Keyes' website"

Okay, now lets go through this, shall we? Ready? The "link from" refers to "Strike The Root". "Their leaders..." refers to Keyes and his followers. It is NOT saying STR is Keyes' website..

If an article on FR was posted that was from, say, LibertyPost, would that be saying LibertyPost is Jim Robs site? No.

Do you see in the blockquote above wherre I said

"....over a link from their leaders website (Keyes - "Strike The root")

Now would you please explain to me and others reading this how you comprehend that I have said this "Strike The root" is Keyes website? I said it is a "link from" Keyes' website.

Does this help? Are you still having trouble with this one?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Oops. See above. Darn.

[Republican Wildcat]

dirtboy, I basically agree with your sentiments. However, posts like #578 make it rather difficult to achieve the goals of civility you have outlined.

[Satadru]

You are only propping up stupid comments like this one from the article:

White House officials said Bush left the Clinton guidelines for fetal-derived cells in place because Congress passed a law in 1993 that made it illegal for presidents to ban funding for such research.

No such laws exist.

[Satadru]

No such laws exist. The White House has been lying about that.

[Satadru]

Oh and not just that, he said that the Republicans in the House were trying to balance the budget on the backs of the poor. What a socialist scumbag!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Gosh, you're so right. I wish I too was a "True Conservative" and posted such fine comments as this on FR (from a non-AFer site, I am sure):

11. To: Jolly Rodgers (#7)

You would have to be pretty desparate to stoop to praying for bush.
LOL! As long as you don't stoop to paying for bush.
;-P

Yes you are quite right. It is people like me that are wrong with FR. That is, if the people like you who want to drive FR - and conservatism - into the ground remain. Would you like to re-ping John Rob to this post, or shall I?

And you call *me* a liar? LOL!!!

[Satadru]

No you try reading one more time. Bush has approved using taxpayer's money to do research using stem cells from fetuses obtained from abortion. That is in the first paragraph.

[Republican Wildcat]

I bet they don't. The President can just swoop in and change the ruling of an independent agency? No, he cannot.

I understand you are upset with me for exposing your attempt at dishonesty, but thems the breaks.
