Oh, so now you speak for all Conservaitves or Christians??? YOU decide what "good" Conservatives listen too? That's a laugh. Here's a newsflash: We don't walk lockstep.

I didn't see him saying that in his post all. The way you put words in his mouth to make him look stupid and unreasonable is very liberal-esque, to say the least.

power2: Conservatives and Christians are used to being outnumbered.

Bella_Bru response: Oh, so now you speak for all Conservaitves or Christians??? YOU decide what "good" Conservatives listen too? That's a laugh. Here's a newsflash: We don't walk lockstep.

I only speak for myself; my point that Conservatives and Christians are used to being outnumbered is a fact that I think you would generally agree with.

And I didn't make a point of what was "good" or "bad" to listen to, only that to support financially those that are against "conservative" causes (gun rights, pro-life, etc.) is to give aid and resources to those who oppose those same "conservative" causes.

And it's apparent that we don't walk in lockstep. That is what makes FR great, the exchange of opinions/thoughts between conservatives regarding issues. What has pissed me off is the treatment on this thread of those who dared to express opinions against the view of the apparent majority.

James Bond is beating HP this weekend...*sigh*!

We have the books, and during our illness we've been listening to the books on tape.

They're GREAT btw! This British guy reads them, and is doing different voices...wonderful!

[NYCVirago]

Great letter. Joan Jett rules!

[Bella_Bru]

power2 said: Conservatives and Christians are used to being outnumbered.

I took that he or she was saying that Conservatives or Christians don't listen to such things. If you do a few searches, you will find many threads on FR where the "good" conservatives are bashing the "bad" conservatives for "funding Hollyweird".

I hope youbfeel better soon. Got the flu?

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Yes, it is a great letter!

Weird that they wouldn't publish a letter by a celebrity.

45 semi wrote a nice note and put it on her message board, and got a positive response and a welcome from someone there :)

The Mumia thing is cult. I'm convinced. It's definitely cult-like. His followers are zombies!

It's a cross-section of devout Marxists and young, dumb and full of *** kids who think anarchy means being able to do drugs and have sex whenever you want without having a job. Much the same as the Vietnam war protests, the No-Nukes movement, the anti-globalization crowd, the Greens, etc, etc...

Mumia is just a rallying point for the true believers and their useful idiots. The murdered police officer is their conquest.

[power2]

.....I still dig the music, though. But they don't get my money anymore. Same goes for the pro-aborts.

God bless Napster (Kazaa and WinMX, actually)....

We are on the exact same page. Listen if you want, but don't financially support those whose beliefs are opposite of your own.

[I_Love_My_Husband]

I think it's the flu or a head cold.

We've been drinking lemon and honey (yummy) and I bought Odwalla Tangerine juice (the quart size) at Albertson's near where I work on the way home from work on Friday.

Have you tried Tangerine juice?

Yummy :)

I so wanted to clean up this place this weekend while hubby worked (he works from home, and is working on a big project), but then I got sidetracked with this...illness...

Hard to do the dishes, but we're doing better. Poor hubby though is working away on his computer(s). I'm just about ready to get some tangerine juice.

:)

[Bella_Bru]

Same goes for the kids with the Che posters.

Linda Perry...I actually met her several times!!!
You know what? She was nice.

Glad to hear that. She has a great voice, and she is extremely talented. I remember seeing 4 Non-Blondes on Conan O'Brien years ago, and man, Linda looked pretty rough with the tattoos and the leather.

[Wondervixen]

LMAO...GO JOAN!!! PREACH IT GIRL-O!!!

This is so right-on-the-money!!! "Artists" today are so "Plastic Banana" it's just not funny anymore.

[FreedomAvatar]

Alison Krause is about as good as it gets.

Definitely. She is awesome. And so is Union Station.

[Bella_Bru]

The Odwalla tangerine juice is very good, but it gives me heartburn if I drink too much.

[I_Love_My_Husband]

She's not too tall in person, neither is Exene.

I also knew Jello Biafra. He's a complete arsehole. MEAN and a major diva, WORSE than Exene was.

[KneelBeforeZod]

Don't know what planet she is on, but I don't think anyone calls pop tart barbie dolls or one in tight pants and a spiky bracelet someone who "rocks."

Joan Jett doesn't know as much as she thinks. The Donnas????? PUH LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!!!!! The Donnas are a joke band started at Palo Alto High School (six blocks from me) by a music teacher. They got novelty interest and then somehow caught on...whoa! those chicks rock! not quite.

Veruca Salt "rocks" more than Joan Jett ever did...until their lead singer went crazy and started putting out touchy feely music. (she has a good voice though)

Sounds like she is on a LOOK AT ME!!! rant, like we got from Spike Lee and Michael Jackson.

A random general search isn't going to give me any additional insight into what Power2 said. He didn't claim to speak for anyone but himself, while you accused him of trying to speak to all Conservative Christians.

As far as I could tell, he merely voiced an opinion that was different than your own. And you attempted to marginalize him through false characterizations.

If you disagree with him, that's cool, just say so and why. Don't attack him based on what other posters may have said over the course of your time here.

[KneelBeforeZod]

Unless you are looking at a professional "JOURNAL" with NO pictures...ALL MAGAZINES ARE ABOUT SELLING AS MANY COPIES AS POSSIBLE, AND WILL CATER TO THE MASSES. GET A CLUE JOAN "JETT."

[I_Love_My_Husband]

So you're saying that Shakira and Britney rock?!?!

That's what Joan is objecting to.
