I have that exact same reaction when I think about going to a church service. Seriously. Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

And that Andrew Jackson was a dick, too. The thought of him and his cronies running this country still infuses me with a pure and undiluted hatred, and makes me consider throwing up things that I don't even remember having eaten.

jackson was an asshole--thankfully the democrat party moved beyond that. the gop, on the other hand, is lamely trying to moderate itself by reaching back to the center, i.e. tricky dick and billy graham, the slick elmer gantry and prototype for the religious right. sadly, (for us) they've already dragged the country so far to the right of those clowns that we are almost completely fucked. obama may be able to right the ship. it may take awhile--bush really fucked it up.... GOBAMA

Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan after him were RACIST PRICKS. They were masterminds of the Southern Strategy, to instill fear into White America about the dangers of BLACKS. These two men were the fathers of the new Republican Party, an their RACIST children, the likes of LIMBAUGH, HANNITY, ORIELLY, GINGRICH are what we have to deal with today. Anti-Semites Jew hating Bastards, that is the legacy of the New Republican Party....Honest Abe must be turning over in his grave......

For fuck sake, celery. Can't you come up with anything else but racist prick and racist fuck? I mean day after day . . . It gets old.

You made it clear that you are a racist from your frequent use of the word "nigger" until you finally got the message to stop using it after you were called on the carpet so much for it. But you continue to prove you are a racist with your projection.

In classical psychology projection is always seen as a defense mechanism which occurs when a person's own unacceptable or threatening feelings are repressed and then attributed to someone else.[1]

I wouldn't know.

YOU DID IT! You got it out!

"Who would be a poor man, a begger man, a thief"

Nixon was the first Great Divider. The fact that he sat to the left of McCarthy during the hearings should have been a clue, but then all Americans were shaking over Communists, so Nixons stance was applauded more than rejected. The majority isn't always right. In America, you should be free to be a communist if you like without losing your job or reputation. That's the American ideal, not the American reality. Nixon tore the country apart, and it never fully healed.

I saw JT in Jacksonville FL in 1980 or so. Ian Anderson was twirling his flute like a baton and lost control of it. It went flying into the audience. A stagehand immediately brought him a new one and others were in the crowd looking for the flute. As far as I could tell, they never found it. I wonder if the person who caught it still has it?

93 in Tampa for me.

Hitchens is pushing his agenda against the GOP, but everything in the article could be said of the opposite side as well. At best, he proves that the office of the president and congress is full of people who care nothing for Americans. In the time period of Nixon, Democrats were pushing and standing firm in the South on Jim Crow attitude. Reports of JFK's behavior in white house makes Clinton look like a choir boy. Hitchens wants to believe that religion is an evil force in causing suffering, but the greatest suffering was not caused by religion but those trying to rid religion from their societies. Look to China, Soviet Union and Germany. I think he gets one thing right; Our political leaders make me want to throw up with the way they stomp on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Only that is what Hitchens is promoting because he can't stand that those documents are based on natural law.

but tricky dick and billy graham were avowed racist pigs--it's on tape. and they are "librul" compared to your fucking party today..

Hitchens must be on the bottle--again.

good point smurphy--you've settled it once and for all...

The same Hitchens who finds fault with Mother Theresa?? How can such an "honest" intellect be ignored?

My favorite quote from this poor man about the good nun:

"She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction. And she was a friend to the worst of the rich, taking misappropriated money from the atrocious Duvalier family in Haiti (whose rule she praised in return) and from Charles Keating of the Lincoln Savings and Loan. Where did that money, and all the other donations, go? The primitive hospice in Calcutta was as run down when she died as it always had beenshe preferred California clinics when she got sick herselfand her order always refused to publish any audit. But we have her own claim that she opened 500 convents in more than a hundred countries, all bearing the name of her own order. Excuse me, but this is modesty and humility?"

you loved him when he wanted your stupid fucking WAR

"GOATMAN"....You ignorant Bastard, I am of African Blood my friend, when I use the term (NIGGER) in the past it was to describe, how you Racist Bastards, use it to describe Black People.

Hey Goatman, did you check out Pedernales Falls yet? Great, great place.

"The same Hitchens who finds fault with Mother Theresa?? How can such an "honest" intellect be ignored?"

Why? Was she without a fault? Was she some kind of fucking saint? She was probably just as Hitchens said, an old fraud.

Nullfidian, have you washed off dying people in the Calcutta slums so that they could have a dignified death? Just asking.
And yes, I mean almost yes. She IS a saint, not was.

This Was is the best Tull album.

In the documentary film of the Woodstock Festival, portions of the songs "Beggar's Farm" and "Serenade to a Cuckoo" may be heard on the PA system, indicating the level of notice the album achieved in the United States.

Stand Up, appropriately, is the next best.

Nation/states, organized religions, corporations, etc., are all nothing more than cover for crimes that would get any single member of any populace a death sentence anywhere on earth.

of course then the beginning of the end: Benefit.

about 7 years ago i tried to sneak onto a university JT show, didn't work. but, sheesh, when i was in high school we played:
My Sunday Feeling
Cat's Squirrel
A New Day Yesterday
Living In the Past
and lastly... Locomotive Breath

very jazzy stuff back then considering the long improvisational jams of Hendrix, Cream, and the Allman Bros.

then i went to Berklee... where we didn't talk about rock or blues-rock anymore. i was jazz and quickly fusion.

TOWN...
can you backup anything you wrote or is it all just your opinion?

i'm sorry to disappoint but washing off ppl in the slums of Calcutta and Hitchens' assertions are not mutually exclusive.

she could be and have done both what he asserts AND served humanity.

of course there may be some moral dilemma there, but actions are "actions", separate things perhaps, on this worldly plane.

you figure it out.

when I use the term (NIGGER) in the past it was to describe, how you Racist Bastards, use it to describe Black People.

Bottom line, celery -- you use the word to desciibe black people. I don't. There's not much else to say when it comes to who is the racist here.

Nixon's been dead for years. But today's Democratic Party is populated with the likes of Celisary, Nullifidian, Danni, Redneckville, Moder8--and tens of millions of small-minded libdouches.

I give this era of libtards' supermajority . . . um . . . call it 4 years, tops. They are collectively too stupid and too hateful to keep it for long.

Nothing wrong with "living in the NOW". Unless by doing so, you run up another few trillion in bills that will be paid off in the future.

Live for today! Obama wants to zip another trillion to Wall Street! Pony up, boys!

And just how was bush's 60 billion a month illegal war to be paid for?

And just how was bush's 60 billion a month illegal war to be paid for?

Chump-change my friend. At least I saw some of the money trickle down to the tiny company I work for... How much stimulus has passed through your hands?

60 billion a month for over 6 years is chump change?

So, an illegal war is ok as long as your company gets a cut?

None yet - but this is only my second day of unemployment.

$60 billion a month?

Do your math again. I know it's hard . . .

Total long-term costs costs of Bush's illegal war and occupation have been estimated at $3 trillion. Calculating costs per month is not hard but pointless. How many months? What's it going to cost in June 2034, 2044, 2054 to care for our troops damaged by losing limbs, suffering TBI and PTSD and exposure to depleted uranium by this costly war of choice? What's it going to cost to replace all the equipment totalled by conditions in Iraq?

This article "The Iraq War Will Cost Us $3 Trillion, and Much More" gives some good estimates about cost and how these squandered trillions could have been better used closer to home.

he can't stand that those documents are based on natural law.

#34 | Posted by TownL7 at 2009-06-29 11:41 PM

What you're trying to say is that you have absolutely no clue what your talking about. Natural law theory demands the existence of a higher order of ethics...usually from God. Hitchins may be a lot of things, but a believer in divine authority he is not.

To return to the subject of the thread.

The GOP in 1968 made a cold-blooded decision to use a racist Southern Strategy to win elections. They won election after election using that strategy supplemented by pandering to those, particularly on the religious right, with bugs up their ass about abortion, homosexuality, immigration and American exceptionalism.

Their attitude was why change a winning strategy even if it's indefensible ethically. The Palin rallies, FOX and the radio ranters showed they were still at it last November. Their problem is it no longer works and demographic trends ensure that it will become even less successful.

Another "gift" from Nixon that keeps on giving.

This is funny actually...

GOP members are as much ALL racists, homophobes, and evangelical fanatics as the DNC is ALL indoctrinated hippies, fags, and atheists. The headline alone is prejudice and does nothing but feed the angst and hate of those who already posses it - it's intended to tally one up on the board for the good guys and insight anger in the opposition.

So, do you feel better about yourself now? Is your ego full?

ALL groups have a history of showing off their self-serving biases. That was my point w/ the "chump change" remark. (sarcastically) What's money at this point?
The argument of "lets ignore real issues 'cause Bush did it first" doesn't justify much in the way of a retort.

The "At least I saw some of the money trickle down to the tiny company I work for... How much stimulus has passed through your hands?" I'm only asking what good these stimulus packages have done. Note the "At least"... meaning although the war cost money, it was perhaps better for our nation's people than the "stimulus" has been. Maybe not, but...

Woodrow Wilson and FDR both make me puke up things I didn't know I had eaten. These leftists shits have made it possible for Lord Zero to become a Hugo Chavez.

That they are racist pricks?

Their attitude was why change a winning strategy even if it's indefensible ethically. The Obama rallies, MSNBC and the radio ranters showed they were still at it last November. Given the demographic changes their strategy of categorizing people by their race and income will further divide the country and will create another generation of those that will rely on the government for their financial existence.

Yes, Hitchens is right about Mother Teresa. He would have made a great devils advocate. MT has a saintly reputation, but not saintly actions. You base your idea's merely on reputation, not on what she actually said and did.

Did she take money from the atrocious Duvalier family in Haiti? Did she appose their rule? How much money did she take from dirtbags? Where did that money go? How much money was spent in the hospice? Why did she get treated in fancy California clinics, while the people she took care of stayed in the run down hospice?

Why did her order always refuse to publish an audit, what did she have to hide?

Fate, and the declassification process, have decreed that we will be supplied with ever-more nauseating reminders of this at intervals of about a year until everybody who can remember the one-time hero of "moderate Republicanism" and the silent majority of middle America has gone to a place where not even Billy Graham can bother them anymore.

Ahh yes the famous of the famous. Bush and (I am not a crook) Nixon are two sides of the same coin and have given us the gift that keeps on giving.

The true history of my administration will be written 50 years from now, and you and I will not be around to see it.
