And neither is the case..? A tadpole is not a frog. It is a tadpole and a potential frog. And a fetus is not a human being. It is a fetus and a potential person.

Yeah, as always, saying “I am not racist” actually makes it the OPPOSITE of true.

It’s a neat idea, though, and I’d love to see people making an effort to bring “banned” books back into their schools.
The only issue with this article that I have is how much contempt the writer has for anyone who actually wanted to believe it was true (because if it was, that would be kinda cool, right)

Nice one, Texas!
“A federal judge on Tuesday struck down key provision of Texas’ new law requiring a doctor to perform a sonogram before an abortion, ruling that the measure violates the free speech rights of both doctors and patients.

aremay asked: Hey STFUConservatives - we've got a problem brewing here in Britain around abortion. The government is changing the rules around counselling for abortions so that 'independent' bodies have to provide that counselling - effectively, pro-life organisations. The main group driving this, RightToKnow, haven't disclosed their funders or indeed much about themselves. I've posted...
pennylane27 asked: My mom went to visit my aunt this weekend. She actually said 'even the educated blacks don't like Obama.' Just. I mean. Does she have an educated black person club or something where she goes? She finished it off with a classic 'I'm not racist, just sayin.' Raaaaaage.

Well, I’d go with, “The government found out that Camels spit and cause cancer, and you’re welcome to buy a shovel and dig back to Israel at any time. That’s the American way.”

geromytime asked: I agree with you on the 'hate is hate' thing. It's like when (SOME, most definitely 100% not ALL) gay activists shout about how "ALL HOMOPHOBES DESERVE TO DIE." It's like... You're saying to them the same thing you're trying to get them to stop saying to you. Do you not see how that's counter productive? You're still just as hateful as them.

The Tea Party and that other Tea Party
(A morning funny from mooselane)
“At first, I was little irked by the Tea Party’s complete co-opting of a piece of American history, when a group of colonists dressed as Indians and destroyed tea that was being taxed by the British government without their representation.
“But then I realized just how racist, colonialist (that tea wasn’t grown in England, after all), and...

joetheblogger:
A liberal believes that a good government can, will, and should take better care of them than a good corporation.
and it’s one of those disagreements where one side is not necessarily more correct. However I just feel there are more government entities, however flawed, that have my best interests at heart than private ones.

Whoa, this shit is perfect:
The weather might be the subject people care most about on a daily basis. There is a very successful private TV channel dedicated to it, 24 hours a day, as well as any number of phone and PC apps. Americans need not be forced to turn over part of their earnings to support weather reporting.
This right here is the key to the conservative thought process....
