   Loss of individual rights, due process, etc, and the evolution into a

   Lying about a blowjob caused zero deaths, lying about a war caused   
   thousand of innocent civilian iraqi deaths as well as 100's of   
   soldiers deaths as well as billions of dollars in debt. Lying about a   
   blowjob hurt nothing but clintons marriage and maybe the dignity of   
   the presidency.

   Celebrities talking about policy has zero impact. They have zero   
   political power, except a mass audience of free thinking individuals   
   who will agree or won't. They can't veto a bill, or push ignorant   
   legislation. Do you see the difference or are you that stupid of a   
   conservative to even compare apples to oranges?

   >-You believe all conservatives are racist, but do not think minorities   
   >can ever succeed without Affirmative Action.   
   Well, this one is a toss up. I don't believe all coservatives are   
   racist, I dislike conservatives, I think affirmative action should be   
   applied less generoulsy as minorities gain more financial power and   
   freedom. I don't think that it should be a permanent thing and it   
   probably won't be.

   Nope the patriot missile is worse because it is a weapon that instanly   
   kills.

   >-You believe Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Il, and Yasser Arafat were

   Nope, just believe that bush was not fairly elected, don't really care   
   about the rest.

   >-You root for prisoners when they escape from our oppressive prisons,

   >schools.   
   Nope, I think our failing schools should be given more federal funds   
   and christian organizations should get zero, and that includes private   
   christian schools.

   >-You support every kind of "diversity" on campus, except political   
   >orientation.   
   This I am in total agreement, free speech is free speech, if a crazy   
   conservative fascist wants to express their views on a campus they   
   shoud be able to do so.   
   >   
   >-You support banning the smoking of tobacco and legalizing marijuana.   
   I don't support the banning of tobacco, I think it is ignorant, and I   
   do support the legalization of marijuana, or at least the   
   decriminalization.

   >have stood idly by while Saddam Hussein filled mass graves.   
   I believe the US should be held to a higher standard and not stoop to   
   any sort of mistreatment of anybody, including their enemies and   
   prisoners in our own prisons.

   Keep and bear arms? What about the right to revolution?

   I think I agree with this one, sexual harassment sensitivity on   
   campuses is overboard big time.

   Just look what the idiot did to his own state, no matter what the

   No both are equally dangerous, just different kinds of danger posed by   
   each.

   >-When it comes to violent crime, you believe in hating the crime but   
   >loving the criminal.   
   Yes, just like the bible that most ignorant conservatives claim to   
   believe in, I believe this. Hate the crime, punish the criminal by   
   taking their freedom and not abusing them psychologically or   
   physically, and depending on the crime, teach them how to integrate   
   back into society. Come on conservatives, remember your own christian   
   teachings about forgiveness and quit being hypocrites. I am an atheist   
   and still believe in forgiveness of your enemies, even conservatives   
   if they change their ways.

   A social financial net is a good thing, a decent living wage for   
   workers is also a good thing. The hording of most of the nations   
   wealth by a few aristocrats is a bad thing. Corporate profit driving   
   politics is the worst thing of all.
