Just doing a little rabble-rousing cuz I'm stuck in the house...

Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime,
unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an
illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.

The United States should get out of the United
Nations, and our highest national priority is
enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.

Government should relax regulation of Big Business and
Big Money but crack down on individuals who use
marijuana to relieve the pain of illness.

"Standing Tall for America" means firing your workers
and moving their jobs to India.

A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own
body, but multi-national corporations can make
decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals
and Hillary Clinton.

What conservatives say that being drug addict is a moral failing? Though technically it is a crime in that you use illegal substances.

THat seems to be what Bush believes but just like Jesse Jackson doesnt embody the opinion of every liberal the same can be said of Bush.
Medicinal maryj should by all means be allowed.

People should haves abortions and I'm sure most respectable conservatives would agree.

I too can agree with a few of your points Suzy. I too have no problem with marijuana being legal. As far as conservative talk show hosts and drugs, I have no problem with prosecuting, but then there are a lot of democrats in the entertainment industry that would seem to have to be very wary.

I do think we should remove ourselves from the UN, but it would not surprise me if a lot of democrats think the same way.

I do believe that women can be trusted with decisions about their own bodies, but abortion affects a life other than their own (and please, can we just agree to disagree about when life begins for the sake of this post at least).

And finally, Jesus does love you, homosexuals and Hillary Clinton. He just has a problem with some of their actions. Smile

heh heh, how little you know, Husker! Maybe I am on drugs! Okay, I'm not; just being obnoxious!
Brandon, it's just satire. It may be a bit exagerated here and there! I plucked it off some other forum. Don't know who wrote it.
ElDiablo, when I'm even more bored than I am now, I'll see if I can find some sourced quotes. I think Rush has said it, for one.

As a former conservative republican, I feel more than qualified to respond to suzy's ponderings.

I did believe that drug addicts were that way by their own choice and that, if they really wanted to, the could stop being addicted. I have come to realize, that this could not be further from the truth. People are born with addictive personalities. As for Rush Limbaugh, I can understand and sympathize with his situation. It's his (as well as his enablers) hypocracy that angers and frustrates me.

The United States is a part of the world community. It's not only stupid but dangerous to alienate us against the world as GW Bush has done so handily.

Republicans are all for big business. I used to believe they stood up for the little guy by giving tax breaks. Yeah, right. Rolling Eyes

Republicans don't, as a rule give a damn about the average Joe worker. They tell Americans, if you aren't earning enough money or if your job isn't satisfactory, then you aren't trying hard enough. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and stop making excuses.[/b]

It's a whole lot easier to tell women what to do then white guys in Brooks Brothers suits. Money talks bullshit walks.

That's the mantra of fundamentalist Christian Republicans. Those words used to come out of my mouth, I'm ashamed to say. Crying or Very sad

Abortions
Barbera Bush should have had at least four of them or at least had her tubes tied as soon as she could have children.

To be fair dys, most of us love to go to Walmart and buy comfy slippers for 5 bucks, appliances that are outrageously cheap, 27" TV's for 200 bucks, get great deals on clothing...the list goes on and on. As consumers, we encourage the deportation of American jobs when we buy that 'good deal' merchandise.

pistoff...Barb only needed to have three abortions. Dorothy is a-okay.

re Walmart
My comment seen above was about the abject poverty of content BUY AMERICAN but the profit is in imported goods.
Frankly I don't care one way or another what Walmart sells but don't give me the crap of BUY AMERICAN while selling me imported $5 slippers.
Honesty is somewhat lacking is it not?

To spare a really long quote here, would refer everybody to the thread on this subject in the Politics forum where the evidence, IMHO of course, would dispute Bush banning medical marijuana. He does favor putting this matter into the hands of the states.

Re abortions, true. GWB is opposed to them and I don't think he has ever changed his position on that. He is adamently opposed to partial birth abortion, but I have never heard him suggest that Roe v Wade be overturned. I think Republicans in general are sharply divided on this issue with the majority being pro life but not wanting the government to require them to be.
