I agree with Ibram. Yesman065 is a poopy head.

Now we can examine the assumption that life is somehow sacred! Is it? I think it's a good idea to treat it that way. But who can know if it's true? Nobody I know. (Here I go again, breaking my personal rule about posting in the Politics/Current Events/Philosophy forums.) |

My previous comment was based solely on what ph45 said in what I quoted. Sorry if I'm more out of it than I thought. Last edited by Perry Winkle; 01-26-2007 at 05:30 PM. |

Yesman is right but I'm almost positive Ibram said that as a joke.
Both Republicans and Democrats push their agenda on others, it just depends on what side you face that determines which side will be pushing you. Though, as unbias as possible, I have to say the Republicans are a bit more pushy than the Democrats right now. But to tell you the truth, the guy who is seeing through all the DC bullshit politics right now is a Republican, presenting Chuck Hagel. |

Not in a hard-line party system there isn't. You run with the pack or you get left in the dust. You can "feel" like there is more to it, but what actually counts is: what they do with your vote when they get in power.

The good thing about living where you do is that you don't have to get involved in the political process if you don't want to. Lucky you!

It wasn't exactly a joke, but a usually-accurate dig at republicans. That's simply the way the party works. Gay marriage bans, abortion bans, flag-burning bans... everything set on legislating morality is a republican push. There may be more to it than that, but socially speaking, the republicans are solely interested in legislating their own versions of morality.
