Well lets see, mine has a illustrated snake and yours would have a real person. I can totally see how those are the same.
(For those to slow to catch it, I was being sarcastic in that second sentience.)
Or you know you could respond to the body of the essay and state problems you have with arguments made within in it.
I do not fear God, I fear the ignorance of man.

Actually, yours would be a symbol like the British would have been fond of, during our fight for independence. While technically not treason, as we were still just colonists at the time, and not yet a true nation , the sentiment is undeniable
You're basically anti-freedom, and pro-tyranny.
At least be proud enough in your convictions to admit that much.

The hypocrisy of liberals is amazing.
This.
Is.
Why.
You.
Fail.
2012 cannot get here fast enough.

If I were anti-freedom, and pro-tyranny I would admit it. I'm not. The fact that you can't understand that is why you can't learn anything.

LMAO
Problem is, we got your ideology zeroed.

Oh, yes you zeroed right in on it. My Zeus, you guys are so good that is why you don't actually have to debate anyone. Why would you? Obviously anyone who disagrees with you hates the U.S. of A. Obviously if they challenge your views their views are known and must be anti-freedom, communist loving, and anti-American.

As from the other thread, the TP would have some credibility if, for example, Ron Paul were to endorse the politicos who call themselves tea-baggers, or endorse their policies. The fact that he doesn't indicates how far the tea-baggers have moved away from the original concept. Right now it's inhabited by people who are greedy, power-hungry, or have some serious emotional issues. That makes them as a group unlikely to learn much of anything.

If it is not, then my concern is less about what people believe, and more about the kind of slice of life crap that gets written as "news" these days. What the hell, journalists?
Well, yes, it's meant to be real, but it's creative non-fiction, not journalism. It's not meant to be on par with "Dow Jones drops 500 points;" it's closer to the fluff they put towards the end of a one hour news story ("now that we've shown you how shitty and terrifying the world is, here's a funny clip of a squirrel everybody's already seen on YouTube"). This one in particular is meant to spark a conversation; in general, Salon seems to be more about analyzing and discussing than news-making.
I didn't think this one was that bad, but you're free to disagree of course. Just wanted to make sure you were criticizing for the right reasons. (Which is, I think, a point similar to the one you made in this thread: http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=4&t=48288.)
All that said, if you could write an interesting story incorporating your bug bite, someone might pay you for it. It won't be front page of the Wall Street Journal, though.

Huh?
You honestly can't see the possibility that decent people may vote democrat? You didn't understand the crux of the article, which is about how much or little do we - CAN we - tolerate political difference in our children?
Is it just you or has the debate in the US really gotten this bad?

People should actually read it.

Agreed. It's a personal article where she reflects on her life and her family. Why the weeping for humanity?
If someone could explain what is supposedly so outrageous about her view? Does Wulf or Rap actually have children. For evoluntions sake, I'm hoping not.
