Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Thrive to spite them

Pat Buchanan was on some 24 hrs news network last night spouting off about how this is all the media's fault. I didn't listen to all of it, but basically he was arguing that if the media knew about this for a year they should have done something about this and because they didn't it's all their fault.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cool! So it's all Fox's fault.

(Yes, Fox knew about it for at least a year.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

somebody must have told him was a half-step away from blaming a "vast left-wing conspiracy".

Ehh, Gingrich already did just that. Hastert's just leaving it to the experts.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This is odd for me to read.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

“I’m looking at the data,” said Ron Luce, who organized the meetings and founded Teen Mania, a 20-year-old youth ministry, “and we’ve become post-Christian America, like post-Christian Europe.

Thank God.

Heh. I was thinking more like "not fast enough".

And I was thinking, "Since WHEN?" Because it's still Jesusland here in Ohio.

Ohio is where Christian teenagers move to when they get tired of being in a minority.

I think Kansas could take Ohio in a Jesus smackdown.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

This is odd for me to read.

Yeah, I can see that.

Speaking of which, have folks heard of Red State (the movie)? I've ordered the DVD - maybe we can have a Chicagoista viewing... thing.

But the point of this site, and the film, is hopefully more than commercial. The film was created with a simple premise; knowing what was known in 2004 why would anybody vote for George W. Bush? And while the movie gives us some insight into this question it was never intended to be an end in itself but a beginning.

A beginning of a conversation.

A conversation that will take us away from objectifying and demonizing others so that we may see our problems and differences clearly. A conversation that acknowledges the humanity of “the other side” and hopes to find compromises and solutions, where possible. But a conversation that does indeed see the threat to liberty that some among us present and has as it’s ultimate goal the eradication of this threat.
