Now, could it be that 'Reaganomics' is bankruping the nation, Bush saw
this, and dumped what he called voodoo economics?  And if 
'Reaganomics' is so excellent, please explain the debt, or even Ross
Perot's showing in elections.

I love this classic example of the liberal mindset:
   "You don't agree with me so you're not thinking (or thinking for
yourself). Obviously, all thinking people think like me unless they
are dominated by evil/sexist/right-wing people."

Tell me, who has the "small mind"
  + those who express an opinion
  + those who condemn others for offering a differing opinion.

The image of Christ with a bleeding heart is common in Catholic religious
texts such as those little sheets of paper you get when you light a candle in
church.
The standard image is a portrait of Christ w/halo and a bleeding heart
suspended in the air in front of or above Christ. The heart usually has a
crown of thorns around it.

For the metaphorically impaired, this refers to the idea that Christ suffered
and died for us.

A "bleeding heart" is someone who suffers or goes through torment so that
others, who may not deserve it, can benefit.

It is ironic that the absent referent in "Bleeding-Heart-Liberal" is
Christ. In America, Conservatives are superficially associated with
religious values (usually Protestant). This connection is misleading,
it has been invoked by extreme-right-wing politcal interests in order
to legitimize their beliefs and actions.

Pat Robertson-oids, Christan Colalition, Crusaders-for-Christ, right to
lifers, and the rest of the ilk are not religious organizations! they contrive
"Christian" justification for their political beliefs and then pass the
wicker basket to the dopes that have taken the bait.

These ultra-right-wing organizations cannot function without this fake
religious aura, because they would be seen for what they really are:
ignorant backwards rednecks.

Sometimes, however, little slips in rhetoric (such as calling someone a
"bleeding heart liberal" ) reveal some interesting truths. These are left
as an exercise for the reader.

Huh? One lie? What planet have you been on for the last four years. I
can refer to several lies Bush has made in the past. He claimed
he wanted to be the Educational President. Based on his actions, he lied.
He claimed he wanted to be the Environmental President. Again, by his

It was an truly entertaining show today, listening to Rush tapdance
around the facts in a vain attempt to regain his lost credibility. 
Virtually every significant prediction about the election failed to
materialize.

Does this spell the end of the Limbaugh legacy?  As a concerned
financialy conservative and socially liberal citizen, I hope not.  We
need him to help keep the radical right wing out in the open where we
can keep an eye on them.

Well, I can't say much about wherever you're at, but here in
Northwestern Ohio, our wetlands are doing quite well.  In fact,
in the past four years they've become even more protected.  This
includes more strict laws protecting that which already was
considered wetlands, and covers about three times more than was
originally protected from being encroached upon by business and
private housing, mostly along the coast of Lake Erie from the
east side of Toledo out to the Port Clinton area.  Much of this
happened as few as three years ago.  As few as two years
ago, the Army Corps of Engineers were here in the area helping
to clean up and restore a couple of our small creeks, making them
more habitable, as well. Perhaps this is a case of the media not
covering good news?  I don't know, I just know that it has
happened that way here.

Rush's show is the third -- THIRD -- ranked late-night show on TV,
third only to Nightline and Tonight, according to latest Nielsens. That
means he's beating Letterman, Arsenio, Whoopi, and the rest of the
assorted cast of competitors. Though I like Stern -- I used to be
addicted to his show when I was home in New Jersey -- Rush's influence
over American society and culture is far greater than Stern's, no
doubt. When was the last time you heard a political pundit scramble to
refute something Stern has said?

And, despite what Stern has been bragging about, Fartman is still a
very-low-budget film. Ten million is pigeon feed in these days of
80-million-dollar productions.

> He just put out a new video (where's Rush's video?).

_Rush to Excellence III_ is available by calling a toll-free number. 8)

Summation: when Stern tops the NY Times best-seller list and is beating
Letterman and Arsenio on late-night TV, call me. 8)

Hey, well Stern had his own TV show way before Rush got his.
Also, I don't think Stern's show was hidden in the dark recesses
of the night like Rush's is.  Rush's show probably won't even
last as long as Stern's did (before he went on to bigger and
better things).  He just put out a new video (where's Rush's
video?).  Stern is also coming out with a movie, _Fartman_ (when
is Rush coming out with HIS movie?  What will it be called?
_Fatman_?  By the way, you can order Stern's new video by calling
1-800-52STERN.  Personally I think Stern has a lot more common
sense than Rush (assuming that Rush believes what he is saying).

Just thought I'd throw a bone into the fray for all you

What he actually said was that he thought Cuomo would make an excellent

The campaign promise I'm interested in is the one where he promised to
keep a Kosher kitchen in the White House if elected. Just think; he'll
stimulate the economy right there! TWO new sets of dishes and post and

Actually, he did. Evidently, you didn't listen to Rush at the time
around the NH primaries. He excoriated the president.

    That's a very good point, but I think I still stick by my statement. 
As you have correctly pointed out, our system does not preclude or prevent 
the armed overthrow of the government. I would still say, however, that the 
design of our system is conceived to make armed overthrow less desirable 
than the peaceful transfer of power - *even if* that transfer results in 
some people being governed by a person with whom they do not agree. We have 
a common understanding that it's usually better to accept a temporary 
setback than to risk plunging the nation into civil war.
