Breast On Virginia Seal Covered
Uphttp://tinyurl.com/3bd7q


Virginia's attorney general Ken Cuccinelli is hard at
work
on
the
important issues of the day -- like making sure the
Roman
goddess
depicted on his state's official seal isn't exposing
herself.


The current seal shows "Virtus, the goddess of virtue,
dressed
as
a
warrior," with her foot resting "on the chest of the
figure
of
tyranny,
who is lying on the ground." She is holding a spear
and
her
left
breast
is exposed.


Or at least it was exposed. At a recent meeting,
Cuccinelli
provided
pins to his staff with a new seal on which "Virtus'
bosom
is
covered
by
an armored breastplate," the Virginia Pilot reported.
These
new
pins
were not paid for by taxpayer dollars, Cuccinelli's
office
insisted.


The original state seal was designed by George Wythe,
a
signer
of
the
Declaration of Independence, and was first adopted in
1776,
according
to
a Virginia state website. But so much for that.


"When you ask to be ridiculed, it usually happens. And
it
will
happen
here, nationally," University of Virginia political
scientist
Larry
Sabato told the Pilot. "This is classical art, for
goodness'
sake."


And indeed, the mockery has already begun. "I'm
outraged --
no
longer
can the Virginia state seal be the centerfold of the
state
seal
magazine," leading Virginia blogger Ben Tribbett joked
to
HuffPost.


Cuccinelli has previously gained national notoriety
for
questioning
President Obama's citizenship, rescinding protections
for
gays
and
lesbians at Virginia universities, and claiming that
homosexuals
engage
in behavior that is "intrinsically wrong" and
offensive
to
"natural
law."


Cuccinelli's move harkens back to the decision by
President
Bush's
attorney general John Ashcroft to place drapes over
the
Spirit
of
Justice statue in the Justice Department's Great Hall.


We have right-wing morons among us.

Loogy... how come the hate? Just wondering...- Hide quoted

No hate, I'm just telling the truth. Harry has lied over and
over
again, and been caught in those lies over and over again.
Harry
comes
here and brags about things that he says he owns and does,
hence
the
blowhard part. Harry comes here and while hiding in the
sanctuary
of
his basement, acts brave and mouthy, but when I said I'd be
up
there
and would be glad to meet him face to face to see if he had
the
same
words, he backed out quicker than a cat can climb a tree,
hence
the
blowhard AND pussy part.


Reply: I think it's pretty obvious you do hate him. You
accused
me
of
hating
someone because I called him an idiot. Seems like a double
standard
to
me.- Hide quoted text -

Nope. I asked you why the hatred, not why you hated someone.
I
DO
however, really dislike the guy. Why? Simple, because he's a
liar,
has
been proven a liar, and I don't like liars.


You can play with the words all you want, but the fact is that
you
accused
me of something, then you turn around and deny even stronger
language
directed at the person of you choice.- Hide quoted text -

That's an outright lie. I never, ever denied saying what I said
to
Harry. He's a liar, and I don't like liars. Did you know that
he
claimed that his father got a "fireboat welcome" in NYC? It
never
happened. The records are open.


This isn't about Harry or what he's done or hasn't done. I
believe
I
stated
it accurately that you claimed I hated someone, due to calling
him
an
idiot
or similar, yet you claim you don't hate him for far worse.-

No, I never said that you hated any particular person, that is a
lie!


You said "why the hatred." That's pretty darn close to saying it.
Why
are
you calling me a liar?- Hide quoted text -


- Show quoted text -
Because you said that I said that you hated someone. Never said
that.


I said, she said, he said, they said, we said, the dog said, the
priest
said, and the cat sighed and walked away..


Whatever.- Hide quoted text -

Hey, Harry's good at that too! When caught in a lie, just deflect!


I must be Harry! Did I lie? If so, where? Are you angry with me or
do
you
really dislike me (or both)?- Hide quoted text -


- Show quoted text -
Right here is where you lied: "You accused me of hating someone
because I called him an idiot."


That is a lie. I never accused you of such. If you can't tell the
difference between the fact that I asked a question as opposed to
accusing you of something, you certainly have never been an attorney.
Go sell some undies.


Nope. I never said you hated him. I asked a question... "How come the
hate?" And, then I said it seemed like hatred to me.


So, you're the one who's misrepresenting the facts.


Don't really care what you think about me, Harry, or yourself, but I
think
you need some therapy. You can't get past defending yourself and
attacking
others. You're doing that with me right now.- Hide quoted text -

You're getting tripped up by your lies just like Harry does!!!! Here's
your EXACT words:

So how in hell does WHEN you made a statement have anything to do with
the fact that you did, indeed make that statement, and it was, in fact
a lie?



Firstly, when something is said has a great deal to do with context. Context
is everything...don't you agree?

Secondly, I said I thought it was obvious. I've been wrong before, but I
stand by my observation. You two are at each other in practically every
thread. Sometimes Harry initiates it, and sometimes you do. If you (or he)
had poked at each other a couple of times, then the obvious conclusion would
be mild dislike. If you (or he) poked at each other a bit more frequently,
then I'd be of the opinion that it was strong dislike. But, you (and he) are
way, way beyond that. Thus, I stand by my opinion that you and (perhaps) he
hate each other. Otherwise, why would you (or he) go at it _all_ the time.
No other explanation makes sense.

As I said previously, you asked me "why the hatred" when I called someone an
idiot a bunch. I call my cat an idiot a bunch but I don't hate him. However,
I don't go on a rant that lasts months about his personality flaws.

So, at this point you can deny you hate him and that's fine with me. In any
case, I'll continue to believe what I believe.
