Consequently, if you have license to judge Limbaugh for an allegedly
overt prejudice, one he claims not to have, do you likewise have the
hubris to criticize or condemn me if I were to judge the likes of
Barney Frank?

Now then, how do I "feel" about Rush Limbaugh? Limbaugh, like Michael
Moore, is a propagandist. He resorts to informal fallacy. He is
puerile in his mockery of others. He is far from someone I would care
to emulate or revere. However, as much as I find Michael Moore to be
offensive, I don't begrudge him making his 'documentaries.' I have as
much license to rebut and refute his campaign of disinformation.
Similarly, I don't begrudge Limbaugh having an ownership stake in an
NFL team. I have license and the freedom to not watch a Ram's game,
should I choose.

Hopefully, I can tie all of this together to make it somewhat
sensible. What would Jesus do about Rush? He would forgive him.

Regardless of any comments by jps, that was well done!

These folks sport their royal double-standards in the melee of
political conversation, and when it's shown that it's nothing but tin
foil, they lose their emblematic moral dilemma post haste. They're
like dodge convertibles, if you know what I mean.

As weary as I was last night, though, when I wrote this, I'm surprised
I was able to articulate any cogent thought at all. :)


I haven't really been following this thread, but what they heck...

I am _not_ a football fan. I don't see the big deal with Rush buying a team.
I believe the commissioner said that he (or was it other owners) would block
it since owners are expected to not make inflamatory public statements.
Also, I'm not sure why Rush would want to buy a team... I heard someone say
it's a perfect socialistic system, as the profits from TV are equally
divided. Perhaps Rush doesn't know this.. we wouldn't want his fat head to
explode! Ok, to give him some credit, he supposedly lost 85 lbs. recently.
lol

There's a touch of irony in this debate in that the fight for years
has been the effort to pierce the exclusive club mentality of certain
organizations such as the Boy Scouts, and now there's a necessity of
the exclusive club mentality of NFL ownership. If hypocrisy needed
the examplar of an anecdote, this would do.

I always liked Boy Scouts... they are so nice and helpful. The only thing
that bothered me was that they would _never_ buy the Girl Scout cookies when
I was a girl. They just walked by. lol

As I said, I don't know much about (or care about) FB. The whole sport seems
so contrived. Hockey I like. I don't understand it, but I like it. The funny
part is when they're in the penalty box and they still manage to get in
fights.

LOL! I have been baffled before by women that love to watch pro
hockey. What is it exactly that women find fascinating about hockey?

control on the ice. For all the cold in the arena, I'm never cold at a game.

They have pick-up lines at hockey games? If that isn't a venue for

Do you attend Sharks games? Or the Stockton Thunder?

Sharks... I might go with an old workmate at the end of the month. If I have
some time, I might go to Stockton in Nov.

Actually, I've met some really nice people at Sharks games.

Probably depends on which part of the country...or if French is is the

We think we talk normal here.....probably closer to your mid-western people
than your funny talkin' southerners, westerners or even Boston citizens.
