i think i can speak on behalf of the group when i say no one gives a shit what you think

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-10-21/military-s-don-t-ask-don-t-tell-policy-will-stand-for-now.html more heat for the congress to act - how jerked aroudn does the whole military organization feel - change/don't change it/change it again/etc - pressure's building - course, if the dems lose control of the house it's going to be that much harder, but this hiccup isn't the end - it'll keep moving up the courts and i just can't see the supreme court turning it down or ruling for the Side of Evil

i agree - but wtf, the political reality was made clear in the clinton-era - if you push the gay-thang full-throttle the retard conservatives win - judges are an important part of affecting social change, but ultimately the congress needs to be on board and use the force of law to secure the rights - the popular-will has been growing for gay right for a very long time and i feel like the breaking point is damn near - the secdef wants it gone, the president wants it gone, 90% of the kids i've taught for years now seem to want it gone, the pentagon's about to have it's report on how it will implement the new deal, so it will be soon enough. all that said, if DADT ain't gone by the end of obama's time in office, he deserves the big black mark by his name.

it's not like conservatives have been any more enlightened on the issue - and how many conservatives would hang obama from his left nut for supporting "judicial activism" if he didn't challenge it? the prez's point that the policy should be enacted into law so as to have the force of popular opinion is a good one. wonder how many conservaphucks would filibuster that though?

jackie treehorn treats objects like women, man!

at the moment i'm still dealing w/ the "promote the general welfare" bit (yes, it does mean reading a bit further along in that there run-on sentence) and how, for average conservitards, that naturally doesn't include medicare, schip, obamacare, social security, or for that matter, welfare i'm sure you would have rocked the preamble recitation assignment better than a good # of my folks last week though - memorizing iz hard!

“America is a country of choices, not forcing people to buy things that they don’t need” - Nevada Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle in a debate against Majority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday.

the bridge shot

on a fine fall day, blustery w/ a hint of cold, ditching the frost and fog of camas, we went up the south side via the corner/youngwarriors, continued to the summit via the trail, then rappelled down the n side from the true summit to the parking lot via stooooone soup THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE! had thought of doing it for awhile now as i can't imagine it'd ever been done in the past, encompassing beacon's true summit being the bitchy bit - so nice, though the fixed ropes squeak now when you rap on them, and that in addition to the fact that my reverso is as sharp as the devils wit and greedily shaves the kermantle sure made me feel not so very happy in my bathroom areas no pix, so no tr - bummer....

do republicans really climb, wasn't beck weathers a republican? quit spraying n' get your ass on a plane n' come climb w/ me, eh?!? repubs seem good at climbing on top the social ladder
