Navratilova tried to bring out that point. <br><br>This video makes me think what would have happened if Clark had won the presidency. And is it really true (read it on Wikipedia) that Sullivan can't get citizenship because he's HIV-positive? That is just wrong in so many ways.Adynatonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02254671918346680012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-45728838760842016262007-10-30T18:57:00.000-07:002007-10-30T18:57:00.000-07:00Andrew Sullivan must have a lot of liberal intelle...Andrew Sullivan must have a lot of liberal intellectual friends...too bad he didn't listen to them earlier. Having listened to this I think it's important to point out that I kept hearing blame and fear of "religion." As for bin Laden; it is not religious insanity that fuels his hatred of us (say, our Christianity or even Judaism or his Islam), it's his hatred for our foreign policies; especially those that have fueled his political enemies. If we forget that important fact, then we forget our enemy and have no idea how to "fight" him. And as for George Bush; their "religious" fervor is used for very material greed--for money and power. Their respective motivations are not religious, any religious justifications they have are quite obviously hypocritically used as a facade.Urban Pinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02556606553132406807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-44910970706299531322007-10-29T18:50:00.000-07:002007-10-29T18:50:00.000-07:00I have nothing to add, M.D. (I have my big plastic...I have nothing to add, M.D. (I have my big plastic bucket beside my chair right now.)Vigilantehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07640246609540057997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-70401859687693693782007-10-29T17:51:00.000-07:002007-10-29T17:51:00.000-07:00448 days to go for the "lying sack of shit&qu...448 days to go for the "lying sack of shit".<br><br>Then we will have to listen to the drooling hagiographers try to launch Bush into the pantheon of great Presidents.<br><br>Open mouth, insert finger down throat.No. 44noreply@blogger.com
