Dems, you know you're sunk when Babs starts singing...Follow

Sheesh, who ever said there was no such thing as partisan politics? She's not even using real words!

LOL, Streisand has got more talent than the republican's songmeister Ashcroft. Hmm.

Take a listen to his great classics -Blessed be that city and of course Let the Eagle Soar!

As opposed to Gray Davis, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, the man who invented the internet, and any woman who is a card carrying member of NOW?

Let's face it, every party has it's share of "eccentrics," but at least Ashcroft, Helms, and Thurmond didn't mortgage a brilliant singing career against some hokey political lyrics. What a letdown.

Michalangelo might as well painted "Kilroy was here" on the Sistene chapel's ceiling for what Babs is doing. Mind you, her music doesn't appeal to me, but I recognise talent when I see it. But cashing in on that talent for something as tawdry as Bush-bashing should be beneath her.

I guess it's like money: Just because you have it doesn't mean you have class...

No, it's not the EOFS. There is no all or nothing in politics, regardless what you may think. As I have said, there are things about Bush I don't care for, but on the whole I back his play. And, believe it or not, I can say the same for Clinton when he was in office. It was only when personal integrity became an issue and interjected itself into the Oval Office that I objected.

But, hey, we've been over and over this issue so many times in the past, me repeating myself isn't going to change your minds about Clinton or me or about whether you believe me when I say such things about my attitudes towards philanderers. Politics is truly the most colorfast of political stains, right up there with religion.

Count on it. I vote in every election from the local dog catcher race to the presidential election, not to mention I do not avoid jury duty and I spent twenty years in the military. But then I was raised with a clear sense of civic duty and an apprciation for my responsibilities in this land of ours.

Care to match civic resumes?*

*Not that I am denigrating you or your participation in your community, but I see an awful lot of it here from some people. So to the rest of you, if you're not out there getting involved STFU since you can't be bothered with such trivial details.

Old Strom promoted segregation, but at least he didn't sing bad songs.

Anyone see the SNL sketch where John McCain (yes, the real guy) started singing Barb songs? It was funny as hell.

The Eagle Scouts themselves do not make the policy. I personally don't give a crap if they do or do not allow gays into scouting. The democrats did not boo the administration of the BSA (less than suprising is the fact that you can find them in Texas), they were booing a group of EAGLE SCOUTS. These are teenagers that have worked their @$$ off to get where they are. I have not met an Eagle Scout yet who was anything less than an outstanding individual. If you agree with what those democrats did, here's a little activity for you: go boo and protest the soldiers who recieve the purple heart, or congressional medal of honor, or any other military award because the military does not want homosexuals either. You'll be doing the exact same thing, disrespecting those who have worked hard while they have no control over the situation.

First off. I'm still relatively sure he's never met any of them.

Secondly, that's how many individuals over how many years, out of how many scouts? That's a pretty low percentage. I'm betting we have a higher percentage of criminals among elected officials then Eagle Scouts.

Not that I think scouting is a huge deal, but I agree that booing the scouts themselves for the policies of the organization is a bit much. It's *exactly* like spitting on soldiers because you don't like the administration that sent them to fight.

One, that's a tiny list that I picked out at random. There are THOUSANDS of Eagle Scouts convicted of all sorts of crimes. A much, much, higher percentage than elected officals.

Two, it's nothing at all like spitting on soldiers. Eagle Scouts are part of a private, homophobic, childs paramilitary orginization. It's more akin to spitting on KKK members. They have more in common with Eagle Scouts than soldiers do.

No use ribbing him on it, he revels in his redneck-ness.

Maybe from the outside you can make abstract parallels to the KKK. But have you ever actually been IN the boy scouts?

It's a bunch of 12-year-old kids that go on camp outs and try to find new ways to light things on fire.

My high school gym teacher and my priest were closer to pedophiles than anyone i ever knew associated with the boy scouts.

The christian mandates aren't forced at all, it really depends on how much of a zealots the adult leader is. Basically, the kids whose parents raised them in a religious upbringing paid attention to the religious stuff, and everybody else didn't care.

There was no breeding of homophobia either, other than the standard 12-year-old "you're gay" insult. The administration I was around didn't even say a word on gays either way, at least not to the kids.

As for paramilitary, if I had any notion of ever joining the military, the boy scouts would have driven me away from it. The uniforms are arbitrary.

This is just one of those things where people pick on them for stupid decisions by the old men in charge, but the actual participation is just a bunch of average, dorky kids hanging out.

Damn, you know what you're right.

All along they had been brainwashing me.

On with the gay bashing!

damn homos.
