Commented on Separation of Church and StateSince Gene is so imbued with showing both sides in debates, I refer everyone to yesterday, when Gene was so intent in displaying his inner feminist: throwing around trite Liberal insults to this publisher, accusing me of being a chauvinist, which is terminology that no knowledgeable man would use, and is endemic more of a feminist 'hissy fit', than any real point of knowledge.
When it came to the point of knowledge part of the discussion/debate, Gene failed by not answering a simple question, twice. I've said this before, and I will reiterate: If Emory is the bastion of intellect that has propelled Gene through life, especially when it comes to intellectual discourse with those of opposing knowledge, I suggest he endeavor to get his money back.

Commented on Separation of Church and StateYour sentence: "It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion, or non-religion over religion", is wrong.
Atheists are not a protected class to be coddled, at the exclusion of Christian values, in my America.

Commented on Separation of Church and StateI agree, the 1st Amendment is rather precise in its simplicity.
The funny part to all this is that this is the most quoted amendment by Liberals, and still, I just don't believe they grasp it.

Commented on Separation of Church and StateThank-you Bobby Tony for clarifying this liberal fantasy for what it is.
I actually like the idea of separation of church and state, but it still does not make that philosophy constitutionally protected. You know, the reason Liberals say and do silly things is because they just do not know stuff.

Gene actually answered the one on chauvinism: Which was, 'I am Conservative like a Muslim Fundamentalist'.
He never answered the one on everyone funding the killing of babies. Gene's Liberal tendencies may be at conflict with some deep, unresolved semblance of decency.

Ted: Does that include feminist women, because I have to be able to talk to whoever I find attractive?
Fortunately, I did not marry a feminist, and none of my daughters are feminazis, and as they grow older and wiser, they will probably be completely normal.

Ted,
Your minimalist summation may be the only answer I get other than I am 'tantamount to Muslim Fundamentalist', and that from someone who deeply admires the one American President, Jimma, who did more for Muslim Fundamentalism than any other president ever, even more than Hussein. After two attempts to discover whether Gene approves of publicly funded abortion, I will not try again. Actually, I cannot fathom why Gene allows himself to lose every debate he starts with me. He lost this one fast, faster than usual, and with just one word - Chauvinism. He might as well have cried 'RACIST'!

Gene, 'If you walk like a Liberal, talk like a liberal, quack like a Liberal, then you are a Liberal'.
Embrace it man, your inner feminist will accept you for it.

So Gene, I get it: Chauvinism is you projecting your inner feminist angst against someone who knows stuff, can explain stuff, and actually can answer simple questions?
Using this feminist name calling technique shifts the conversation away from you losing the debate, yet again, but offers you inclusion with Liberal feminists, most of whom can't think their way out of a wet paper bag. I get it now, and thanks for giving me another Liberal buzz word/phrase, actually slang, that some of us have no need to use.

Gene, once again:
1) Do you believe in the public funding of a woman's private business? 2) What does the Liberal slang word of chauvinism mean (you accused me of it, you should know what this Liberal word means)?

And one more thing: What is chauvinism that you accuse me of?
I know that it is a Liberal word that you, Liberals, use, but scholars, such as myself, just never use that form of slang; in fact, from a Search here in BCN, the word has never been used here out of the more than a hundred million words used so far in BCN. So, what is chauvinism, and why is it so important to you?

So Gene, all of your professions of my Chauvinism aside: Do you agree that there should be no more public funding of 'a woman's very private business'?

Commented on Separation of Church and StateIgnorance is quantifiable. Dishonesty, while often a condition of stupidity, must be ferreted out, and then made quantifiable as well.

This is Diane's inner biologist taking over, and I will always defer to that on most issues.
There is also the: "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee" - Jeremiah 1:5 (King James) - directive of thought.

Commented on Separation of Church and StateActually, I agree with you and Tom to a point, and I showed this behavior in my 18 years as a county commissioner, and my over 5 years as publisher here on BCN.
However, there comes a point, when one deals with issues, with (as a county commissioner), or about (as an editorialist), people, who are patently dishonest: in their deeds, as liars, as destroyers of our ability to continue as a Republic, and, at that point, I will do everything in my power to take them down, and I want to be on record doing so. This goes beyond your opponent being egregiously stupid, this is about the motives that are manifested by their stupidity, and their subsequent, continuous dishonest behavior. Most politicians are dishonest people - even some Republicans. Most people, similarly, are borderline dishonest (they elected them), and they need to be reminded that others are watching.

Commented on Separation of Church and StateThat is the system doing this.
"R-E-S-P-E-C-T" is a recent post by Tom Campbell, who does a statewide TV show. If you are meaning that Liberals respect the sanctity of life; they'll have none of that. Liberals are like Libertarians, just a little, as they want government out of their personal lives, their personal decisions; however, they do like government to: feed them, house them, clothe them, offer them continuous free education, pay for their art, their healthcare, and most of all, the destruction of human life. I know I left much out, but this is a good beginning.

Commented on Separation of Church and StateThanks, because I have never really considered "Separation of Church and State" an important issue.
Just ran a Search on BCN, and not my name once in thousands of posts by me on that subject.

Fine.
You Liberals love killing babies as a rallying point for your low-information party, I get that. I will fight, like all more thoughtful and compassionate Americans, to stop public funding for baby killing mills. Congress can do it, and a patriotic, Christian president will never veto it.

B.T., I swear, your posts make every bit as much impact as what I write, especially this.
I have, over the years, done much interlinking between posts.

Publisher to the Public: Bobby Tony laid this post out all by himself, and to my rather strict specifications.
Bravo, simply bravo. Plus, the post represents so well my memories of the South in the sixties, a period of upheaval and the formation of a path toward regional healing. Bravo, simply bravo, Bobby Tony.

Commented on A Modern Man of Great Faith and IntegrityB.T., You have hit the nail on the head in all of your comments on this issue, and if you could organize all of them in a post, it would be one that would resonate for some time.
On a another note, this is where Jimma and Hussein are similar, with one difference: Hussein did install so many of his dishonest cronies, many of them should have been impeached and prosecuted, to further his agenda and insulate his own dishonest, felonious behavior. Hussein, at that point, decided to side step congress to unconstitutionally make law.

Commented on A Modern Man of Great Faith and IntegrityGene, the Federal government should do what it is tasked to do, and not what it was not constitutionally tasked to do. It is that simple.

Commented on A Modern Man of Great Faith and IntegrityBeautiful, B.T.
I have no probelms with Jimma the Man; however, i think he should be a bit more careful when criticizes anything American, when abroad, and we are at war. Jimma the governor, Jimma the philanthropist, Jimma the Christian; these probably were, and are wonderful things. I celebrate the man and his service. Jimma the president was a failure; just as Barack Hussein the president is an even larger failure.

Commented on A Modern Man of Great Faith and IntegrityReagan: Excess War Spending = winning the Cold War and transforming the military away from the demoralized one that crashed and burned in the desert under Carter to the most powerful military in the World.
And then you are back to the 'Hate' Speech. Liberals may know your 'Hate Speech' as code for many things, but Liberals, like yourself, also know other things - how to lose wars and surrender, and thoroughly demoralize a military here in modern times - first with Johnson, then Carer, then Clinton, and now Barack Hussein. You don't believe me? Then you don't know the military.

Commented on A Modern Man of Great Faith and IntegrityYou brought him up first, right here:
"Your "god" is far different. Reagan schemed to keep the hostages held hostage until his secretly promised "better deal" with Iraq should they hold them until he got elected President! That was a real self-centered game to play with the lives of hostages for political gain!" You opened that 'Pandora's Box', for the Liberal, by employing this Liberal's 'Group-think' trite speech here above. And then, I just stuck to the point, drove it home, and as a good Liberal, you lost the debate ... again.

Commented on A Modern Man of Great Faith and IntegrityFigures lie and liars figure:
Noting could be more true when one examines the unemployment rate v. the labor participation rate and real job creation. Today's labor participation rate of 63.6 % is essentially the same as when Obama hit his lows in unemployment at the height of the Great Recession at 63.3%, ergo little job creation from then to now. Factor in the fact that, due to ObamaCare, you have far fewer full time jobs created in aggregate, many full time jobs lost, and mostly part time jobs created now taking the place of full time jobs; and on should fathom that there is little job creation. Actually, one could make the argument that jobs have been lost, once again, in aggregate under Barack Hussein. To put a truer focus on the job creation v. unemployment rate conundrum: At this identical point in the respective Obama/Reagan's presidential terms, the economy during Obama's presidency has created about 800,000 jobs (mostly part time jobs), and the economy during Reagan's presidency did create about 6,000,000 jobs (mostly full time jobs). Factor in the fact that America's population is about 10% higher now, and that the increase in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is more than double for Reagan, and we get a truer picture that times are far better then than now. These are the real facts folks, and don't let any math-challenged Liberal tell you any different. Hey, I really get this stuff. Maybe, I should write a business column here in BCN.

Commented on A Modern Man of Great Faith and IntegrityGene, Stop all that 'hate speech' about Jimma.
You do realize that Reagan is your litmus test, not only as to whether you are a Liberal, but just how deep you are in the Liberal fold. When you start making up facts as argument devices, you are deep in that fold. No wonder Liberals just don't know stuff; facts are just not their friends. Remarkably, Democrat Senator Patrick Patrick Moynihan once eloquently stated, 'you are welcome to your own opinion, but not your own set of facts'. This guy would not do well in your party right now.

Commented on A Modern Man of Great Faith and IntegrityThe real Jimma at a quick glance: 1) Giving away the Panama Canal; 2) running an economy with 12% inflation and worse interest rates; 3) recognizing the legitimacy of Yessir Arafat; 4) shrinking and demoralizing the military until America was a Paper Tiger and could not organize a rescue mission of the 56 hostages; 5) allowing for, maybe encouraging an environment in a once friendly Iran, where 56 hostage were taken and held for nearly a year and half, and he did nothing to get them back; 6) Insuring that Iran would be the first Islamist nation, so that today we might live in fear of their exportation of terror ... you know, I could go on and on here.

Once, and fortunately, I did get my foot caught in the rail like Buddy in Fried Green Tomatoes. Every time I see that scene, I get really anxious.
The truth of it is that these trains, when I was a child, ran about 30 miles per hour over those trestle tracks, and long before those freight trains hit the tracks, they blew a long whistle, and that was one's cue to GET.

Wyatt is a Gloomy Gus. I often question why I tolerate his Cracker ass.
Oddly, he sometimes has a sense of humor. He remembers my father, and loves when I tell him about my Dad spending so many late springs and long hot Summers in Adel, Nashville and Moultrie, Georgia over about 50 years, maybe longer, working tobacco warehouses with some of the most eclectic people of all time. My father, a Conservative to the core, was a really funny guy. When Jimmy Carter was president for those 4 sad years, my father would sometimes joke: Georgia is famous for a lot of smart people, in fact, I have it on good authority that Junior Samples is the smartest man to come out of Georgia in the last 4 years.
