So has crime. What is wrong with seeking to remove that of which the law
clearly defines? You are one of the most vocal in this group to
redundantly invoke that just because something is practiced far and wide
doesn't make it legal or right,,,,but of course, it does when you agree

What is wrong with correcting the law... instead of applying patches to a
worn out system? Write your congressman today!!!

Most of these ancient institutions and methods were created when people were
still afraid of electricity--thought it took a genius to use
radio--INDEED--the ignorant masses viewed radio as almost "Magic!"

Times have changed, kids run 10 watt Ghz transmitters on 2100 Mhz and tear
up business wireless networks for miles--important business and public
communications are affected--these kids need an outlet for their
energies....

The world has changed drastically--the laws still reflect stoneage beliefs

Where did you hear this taking place? Have an example? The FCC data bank
has no information regarding this, so I assume you are speaking of an
isolated incident to which you have personal knowledge. Isolated
incidents such as this do not merit such measures. BPL presents a real
problem as opposed to a single incident with kids funning around.



--important business and public

communications are affected--these kids need

Again,,,,please cite these examples or the source you used for obtaining
such information. You are claiming multiple businesses are being
affected...somehow, I don't believe that to be the case.

The world has changed drastically--the laws

Especially among a certain nocode faction who maintain the sky is

Those beliefs have been a part of our culture since this country was
founded. The perception that religion is "suddenly" being "Crammed
down other people's throats" is held by those who have been
conspicuously absent from any religious influences in their lives and
see any display of religion as excessive. Yet it is those same people

It is not illegal to run in the left lane as long as you are either
passing or maintaining the posted speed limit. Do you honestly expect
everyone to run in the right lane once they've hit the posted limit?
That's ludicrous. Especially considering the volume of traffic in this
area.



The fact is that despite recent
misinterpretations of the establishment clause
in the constitution by left wing zealots, we
have had religious influences in our
government from the very beginning.

That's rich..and wrong.

No, it's not wrong. Just look at the Supreme court building and
observe the sculpture of Moses holding the 10 commandments. And that
is but one example of many.

hopelessly biased not to see it.


Well, then feel free to ahead and explain away how these "left winger
misinterpretations" affect religious laws when the republicans are the
only party in charge of both the senate and the house....ie: the
country.

If what you allege was the case, the whole "PC" movement would have
been expunged from the country by now. It's not so simple to overturn
a few decades of liberal indoctrination, But at least the mainstream
is now awake and aware of what had previously been a fairly low
profile covert operation. But now all the underhanded, erroneous,
immoral, and hypocritical actions of the left are put up for all to
see and to judge accordingly.


In theory, it should mean nothing. But you

That's one biased opinion. The other side of the coin you seek to ignore
is that the fillibuster is the last legal refuge to place an end to the
republicans seeking to end and change laws that would prevent a one
party rule...theirs.

How? There is still a vote. In a vote,the majority rules. That's the
way any vote works. I suppose you'd rather apply a "filibuster-ike"
rule to challenge any majority vote. Maybe we should be filibustering
the last election, so that you PEST sufferers could leverage your
minority rule to place Kerry in office.

That's all a filibuster is, a desperate attempt by the minority to
overturn the wishes of the majority. So tell me, how is THAT any more
fair, than having a straight up or down vote? And in typical
democratic hypocrisy, the same people who are screaming to save the
filibuster now, were on record as in favor of removing it, over ten
years back, when the democrats were in the majority in congress.


Nevertheless, the misinterpretation has been all yours even though Frank
neatly wrapped it all up and presented you with the facts clearly
indicating congress shall keep the clause of separation of church and
state intact.

It was never there in the first place.


Denial is your best trait.,,but denial when presented proof is learned

Where is the proof? There is NOTHING in the constitution which calls
for the complete separation of church and state. All it does is
prevent the establishment of a state sponsored or endorsed religion,
and prevents the government from denying someone the right to observe
their religion of choice. Nowhere does the constitution claim or imply
that congress persons, the president, justices, or other people shall
not be people of faith. Nor does it ban the practices of referring to
God in an oath, or during any other proceeding of the government. Did
you know that every session of congress begins with a prayer, lead by
a staff preacher who is paid for by taxpayer dollars?

Did you know that there are Bible verses etched in stone all over the
federal buildings and monuments in D.C.? There are pictures of the 10
commandments inside the supreme court?

There has NEVER been a complete separation of church and state in this
government. The whole idea of any separation in the beginning was not
to protect government from religion, it was to protect religion from
government.

Now go do some research before you buy into left wing propaganda.


The only zealots that mean anything are the ones in charge...repubs.
**Because you agree with the religious zealots and have on many

who's to say who they would have favored. Any speculation on your

No,,you said,,,"Which made this country one of strong moral fiber".

Yes, MADE as in FOUNDED, as in "past tense". I know you have trouble
comprehending, but I didn't think I had to drop to this level to
explain it to you.

I have provided for each and every legal, grammatical, historical
point that I have made. In every case that you've challenged me, I
have proven you wrong, from your ridiculous comments regarding the
term "forensic", to the usage of "empirical observation", to your
erroneous claim that the Commonwealth of Pa does not give at least a 5
MPH speed tolerance for speeders. When you can't weasel out of that,
you change the subject and invent a lie that I never said, and then
try to attribute it to me. Your inept comprehension of the
constitution, and your hopelessly biased sense of politics is more
than just a little apparent. Your understanding of how government
works is not much different than that of the naive protesters who
burned their draft cards on college lawns in the 60's. They were
clueless and impressionable, and so are you. Prime candidates for
indoctrination into the communist party then, or liberal propaganda
now.

So tell me again about education, fishing boat boy. You and Frank
should go into that lawn care business together. Both of you are
severe underachievers.

I disagree. One doesn't need be anti-religious in order to disagree with
Christian dogma being displayed in public areas. This is your own short
sightedness.

What has changed in the last 100 years, in that regard, and why is it
no longer valid? Is it "dogma" to continue to believe in God? If you
truly believe that religion and faith are stagnant "dogma", then what
you are saying is that you no longer believe. So how can you be
concerned with taking God out of schools, when you call your own
"faith", "Christian dogma"?



There was once a day when democrats and
republicans practiced a little thing called
compromise.

There was also a day when the working guys of each party could think for
themselves instead of widely swallowing their party line rhetoric and
blaming those who aren't anywhere near leadership positions in this
country for all the woes and incompetence of your own party.

Such as?

Your entire religious argument regarding the left.

You deny that the left are engaged in a propaganda war for the hearts
and minds of easily mislead individuals? If I thought you would
understand, I would gladly engage you in a debate comparing the
relative merits of the ideology of the left versus the right. But I
fear it would be a total waste of my time.


What failures can be blamed on our leader?


Lately? Dharfur. N Korea. Providing adequate armor to the troops that
would save lives. Balancing the budget...just for an immediate start.

How is any of that a failure, when both are actions still in motion?
It can only be deemed a failure when we are defeated.

_
In other words, you seek to blame others
when responsibility for your leader's action must be taken.

.Well, it might be nice to blame Bush for the
failure of Social Security, but the democrats
will not even allow his plan to come to a full
vote,

There is no failure of SS, unless Bush is permitted to monkey with it.

Bill Clinton, and other prominent democrats are on record as
disagreeing with you. At least before Bush was in office, and it was
their platform to make.

Perhaps you would tell the class why having direct control of your own
interest bearing retirement account is less desirable than having the
government administer it. Someone who claims to embrace less
government would be happy to have the government out of the SS
picture.

Personally I want ALL of my S.S. money to be diverted into my existing
401K. THAT is the solution that I would want. But Bush needs to move
gradually as there are a lot of people who paid into SS and are
expecting something out of it. But a gradual shift over to private
accounts over time, makes the most sense.



while offering nothing of their own to counter
it.


Lockbox.

Which means nothing. It's status quo with a fancy name attached to it.
Since SS is based on treasury bonds, it is affected by budgets and
debt, so it can never really be in a "lock box"

They'd rather just pretend that there's no
problem (Even though prominent leaders of
their own party were running around like
chicken little about SS failing when Clinton
was in office).

Blaming another
political party for the last four and a half years of confirmed failures
illustrate you really have too great a deal to learn in order to
effectively discuss the political process.

The truth was always something which eludes you. Look it up if you
don't believe me. Clinton made SS a campaign issue.

Your opinion notwithstanding,


My "opinion" that blaming the left for Bush failures illustrates you
really have a great deal to learn is no opinion, but fact.

There have been no "failures" to accurately blame on Bush.


On the other hand, for the last 4 years, the
democratic party has become the party of
hatred and obstruction.


Demos have nothing to do with it. An attempt to cloud the topic that you
keep failing with by invoking the left when faced with Bush failures is
useless.

And you are a tongue dragging, lock step liberal, the more you deny
your own party's failings. No one is more shrill than Al Gore, or
Howard Dean. No one is as clueless as Nancy Pelosi. No one twists the
facts like Barbara Boxer. No one is more hypocritical than Harry Reid.
Even Hillary Clinton realizes the hopelessness of her own party's
liberal ideology and has been engaged in the political equivalent of
"extreme makeover", by trying to re-invent herself as a much more
moderate than a liberal. Her latest stunt of teaming up with Newt
Gingrich is further evidence of that. All of this, of course, is to
make her an electable candidate in '08. But it's all a lie.


If it looks smells or tastes like it came from a
republican, their first instinct is to oppose it.

You continue to invoke demos for all the republican failures. Classic.

Please provide a list of all "failures".

At least republicans are willing to do something. A democrat's
favorite word is "No".



And like I said, before your elected president successfully redefined
and mis-defined the term "liberal" to mean anyone who dares oppose him,

How did Bush manage to do that? I don't recall him ever standing up
and declaring that the "enemy" was not liberals (Although in some
respects, that's true)


many repubs actually thought for themselves instead of buying into
failed party rhetoric from which most intelligent and true GOP'er have
distanced themselves.

You keep claiming that the party mission has "failed", yet there is
nothing that indicates anything of the sort. The economy is growing,
the war in Iraq is gradually going our way. There is a surge in a
desire for democracy in the middle east. While the price of oil is
high, there is not much that our government can do to affect it. We
have tried to present an energy policy, to hopefully mitigate some of
the energy concerns, but once again the democrats are trying to block
it.

You would have to ask one. My guess would be a certain faction is trying
to cram their religious beliefs down otehr's throats.

Those beliefs have been a part of our culture since this country was
founded. The perception that religion is "suddenly" being "Crammed
down other people's throats" is held by those who have been
conspicuously absent from any religious influences in their lives and
see any display of religion as excessive. Yet it is those same people
who are the ones at odds with our society, as history will testify to.



The problem is both sides. One person find offense with
something of a religious over tone in government, he then
finds the ACLU and wants it removed. Now the religious
zealots start banging the drums in defense of religion.



_
You are one of the most vocal in this group to
redundantly invoke that just because something is practiced far and wide
doesn't make it legal or right,,,,but of course, it does when you agree
with it.

In the case of religious influences in this
country, the majority have accepted and
endorsed it since the beginning. It's only now
that a small, but vocal MINORITY that has a
problem with it.

When it's not illegal, I agree with it.

Except when the law doesn't agree with your point of view or actions.
You claim ignorance of the law is no excuse, but you arrogantly claim
you break the law intentionally (holding up traffic in the passing lane,
paralelling the car in the right lane) in order to enforce another law.
Pa law states the left lane is for passing only. You're an uninformed
(regarding the law in your own state) hypocrite.

It is not illegal to run in the left lane as long as you are either
passing or maintaining the posted speed limit. Do you honestly expect
everyone to run in the right lane once they've hit the posted limit?
That's ludicrous. Especially considering the volume of traffic in this
area.

I can't answer for PA, but in California you would get a ticket
for impeding the flow of traffic. I've seen it, so please don't
say it doesn't happen.


Both of you are
severe underachievers.

I don't think so. I don't think you are either. I do think that
you all are on the far end of political and religious spectrum,
as such, this argument between you three will never end.

Sure it is. What you are trying to convey is progress isn't always a

Not many.



Haha,,talk about subjective terms.

You have never been west of the Mississippi, obviously. Have you ever

But even so, it illustrates the influence of God,

Your beliefs are not in any way representative of society and society is

You still demonstrate hypocrisy here,,.the

Your personal dislikes and opinions of the law are irrelevant to your

"There is NO excuse for breaking the law. Ignorance is no excuse. The
hows and whys are irrelevant. You break the law, you're a criminal. :
And my favorite "If you don;t like the law, you are bound to obey them
or lobby to have them legally changed". So go ahead David, instead of
bitching about it and doing a siren's dance around your hypocrisy and
crying about how the law is written and whining about traffic, take your
own advice and change the law you break, you criminal, you.


The fact is that despite recent

misinterpretations of the establishment clause

in the constitution by left wing zealots, we

have had religious influences in our


government from the very beginning.

That's rich..and wrong.

No, it's not wrong. Just look at the Supreme

court building and observe the sculpture of

Moses holding the 10 commandments. And

that is but one example of many.


You snipped my post and to what you replied "no it's not"....you lost
this point. Next subject.

_
Well, then feel free to ahead and explain away how these "left winger
misinterpretations" affect religious laws when the republicans are the
only party in charge of both the senate and the house....ie: the
country.

If what you allege was the case,



Allege? Are not the repubs in charge? Yet, you continue ot blame those
whoare not in charge. Classic abdication of those responsible...your
practicied behavior that is almost secod-nature to you.

the whole "PC" movement would have been

expunged from the country by now. It's not so

simple to overturn a few decades of liberal

indoctrination,



Liberals founded this country. Your hatred towards such founding
principles and favoring socialistic government is well documented.

But at least the mainstream is now awake and

aware of what had previously been a fairly low

profile covert operation.


Agree,..which is why the Bush approval rating in Iraq is nearing an all
time low again.

But now all the underhanded, erroneous,

immoral, and hypocritical actions of the left are

put up for all to see and to judge accordingly.





Yet, the left's behavior has you so preoccupied when the repubs are in
charge. It kills you.



In theory, it should mean nothing. But you

know those obstructionist democrats trying to

use a filibuster to leverage their minority into a

controlling influence.

That's one biased opinion. The other side of the coin you seek to ignore
is that the fillibuster is the last legal refuge to place an end to the
republicans seeking to end and change laws that would prevent a one
party rule...theirs.

How? There is still a vote.


Except ythe repubs seek to cancel the demos.

In a vote,the majority rules. That's the way

any vote works. I suppose you'd rather apply a
"filibuster-ike" rule to challenge any majority

vote.


(sig) Frank taught you the origins of the filibuster. You continue to
have hatred for more American designed security designed to protect us
from such fascism.

Maybe we should be filibustering the last

election, so that you PEST sufferers could

leverage your minority rule to place Kerry in

office.


See what a poor retainment value you employ.....your hatred is so rabid,
you erreoneously referred to myself and Frank as demos and Kerry
supporters. That downslide is really messing you up.

That's all a filibuster is, a desperate attempt by

the minority to overturn the wishes of the

majority.



That is only your misinterpretation of another definition. In fact, what
makes this so shocking, is you were given the exact origination of the
fillibuster in addition to its proper definition, but you are dogged
determined to wallow in your own ignorance.

So tell me, how is THAT any more fair, than

having a straight up or down vote? And in

typical democratic hypocrisy, the same people

who are screaming to save the filibuster now,

were on record as in favor of removing it, over

ten years back, when the democrats were in


the majority in congress.

Nevertheless, the misinterpretation has been
all yours even though Frank neatly wrapped it all up and presented you
with the facts clearly indicating congress shall keep the clause of
separation of church and state intact.

It was never there in the first place.

Denial is your best trait.,,but denial when presented proof is learned
ignorance.

Where is the proof?


Your mistake (almost everytime you post this week) is in believing their
is some type law doing just what the clause prohibits.


There is NOTHING in the

constitution which calls for the complete

separation of church and state. All it does is

prevent the establishment of a state

sponsored or endorsed religion,



Wait a second,,a few paragraphs above you said it WAS endorsed,,in
fact,, that's the exact
word you used,,let's see it again..


In the case of religious influences in this

country, the majority have accepted and

endorsed it since the beginning.



HAhahhaa,,what a card you have become, largely opposing yourself and
self-contradictions galore.

and prevents the government from denying

someone the right to observe their religion of

choice. Nowhere does the constitution claim

or imply that congress persons, the president,

justices, or other people shall not be people of

faith.




No one said otherwise. Your deficit has you confused and focusing on
topic only you invoke and conjure.
But while you're at it, it also says nothing of your claim that such was
"endorsed".

Nor does it ban the practices of referring to

God in an oath, or during any other

proceeding of the government.


See above concerning your conjured ramblings taken from outter space.


Did you know that every session of congress

begins with a prayer, lead by a staff preacher

who is paid for by taxpayer dollars?

Did you know that there are Bible verses

etched in stone all over the federal buildings

and monuments in D.C.? There are pictures of

the 10 commandments inside the supreme

court?


And E Pluribus Unum is on the buck.

There has NEVER been a complete


separation of church and state in this

government.



Yes, there has. Your misinterpretation has you believing that a faith or
belief is equal to an established or endorsed religion or church.

The whole idea of any separation in the

beginning was not to protect government from

religion, it was to protect religion from

government.


And you arrived at such a conclusion exactly how....?

Now go do some research before you buy into

left wing propaganda.



And that would be another erroneous claim that I am a demo or Kerry
supporter,,,hmmm,,,,,it really bugs you when the repubs are made to
answer for their incompetence, especially yours.
The only zealots that mean anything are the ones in charge...repubs.
=A0=A0Because you agree with the religious zealots and have on many
occasion admitted that your moral views are to be fostered upon others
and if they do not subscribe to your radical positions and admitted (on
many occasion) socialistic tendencies, you mistakenly hold them as an
enemy of yourself, seeking to take away that of which you believe.

I and many others who are currently in the


majority. You know, the ones who reelected


G.W. Bush.

The majority didn't vote, David.

The majority of those who voted, voted for

Bush.


That's a far, far, cry from claiming a majority or a mandate. The ony
mandate Bush had was with Jeff Gannon..

As for the rest, who's to say who they would

have favored. Any speculation on your part, is

just that.


As yours. At least I'm not going around illustrating to the world I
believe Bush had a mandate.

Besides, those who don't play an active part

in their government, have no right to complain

about it.


Such as you and your issues relating to radio of which your life has
become largely reactive as opposed to proactivity. You eally sould take
your own advice, but hypocrites rarely do.


I would argue that it was those influences

which made this country one of strong moral

and ethical principles.

In one sentence you claim the moral and ethical principles of this
country have degraded terribly and even said society was reflected on
the air.
Now you say the country is once again of strong moral fiber and ethical
principle.

No, I said that this country was FOUNDED on

strong moral and ethical principles.

No,,you said,,,"Which made this country one of strong moral fiber".

Yes, MADE as in FOUNDED, as in "past

tense". I know you have trouble

comprehending, but I didn't think I had to drop

to this level to explain it to you.



Only because you are the only one that understands yourself.
The only misinterpretation here, is the initial
impression I had of you and your education. I thought you were
reasonably schooled at one point, until the several weeks, between your
gaffes and unlearned comments regrading the law of your own state and
the glaring holes in your civics and history knowledge, law knowledge,
and FCC knowledge.
