		<description>Are there no answers to the questions I posed earlier on this forum? Georgia’s criminal legislators must pass some “sex offender” laws every single year. How will they do it if we shorten their session so much that they only have time to do productive work? If “the people” don’t come up with a solution, then the geniuses themselves will (and you know what that means).

Here are the questions that were posed: If we cut down the number of Georgia legislators and the length of their session, how will they ever get around to passing all the completely counterproductive, retroactive, immoral, illegal, anti-religious, un-American “sex offender” laws that they want to inflict upon us? What will those criminals do if they can’t practice Fear Mongering for their full session and then some? How will they waste our tax dollars (oops, I mean China’s money)? “SMART”, my a$$. Please.</description>

		<description>Awe how cute. The kook liberal who always has an infatuation with Conservative bloggers here is back. I&#039;ll bet the poor thing can&#039;t even sleep well at night knowing there&#039;s a Conservative out there voicing Conservative opinions (BOO!). If it wasn&#039;t so pathetic it would be humorous. Like the liberal idiocrats in the White House hatnig on Fox News. What, do the emotion driven left wingnuts think that is going to increase their credibility among Moderates and Independents or something? 

Oh sure, Fox News continues to hand those [sarcasm on] bastions of non-biased and objective reporting such as CNN, MSNBC, and print media like the New York Times and Washington Post [sarcasm off]. Yeah, those same media outlets who were SURE to let Republicans in Congress and Bush know that their deficit spending was ruining America. Now we have witnessed more deficit spending in less than a year of pure Democrat rule than in all of Bush&#039;s 8 years, including 2 years under a Pelosi/Dem congress. Compare the value of the dollar now compared to 3-4 years ago. Yep, because now that Democrats are in charge, said DNC media doesn&#039;t care about those issues any more - kinda like how they wet themselves over Iraq and saying that Afghanistan was the real war. Now where is their outrage over the record months of US troop deaths in Afghanistan under this new administration? Yep. 

So, how&#039;s everyone enjoying this global warming and record snow around the nation for this time of year? And to think the same Liberal Idiocrats who want to run your health care want to punish America in a great pansy scheme of the global warming initiative led by the UN. What horse crockery of the modern kook left.</description>

		<description>Aye, and all of ye leftist heathen who dare besmirch the name of my Lord, Rush the Bloated, shall be smited ere the noon come!  For I, Rageddisnott Dingdangimabunghole, do decree that the wisdom spouting from the girth of his cheeks (the nether set, that is) doth form the wit and wisdom upon which I and mine ilk do depend for sustenance.  Is there another, save our own Woo-ten the Wootificient, who is as judicious in his vicissitudes of viciousness?  Who else hath the courage to decry the uppityness of the dusky-skinned hordes who are responsible for the ascent of Obama The Usurper into yon high office, which by all rights doth belong to...oh, any caucasian male of the Reichwing persuasion???  Hark, ye heathen, for mine hands are even now reaching for mine ankles, that I might smite thee all with the mighty winds that issue forth from the cavernous recesses of my righteous bowels!  Rush, I do bleat in thine honor!  HARK!  Athletic teams aplenty shall be yours, once we have riled the hordes of the blithering ignorant once more, to re-take that which is rightfully ours!</description>

		<description>There exists no greater group of capitalist than NFL owners.  They are all about the bottom line,  If they don&#039;t want Rush, it is strictly a business decision.  It seems that Jim Wooten would celebrate this instance of the free market at work.</description>

		<description>Amen to the santa article. If something is free it is percieved to have no value.
When I was living in S. Carolina there was an article about a couple who bought a new refrigerator. Since the old one was still in good condition, they put it on the street with a sign &#039;Free To a Good Home&#039;.
Three days past with no takers. A friend told them to put a price on it since people didn&#039;t value something for free. He changed the sign to &quot;$50, very good condition&quot;. The first night someone stole it.

This same lesson goes for any govt. handout.</description>

		<description>Rush Limbaugh&#039;s ouster from the bid... we call that the free market at work. ;)  Rush can say anything he likes, and he can say it publicly--but he has to face the consequences.</description>

		<description>Mr Wooten&#039;s Santa Claus comment was suggesting that the government charge for all services and let the free market control access. My point was that if you do that, there will be some innocent, no-fault-of -their-own people who will not be able to afford access to the service. BTW, I can&#039;t be Santa, I&#039;m way too skinny and have big ears. Hmmm, maybe I could pass for that Pookah!</description>

		<description>Hey Chris,

Don&#039;t you dare take Dan Quail&#039;s name in vain, quail egg.  He&#039;s the conservator of our morals, you know, and the father of, as I understand it, several people.  So you should be ashamed.  You&#039;re not fit to have a toddler on your velveteen lap down at Phipps.  Hang your whiskers in shame.</description>
