Diagnosing Denise

McCain hates women? Where's your proof? However, there's ample proof that you hate BPR & me, as well as conservative "blacks" such as “carpetbagging Republican Housenegro™ Alan Keyes.”

Are you referring to McCain's supposed use of the C-word? If true, he likely was imitating some of your favorite libs, such as Jane Fonda.

“NBC Apologizes for Jane Fonda Saying ‘C**t’ On Today”

NBC News is apologizing again – this time for Jane Fonda. The 70-year-old actress used a vulgar slang term on the Today show Thursday [on the February 14 edition] while talking about the play The Vagina Monologues. Fonda is appearing in a 10th-anniversary performance and was on Today with author Eve Ensler.

Fonda told co-host Meredith Vieira that [10 years ago] she was asked to perform a monologue with a slang term for vagina as the title — and Fonda used the term itself on the air in explaining why she said "no."

..................

On the January 15 edition of Good Morning America, Diane Keaton dropped the F-word. Unlike host Diane Sawyer, Meredith Vieira did not appear shocked at Fonda's vulgarity.

“Sex, Lies, and The Vagina Monologues”

Eve Ensler, in introducing her play The Vagina Monologues (presented on college campuses across America) and talking about its impact, said the following:

“Glenn Close gets 2,500 people to stand and chant the word c***.”

“There is now a C*** Workshop at Wesleyan University [and Penn State held a “C***”-fest].”

One participant said, “I think they [attendees at a history conference next door to the rehearsal room for the play] were a little shocked to hear Crista screaming, ‘C***, C***!! SAY IT! SAY IT! C***, C***!! Say it! Say it!’”

Then, there are the provocative questions for six-year-old girls, questions, if asked by a man, would be considered child abuse.

“Litigation, Castigation, and Donation”

At Georgia Tech a couple of years ago the feminists used the “c-word” during The Vagina Monologues. When a couple of brave young ladies named Ruth and Orit put up a “We are not (c-words)” poster on campus, the feminists tried to censor them claiming the c-word is offensive unless uttered by a feminist. Ruth and Orit sued and won overturning the speech code in the process.

“Why Can’t They ‘Just Get Along?’” “V-Day Meets P-Day on Campus”

Warning: The following contains adult (in this case, collegiate) language, along with gratuitous references to male and female genitalia.

“The Vagina Monologues: Facts vs. Fallacies”

The monologue describes how a 24-year-old woman plies a 16-year-old girl (she is 13 in the original version) with vodka and then sexually violates her. And in the original version, this monologue ended with the line: “If it was rape, it was a good rape.”

“V-Day Comes to New Orleans”

“Will You Be My Vagina-tine?”

“The Naked Truth on Campus”

“Feminist Causes Outbreak of Genital Irritation”

$nif, just how do you determine what is objectionable language, if you consider anything objectionable? Or, is it only Republicans that you find objectionable?

To be able to rummage through Denise's files for just a few minutes just to browse the titles on the folders?

I don't know. I might vote for Hilderbeast if she wins the nomination. I am waiting to see who gets the Democratic nomination, and then I'll see which candidate is offering the best deal for me.

Today is going to be very beautiful, perfect convertible weather.

Do you have the day off? I hope so. Have a good day.

I expect to see Barack Obama wrap up the Democratic nomination sometime in the next 30 days. I honestly don't see any way that Hillary Clinton can get the nomination at this point...Obama should trounce Clinton in N.C. and he'll lose by less than 10 points in Indiana, he just has to run out the clock at this point to get the delegates he needs.

I'm enjoying watching the racists and race-baiters scream in frustration that nothing they throw at Obama appears to be sticking. I was in a waiting room yesterday forced to watch Fox & friends and I noticed a lot of older people in the room disagreeing with the lofty pronouncements of the Fox airheads that Obama was "doomed".

Should be an interesting general election.

I hate it that you have to work. Hopefully you can get off early. It should be in the 70's clear sky. Perfect day. I know your allergies get to you, but cheat just a little.

Have a good day.

Not only do you mention BPR or me in nearly every post of yours, but recently you've highlighted me in every post of yours (while pretending to be a doctor) and dedicated an entire blog to me ("race baiting," another one of your obsessions). Your frequently denigrating Southern Baptists is indicative of another obsession developing, or more likely, emerging, despite your attempts to hide your innate hatefulness. Truly sad.

Your effete efforts to reduce the criticism of Obama to "because he's black" (a little race-baiting yourself) defies logic since some of the articles have been written by "black" authors, such as Anthony B. Bradley and Larry Elder, and many different reasons have been given for opposing Obama (which in no way equates to hating him, as you illogically claim).

Like any presidential candidate, Obama should be examined, and when he is, he is found wanting.

Armstrong Williams: "Obama was given an 8 out of 100 lifetime rating (meaning he is one of the most liberal lawmakers) by the American Conservative Union, a conservative group that issues a report card on the voting records of members of Congress. Likewise, the liberal group, Americans for Democratic Action, rated Obama’s voting record in the Senate at 97.5 percent, near perfection for liberal Democrats. The National Journal even named Obama the most liberal Senator in 2007."

La Shawn Barber: "Digging Up Democratic Skeletons"

[V]irtually every significant racist in American political history was a Democrat. – Bruce Bartlett

Larry Elder: “Obama or Not, America Still a ‘Racist Nation’”

"Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., a black Clinton supporter, explained why whites vote for Obama. According to Cleaver, 'This is (their) chance to demonstrate that we have been able to get this boogeyman called race behind us. And so they are going to vote for him, whether he has credentials or not, whether he has any experience …'"

Former Democratic vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro, another Clinton supporter: "If Obama was a white man," said Ferraro, "he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman of any color, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."

In 1911, former slave Booker T. Washington prophetically wrote about "black leaders" like Cleaver, Jackson and Sharpton:

"There is (a) class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. … There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."

Larry Elder: “Obama: ‘Bitterly’ Out of Touch”

"Obama apparently believes one embraces religion out of bitterness, not due to spirituality, values, belief in or the acceptance of and submission to a higher power. Perhaps this explains why Obama clung to the Trinity Church of Christ for 20 years, with its anti-Semitic, anti-white, anti-American, conspiracy-believing pastor, Jeremiah Wright. If Obama attended the church out of 'bitterness,' surely, his reasoning goes, others do so as well."

Thomas Sowell about Obama: "Everything seems new to those too young to remember the old and too ignorant of history to have heard about it."

Abortion stops a baby's beating heart!

I seem to remember, back on one of Buzzard's blogs, someone rea;;y ripping into Southern Baptists that dared voice their belief that global warming should be addressed and is a problem. I think this person even spoke of "closing seminaries" and "brainwashed congregations." Let's see if I can find the quote: Aaahaaa! Here it is; by a former Dr. Denise Conner.

"Why did the SBC reverse its June 2007 position that questioned the scientific belief of some that humans are largely to blame for global warming and that increased regulation of greenhouse gases will hurt the poor?

"The bottom line [$$$$] is that the mega-churches have to retain their memberships to stay relevant, and for that they have to stay in tune with their [brainwashed] congregations."

The green leader is the 25-year-old son of a former president of the convention who had an epiphany while attending a class at a Baptist theological seminary: "The Lord spoke to me in that class through my theology professor, who said we receive revelation from God not only through His word, the Bible, but also through His creation, nature. When we destroy His creation, it is no different to tearing a page from the Bible."

[I'd close that seminary if this is indicative of theological soundness]"

Kevin "Hack" King
(anyone want two dogs???)

So, you agree with Snif's saying "Bearing false witness is a core tenet of your Southern Baptist filth...err, "faith"... so I understand your need to lie incessantly"?

Provide the PROOF that "bearing false witness is a core tenet" of any Christian faith.

Does BPR "lie incessantly"?

Are Southern Baptists "filth"?

I can back up my assessment of theological soundness. Can you?

I didn't speak of "closing seminaries." I made a conditional statement about one particular seminary, and the reason was not "their belief that global warming should be addressed and is a problem." Try re-reading my post and see if you can find the actual reason.

I can also give reasons for my other opinions, such as Al Gore's propaganda film being used to "brainwash" people into believing that another great flood is imminent.

If you want to think and consider the other side's arguments, then here's an interesting speech given to the National Press Club (but not by Wright).

"The Case for Skepticism on Global Warming by Michael Crichton

"Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had.

"Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science, consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.

"And furthermore, the consensus of scientists has frequently been wrong."

Strange, Mr. Starbucks likes my husband and myself, you know being SBC and all?

I think I have seen you but you haven't seen me. I don't think that you saw me at that time. Next time I will say hi.

BTW if you describe me, I know someone at the coffee meeting told you.

It may help if I show who said what by their quotes to avoid any confusion. BPR, you said,

"What is it with you, ever since you been hanging with Sniffls you attack me and Denise?

Why can't you just be glad that we are Christians? That is what it is all about."

QUESTION for you, BPR: Is quoting a person's own words EXACTLY as they wrote them an "attack?"

Is telling a person, YOU, that you scolded me on bringing race into an issue when you were actually reading DENISE Conner's words, an attack on you? Or was I correcting your attributing Conner's words to me?

Finally, is it okay for SOME people to say Southern Baptists have "brainwashed congregations," and their seminaries should be "closed" if they believe global warming is a problem we should deal with?

BPR, I challenge you to find any text I've typed attacking the Southern Baptist faith. I suggest that you turn to your editor and chief, Denise, and ask her why the hateful SBC speech. Again, you are pinning the tail on the wrong donkey.

As for us meeting, at this point, I don't see us having much of a conversation. But absolutely no ill will is wished to you or yours. I'm just saving us awkward moments.

First, no matter what I say it will be wrong. I don't know why you are so offended? All I said was I didn't know that you were black until about 3 weeks ago when my husband said why does he say we black men alot. I said I didn't know he was black. Nor do I care.

I don't care what anyone says about SBC, I'm Christian that is what matters. Wow, you love to argue. People say you are not like this in person.

Meet you, I didn't say I wanted to meet you. I said I have seen you, I know who you are, but you did not know who I was.

Conversation, wow Hack I can have a conversation with anyone, is that Christian love. You do go to Heritage don't you. That is a wonderful church. You couldn't have a conversation with me and you go there? I happen to like that church.

I can't go back you have 3 different names and the system does not bring up what you have written, except a few for Kevin King, so I can't show you. It's not my fault if it doesn't work. Try it.

Wow, the 3 people that know you that told me how nice you are I am going have to show them what you write to me.

You do insult Denise and myself, why don't you ask some of your friends other than Sniffles that can't stand me or her.

Having a great grandfather and grandfather who were ministers in black churches - my cousins and I have been discussing this 'interest' in Black Liberation Theology. The result. We have been exposed to BLT all of our lives! Without BLT, growing up in California, I would not have been exposed to the contribution of black Americans to our (American) history. We were taught this in Sunday School so that the 'marginalization' of 'blacks' would be buffeted by the 'truth' of who we are and what we have contributed. My mother says that in church, the sermons correlated the gospel with man's responsibility to his fellow man and the community. We never equated this with 'hating' whites. Our history always stressed the contribution that 'whites' made to make our liberation in this country a reality. Black schools, on the whole, were founded by 'white' Christian churches that believed in the power of education in giving all people an opportunity to compete in a democracy. The persons who made the Underground Railroad' a success were 'white' people. In California, I experienced an integrated education - and had no fear of 'white' people - and certainly no reason to 'hate' those whites that I came in contact with. I, and most Christians who were raised in a 'black' church - never felt that we were 'taught' to hate 'whites' by the leaders of our churches. My fear was based on experiences that I had with individual 'whites' that treated members of my family with violence. The 'black church' taught non-violence. . .long before Cone, Wright, or others began to label these concepts BLT.

David's Mom,

If Obama is elected POTUS, (God Forbid!), and he pulls the troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, he will not have ended the war that the terrorists have waged on America. He will simply have provided them an opportunity to expand it and, possibly, bring it to America.
No one wants war - it's a necessary evil.

Tell us, oh wise one, exactly how is BHO going to bring down the costs of gas and food?

A quote from the above book-

"You find that people who believe it's the government's job to make incomes more equal, are far less likely to give their money away.

The second myth is that people with the most money are the most generous. But while the rich give more in total dollars, low-income people give almost 30 percent more as a share of their income."

I tend to judge people not just by what they've done, but what they've done compared to what they could do.

I enjoy watching you pretend to follow Christ's teachings.

The only one bearing false witness is YOU! Provide proof of your libel.

"I understand your need to lie incessantly." Did you diagnose your own problem with projection?

Dr. Robert Feldhaus: "Only when a person becomes aware of the things they have been hiding from themselves can they realistically be asked to take responsibility for what they are doing."

but I have read the entire 92 pages of the Republican platform {national platform since the local GOP doesn't feel the need to tell the voters what they see as the goal of government} and have to say that it reads very nicely. I find that I agree with some of the goals in the platform. As I said below to NUK...I think that we generally agree with the goals for our national government, it is the way we go about achieving those goals that causes us problems. For example, I believe in peace through a non-aggressive foreign policy as opposed to peace through continuing displays of strength. I believe in people taking personal responsibility for their lives, but do not feel that "cutting people loose" to fend for themselves is the way to go about achieving that. Now you can read into that anything you want (as I am sure you will), but I prefer to search for solutions to common concerns through dialog and consensus building. Keep the faith.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

I don't see why the Republicans need 92 pages. I can sum up their platform in a few short sentences!

1. Might makes right.
2. It's okay to hate them...they're DIFFERENT. P.S. Jesus hates them, too.
3. Greed is good. Sex is bad.
4. That which does not kill us within, say, 30 days is safe and wholesome.
5. Science is just a theory.
6. Zygote is too hard to spell. Therefore, "Baby" is a perfectly acceptable synonym.
7. It's okay if we do it. It's not okay if you do it.
8. Security is more important than freedom. You should expect to give up some freedoms for increased security.

Neville Chamberlain tried it & it didn't work. And how many U.N. resolutions did Saddam Hussein ignore?

"One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!" ~ Sir Winston Churchill

"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Let that be realised; no survival." ~ Sir Winston Churchill

"Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization.... But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science." ~ Sir Winston Churchill

"Democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man." ~ Ronald Reagan

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." ~ Ronald Reagan

"Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong." ~ Ronald Reagan ("peace through strength")

"I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph." ~ Margaret Thatcher

"There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors... I mean it."
"To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects." ~ Margaret Thatcher

"The price of greatness is responsibility.... Tyranny is our foe, whatever trappings or disguise it wears, whatever language it speaks, be it external or internal, we must forever be on our guard, ever mobilised, ever vigilant, always ready to spring at its throat." ~ Sir Winston Churchill

"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last." ~ Sir Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill was referring to Hitler and the Third Reich. Unfortunately, our toppling Saddam from power and wading into a quagmire of our own making comes nowhere near the righteousness of Winston Churchill standing up to the Third Reich. Churchill and the English people had the courage to face the military superiority of the German war machine. If they had not stood their ground, things would have turned out very differently for the entire world.

Thatcher's quote is a different matter. I'm no politician, but it seems to me that building a consensus is what democracy is all about. You would never know it from the last seven years, so I can see why you find that particular quote so appealing.

Luckily, there are other bloggers on this website who actually try to build a consensus. I'm siding with them.

Denise,

Don't pay any mind to dollar et. al., since they can't directly contradict many of your assertions and instead have to mock the messenger.

Your posts are very detailed and well linked to items which support your positions, their posts are linked to sarcasm and indifference. So pay them no mind.

Now that even Obama is distancing himself from the racist that is and was his reverend for 20 years, I'm looking forward to how they handle that little diddy. I mean, they repeatedly talked about how Wright's message was not that big a deal, and then boom, Obama throws his uncle under the bus, like he did his typical white grandmother.

So don't let them get to you. I know I enjoy your blogs.

Thanks for the kind words! I've enjoyed your GREAT posts, especially the one about the inkblot. Obama keeps HOPING that people lack the discernment to connect the dots that tie his radical past with his liberal voting record. He's not a blank slate -- it's filled with far left ideology, but people are too busy crying "Change!" to read what's plainly written. Reminds of the Romans' "bread and circuses."

The only one bearing false witness is YOU! Provide proof of your libel.

He said PBR was bearing false witness because she claims Obama is "obsessed" with making statements against this country and certain people. Unless there is some proof of Obama doing such and obsessed with it, I'd say sniffles is actually correct.

It's not hard to be against Obama without having to make up BS like he's anti-American or a Muslim or other nonsense. I wish some of his most fervent opponents would try that instead of fantasy.

you and I disagree on bunches of things, but on this one thing we are actually right in line. Our political system would be well served if people stuck to the matters at hand and did not wander off into fantasy land. It is hard enough making up one's mind without having to sift through the chaff to find the wheat. Honest and substantive dialog is the only way for our political system to function as it should. We may disagree as to means, but our goals are the same. Keep the faith.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.
