Posted on 05/09/13 at 10:25 am in response to Opposing same-sex marriage has made Pastor Jerry McAfee a lightning rod

For a man who preaches the Bible, you would think he would have heard of non-violence and turning the other cheek. Sadly, what he preaches is cherry-picking and hypocrisy.

Posted on 05/03/12 at 04:27 pm in response to Tea Party rally in Brainerd draws more than 50 'unhappy' people

Yes, diverse in a "white people over 50 plus one high school senior" kind of way.

"I don't know what world these people are living in." We're in this world, Ms. Meeks- and we haven't seen you for such a long time!

Posted on 09/19/11 at 07:01 pm in response to What Tea Party supporters think about global warming

"The point of my comment was to refute the idea of consensus. Until we can agree to discuss the issue, how can we hope to move forward?" Two points: the consensus in the scientific community is roughly 97%. Since it is not unanimous, you will of course find exceptions, so in quoting one your argument has no traction since it's never been a question of unanimous consensus. Second point: who cares what economists, physicists, neurologists, carpenters or actuaries think of the science of...

"Reform" and "cutting spending" are not synonymous. The GOP barely tried for and ended up with none of the former.

Posted on 07/19/11 at 06:17 pm in response to Kline: 'Stop playing politics' on GOP's Cut, Cap, Balance plan

Any bill that has no chance of really being passed into law is playing politics in and off itself. This bill will not make it through the Senate, and anyone with half a brain assumes the President would veto it. Kline doesn't want the President playing politics with the GOP's playing politics. As the other poster pointed out: this is hypocrisy in its purest form.

Posted on 11/05/10 at 04:49 pm in response to For battered Democrats, Mark Dayton is the last man standing

It's odd to say Dayton is the last man standing when EVERY statewide office (Attorney General, State Auditor, Secretary of State) was won by the DFL. My suspicion is that a lot of DFL votes were focused in a relatively few districts: the excess DFL votes would factor in a statewide election but not in other districts. Does anyone recall who was in charge of redistricting in 2000? The results of this election point to flagrant gerrymandering.

Posted on 09/03/10 at 12:53 pm in response to A bus gap: Are fancy suburban bus lines taking taxpayers for a ride?

"Politics also played a part. Conservative forces normally hostile to government subsidies have been strangely silent as Republican areas in the southern and western suburbs benefit disproportionally."

AKA, nothing new under the sun.

"Dang. If there's one thing social engineers can't stand it's populations who insist on being free men."

Dang if there's one thing Dennis can't stand is the fact that suburbs are the result of social engineering, as argued (by a Libertarian!) in the very article above.

Posted on 08/11/10 at 05:03 pm in response to A night with the Kelliher campaign: She has a big smile, but her eyes are not smiling

"If you talked to ordinary citizens, many viewed MAK as elitist -- funding lavish arts projects and stadiums while ignoring the basic needs of homeless vets and seniors in nursing homes. They saw Kelliher as self-indulgent while others are hungry and as putting forth only feeble and phony efforts to protect the most vulnerable."

Right...

Actually, if you talked to ordinary citizens and mentioned the name Margaret Anderson Kelliher the most likely response would be "who?".
