Which is more evil?

Hillary wants to pass a no-burn flag law instead of amending the Constitution. So which is more evil? At least the Republican nutjobs acknowlege that there has to be an amendment to mess with freedom of speech. They are sociopaths for suggesting it, however.

Hillary wins the blind patriot points with out putting real teeth into it. Is manipulation less evil than force?

Griff · 12-07-2005, 06:13 PM

The Dems need to not run someone this time whose followers "know" (s)he doesn't really believe the nonsense (s)he spouts.

Hill's goal here is to force the Rs to spend stomping up-and-down time on an issue that doesn't really resonate with the public. And also to get them mad at her. If they are mad at her, she will win.

I didn't read Sun Tsu but I've spent time with people who did

I'm not sure on this one. I think getting your opposition mad at you might be a bad idea. Making your oppo made gives them a reason to come out and vote against you, even if they don't like their particular candidate. You want your opposition to be apathetic and disinterested, and to stay at home on election day.

Until I read UT's post I was thinking "rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic"

Now I realize it is more of the same political shenanigans. Ugh. Still, how about stirring up some real shit, instead of these red herrings? (Hilary)

BTW, I met Hilary once and she has back. All kinds of back. She's got back she hasn't used yet.

The only way to win political office in this country is to make sure and divert the public from anything bearing even the most remote similarity to an actual issue. Make shit up, blame it on the other guy, sit back and bake until done.

I think UT's got this one right.

Rap is not music.

Entertainment? Yes.

Art form? Possibly.

Music? No.

But thanks for the link. Now I know.

xoxoxoBruce · 12-13-2005, 07:24 PM

I second that.

Yeah, well true. But the joke would have been too cumbersome if I tried to acknowledge that fact.

In fact, I question its entertainment potential.

They're both evil. One of the things the flag stands for is my right to burn a flag if I feel like it (assuming it's my own flag)

12-09-2005, 12:34 AM

I think that all flags wrapped around politicians should be burned!

tw · 12-09-2005, 01:51 AM

Flags are essential. We must have a flag so that cannon fodder can wrap themselves in it. We need our cannon fodder properly directed. Every nation needs cannon fodder from time to time. Don't burn flags. Otherwise we would never have tools to convince cannon fodder that they are the patriots.

This safely posted here because no one in the Cellar would be foolish enough to become cannon fodder. I could be wrong.
