Relmor,
This is one of my favorite Bruce Cockburn songs and kind of fitting for today - the way that SIRI is trading....

The Charity Of Night (1996)
Sunset is an angel weeping
Holding out a bloody sword
No matter how I squint I cannot
Make out what it's pointing toward
Sometimes you feel like you live too long
Days drip slowly on the page
You catch yourself
Pacing the cage
I've proven who I am so many times
The magnetic strip's worn thin
And each time I was someone else
And every one was taken in
Powers chatter in high places
Stir up eddies in the dust of rage
Set me to pacing the cage
I never knew what you all wanted
So I gave you everything
All that I could pillage
All the spells that I could sing
It's as if the thing were written
In the constitution of the age
Sooner or later you'll wind up
Pacing the cage
Sometimes the best map will not guide you
You can't see what's round the bend
Sometimes the road leads through dark places
Sometimes the darkness is your friend
Today these eyes scan bleached-out land
For the coming of the outbound stage
Pacing the cage
Pacing the cage
Interesting lyrics. Ive never heard of him. I dont really listen to christian music, as it gets tedious trying to see if they have it right or not. :) A lot of christians who dont even know whats in the bible. Like being a sirius stockholder and never reading an SEC filing, or looking at a chart, etc....
I think this whole thing about a government supported stimulus package is ridiculous...We have pregnant children of politicians. Politicians should not be soliciting sex in airport bathrooms. Governor's spouses getting caught in prostitution sting operations. I think "Smilin' Bob has gone too far.....
Oh... what's that?......not that type of Stimulus package....
Never mind.....
Relmor,
This is another Bruce Cockburn song I like. Can you pick up on any Christian influences in this one? Bruce Cockburn is getting up there in age - he was born in 1945 and he's in his mid 60's....still writing new music and touring.

Life Short Call Now (2006)Lyrics:
L ron N ron every kind of ron con
Neocon old con got to put the brakes on
Slow down fast
Lights out veins plugged zap it with another drug
Genejacker pharma thug say hello to superbug
Slow down fast
Shills and hawkers and rockers with walkers
Bombs in the lockers and brain dead mockers
Slow down fast
One-eyed sun leering through the haze
Hordes of loveless marching while the little drummer plays
Nail in the coffin rats in the maze
Dancing arm in arm towards the looming end of days
Got to slow down
Oil wars water wars tv propaganda whores
Fire alarm met with snores no one gets what' gone before
Slow down fast
Flagwave hammer slave gonna be a close shave
Stay brave jump the grave got to save what we can save
Slow down fast
Got to slow down fast
Slow down fast
CSIS won't you tell me what you've got on me?
Lets see conservative view;
1) Do whatever it takes to go after our own resourses to be less dependant on others for our energy needs, until something new can takeover that dependancy.
2) Care more about people then some seal or fish or other animal.
3) Buy American, But if you dont then dont piss and moan about the economy or if companies out-sourse because your dumb ass wont buy their product because of the price.
4) Protect the most innocent. A human life should not just be killed because it is a inconvenience to someone for 9 months. Conservatives are pro choice also we just believe that choice was made before having sex which was to use birth control or not to. That after that the choice nolonger just concerns them.
5) The death penalty, thats right kill the people that have shown and proven themselves to be a parasite to the human race.
Now the Liberial view:
1) Do everything possible to stop us from being less dependant, that way the high price of fuel will drive us to find other ways faster. Be damed to all the damage that causes the economy. We care about "global warming", oh I'm sorry that has now changed to "cilmate change" (do you think anyone will catch the fact that we just changed that because we now think that what we are doing will cause the temperature to go down causing a new Ice age).
2) The human race be damed as long as the animals are safe.
3) Buy whatever it does not matter and if it does, that still does not mean we cant piss and moan about it. What is good for us is not good for anyone else.
4) Kill the most innocent because if is a inconvenience to someone else it was not their fault they got themselves into it. Ho and by the way number 5)
5) Save the killers. Babies we can kill but people that have been around that have proven themselves to be not worth having a life we need to sqave.
Now you tell me which view sounds retarded and for those that want to know retarded actually did mean to be a hinderence.
i dont have time to argue with conservatives, ive been down that road. So the guys at the alamo were conservatives? interesting. Its pretty simple conservatives had 8 years to show how they could make america so much better. but guess what? the world only got worse with your so called conservatism. Now u are assigned to sit on the sidelines and bitch liek a little babey who just lost his ball for not playing nice. You are all RETARDED. specially choirgirl. Not that there's anything wrong with being retarded of course.
Moron, stupid and idiot were old ways of describing retarded people, well, now it is mentally handicapped, because it is more politically correct, ok, its actually mentally challenged?
So if someone is acting retarded....how do you correctly say they are acting stupid...if stupid is what retarded people used to be called.
Stop it! you are acting different than I act!
John,
I'm actually a liberal but agree with your assessment of us liberals to some extent. With that being said, I wholeheartedly disagree that we need more babies on this planet that have no means of survival. Hence pro choice makes more sense than having welfare take care of our youth. Just a thought.
Yep thats what happens when you show libs illogic and how dumb their point of view is, they run away stick their head back in the sand. Then they wonder why they get ripped apart and made to look like an idiot by a conservative.
By the way I could only emagine how bad of shape we would be in if there were no tax cuts in effect during the 911 attacks that cost us 1.5 to 2 trillion in our economy. Yea I guess you think Gores tax increases would have put us in better shape. Also as to your Gitmo comment, I cant wait for the next attack and we find out one of the people Obama set free was one involved in it. I know that is drastic but maybe then you dumb asses will get your heads out of your asses. We are not talking about a guy who robs a gas station.
Right now people are waiting years to be able to adopt. There are plenty of people that would be welling to take on that responsiblity. Now as for welfare it has already been proven if you dont want people to be on it then limit it, People will then find work. The proof is welfare reform, what happen is the rate of people on it went way down and they found work. It ended the cycle of cradle to grave welfare.
john i have never liked you, so why am i going to spend time writing out a 10 page response, you can shove it where the sun dont shine for all i care. people in american prisons are far more dangerous than any1 in gitmo.
Take the word conservatism out of the political arena, and it's a known and statistical FACT, that the majority of all Americans are far more conservative in their thinking and everyday life, than they are liberal. Amazing when you take "politics" out of the equation, and apply the true definition of conservative / conservatism...you find that the majority of the American people are actually conservative by nature.
For you liberals out there, don't worry, we conservatives won't ram religion down your throats the same way your liberal court Judges LEGISLATE from the bench on matters such as gay marriage. And don't worry, our schools and our media are doing a fine job programing the majortity of all parents, so that when their 7 yr old asks them a question such as this at a WalMart store for example..."Mommy,why are those two men holding hands and kissing each other"? The parents of today will be equiped to answer with the politically correct answer such as..."Don't worry sweety, those two men are only defying NATURE, but rest assured, not their govt.
I am so glad my kids are all grown. I would hate to have to raise kids in today's world. It wasn't too long ago when mothers giving birth out of wedlock was single digits. YEP. Single digits in the 1950's. Back to a time where people actually gave a damn about the family and family values...when compared to today.
I hear you and agree with welfare reform. I do think the "cradle to the grave" is more a result of poor parenting and lack of education. You can put viable options(adoption) our there but that doesn't do much unless these mothers are willing to break the bond with "their" child. There are too many variables involved with women who have children and whether it's feasible vs realistic for them to choose adoption. So it seems like I will agree to disagree. Kind of like saying b/c we the stock market etc out there that people will invest vs investing in a savings account that earns less than inflation.
I can tell you, because I have the time to take each part of your 10 page response apart and make you and your whole liberial ideology sound stupid maybe enough that you yourself, say I cant believe I am part of that ideology.
Case in point, how you can be in favor of killing babies and saving killers is beyond me, yet that is the liberials point of view. Make some sense of that one dip wad.
Here is common sense;
You can be in favor of abortion and in favor of the death penalty. Reason if you dont care about babies then you should not care about killers.
You can be in favor of the death penalty and against abortion. Reason one has proven himself to be a killer and the other is a innocent.
Now you try and make sense of your liberial position on those two.............Thats right you cant. Just like most of your positions and why you get your ass creamed when you debate a conservative.
Holy Sheep Shi* Batman, Hey Newman you have done it now. I logged on around 2:30 EST to read some posts and realize there are some strong opinions out there (here). I am thinking about cancelling my cable and just reading this forum, well worth it.....LOL
Demian, this pretty much is your fault you know. P.S. I see not everyone is behaving on the simply siri posting and I see a lot of the crap you wanted to stop.
I guess there is another Penis that I think is attractive that I forgot to mention - but this one came from global warming........and who's responsible for that?
