  tcm3c...@gmail.com, I also wish you blessings and also I wish you &lt;br&gt; Godspeed as you try to learn why the liberal protests at Calvin were &lt;br&gt; wrong, because they were based on faulty logic and lies about Bush. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Yes, I want discussion of ideas, and that will be continued on &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=nofollow href=&quot;http://groups-beta.google.com/group/God-Is-Not-A-Leftist-Calvin-Protester&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;

  John and Mark, &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;I do wish you both blessings. It&#39;s hard for me to see both of you say &lt;br&gt; you want discussion, then when someone begins, there are only attacks &lt;br&gt; in response. What baffles me about the responses from both of you is &lt;br&gt; statements that imply that you know my mind better than I &lt;br&gt; do--outlandish and disappointing. I&#39;m referring to statements like, &amp;quot;be

  Dear Everyone, &lt;br&gt; Well, it&#39;s been real. This forum was originally started as a place &lt;br&gt; where protesters could dialogue and organize for an event, and that &lt;br&gt; event is now over. If you all would like to keep...I wouldn&#39;t call it &lt;br&gt; dialoguing exactly...sending messages back and forth, I suggest that &lt;br&gt; one of you start a new forum or Google group. Truth be told, as

  &amp;quot;DEE&amp;quot; says &amp;quot;JohnC, I&#39;m just curious -- I assume you are a young, &lt;br&gt; strapping guy. If &lt;br&gt; Iraq was such a good idea, why aren&#39;t you over there?&amp;quot; &lt;br&gt; &amp;quot;DEE&amp;quot;, you make one false assumption and then fall into faulty &lt;br&gt; logic. &lt;br&gt; &amp;quot;DEE&amp;quot;, no one cares whether I served or not...they want Bush to &lt;br&gt; protect the American people...and he is doing a masterful job!

  tcm3crew, how dare you pass along vile, unproven rumors and gossip &lt;br&gt; about others? What kind of a Christian does that? &lt;br&gt; I am talking about the failed IDEAS of the liberal Democrat party. I &lt;br&gt; never said that all people who the press calls &amp;quot;Republican&amp;quot; are &lt;br&gt; perfect like Jesus. Of course they are human and they fail and sin. But

  David Domke appreciates your commitment to your liberal beliefs and &lt;br&gt; then posts a biased article with many falsehoods in it, to try to prop &lt;br&gt; up the leftists at Calvin and their politicizing of the Bush &lt;br&gt; commencement speech. Stop trying to say Bush is not a Christian just &lt;br&gt; because you disagree with him politically. He is pro-life and working

  <description>
  For the record, the statement alluding to the idea that Bush was the &lt;br&gt; sole provider and diseminator of intelligence regarding WMDs (from &lt;br&gt; tcm3crew) is simply a clear detatchment from reality. &lt;br&gt; One more thing, don&#39;t start using arguements about abortion rates going &lt;br&gt; up and somehow linking that to Bush and saying that it makes him less

  John, it&#39;s not cut-and-dried on either side. Everyone&#39;s in the &lt;br&gt; political game and pretending your side is clean and the other isn&#39;t is &lt;br&gt; just not true. Here are a couple of articles that prove this point. &lt;br&gt; While I am progressive, I am not blindly behind one party or another. &lt;br&gt; They both have problems, they both spin/lie/shift the facts. While you

  There&#39;s spin everywhere, and anti-abortion groups use it, too. This &lt;br&gt; response from the pro-life author concerning anti-abortions groups&#39; &lt;br&gt; attacks on him shows that it&#39;s just not a simple thing. I still haven&#39;t &lt;br&gt; seen a response from the anti-abortion groups on this article. Please &lt;br&gt; remember that the author of this article is pro-life.

  <description>
  John, most of the quotes you&#39;re using from Dems and others concerning &lt;br&gt; WMD were spoken when those people thought they could trust the &lt;br&gt; information that that Bush was giving them. We now know, especially via &lt;br&gt; this month&#39;s revealing memos from London (Downing St. memos) that both &lt;br&gt; Blair and Bush had an agenda to attack Iraq, but because there was

  I agree that Bush is an awful president, but do you really need to be &lt;br&gt; so insulting? Using words like &amp;quot;scum&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;losers&amp;quot; really doesn&#39;t help &lt;br&gt; anyone.
