    I've never understood this bit:

    On February 11, 2006, Vice President of the United States Dick Cheney accidentally shot Harry Whittington, a 78-year-old Texas attorney

    How can you accidentally should a lawyer? :confused:

      Irony denotes the unexpected. There is nothing unexpected about the current generation's disregard for morality. Rather, it is symbolic of our society's decline.

              No one is stopping him. In fact, you don't know that he doesn't chastise her in private. If he chooses to do so publicly, then he can chose to deal with the consequences, or be afraid of disapproval. I'm sure Cheney is quaking in his boots at the prospect.:rolleyes:

                            Why worry about immoral thoughts? Cheney is guilty of overt immoral actions by robbing the public coffers blind to reward his friends and eventually line his own pockets.

                            The evolution of the human genome is too important to be left to chance.

                                Come on, now. There are a handful of non-Muslims out there.

                                  you wrote: "Yes, as long as he keeps his unspeakably immoralities in the closet who are we to care? Now, thats what I call social progress!" You're the only one I've seen that describes Cheney as "unspeakably immoral" in regards to his relationship with his daughter. So you find it terrible that he would be criticized if he were to call his daughter a faggot in public? And you think that any criticism for this remark would be completely unwarrented? you said: "Tell that to George Allen or Rush Limbaugh or me for that matter. All branded with the scarlet 'R'." This cult of victimology that some of you consertives go on about is just pathetic!

                                        Yeah, because right-wingers don't support the death penalty or anything like that.

                                          Just criticizing his position as intolerant which, frankly, is the very definition of intolerance.
