		<description>&quot;I believe I like little boys and should bugger then whenever possible.&quot; -The Livewire as Kevin.

I&#039;d not heard that Bristol and Levi split.  Maybe Levi should have been more responcible instead of posting here.

Kevin, so when condoms fail, when the pill fails, when nuvaring fails, does that mean we should scrap sex education completely?  This seems to be your arguement.

Unfortunately both of them were young and more full of passion than common sense.  Personally I wish both of them well and hope their private lives continue to be, well, private.</description>

		<description>Bristol and Levi Split!  Yup.....predicted that one; how long it would take was the only question... (especially given that Palin didn&#039;t become VP)  So where is &quot;doing the right thing&quot; now?  Unmarried teenager who is now saddled with a baby (even though she has family support, it&#039;s her responsibility - her early adult youth gone forever).  So much for abstinence only (which Bristol said on national TV doesn&#039;t work) in lieu of real sex education.

&quot;I believe Marriage is a sacred bond between 2 unwilling teenagers&quot; Tina Fey as Sarah Palin</description>

		<description>Rush delivers a speech that is a commentary on the Obama agenda which is diametrically opposes to conservative principals that  raises the liberals ire and he is attacked for it. Jack Cafferty has made a career out of attacking Republicans but nobody attacks him.</description>

		<description>Yeah, how so? Why is calling a homosexual relationship a &quot;marriage&quot; somehow an intrinsic American ideal? I believe marriage was created by God for heterosexuals. I believe God blesses same-sex covenants like those between David and Jonathan, Naomi and Ruth, Daniel and Ashpenaz, etc. But a same-sex covenant has a different dynamic and a different set of responsibilities than a heterosexual marriage--hence the difference in names. I think same-sex covenants are separate but better.</description>

		<description>Great website.  AS to normally rational, intelligent people who buy the leftist garbage, I&#039;ve decided that they look at politics as a hobby.  It&#039;s an escape where they can take out their brains and play with them for a while without having to fire the synapses of judgment and rationality in their normally well-organized brains.</description>

		<description>I think there&#039;s a fringe of the right that engages in vitriol and distortions. I think hatred, vitriol, and distortion are mainstream in the left. The leftists who post on this blog validate that  belief daily.</description>

		<description>Golly, I despise Gavin Newsom. I am for full equality, Gavin. I am for all the ideals America was based on. I am against gay marriage. It is not the same as interracial marriage. Homosexuals and heterosexuals are different and their relationships have different dynamics. Civil unions can establish legal equality. Homosexuals can then make those unions separate but better.</description>

		<description>Well gillie, Iâ€™m so sorry but you will have to take an â€˜Fâ€™.  If itâ€™s one thing I canâ€™t tolerate, itâ€™s a student who resorts to projection as a defense.  
This teaching moment was meant to have you perform some critical thinking and analysis by actually having you consider the distortions and weaknesses of your side, which you readily indicated were present.  But your Google search indicated, to your surprise I guess, that there were none.  Itâ€™s interesting that you visit a site such as this, I assume to gather information that doesnâ€™t coincide with your current knowledge base so you may come to a deeper understanding of an issue.  I think that is a wonderful thing to do, and I do it myself to help sort it all out.  It appears you really visit here to reinforce your groupthink mindset and are not interested in pursuing a greater understanding.  That is a shame, and I hope that you reconsider that your unwavering opinion is likely a deeper rooted psychological difficulty, one that in all likelihood you may not be aware.  Thatâ€™s the way it is with polarization and groupthink.  They are very nasty phenomena that afflict many.  But keep your chin up and keep battling, and perhaps with some luck the pharmaceuticals will find a solution in pill form.  Weâ€™ll give it another try sometime.</description>
