Hey, Scalia...this one's for you. :evilgrin:

:spray: :thumbsup:

Scalia and Thomas are getting on in years, and won't be around too terribly long.

Roberts and Alito we are stuck with. Reading the opinions and dissents of Alito are frightening. He is a hack and intellectually deficient.

...my legal career would be spent with Rehnquist as CJ of SCOTUS...:puke:

Now I realize that Rehnquist was nothing compared to the assholes on the court today.

or drops cork-legged. once tony's not there to tell him what to think he'll lose interest.

wish Scalia would go. He has done enough harm.

The only problem is getting him to share.

You could always send 'em coupons for them!

So I guess they are national, now? That's a real shame. Nobody needs that "sandwich".

i can't believe you are going there.

usually, it's reserved for use by anti-RKBA folks

nobody needs poutine, corned beef, kalbi, french fries, hamburgers, pizza, or beef bourgignon either

but thankfully we have the choice to indulge

That will be all.

i responded to the need canard.

you are now making a totally different statement

Upon looking at a weather report in February: "Oh crap, I sure don't need more snow right now."

Disney Channel launches another tween star: "Gak. Do we really need another Hannah Montana?"

You see evil librul anti-freedom conspiracies where there are none. Can't people just dislike things?

we certainly don't NEED this sandwich

we don't need poutine, corned beef,pickles, etc. either

You're in need of Daddy coming in and opening it to assure you there's nothing but clothes there.

when facts are not on your side.

...you're a Murka-hater! :crazy:

I mean, that bun really was only getting in the way, everyone knows that. :silly:

god knows *i* wouldn't eat it.

and of course nobody NEEDS it.

i just don't want anybody stepping in and trying to restrict their right to sell it

and don't say that's a false worry because we have already seen legislation like this. look at the recent anti-salt legislation proposed in NYC

i have NO idea what the poster wants. i know that MANY people DO want it to happen, many try, and i will fight them with every fiber of my soul

that's why i said it's not a baseless worry. it's already happening.

i most definitely would not accuse #17 of lying. i have no reason to doubt his/her truthfulness

And yet you jumped at him without thinking, like he was one of those big-gubmint nanny-state leftist effete latte-drinking Muslin-lovin' America-hatin' gun-grabbin' dirty librul homersexual hippies your ilk (two can play that game, see?) seem to hate so much.

Only to be proven wrong. Again.

if you have a difficulty with reading comprehension that's not my problem.

i responded to what he wrote

i was not proven wrong. i have NO problem admitting i am wrong. i've done it several times here.


he invoked the need canard. Sure, nobody NEEDS that sandwich.

nobody NEEDS olives, poutine, corned beef, bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon, etc.

Wow. That's not a nice thing to be accusing other posts of willy-nilly, now, is it?

Although, it is a good metaphor for those four in that both the sandwich and those justices are EXTREMELY bad for the health of America.

As long as I have credible proof they're eating it all. My mom always told me waste of food is a very bad thing.

GMTA! :evilgrin:

There's no bread! Who needs all that fiber anyway? Especially after eating this. :evilgrin:

whether is 'lock & load' or praying for death of someone they don't like (which suggesting eating this sandwich pretty falls in the same category).

I don't think this is very funny either. Let's not stoop to their level!

If I had a nickle for every time I said those words at a traffic stop...

Genuinely meant in good fun. I'll bet I wouldn't even get a vaffanculo out of Scalia.

... their deaths, which is what some RWers literally are doing (in churches, in prayer circles) with Obama et al. Nor does it sink to the level of actual death threats, which is something else the RW does that the Left does not.

Just looking at those food-like-substances makes me feel queasy in a way that gazing on an In'N'Out Burger or bowl of Dreyer's ice cream ever could, btw.

Isn't that the big stink about this sandwich - eating it is like a death wish as your arteries are clogged with fat & cholesterol while your blood pressure is raised because of all the excessive sodium.

Please tell me how that differs from praying for someone's death?

... and making a casual, if crass, joke.

It is the difference between saying in disgust, "Oh, drop dead" or "Dammit!" and getting down on your knees and praying with all your might: "Lord God of Hosts, you know I am a righteous person and try to do Your Will. (Named Person) is evil and breaks Your Commandments by upholding the murder of countless babies in the name of a woman's so-called right to choose. End this holocaust, I beseech Thee! Cause (Named Person) to die a painful and horrible death! Allow some righteous man to rise up to stop him in his tracks! Let his widow and children weep! Send him to rot in the flames of Hell for all eternity! In most merciful Jesus' name we pray, Amen."

THAT is an imprecatory prayer, and there are some examples in Psalms, which are now being dusted off by RWers to recite from the pulpit and in prayer circles in homes. Nice, huh? Unlike DUers, they really mean it.

If you still don't see the difference -- well, I am tempted to say "Oh, drop dead," but I hope you understand that it's a moment's irritation and I don't mean it literally. For the real thing, read below.

Does God answer prayers to do someone ill?

Ever since Pastor Wiley Drake declared not once, but three times, on national radio that he was praying for the death of President Obama, he has been trying to clarify. Yes, he really does want God to smite Obama. No, it’s not a partisan prayer. Yes, it’s in the Bible, he says, and no, he wasn’t kidding. He’s deadly serious. The former second vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention said he’s merely practicing the age-old art of “imprecatory prayer”—a theological term for praying that bad things happen to bad people.

Imprecatory prayer can turn a verse into curse through reciting Scripture aimed at one’s foes. Rather than asking for, say, healing or a win in the big game, these prayers request that God smite one’s enemies with—among other things—plagues, death and eternal damnation. >snip<

Derided by some as a bad Judeo-Christian imitation of voodoo, the literal practice of imprecatory prayer has some newfound fans. Gordon Klingenschmitt, a former U.S. Navy chaplain, posted an online prayer on April 25 that targeted his old foes, the Rev. Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State; and Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.

Klingenschmitt asked God “in Jesus’ name” to “cut off their descendents” and “replace them with Godly people.” The reason? Lynn and Weinstein had chided Klingenschmitt for not identifying himself as a former, not current, naval chaplain on his Web site. Klingenschmitt was discharged in 2007 for disobeying a superior and wearing his uniform at political demonstrations.

Weinstein, who is Jewish, sees imprecatory prayers as hate speech. >snip<

And while Lynn has been targeted before with prayers to do him ill, he nonetheless worries that religious figures who employ prayer as a weapon might inadvertently be condoning, or perhaps inciting, worse behavior. “With the climate in this country, these prayers are an invitation to violence,” said Lynn, an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ. “They provide moral legitimacy to extreme hatred.”

Yet God sometimes works in unusual ways, Drake and others say. His confession to praying against Obama came after Kansas abortionist George Tiller was gunned down in church. That killing, Drake said, was an answer to his prayers. <snip> “I never wish evil upon my enemies,” Klingenschmitt said, “but the justice of God is not evil.” >snip<

Weinstein has had graffiti sprayed on his house, dead animals left on his doorstep, and bullets shot through his windows. A little prayer, he said, doesn’t bother him. “They can keep doing it every hour of every day,” Weinstein said, “but it is hurtful, wrong, damaging, un-American, un-Jewish, un-Christian and, at the end of the day, un-human to be praying for harm and death.” >end<

and therefore that would make the comparison even more relevant. Perhaps one group sees prayer as their means to an end, even jokingly so whereas another group will find arteryu clogging foods as their means to an end.

America deserves whatever happens to it.
