Does this really belong on the front page?

Are you saying or agreeing that if a person offers a differing opinion, they should move to a "People's Republic?"

Obviously, you don't get it. I am echoing your attitude back at you so you can see how it feels. It's really your position, reflecting back, so snug that puppy on, lace it up nice and tight, (to quote a Beatles song) 'Cause Baby, it's You.

This has been a topic before but it reinforces several facts.

1. Hawaii Tribune-Herald is biased towards the far right wing (Republican).
2. This was a promotional article for the guy, with new age christian support (Republican).
3. The specific platform is in line with Fox Noise (Republican).
4. The guy is an attention whore, and he is being well fed.
5. The point should be his 1st amendment rights does not give him the right to harm others. The size of the display is a traffic hazard on a very busy street, he has no consideration for others, or general civility, with total disrespect for the community.
6. He will wonder why he should be called a haole.

Interesting how this "journalist" emphasized what a failure the "Take Back Lincoln Park" social media effort has been. No doubt, the fancy LED signs will be next. Remember, look at him. In his not so humble opinion, believes he represents true christianity (Republican). Maybe he does.

"Aloha also means goodbye. Aloha!"

7. County is very "tolerant" with their "spot enforcement".

Obviously, you don't get it. I am echoing your attitude back at you...

Sugarloaf,
Let's look at the progression of our comments. You asked me:
Are you saying or agreeing that if a person offers an opinion different than the mainstream, they should be sent to a mental hospital?

I replied:
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but they're not entitled to express it in any way they see fit.

To which you responded:
I don't know about a mental hospital for HIM, but I know of somebody who really needs to find another country

I said Mr. Borden was entitled to his opinion. You told me to move to a "Peoples Republic." If you were echoing back my attitude your response would have been that although you don't agree with my comment, I too am entitled to my opinion, just like I said Mr. Bordon was.

Now if I were to make my comments on a street corner with graphic depictions of Mr. Borden as he might look after being drawn and quartered, or other condition in which he is not whole and healthy, then yes, you can go ahead and tell me where to go. Especially if children are present.

Some humor and a little food for thought.

Posted from Dave Griffith

On her radio show, Dr. Laura said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Schlesinger, written by a US man, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as quite informative:

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.

1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?

7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your adoring fan,

James M. Kauffman,

Ed.D. Professor Emeritus,

Dept. Of Curriculum, Instruction, and Special Education University of Virginia

P.S. (It would be a damn shame if we couldn't own a Canadian.)

I guess you won't ever get it, so I'll leave it at that, well plus this:

How did it feel to get the same sort of treatment you proposed for Mr. Borden? Judging from your hyper-defensive response, you didn't like it, so let this be a lesson learned. Respect other people's rights as you would have them respect yours. Simple lesson - learn it!!!!!

I take it you have no problem with the slaughter of the pre-born babies, as long as it's kept under wraps and not exposed for what it really is, but guess what - Mr. Borden and his rights under Article I, BOR (as well as myself) don't agree with you. Let the sunshine in and expose the infanticide for what it is. If I was a believer, I would say "God Bless Mr. Borden", but since I am not, I'll just say "Bless Mr. Borden". Just think of it as Ike forcefully showing the German people what really went on in the death camps. Don't want to see it, don't do it.

Have a great day.

Great idea! Let's start our own campaign right across the street from Bordon -- KCat even provided a handy list of possible protests. Ownership of slaves is clearly protected by the First Amendment, right?

Excellent.

Would Pahoated like to start this?

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

I'll let you know after I receive the same treatment, instead of whatever that all was.
Punaweb is famous for it's tangents, but that one actually reached escape velocity.
