I agree 100%.<BR/><BR/>Jordon, I don't think Babe ever had a good career,. but his stats for Dallas when he took over before Aikman was drafted were among the worst I have ever seen. It was the worst case of "in over your head" I ever saw.<BR/><BR/>Of course, Babe was never supposed to be great, like Mirer was. Mirer would be like Judge Roberts flaming out as a justice, good stats and pedigree with little major leage ability.DJ Wordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597363296679699935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061650.post-1130711856846785092005-10-30T17:37:00.000-05:002005-10-30T17:37:00.000-05:00Andy (or Bruce), I find the final few sentences a ...Andy (or Bruce), I find the final few sentences a similar frustration to many I know and they are not only a nice sentiment, but very well spoken.<BR/><BR/>The only disagreement I have is with the statement that "if he were to attack democrats, he would be labeled as a right-wing conspiracist trying to bring down democracy and establish facism."<BR/><BR/>This is terribly blind to the fact that if a democrat loyalist were to say similar things about Republicans, he would also be branded similarly. It happens daily. I can point you to many places.<BR/><BR/>Neither side can have hard things to say about the other side without risking attack. That is the same on either side. There is no difference except the lens through which we look.<BR/><BR/>However, to respond to the charge that saying bad things about the left brings about a backlash I turn to the horrible creatures of talk radio and Fox (Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly), they say these things daily without fear of reprisal (which I wish would happen to these men and their horrible shows).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for coming and sharing.DJ Wordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597363296679699935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061650.post-1130650507473640572005-10-30T01:35:00.000-04:002005-10-30T01:35:00.000-04:00I haven't read the linked post yet, but just to of...I haven't read the linked post yet, but just to offer an idea on Dobson and company's demand for an evangelical appointee (although I am not sure if they have demanded it, it wouldn't surprise me if they did): It is not a violation of the constitution to ask and push for an appointee of a certain judicial philosophy or worldview among the qualified candidates. In fact, I would hope that anyone interested in the direction of the SCOTUS would let their voice be heard to those they helped elect in Washington. If the voters don't, then they will have no room to complain should their desire not be heard. If they are saying, disregard everything other than religious views or judicial philosophy, then that would seem different to me.<BR/><BR/>I probably haven't expressed this very well, so I will check back in a few days to clarify some of these ideas. I see your point in the extreme, but not in the realm I described.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969213373441856698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061650.post-1130543256491120722005-10-28T19:47:00.000-04:002005-10-28T19:47:00.000-04:00Thank you for reminding us what is really importan...Thank you for reminding us what is really important in this debate, where did Babe's career go bad exactly? Same with Rick Mirer's? How many fantasy pools did I blow because this was Mirer's breakout year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17444588183189394912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061650.post-1130501691496814872005-10-28T08:14:00.000-04:002005-10-28T08:14:00.000-04:00I recently blogged about the "strict constructioni...I recently blogged about the "strict constructionists" that are hypocritical in ignoring the Constitution's 6th Article that says, “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”<BR/>If they were so into strictly interpreting that Constitution, then why is Dobson and Sekulow et.al. so intense on demanding the White House appoint an evangelical to the court?<BR/><BR/>Thanks also for the link to Will's post. I missed that one, and it is so very spot-on. It seems to me that the hypocrisy in the Religious Right is due primarily to their will to power. I'm amazed hom much "the ends justify the means" for those who are called to live with Christian integrity! They are so convinced that their political ends are righteous that they allow for all sorts of morally questionable (at at times, simply morally WRONG!) means in order to get there.Bob Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08576734261775426385noreply@blogger.com
