Yeah, saw that when I went to Good News Cafe in East Atlanta for lunch the other day. I'll never be able to look at Smoltz the same way again. What an ass.

Well, MARTA sucks... and the traffic's a bitch. But don't brand the city based on some idiot athletes. We're 80% Dem around here and it's a nice place to live.

5. I get embarrassed for people like this |
|
It's like I no longer have the energy to hate them; I only feel pity and a deep sadness when I hear stuff like this. What a miserable fool he is.

7. I am embarrassed of my country. |
|
Really. That so many people like Rick Santorum and John Smoltz populate it, it makes me question the intelligence and morality of my beloved nation.

8. “‘What’s next? Marrying an animal?’ he asked derisively.” |
|
Legitimate question. Do any here actually think that won't be 'a' next step?

10. The article should be entitled "Freeper outs himself" |
|
It's amazing to see freepers showing their true colors for all to see. They sound like the KKK in the old days.

13. Why am I not surprised Smoltzy's a "devout Christian?" |

It getting hard to fight the urge to generalize.

18. I'm with Smoltz on this one |
|
Marriage between a man and a same sex animal is totally offensive. However, I've had my eyes on this really adorable female tortoise at the local zoo. There's nothing wrong with heterosexual marriage between man and animal, now is there?

You've just had your eye on the tortoise and you're already thinking marriage? Jeez. Doesn't anybody do any courting these days?

His bigoted comments, and comparison of gays to animals? Or Whoopie's comparison of Bush to her privates?
Whoopie got fired.

22. Since when is it okay in America to withold the rights of one group of |
|
people simply because we may have to talk about granting those same rights to other people? Don't any of the 'patriotic' repubs ever see this as unamerican as it is?
Every time I hear some conservative talking like this, I always ask them that question. I have yet to recieve any discernable or reasonable answer.

23. This country was founded on the principle. |
|
Ask a few folks on "The Rez." Then go to the very poorest part of Mississippi, and pose that question to the oldest Afro-American you can find.
