What I believe

By -
Seth from over at CCK was trying to call me out as a member of the "far, far right" in the comment section of a previous post, and I spent a few minutes refuting him this noon.

In order to make sure that people don't continue to misunderstand me, I wanted to take a moment to let you know.......What I believe:
I believe that despite all the trappings of our modern society, one person can still change this world.

I believe that people matter more in the political process than money does.

I believe the original Van Halen was better than any of the following incarnations.

I believe that conservative and liberal talk radio should not be taken seriously, and simply considered as the entertainment that they are.

I believe parents need to be parents, and not the best friend of their children.

I believe the Republican Party governs best. At least when it sticks to principles of guarding individual rights, and less government. Anything else gets us off track.

I believe that professional wrestling is real. And that's my story, no matter how many times I’m ridiculed.

I believe that government should spend less time making laws that tell us how to live our lives.

I believe that shore fishing is the most relaxing activity ever invented this side of sleeping.

I believe that our culture is more concerned with celebrity than they are with family.

I believe the Internet – allowing the free flow of information on a global scale - is one of mankind’s greatest creations. If only we could do something about all the pop-up ads.

I believe that adult entertainment is for adults, and we should allow kids to remain kids for the duration of their childhood. They have 60 years or so after that to learn how to be as neurotic as the rest of us.

I believe that the South Dakota Judicial Accountability Act is the product of paranoid, anti-government conspiracy theorists, and it’s the duty of every South Dakotan to kill the measure before it twists the rule of law into something perverted and unrecognizable.

I believe dogs are better than cats.

I believe that any candidate can beat any other candidate, given the right set of circumstances. No candidate should ever be discounted.

I don’t believe those letters in those magazines are real. That is, until one night it happened to me….

I believe most things aren’t worth doing unless they are funny.
File that one under ramblings. Time to get back to work.

Let the fringes get themselves worked up, because anyone who does not fit into their world view is clearly an enemy...and best of luck with that attitude

No list of beliefs can be taken seriously in American without stating your positions on the designated hitter rule, bump-drafting or the endzone celebration penalty . . .

I'm sure it's just coinscience that you listed pro wrestling and the Republican party side by side, when listing things your believe in.

With this post and your response to my comment, you've managed to say absolutely nothing in 667 words. And with the exception of the strong position you take on the side of dogs, you have said absolutely nothing that would distinguish you from any other American. Seems like you have a future running for office.

But why the smokescreen? Why all this babble when you could just answer my original question? Perhaps there is some truth to my assertion that you are not the moderate you claim to be.

I'll state it again: In each of the contested Republican primaries, which candidate do you support?

Look, if you're not going to answer the question, that's fine--just kindly keep my name in a separate post when you're going to bring Van Halen and pro-wrestling into a political back and forth.

"I believe that government should spend less time making laws that tell us how to live our lives."

So how do you feel about trying to change a law that makes criminals out of sick, disabled, pain-ridden and dying people for trying to feel better?

sorry bob. I forgot to add:

I believe that pharmaceuticals should be manufactured in laboratory conditions, under strict quality controls, and not under grow-lights in some dude's basement.

Yeah, pp, how do you feel about using sick, disabled, pain-ridden and dying people to get your party drug of choice legalized.

I think that's someone else's party drug of choice.

But I will step in and run a petition if they keep taking away sinus medication during the cold and allergy seasons.

One past p.s.: any statement of "I believe" pales in comparison to Kevin Costner's rant in Bull Durham to Susan Sarandon. 4th greatest baseball movie of all time.

Think of it, a moderate Republican makes an uber-lib Dem positively swoon.

Works on many levels . . .

Pat, you're a double-talking apologist for the worst policies of government. You know damned well that the FDA and DEA won't allow the proper studies for certification. Meanwhile the FDA sends out 300 marijuana cigarettes each month to each of seven patients who are alive today because the FDA has been doing this for 22 years.

Meanwhile, you just plug your ears and sing lalalalala while people are being put in prison for using medicine that alleviates their pain and medical conditions.

You're worse than contemptible, you juvenile horse's ass.

I'm juvenile? So says the person who starts the name calling when people don't agree with him.

Don't like my opinions? Go play somewhere else.

You advance opinions without evidence; in fact, against evidence. You turn your back on those who could benefit from a simple change in law. You, in fact, advocate turning our backs on sick, disabled, and dying people.

You say crap, then you run away without trying to support it. That is chickenshit and horse's ass.

Bob, if you haven't noticed by now, most people are not swayed by your abusive tactics, nor your name calling when they disagree with your position.

Some of us actually support your efforts for free speech. But when we say we disagree with your opinions of marijuana - which is as much our constitutional right to disagree as it is yours to try to legalize it - you take pains to be nasty.

Like I said, Don't like my opinions? Go play somewhere else.

For the record, GFY means, "God Forgives You."

However, people suffering maladies from which they get relief only by using cannabis might not.

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on...
