Nice to paint the whole GOP with one brush! Maybe I should look at someone like Ted Kennedy and say the entire left is a bunch of half-Communist, drunken losers who down Chivas by the gallon? On the issue, while I think Virgil is getting off track here, his argument to stop Ellison has some SERIOUS weight behind it. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article....RTICLE_ID=53241 The first Muslim member of Congress is linked to a radical Islamic school of thought that requires loyalty to the Quran over the U.S. Constitution, WND has learned. Rep.-elect Keith (Hakim-Mohammed) Ellison, D-Minn., has drawn fire for asking to take the constitutional oath on the Quran rather than the Bible at a swearing-in ceremony next month. The Constitution specifies that members of Congress shall be bound by an oath to support the constitutional law of the land. In the oath, Ellison will be required to swear to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic ... without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion." Critics argue he has conflicting loyalties, while Ellison insists he's a patriot. But within days of being elected, Ellison held a workshop on politics for a group closely affiliated with a radical Islamic school that preaches no Muslim can pledge loyalty to the Constitution or make laws outside the laws of the Quran, which the school's leaders assert is the "supreme law" of the land, trumping all man-made laws including the U.S. Constitution........................ ......American Open University supports Sharia, or Islamic law. And its founder and chairman, Jaafar Sheikh Idris, has denounced the U.S system of democracy as "the antithesis of Islam" and argued no man has the right to make laws outside Allah's laws expressed in the Quran. "There is a basic difference between Islam and this form of democracy," he says. "The basic difference is that in Islam it is [Allah's] law as expressed in the Quran and the Sunna that is the supreme law within the limits of which people have the right to legislate. "No one can be a Muslim who makes or freely accepts or believes that anyone has the right to make or accept legislation that is contrary to that divine law," Idris adds. "Examples of such violations include the legalization of alcoholic drinks, gambling, homosexuality, usury or interest, and even adoption." Conversely, laws prohibiting polygamy and domestic violence also violate the Quran. Further, he maintains that no Muslim elected to Congress or the White House can swear to uphold the U.S. Constitution and still be a Muslim. THOSE are the guys Ellison is in bed with. People with those beliefs. So dont come here with your "racist" placard and sream without reading WHY people might fear what Ellison is up to. NOW...word is that Ellison's swearing with the Quran is ceremonial ONLY and he will take his "REAL" oath with the Holy bible. Fine. That ends that. Either way, you have to wonder what a member of Congress is doing rubbing elbows with people who seek to turn the USA into an Islamic State and a Caliphate.

Even a blind squirrel nails one once in a while. I mean...the hurdles jimmah's throwing up there arent exactly a mile high.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/columns/garber_greg/1453717.html "Teams should be a lot more aggressive on fourth down," Romer says with the precise air of a scientist. "On average, you'd be better off going for it, essentially, in any short-yardage situation, and then there are some cases even in longer yardage when you're in that position where neither punting nor a field goal looks very attractive. Those "idiots" Mariucci, Belichick and Walsh also subscribe to the theory. Methinks this argument's going to go on for a few days.

Thinking more about it now, its pretty clear that there was NO WAY that kick would have made it. A 45 yarder to win is tough with ZERO wind. With the way things were today, it was virtually impossible. Still weird the way it all went down.

Call collect and keep you on the phone to run up your Verizon bill? No response from the originator of this thread, huh? Oh...I forgot...those "better fans" are at the game.

Who the !@#$ made YOU, the judge and jury of who gets to be a Bills fan and who doesnt? I, as an out of towner have EVERY GOD-DAMNED-RIGHT to post on this board and call out WHOEVER THE !@#$ I WANT WHENEVER THE !@#$ I WANT ABOUT WHATEVER THE !@#$ I WANT. GOT IT? Last I checked, those who dont live in the city or even near it can make claim to this team as our own for whatever damned reason we like. And just becuase you and your "crew" get to attend all the games, that doesnt make you "more" of a fan or a "better" fan or show that you "care more" about this team and its' future. You dont own this team and how many times you go proves NOTHING. Fan attendance and especially how it relates to the Bills vis a vis their future in Buffalo is a HUGE issue. One strong flu bug gets a hold of Ralph Wilson and the future of this team is in serious jeopardy. The future of this team is at stake and whether or not they stay in Buffalo is DIRECTLY related to how many seats get filled week to week. So I, and every other fan has a RIGHT and even the DUTY to bring up this issue and discuss it. And while I cannot be a season ticket holder and be there week in and week out, I STILL CARE about this team JUST AS MUCH AS YOU and worry that more powerful people than me will ALSO take note of 25,000 empty seats and look to move this franchise to "so called" greener pastures as soon as the ink dries on Mr. Wilson's death certificate. So Im going to post about that and raise the issue. And as I stated in the thread you are referring to, I DO "put my money where my mouth is" when it comes to doleing out cashola for teams I am fortunate enough to live close to and support regularly. You acutally squeezed out some good points about WHY the attendance is what is the last few weeks before you went into that bull sh--, childish, immature "Im a better fan than you" bull sh--. The future of this team is something we are all concerned with. Stick to the pertinent points and leave the dick measuring contests to the clowns who just plopped in three seconds ago from some other board.

Sorry...I wont ride without a bike helmet. All I need is for some **** to drift into my lane and take me out.

Only an !@#$ turns down free legal money, regardless of personal philosophies.

Im still trying to figure out how he managed to define paying salaries for basic social services as "pork." If I can figure that one out, the formula for cold fusion cant be far behind!

Okay......someone wanna hit this off? Im way too tired. "redistribution of income works great" Wow.....just.......WOW.

Iraq is being "held up for what it is" because the White house wont release classified information about the future whereabouts of the Secretary of Defense???!!?? Thats a bit of a stretch. Whats your encore? Calling Bush a 'chicken' because he always "hides behind" a security detail? Jeez.............

Pul,led this from an article on MSNBC, Pilots giving tips for flying: Q: SO what are some insider tricks for surviving airport security? A: It's common sense. Show up early and leave your suicidal tendencies at home. Indeed.

Government as a positive force to be used for Nation building? Where have I heard this before? Oh yeah...from a certain rancher from Crawford.

Im not offended, no need to apologize. Im just pointing out the hypocrisy of it all. Glad to see you recognized it.

Wow. This who thread ranks up there with the other questions from the press corps over the last few days. That is, their "outrage" that the WH didnt announce Laura Bush's surgery beforehand and why shes now not doing an advocate to prevent skin cancer. In essence, the press corps now L-I-T-E-R-A-L-L-Y gets in a tizzy when someone get has an odd mole removed from their ass. What are these fools going to be "outraged" about next? The consistency of the dump Condoleeza Rice left back in Beiging after eating some kim chee?

Its all the "famous" dogfights throughout history. Duke Cunningham going up agaisnt Tomb, some famous Crusader stuff, Hellcats against Zeroes, etc. Im waiting for two more: 1. Boyington vs. the Japanese 2. Kleeman vs. the Libyans

Very nice. Okay, since we are going down THIS road, who has seen "Dogfights" on the History Channel? Great stuff.

Yeah...the Rhino blows. "HORNETS BY MANDATE, TOMCATS BY CHOICE"

And the team is technically out of it...I get it. But still...a half-empty stadium? Not good.

Joe....that post was the low-point of your long tenure here.

Sorry, Lori.....your "show up then" thingy doesnt wash with me. I dont live in the area, but I can tell you that I DO attend at least 30 games a year for my favorite baseball team that I do live close enough to go to regularly. I sat in a sh-------, empty Shea for five years waiting for them to get good again, twice a week, April through September. I put my money where my mouth is. All I know is almost 20K tixx left for a hot Bills team thats got a good record? Thats not something Bills Nation should be proud of. I dont care if its a holiday. Baseball games are played on Holidays several times a Summer. Fottball games on Thankgiving? Hello? Basketball on Christmas is virtually an institution in America. All these games sell out or draw very, very well. But for us its "Im busy"? "We" are special? Dont buy it. I understand lack of a big advance for the game, but its a bad job by Bills fans if they cant get at least 65K in that place by Sunday. Perhaps it is a big picture type of thing, since the Bills do well overall with attendance. I dunno. It will be interesting to see what the rest of the league draws next week.

Very nice. Very "tolerant" of you. Your expression of "acceptance" of all people from "diverse" backgrounds of different faiths is very "enlightened" and "progressive."

BEST FANS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah...well that would work...except for the fact.....again.... that the problem is not people drinking ON the train, its those that show up TO them already drunk. That girl who died wasnt even ON the train, she was trying to board . So unless you plan to check for people drinking before they even step onto MTA property, your idea hold no water.

How dare ESPN not pick the Bills to win it all? They sure looked like worldbeaters back in week 3, didnt they?!?
