I was thinking, Bennet is right!!! Along the same lines, taking this story:
"Societies worse off 'when they have God on their side'
By Ruth Gledhill, Religion Correspondent
RELIGIOUS belief can cause damage to a society, contributing towards high murder rates, abortion, sexual promiscuity and suicide, according to research published today."
into account, one can reasonably conclude that we could reduce crime rates by burning down every church/synagogue/mosque in the country!
Since, obviously, we effete liberal intellectuals would never consider such, what I suggest instead is infiltrating various right-wing hate groups. We'd promote safe church-burning, ensuring no injuries or deaths. They do the crime, they do the time! Further damage to the right wing.
You remember what the HeadRubber said about what he'd do to the terrorists asnd their supporters: divide them, make them fight each other, etc.
It was a good plan, but executed by incompetents, who succeeded in doing that to the U.S., while unifying terrorists against us.
And we're smarter than the HorseWankerer, right? How bout we do that to the right-wing, while unifying the left? Hell, the rightwingers will do it to themselves, they just need a little encouragement.

And yet once again Fate gives us the purple finger from Iraq for our hubris:
Splits emerge between Kurds and Shiites in Iraqi government
Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Sharp divisions emerged Saturday between Iraq's ruling Kurdish and Shiite Muslim factions after Iraq's Kurdish president accused the Shiite prime minister of breaking coalition promises and overly dominating the government.
Kurdish officials warned they would consider pulling out of the government if their demands aren't met. That would cause the collapse of the government and add a new layer of political instability and fragmentation between Iraq's main communities.
The only thing messier than a civil war is a three-way civil war.
The friction comes ahead of an Oct. 18 vote on a new constitution, which both the Kurds and Shiites support. But Iraq's Sunni Arab minority is trying to defeat the charter at the polls, fearing it will give too much power to the other two communities.

Patty Wetterling becomes the first senatorial candidate to demand a troop withdrawal date of next Thanksgiving
Recently, I've
been thinking a lot about some numbers:
* 1,400 empty-handed
weapons inspectors.
* Almost 2,000
American lives lost.
* Almost $200
billion spent.
* 150,000 soldiers
still in Iraq.
* 0 plans to bring
an end to it all.
The war in Iraq is costing this country and Minnesota in lives, treasure, and opportunity, and we can no longer afford to continue down the path we're on.

Amid Turmoil, G.O.P. Seeks to Regain Grip on Its Agenda
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 - After a brutal political month, Republicans are scrambling both to reassure their conservative base and to send a broader message to the American public - that they are, in fact, confronting the real-world issues of soaring gas prices, Hurricane Katrina relief, Iraq and immigration, while the Democrats are consumed with partisan warfare. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/
0...artner=homepage
This mandatory now:
"Democrats are consumed with partisan warfare"
In one form or another you get "the dems are in disarray." As the repubs sink deeper and deeper into a giant stinking shit pile of corruption, incompetence and greed remember: "Democrats are consumed with partisan warfare." Oy!
I like this gem from rethug dreier:
"Their mantra is 'they're corrupt and everything they do is bad,' " Mr. Dreier said. But, he added, "You can't replace something with nothing."
dreier sets the bar kinda low doesn't he? Oy!
How moronic are bush republicans! How dumb are their rank and file!
