In many ways they are like the Libertarians that refuse to vote for either a Democrat or Republican.<BR/><BR/>Falwell and Robertson are public figures in as much as the MSM likes to use them in a manner that suggests that they have far more political power than they actually have.<BR/><BR/>Neither one will ever be voted to any national political office, or likely, any local office higher than dog catcher.<BR/><BR/>We learn from the MSM that Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton, speak for all Blacks, Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd, speak from moral authority, and Falwell and Robertson speak for Christian Conservatives.<BR/><BR/>Why would the media pay any more attention to either one of them than they would, sat to, a far less flamboyant and poorer Ted Turner?Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720528359843578475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1112128368783241022005-03-29T15:32:00.000-05:002005-03-29T15:32:00.000-05:00The right has some issues but is an entirely diffe...The right has some issues but is an entirely different animal. What would Falwell do if he got power ?<BR/>My guess is that they would chane a few priorities in education , focus on family and domestic law.<BR/>He would never betray this country<BR/>and try to aid overseas critics.<BR/><BR/>The left has a tradition of this kind of behavior. The sides are not equal in any description.<BR/><BR/>I say this as a Rudy Republican who is at odds with the Religious right. We agree to dissagree on this one.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1112102498720061192005-03-29T08:21:00.000-05:002005-03-29T08:21:00.000-05:00They're still indicative of a malice towards Ameri...They're still indicative of a malice towards American freedom. Just because they don't manufacture Moore's brand of propaganda doesn't mean they have a greater love for our country.<BR/><BR/>I don't care if they apologized. I wouldn't care if Moore felt like he had to apologize for Fahrenheit 9/11. As far as I'm concerned, the lot of them have been pegged for a while now as similar forces on the right and the left.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132674237614327721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1112082840157205992005-03-29T02:54:00.000-05:002005-03-29T02:54:00.000-05:00Adam as a direct eye witness to 9-11 and WTC 93 I ...Adam as a direct eye witness to <BR/>9-11 and WTC 93 I do remember the stupid comments you refer to. I was quite offended at the time. They were stupid and he appologized<BR/>for them .<BR/><BR/>Falwell like any other public figure do say dumb things. They admit their mistake and we move ahead. <BR/><BR/>Those statements are not seditious <BR/>nor intended to make our country look bad overseas.

No amount of apologizing afterwards changes the fact that that was their initial reaction.<BR/><BR/>On abortion, I have much of the same thoughts--though I don't think that it should have been decided by a court mandate, but rather, at the state level.<BR/><BR/>lastly, I think that everyone has been insane when it comes to Schiavo, and I wish that the government would get its nose out of a family's affair, and the media would stop obsessing about it and start talking about things in the world of actual consequence.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132674237614327721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1112073230003772832005-03-29T00:13:00.000-05:002005-03-29T00:13:00.000-05:00Welcome Icarus all view points are welcome here an...Welcome Icarus all view points are <BR/>welcome here and we get hostile post from the left. They do not know what a Rudy Republican is.<BR/>I have always been a cold warrior <BR/>despite some social liberal positions. This often puts me in the middle.
