I see a lack of capital letters. Do we have another disputative cockroach here?

I refer, of course, to the immortal Archie - At night, alone, he dives furiously on the keys of Don Marquis' typewriter to describe a cockroach's view of the world, rich with cynicism and humor. It's difficult enough to operate the typewriter's return bar to get a fresh line of paper; all of Archy's dispatches are written lowercase, and without punctuation, because he is unable to hit both shift and letter keys to produce a capital letter.

Red Clay's posts to date. This individual is obviously a crackpot or a troll. We've had some GUESTS who fit that discription. Why join now? Do you desire communion with the folks here at Mudcat and want to use the PM or chat features? Or just want to distinguish your own brand of horse manure from other guests?

On Terry Gross' Fresh Air yesterday she interviewed Michael Moore, and today she interviewed David Balsiger who made the "documentary" film George W. Bush: Faith in the White House. She also interviewed John Lind, who leads a team of folks who do nothing but pray for the resident and the members of his team. And now they're praying for elections.

Jesus fucking Christ, red-clay, get it straight before you start shooting.

I was offering some advice about the dynamics on this forum -- the people here, taken as a whole, do not like being told what God says,preferring to sort such matters out for themselves.

Never mind. Shoot your focking mouth off, wise-ass, and see if it makes you any friends. Around these parts, friendships and hyuman courtesy count for something, but if you want to come in here and start throwing crap around the first day out of the box, demonstrating both your ignorance and your barbarian tendencies, feel free, say what you like. I wish you the joy of it.

Whatever the fight is that you are stuck in, and however long ago it occurred, I also wish you freedom from it.

Go to the top of the page, longpecker and you will see that the enormous majority of threads on the Mudcat are music related, as has always been the case. The only reason you are down at this tail-end of the page is because you decided to open up one of the minority of threads which are not primarily music-related.

I have just started using this site in the vain hope that it might contain what it professes to do - that is a forum for stuff about music.So far all I have found is post after post and thread after thread of self opiniated assholes spouting there half formed ideas/arguments on everything under the sun except what true lovers of music, like me, are searching for.

There are plenty of political parties for people like this to join and air their ideas Why dont they go and do this and leave this site to proper music lovers to enjoy.We don't want to have this political crap shoved at us on every opportunity, lets get on with the music and enjoy ourselves.

So let me see if I'm reading you correctly, red_clay. You're saying that if a US president gets elected of whom you approve, he or she has been appointed by God through the prayers of US Christians. If a US president of whom you don't approve gets elected, he or she was appointed by God because US Christians didn't pray hard enough or properly.

I guess you've got it all neatly sewn up, there, red_clay. So how do you figure it when a president gets elected who is approved of by some Christians but not others?

Red Clay,

You do not understand the concept of the seperation of Church and state. Here is a tip. Don't go to your preacher for constitutional advice. Don't go to your political leaders for religion.

Render unto Caesar what is Caesars.

Here's another tip. Don't trust George W. Bush. He is a madman and he is a liar.

For those who are old enough to remember, JFK promised the people that Catholic dogma would play no part in the decisions he made as president. If he wasn't a heretic, then neither is Kerry.

I suspect the issue really represents the fact that the Vatican is dismayed that a good plurality, perhaps a majority, of western Catholics are opposed to a doctrine it refuses to reconsider.

I'm not sure what you are saying but I agree with Magrath and Jim Wallis. The best way to be anti abortion is to educate young women, to preventy pregnancy and to care for young women who want to carry to term.

I'm against abortion as birth control but I'm also against unwanted babies to illequiped and unsupported women.

The Catholic Church is in enough trouble right now with the priest problem. Excommunicating John Kerry right now would cause it to lose thousands and thousands of the faithful it can't afford to lose. The "Texas Righties" and other conservatives seem to have forgotten the principle of separation of church and state. Kerry is not running as a Catholic, he just happens to be Catholic.

Take it up with Jim Wallis maybe? I don't think he was talking there about those kind of organisations, but rather about people who see all types of legalised killing as having something in common.

It has seemed to me that, in discussions about this on the Mudcat, some people have seemed to see the economic pressures on women to have abortions as somehow inevitable, rather than as constituting a direct assault on freedom of choice.

Fighting for changes that reduce those kind of pressures is the kind of thing on which people anyone who are genuinely pro-chopice, and people who are genuinely pro-life ought surely to be as one. As Jim Wallis advocates in that article.
