Will we be able to debate the facts when it comes to Initiative 11? Not if Hickey has his way.

Extremists often shape their arguments around ideas and opinions, not facts.

Pastor Hickey is a idealogue. He says things that are flat out lies in order to support his anti-American and anti-freedom agenda. He is a modern day theocrat. Just read some of his comments about people who are prochoice:

You can kick out a student for a variety of offenses, surely promoting child sacrifice and working to enable sex offenders are offenses relevant to her status at a pro-life school.

Is that why women have abortions? So they can SACRIFICE babies and PROMOTE sexual abuse? Quite the opposite actually.

Or his rewriting of American History claiming our forfathers were theocrats like himself, all the while forgetting that a democratic goverment was invented by non-Christians:

4. You are fully ignorant and revisionist in your comments about the separation of church and state. It’s not in the Constitution. It’s even an impossibility as the govt. IS the people and the people ALL have “religious” worldviews – even atheists. The only question is whose religious world view and moral agenda will shape this nation, the moral agenda of our founding (decidedly Christian) or something other. Did they teach you in your high school government class that pastors don’t have first amendment rights?

Instead debating the facts, he changes or twists the facts. He believes abortion is murder and believes murder is a sin. Is lying?

Denied!

Okay, my big mouth and political leanings have gotten me into some hot water. You might even say ‘certain’ politicians in SF don’t like me. But when I entered SodaPop in the McKennan Park Dog show yesterday I was hoping my political enemies wouldn’t take it out on SodaPop. We entered the category “Most looks like owner” (I guess they didn’t have ‘most humpy’ category) I got a good applause and people came up to me afterward and said I should have won. I said during my presentation, “He’s short, stout and has a big head like his owner.” One guy said to me, “I think your loss was political.” Well, let’s see, the judges were Nancy Navvvvvve, De Knudson, Kenny Anderson Jr., and some local pet doctor (?) and King Dave officiating. That’s fine if they don’t want to include me in any beauty pagents in SF, but as you can see Sodapop was visibly upset. He’s okay, I bought him some french fries and that made everything better.

BTW, payback is a bitch. (hardy-harr-harr).

Now they want to save babies that haven’t even been conceived yet?!

From Pastor(?) Doohickey’s blog:

– we know God’s dream for every life – including Leslie’s – does not begin at conception – but his dream for each life begins in his mind long before that dream ever manifests in it’s mothers womb.

Huh? Now this is a crusade to make sure people have children, before they decide to have children?

And they wonder why people call them bonkers?

A ‘Hickey’ on the neck of the Initiative 11 Debate

Okay, Okay, everyone involved with the Initiative 11 debate on both sides is absolutely free game. I’m a big free speech supporter and believe that if you are involved in either campaign you are subject to criticism; hard, brutal, nasty criticism. What I don’t agree with is posting someone’s personal/family information as the voices carry blog did today. It’s low, it’s sneaky, inappropriate, potentially libelous and quite frankly something you would not expect out of someone who preaches the teachings of Jesus Christ. It’s downright hypocritical and I question the moderator’s faith.

We can discuss the issues; when life begins, abortion, women’s rights, religious beliefs, blah, blah, blah. But bringing people’s families into the debate is unjustified because we all know the violence that has been carried out over the years towards people on the prochoice side by extremist fanatics. Many of my family members probably disagree with my stance on Initiative 11. Is it fair to drag them into the debate? NO, it’s unethical and quite frankly IMMORAL.

These kind of tactics are uncalled from Pastor(?) Hickey, and if you want to cheat at the game, let’s play. Cheaters always lose (remember last year?).

The Johnson – Herseth Scenario

l3wis August 8, 2008 1Comments

Ok kiddies, let’s just admit it. Johnson is running for one reason and one reason only, to prevent Dykstra (or insert any podunk SD Republican) from getting the position.

Today, is as good as any day to put out why I think Johnson is running. (Editor’s note; This is my OPINION only, it is NOT based on any FACTS or RUMORS I have heard, pure speculation.)

Certain pieces of the puzzle have already been put in place.

1) It is obvious that Tim’s son, Brendan wants to get involved in politics. He has been speaking at political events and is active in the SD Democratic party.

2) Herseth says she has not ruled out running for governor in 2010, ironically when her congressional term will expire again.

3) Johnson refused to retire and is staying in the race.

What this tells me is that Herseth is gunning for the Governorship, if she wins she will gain the power to appoint a US Senator, and since she is a Democrat, she will appoint a Democrat. If she wins I predict Tim will resign (due to health reasons, or something) and she will appoint Brendan.

It is just my take on the situation -have fun with it GOPers
