I have found I can bend over backwards to help a true Conservative and they will stab you in the back every single time. And don't forget I work in an industry that is known for back stabbing.

So my solution is to never work with anyone I cannot trust. Screw up once and that's the end of it. Get along without my help from now on because I have all the work I can deal with now.

I live in a small town. People will call me and ask if I know such and such and would I work with them again. All it takes is one no and someone has a few years of work ahead of them to rebuild the trust others might someday have in them.

But I will trust anyone once. But that means they have to also trust me, and while I hate paying Lawyers sometimes they are worth the money.

Show business contracts cover every conceivable way to cheat someone, and there are thousands of 'standard' contracts, but people come up with new ones all the time. And oddly enough they always seem to be Conservative who think they are so much smarter than people who have been doing this for 50 years.

Every single time as in batting one thousand? I find that hard to believe unless I don't understand what your definition of a back stabbing is. Or maybe I don't understand what you mean by bending over backwards for someone.

Please explain why something so awesome should be delayed, and is it just a coincidence that the delays happen to run out after the next presidential election.
You mean explain it again?

It would be amazing if the ACA went into effect without needed adjustments. Since the GOP puts partisan politics ahead of trying the make the law work better, common sense fixes are impossible. Given the incompetent rollout last fall, it's impressive the the ACA is working as well as it is.

Is that every single liberal as in batting a thousand?

His career as a surgeon has nothing to do with him linking crimes against children and animals with homosexuality.
Oh, so now you are an expert attorney? A shame to waste such talent on retail.

There has been no LINK. Since you are an educated attorney, then you understand what a precedent is. Believe it or not I DO understand what consent means. I also know that it has nothing to do with a link. It might be an argument if someone tried to move forward with taking the precedent further.

Since you have such a phenomenal legal mind, here is some reading for you:

I would happy if the media displayed the same cynicism for liberal claims as they do for conservative ones.
Not all politicians lie, but many, of all beliefs do. All their claims should be approached, as Reagan said, "Trust, but verify".

Don't need to be a lawyer to understand consent.

Carson link the three idea by using them in the same sentence. Other than that there is no link between homosexuality other than in the minds of people like you and Carson.

FRC? That is funny. An FRC link with out a single reference to anything supporting what they are alleging. There is one mention of a guy named J. Gordon Muir, who I cannot find a single bit of information on. FRC uses a bunch of separate issues and innuendo and then alows people like you to draw their own conclusions with out a shred of evidence to support it.

Of COURSE there is no link and no one has claimed one EXCEPT YOU.. They have talked about the PRECEDENT. The consent issue might make a good argument when some nut comes along trying to use the precedent so they can marry their horse though. You have quite an imagination to hear that anyone has made a link, but some nut will. Only a matter of time until one of your perverted liberal buddies proves me right..

Interesting that the liberals always try to discredit the source of articles with which they disagree.

Did you even read the link you posted? They have attempted with out a shred of evidence to link the two. You just tried to link the two by citing that article as proof.

When the article does not have a single source to back up its claim there is nothing to discredit.

Funny how people think that posting something automatically makes it true.

Wait now, is there a rule here that they have to read their links, let alone understand them?

I just assumed that if Larry was going to argue that no one was attempting to link pedophilia and homosexuality he would not link to a site that did just that so I can only assume he did not actually read either the site or what he wrote.

The question is did YOU read it, and did YOU understand the entire scope of the paper?

Since you claim that your education and knowledge is so massively beyond the rest of us, it is quite surprising that IF you read the article, you do not understand a concept called FOOTNOTES. There are almost EIGHTY different references at the bottom of the article.

In the text there are little numbers in brackets that refer to those footnotes which reference almost eighty articles, studies and the like to back up their findings.

SO...... did YOU REALLY read the article? With such a brilliant mind and education to a level that challenges that of Dr. Ben Carson, do you REALLY not know what footnotes are all about?
