Aww. I think Victus is just engaging hyperbole, as am I, to a degree, in our long-running, um, debates. Personally, I don't mind that tactic amongst friends.
OMG! Was I far off the mark here!

It's really something to have an old post come back and bite you in the ass.

P.S. Smelly, that image is hilarious and the copy is monumentally clever.

Victus is alright, I think. He's just very passionate about something where he happens to also be very wrong. The conversations get heated, mud gets slung, and things can get out of hand, which is why I've mostly stayed out of the Libertarian discussions. But my impression of Victus (which, granted, comes solely from teh internets) is not entirely unfavorable. I wouldn't put him in the same categorie(s) as Brick (asshole) and ubs (lunatic).

I used to feel that way, Chaos, but it's difficult for me to maintain that level of respect for someone who thinks the hypothetical woman cleaning the toilets at his place of employment deserves to go without healthcare because cleaning toilets may be all that she is qualified to do.

Admittedly, mine is a personal prejudice. And I suspect I might find Victus eminently tolerable in some other venue where I was not engaging him on matters of politics. When we confined our discussions to religion,Vic was, indeed, one of my favorite posters.

Ach but this glibertarianism is like a pernicious virus, infecting every thread.

On the other hand, when I imagine women and toilets -- and I often do -- Ms Palin sometimes makes a cameo.

"Cameo", is what they are calling them these days? I thought that on-film defecations were called "ebony retro-sculptures" no matter how briefly.

I watched the William Shatner roast on Comedy Central the other night.

Good to see us dirty heathen scumbags have got Lady Peabrain's knickers in a bit of a twist.
Quote:
Speaking to the Christian Broadcasting Network, Sarah Palin condemned atheists and referred to them as a threat. “All these Joe McScrooges are running around armed with an attorney and ruining not just Christmas but threatening our American way of life. These McScrooges are dangerous and must be stopped,” she said. She also suggested that the “war on Christmas” is only the first battle that believers are waging against those who “want to take God out of society.” According to her, the road that believers are on today is cluttered with too many angry atheists who are armed with attorneys and are trying to abolish the freedom to express faith. “It is going to end in ruin unless we do something about it,” she added.

.... and Victus firing on how poor folk should pay for their own advanced medical care ....

The difference between Michael Palin and Sarah Palin is that one has been on a trip around the world, the other gives them.

The middle man of last resort.
