MN C5 Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I don’t believe in the concept of evil, But I think the Bush administration is evil. I care more about getting my social security and Medicare Than I care about genocidal dictators. I weep for whales and dying animals, But I am unconvinced of the goodness and global necessity of freedom; even after mass graves are discovered. I want world peace, But I’m not willing to export freedom. Despite the success of the war against terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq; Despite the success of the tax cuts and the rebounding economy, I will continue to undermine the Bush Administration. I still believe in moral relativism, Even after 9/11. I care more about what the rest of the world thinks of America Than I do about the United States' national security. I will say nothing, do nothing, and be nothing In the name of tolerance And in order to avoid serious confrontation. I support troops Who are following orders I do not agree with. I think all fighting is wrong, Even when its fighting to stop bad guys. I care more about the mental and emotional scarring of a few Iraqi rebels Than I do about the rape of Jessica Walker Lynch Or the murder, burning, and sexual mutilation of four American civilians by Iraqis. I care more about the mistreatment of a few Iraqi rebels Than the worse atrocities John Kerry has admitted to committing. I value all life, Even the lives of villains.

MN C5 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hot off the wire the President has a higher IQ than Senator Kerry...lol what are the liberials going to do. "There's been a lot of talk about how Senator Kerry has a lot higher IQ than Bush … the thing is, though, there's very little hard evidence out there," Sailer told FOX News on Tuesday. At the age of 22, both men took the IQ-type tests required of candidate military officers — Bush took one to get into the Air National Guard and Kerry took one in his efforts to become a Navy officer. Sailer said that Kerry scored in the 50th percentile — about average for all who applied with him but "well above average intelligence" of others. On his Air Force Qualifying Test, the president "scored a little bit better, better than about 2/3 of the applicants," Sailer said. While the two tests aren't perfectly comparable, Sailer says they provide no evidence that Kerry is smarter and that, if anything, Bush is smarter than Kerry. Bush got a 1206 on his SATs, the college entrance exams, and maintained a C+ average at Yale University. His graduate management aptitude test score and grades at Harvard Business School are not known, however. Kerry's grades and academic test scores remain wholly unavailable, but he did not graduate from Yale with honors. Bush actually has higher IQ — in the mid 120s, Sailer said, while Kerry's is about an even 120. "The question is, first of all, is Bush really as dumb as Democrats like to say? The answer is no, he's a clever man. Is Kerry quite as smart as people think he is? Probably not," Sailer told FOX News. But the president can do some things to get rid of the blundering idiot image, Sailer said. "I think what we've seen is that, it would probably do the president some good for somebody to sit down and say 'Mr. President, you have degrees from the two most popular colleges in the United States' and you can fly a fighter jet but 'you can really buckle down and sweat the details a little bit more than you're doing,'" Sailer said.
