		<description>Mike--excellent post. Way too much demonizing on all sides (many more than two, I think).  There are many good religious people who honestly believe that all good is from God, that individual good works are are the result of God's grace, and the praise properly belongs to God (praising men can lead to the sin of pride in the do-gooder).  Others, not so good, have a truly warped idea of what 'good' is.  Some are good because they perceive God's love and wish to participate; some simply are fearful of God's wrath.  I call myself a secular humanist and at least try to be good because it is right, and because common goodness is what holds our society together.  Perhaps the DOJ lawyer you write about simply has never questioned whether there can be more than one reason for the doing of good works.</description>

		<description>Mike,

Your post took a step forward in finally appreciating the diversity of speakers groups bring to the law school and then blow it with your article in the Law Weekly.

You live and study in a world that begins and ends with "it depends."  If you can't afford dignity to people with different viewpoints, even if they are being paid to express those viewpoints, you have picked the wrong profession.  If you really want to have a primetime tv news/radio show, go into a journalism.   

Take your scare/hate tactics and rhetoric to Columbia and UNC where they might be considered novel or even maybe interesting.  However, if you want to stick around UVA Law and the legal profession, you need to change your tune.

If you want to see how discourse should proceed at this law school pay attention to Ulrick Casseus's article in today's Law Weekly.  It was civil, powerful and presented a clear rebuke.</description>

HEY JUNIOR, maybe you are S.R. Siddarth undercover, there is no such word as “MACACA” in Webster’s english dictionary. Are you using some Tunisian online dictionary?

In America we speak english whether you like it or not. &lt;/i&gt;

No, I'm not Mr Siddarth, but thanks for asking.  If you had even bothered to follow the link I provided, the definitions, referencing a genus of monkey, were from medical dictionaries, including Merriam-Webster. Quite frankly, I think I trust them more than I trust you.

But of course, you never bother addressing any of the facts that Mike posted.  Instead, you post your own misinformation (Bill Clinton did more to combat terrorism than Bush has done, and you can look that up).

Perhaps it's true what Stephen Colbert says: The truth has a well-known liberal bias.</description>

		<description>As one who grew up an evangelical, going to an evangelical private school for 10 yrs, I think I can shed a small bit of light here...

The truth is, there are a lot of normal, decent, fully moral conservatives in this country who truly care about doing what's right. I've seen a lot of backlash from my "dyed in the wool" conservative friends who are finally starting to get disgusted w/ everything that's going on. The more they learn about the prosecutor purge (&#38; then begin to rethink all the other scandals), the more pissed they get, b/c, for the most part, they do all believe in one important thing - the rule of law. 

This admin will eventually choke itself on its own lies, b/c most of them are too big of cowards to come clean from the get go. Once the perjury charges start racking up, it won't matter (to the majority of repubs, or at least a large chunk) what Rush says about any of it. It will be obvious; they lied, and that's all there is to it.</description>
