Civility at Saddleback
2008-08-21 15:54:00 -By David Huntwork I watched a good portion the Saddleback Civil Forum on Saturday evening. It was a decent showing for both candidates but McCain probably did the best in what was viewed by many conservatives as a possible ambush by a pro-Obama evangelical pastor at a forum conceived by a variety of ideologically questionable characters. ...

The Audacity of Civility in Politics
2008-05-17 00:10:00 As everyone has heard, the Democrats are in a tizzy over comments made by President Bush in Israel.Candidate Obama gave Senator McCain flak for "embracing" the president's "attacks on Democrats," and "suggesting that I wasn't fit to protect this nation that I love."At a town hall meeting in Watertown, SD Obama added, "So much for civility."To which one could add, 'so much for the civility of those the Senator from IL has surrounded himself with since the beginning of his political career.'DeMediacratic Nation Blogrolls

Oz PM backs Governor-General Jeffery's call for more civility in crick
2008-02-02 12:59:00 Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has come out in support of Governor-General Michael Jeffery's call for more civility in cricket. Taking part into a debate over Australia's stormy cricket series against India, Jeffery has lamented the loss of grace and courtesy from the game. "I think the governor-general is perfectly entitled to express his point of view," said Rudd, adding, "And on the question of civility in the game, I think that all would like greater civility in the game generally." The Australian Prime Minister said that he was not blaming any team, adding that there was room for manners no matter how tough the game. "It's a tough and competitive business (but) you can conduct it with a bit of civility," The Age quoted Rudd, as saying. "I think the nation would expect of us in the political sphere to be more civil towards one another in the future," he said. Hitting back at Jeffery, Australian captain Ricky Ponting has...

Generation gap or civility gap?
2008-01-23 22:48:00 Devraj Kori set off a firestorm near our nation’s seat of gross incompetence last Thursday when he called a Fairfax County, Virginia public schools’ administrator, Dean Tistadt, to complain about not getting a snow day off. We don’t know exactly what Kori said in his message, but we do know what Tistadt’s wife, Candy had to say in her voice reply, because Kori published it on YouTube. It wasn’t pretty. Candy kinda lost it, reading Kori the riot act in a voice that could strip paint (you really have to listen to this voice to believe it) while explaining that her husband hadn’t retured Kori’s previous calls to his office because he had been out almost every night that week in meetings for “snotty-nosed little brats.” Candy then told Kori, who says he has a 3.977 GPA, to “get an education.” Kori, apparently, has said that he called the Tistadt home as the result of a generation gap, in which kids expect to be cont...
Urge for Tolerance and Civility
2008-01-18 21:45:00 We are taught to be tolerant and civil to all people - this of course does not mean to compromise our values as Christians. But it certainly means that we should focus on the good in others, treat them with respect and never treat someone like they are less than or below us if they don't believe in God or if they don't personally uphold our values. Jesus Christ said unto His disciples, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."- John 13:34 I have pondered on this scripture many times. The Savior of the world is commanding me to love others as He loves me... this is not a small thing. Because I have felt His love for me in so many ways in my life and it passes all my understanding, that's some BIG love. I love Him because He first loved me... And that's the kind of thing that changes the world for the better!!! (1 John 4:19 "We love Him, because He first loved us.")The following is taken from a talk by Presid...
Civility During The Presidential Election; Can?t See It

Smerky Serenades "Senator Civility"
2007-12-18 05:11:00 In yesterday?s Philadelphia Inquirer, Michael Smerconish brought us the following here?This was (Arlen) Specter as Pennsylvania elder statesman, anxious to deliver a message about the need for civility and compromise, not shrillness and contempt. He spoke like an ideological moderate fed up with the left-right extremism too often seen on the split screens of America today. And he thought the future should have more of the camaraderie so evident in New York City that night."The importance of courtesy and civility is critical at all levels - international negotiations, national, state and local government. This weekend is exactly the kind of time when we should all reflect on how much we have in common and how much harder we should try to get along."And then came this key line:"If you can lift a glass together with your colleague from across the aisle on a Saturday night here in New York, you can lift your pen with that same colleague across the hall on Monday morning in Philadelphia,...
Off The Beaten Tracht
2007-11-25 11:54:00 I have zero sympathy for the whining former DC shock jock Greaseman. The Wash Post's radio czar Marc Fisher (whom I like) pitches how guys like Imus and Stern get second chances and Doug "Greaseman" Tracht is terminally stuck in the dugout for his sins. Here's what Dougie did. On DC-101 Martin Luther King Jr. Day 1986: "Kill four more and we can take the whole week off." Week suspension.Thirteen years later. Greaseman: "No wonder people drag them behind trucks." Grisly comment after a Lauryn Hill tune. Fired. He's about as employable as K-Fed. The 57-year-old victim of his own tongue sighs that if he ruled the world: "...and we had people raising hell about the morning man's antics, we'd raise our glass and bring him free doughnuts every day. But until we get that station, well, I have no idea. I'll be out here on the boat, getting premature aging of my skin, holding a light gin and tonic and feeling like a million bucks." Liar.Doug analyzes himself in a 20-year-old Wash Post ...

Peggy on Civility & Censorship
2007-03-10 08:26:02 In a most excellent column today, the Athena of punditry weighs in on political discourse, taking to task both Ann Coulter and Bill Maher for intemperate remarks in recent days. It’s interesting that the media paid more attention to the conservative’s statements. While people talked about canceling Ms. Coulter’s column, there has been no outcry for HBO to cancel Mr. Maher’s show. Personally, I wish they would both just go away. Maher said “a lot of lives would be saved if Vice President Cheney had died” and Coulter insinuated that Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards was a “faggot.” As their ideological adversaries responded to their remarks, Peggy wisely notes: Conservatives said they were chilled by Mr. Maher’s comments, but I don’t think they were. They were delighted he revealed what they believe is at the heart of modern liberalism, which is hate. Liberals amused themselves making believe they were chilled ...
