Richard 31 was on solid ground. Paragraph 8 of this article praises McCain's appoach to global terror. Just because the article is right about some things doesn't mean it's right about everything. While praising McCain, Davis slimes Rand Paul, who's so superior to McCain that it's ridiculous.

Rand Paul is the best member of Congress. His convictions are like those of the Founders if they were alive today. Unfortunately, his common sense isn't very common.

Fine, where are all the religious group protests and programs favoring gun rights, concealed carry, crackdowns on illegal aliens, tougher criminal penalties, increased military and police spending, shrinking the welfare state, lower taxes, lower capital gains taxes, rolling back environmental and other regulations, voter ID laws, etc? At some point the bowl is overflowing with cherries.

Common logical fallacy known as the "No True Scotsman Fallacy." Look it up.

I left out hundreds - all ludicrously better than Garcia. Allan Holdsworth ...

Chet Atkins was another great player. Hank Garland was another.

I like Santana, Betts, Duane Allman, (Cream-era Clapton), Leslie West, Mick Abrahams, B.B. King, Albert King, Albert Collins, Robben Ford, and many others. Garcia was just a poor guitarist. Lack of technical ability doesn't mean you play with soul.

He may have been a "vituoso" but he was far from a virtuoso. His guitar playing was so bad (even worse than his singing) that I get queasy just listening to it. You want to hear a virtuoso, try listening to Segovia, Joe Pass, Lenny Breau, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Jeff Beck, Dean Brown, Eddie Van Halen, Pat Metheny, etc. Ever heard of a guy named Hendrix?

Jeffrey must have done a lot of drugs if he think Garcia was a good musician, much less a great one.

Will probably do more harm than good because it isn't true that atheist = left and religious = right. Other than the abortion issue, the Catholic Church is very liberal. The American Bishops are leftist. The mainstream Protestant denominations are dominated by liberals. The World Council of Churches is leftist. Liberation theology is Marxist. The best known religious figures in the U.S. are all socialists: Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton, Rev. Wright, Father Pfleger.
