The Catholics, Jews, etc. did not have the backing of the government and were basically left to fend for themselves. I agree with you in theory, but let's give the Fathers the benefit of the doubt; how many Catholics and Jews do you honestly think there were
You know....I've been doing this forum thing for quite a while, though I admit that I'm still relatively new here. I've been in and out of various forums over time, and one thing I've noticed is this: when people on the Left are cornered or outnumbered, as Lee1776 seems to be here, they frequently become belligerent and/or sarcastic and disrespectful. Lee1776, no one here has questioned, nor have they impugned your right to an atheistic viewp
The majority of the US is still Christian. Our laws are based on C
I guess the whole point is, I really don't care whether you are a left wing or right wing entertainer. Just ENTERTAIN me, if you have the talent, that is. I don't care to know your views on politics or your favorite food or your favorite automobile..........
You know I am *REALLY* sick to death of ALL this PC crap! I would like to get my *hands* on the idiot who started all of this. I think I would proceed to create a *little murder and mayhem*. Me, too....remember when you could have unpopular views and nobody
People say to be tolerant of all religions both from the Christians and non-Christians. I just believe those who have no religion should be respected for their views too. But there's one thing that the PC crowd (not singling you out, mind you) always forgets in this type of argument: in this country, ma
Hear, Hear!!! Well said! ~~Bows to all points of the compass~ Thank you...thank you....
I've always thought that the Pledge should be explained as it's taught....broken down, word-for-word. When I said it as a child, I was just reciting it by rote, as I'd learned it. It was only years later when I finally started to understand what all those big words meant. What does it really mean to kids who don't understand what it means, anyway? As far as the "three letter word" goes...."god" is
I agree that you should allow him to believe as he wishes, but I also think you can openly share with your son your opinion. There's a reason that he "loves" George Bush and I doubt it's from his own critical analysis. Yes, but.....is he old enough to have a "critical analysis"? He's only 7. When I was
Patriot-----You forgot to mention Sean "Saddam's foolish enabling tool" Penn, Rosie "Don't get your gun" O'Donnell and Michael "I havent owned a razor in twenty years" Moore. (By the by...why does he ALWAYS look like he just got out of bed, clothes and all?) My reply when Seanboy went to Iraq and came back declaring it free of WMDs was "Who gives a shit?" He's a nobody....at the time, everyone (including
Any moron not living in a cave for the last thirty years knows that fast food is bad for you. You're not supposed to base your whole fricking DIET on it, for crying out loud. Anybody who would do so is incredibly stupid. Fast Food is something you grab here and there for a quick lunch or to tide you over until you get home to make a real meal. Trust me, I manage a fast-food restaurant. <img src="../images/smi
Conan rules for the dry humor, kind of surreal, slightly off-the-wall set, but for straight-up middle-America......I wonder if he'll do as well as Allen, Parr, Carson and Leno?
I enjoyed your article very much; you're to be commended for your outlook. I was in a discussion on racism myself, not too long ago, with a co-worker. As a young black woman, her contention was that racism is everywhere. She sees it all the time, she says. I replied that I do, too: BET, JET Magazine, Ebony Magazine, The United Negro College Fund, The Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP. All these institutions are race-biased, geared specifically
I agree, GM.....I think we should have continued whole-heartedly in our search for bin-Laden to the exclusion of all else. Invading Iraq, at least until we were more sure of the threat they posed,was a mistake. Still, according to the word of sevral Iraq war vets I've talked to, the vast majority of Iraqis were more than glad to see Saddam go the way of the Taliban. 'Nuff said.
Yusef has condemned every single kidnapping and execution. How do you ever expect the muslim community to fight the radicals in their midst when you treat them all as radicals. Look, I don't treat all Muslims as radicals, and neither does the govern
I guess Bush had no other choice - he needed to satisfy a vengeful urge of the American public... that vengeful lust almost seems infinite... Of course there was no choice.....Afghanistan is where bin-Laden was hiding. What were we supposed to do? Go look fo
. Rightwinger: I'm all for deterrents, and this might be a wonderful deterrent...but it leaves a lot to be desired. Not if it works. Embarassment and humiliation are powerful weapons, especially to those men (and women...let's not forget that pedophilia is not restricted to men) who have something to los
My grandmother was our church organist/choir director for years, and "Morning has Broken" was one of her favorite songs. It was played at a memorial service for her, in fact. No..............Yusef Islam would not be welcome in my country, but Cat Stevens would.
This is not an OK thing for America. Our government is giving the standard vague answers. Tell you what WiseFawn: I've been choking on your America-bashing bullshit all over these forums. Go somewhere and sta
All the Dems are like this now, though; they see a chance to attack a president they dislike. So, in an effort to distance themselves from something they now see as a mistake, they conveniently forget their own past hawkish words, actions and deeds concerning Iraq. "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Literally.
If you *ever* make it to Pittsburgh, let me know! It'll be on me! drmiler: Go Steelers! I live in Indiana now, but I moved out here from Weirton, WV. I assume you know where that is? I grew up in Wheeling, and my wife is from Follansbee. I'd have a bee
Though I agree that catching criminals is best left to the police, why not try to prevent the crimes from happening at all by putting a scare into the perverts who would commit them? Justice always comes too late...after the crime is committed and the harm is done. Stop them beforehand.
Thanks, Marvin. You're not going to beat these libs with captial typeface.....you have to hit them where it hurts. With the truth.
I think Marvin may be a little misguided, but I think his overall point is right on. It does seem that the Democrats often support more of the....."morally questionable" or "suspect" activities than those of us on the right. Now, I have no problem really with homosexuals....what they do is between them and the God they ignore. When they die, they can stand before Him and answer. I may not agree with it, but who am I to judge? I'm a sinner, too.
Amendment 1 of the Constitution. Even though the actual phrase isn't in there, church and state separation is essential in a secular democratic government. This is a myth, based on the rulings of a Supreme Court dominated by liberal judges. Many scholars on both sides of the spectrum have debated it fo
