…since the last one. Stuff happens. (Proof read or not, typos become most glaringly obvious the instant AFTER you hit the “Enter” or “Submit” button. My computer screen actually reaches out and slaps me: You idiot!)

What caught me was: “The women from The View are considered intellectuals…”

The thought had never occurred to me. (The terms “unbearable” and “self-important,” however…) If there is some manner of testing to determine who is or is not an intellectual, those behind it should be forced to go back and run it through the “testing it on rats” phase.

Heart-breaker: The thought that there are people who may actually be influenced by the opinions of Whoopi Goldberg. Ewww…

You just heard the virtuous voice of a fellow Libertarian. Not to easy for a Republican to grasp, eh?

that allows them to support a Candidate that can’t win and allow Democrats to keep their 60th Cloture vote…. in some way shape or form, it all comes back to them excusing the worst of choices to continue to be elected.

I didn’t bother to read it all… was the usual, ultimately always pulled, “words have meaning” bs pulled? when what they mean is that no matter what words are used, they are never the right ones unless they come from the mouths of a Party that can and never will get anyone elected and never helps solve anything (or, at least, stop things from getting worse if not getting them reversed).

as for the bias thing… long on record regarding such:
+MSM bias – MSM bias – shaping elections rather than reporting on them
+(VotePsych) Bandwagoning Voting Psychology (Bandwagon and other effects)
+MSM challenge – The “Pretend you’re a Liberal MSM reporter (and Spin the story)” Challenge

Limited government is an oxymoron.
Government is a disease masquerading as a cure for all society. If it was possible, and it isn’t, we could repeal 90% of all the laws in this country and society would be richer for it. If you believe in Freedom then look up the word. It is having liberty and independence, it means not taxed. We are taxed to death. And if Obama has his way we will be taxed in death as well..

that we are forced to tolerate because the alternative (anarchy) is so much worse. Each and every time that we make a decision to entrust government with some power, we give it the authority to use violence and the threat of same to achieve those ends. If you look at the way that the Founders framed the federal government, it is apparent that they, as a group, didn’t much care for good governance; checks and balances are a damper on “good governance”.

Also, the best way for the government to support Christianity is by giving it, and other religions, a level playing field to operate on, with bias towards none. If Jesus is who he says he is, it’s almost unfair to demand comparatively insignificant government and systemic advantages!!

First, his actual words were:

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

My challenge to you is to reconcile that with your statement, along with the following:

The government of the United States is not in any sense founded upon the Christian religion.

Speaking as a Christian who holds beliefs–the doctrines of Sovereign Grace–that John Adams explicitly and intentionally rejected, I nevertheless commend him for recognizing that the essence of Christianity is most explicitly NOT its “moral teachings”. That distinction seems strange to contemporary Christians, but only because the dual tracks, beginning in the early 1800s, of liberal social activism and legalistic social behavior improvement programs have so infected the American church that Christianity and morality have become synonomous to many. On both tracks, the gospel of Jesus Christ has become either nearly forgotten or outright rejected.

Adams’ distinction is necessary, first, because the secular government simply cannot tell me how to stand justified, clothed in an alien righteousness, before the thrice-holy Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and second, because the moral commonality of a citizenry sufficient to undergird a representative government can be found, with local variants, across mankind (a fact acknowledge by Christianity itself).

Let me be more specific about my challenge to your statement. Are you saying that a constitutional republic CANNOT work, let’s say, in any of: Japan, India, Iraq?

1. Roe is overturned, or somehow the “federal right” to an abortion is abrogated, and the legality is returned to the states.

2. A State outlaws abortion based on the legal theory that an unborn baby is a “person” at conception and as such has Constitutional rights. Said State structures it’s law in a way that abortion would be legal in the case where carrying the child to term would result in the death of the mother, giving the mother the right of self defense.

3. A woman sues the State, based on the theory that an unborn baby is not a “person” at law and thus has no Constitutional rights and as a living person she does and should be allowed to have an abortion.

4. The case goes to SCOTUS and they hold in favor of the State, citing specifically that the unborn child is indeed a “person” entitled to Constitutional rights and that an abortion, absent the exception noted, and that an abortion would deny the child the right to due process.

Those events, which I understand are dependent on the makeup of SCOTUS but are not all that far-fetched, would effectively outlaw abortion in the US.

I find that outcome to be good, primarily because I do believe that the Constitution protects “the least of us” and that human life does begin at conception and is worth of legal protection.

What say you?

Maybe this time it will be different……..(the mantra of the co-dependant). Oh well, I’ve thrown in anyway and would do it again. It’s the cross we have to bear when dealing with the lib GOPers.
