Red, Blue, separation of church and state, who did you vote for and why? Are you opposed to making our country a Christian theocracy? What do you think of the Tea Party movement, or the right wing conservative Republican agenda?
I voted for Romney. Virgil Goode had** zero **chance to win this election, Gary Johnson doesn’t seem to understand what being a libertarian is (then again, neither do most libertarians) and Obama is going to cause considerable damage to this country if not destroy it outright.
And yes, a lot of “conservatives” who I keep hearing about will rise up and stop it really won’t.
But, I think that a lot of people on here who didn’t vote for Romney or GOP Senate candidates are going to shortly wish they had.
My idea has been to get back to federalism, which I must say is a very unpopular idea on here.
I was welcomed with open arms by “conservatives” but since I’ve expressed my views about blindly and hastily running to support Israel or other countries, who believe it or not
puts their interests ahead of ours, and that we shouldn’t subsidize farms or football stadiums, well, they’ve haven’t so hasty to applaud me.
I always find it funny about they are more than willing to cut Section 8 and welfare, but not those things.
This is why the democrats know they can negotiate with the republicans over and over and get their way. :banghead:
Game, set, match.
It’s been suggested that we should have a Catholic theocracy. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and while the Protestant faiths are declining nicely here in the Western World, I doubt they’d be on board.
We also tried a microcosm of that, with Prohibition. That sure worked out well.
I would rather not have any one religion running this country, and I think that our best bet is for the states to decide on issues like marriage and abortion, which doesn’t sit well with some in the pro-life movement who I guess are content to keep on spinning their wheels despite the fact that Court today would very possibly strike down Roe V Wade.
Instead, grrrrr!!! We’re going to grind our heels in rape and incest and get purists every time! Even if means getting the likes of Claire McCaskill and Joe Donnely elected.
Never-mind that even ultra pro-life states like SD and MS have REJECTED that!
On the other hand, there are Catholics who vote against their faith for the same reasons other Christians do:
To feel and look good in front of others
To be popular and cool
To feel “enlightened”, as though you’ve figured something out, although in reality, it’s been tried before and failed
Thinking you’ll get credit while sitting at home using the force of government to take the labour of others under the false guise of “equality” and “fairness” while you sacrifice nothing.
I mean, really folks, when you write this stuff, do you really believe that we buy it?
At this point, the “you don’t know me” or “you think I don’t help” or “how can you know” whiny posts hit the forum.
In which case, the responses are easy:
–When you write on here, you reveal more than you realize, especially if you do so under emotion,
–No, I don’t think you help as much as you’d like me to believe, because the numbers are clear: Conservatives give FOUR TIMES as much to charity despite making LESS. I also know that some folks think volunteering for a few hours a month cuts it.
Using government to do your dirty work doesn’t count and I doubt it’ll fly with Jesus.
–I don’t have to know you or all about you to make these logical deductions, a process you think your side has a monopoly on.
This is the type of post that no one wants to hear but addresses a lot of 800 pound gorillas.
My freedom of conscious and self-determination tells me I’d rather donate my hard earned money to the Church and trust the Church rather than O’Bama, O’Bama Care and all his entitlements.
