I'm not blaming us for their hatred. I'm blaming us and other industrialized countries for contributing significantly to their instability. We can and should admit that about ourselves. We have made a concerted effort to keep them unstable. It's an ugly truth.
It really would not matter imo. They are going to fight everyone who does not agree with them even if we helped them at every turn.
 
70% of the nation self identifies as Christian.

Practically everything our forefathers wrote about regarding religion was Christian based.

We are, and always have been, a Christian nation.
 
My stance on abortion is simple...It is murder of an innocent human being if it is simply for conscience purposes .
I read some scripture that suggested life doesn't begin until a baby takes it's first breath. Most abortions take place a long time before that so maybe it's not really murder.... Hope not!
 
What the hell would you have done about 911?...Nothing?

With full hindsight (and probably a little foresight) doing nothing was probably our best play.

We're never going to fully eliminate the threat of terrorism. And spending upwards of $3 trillion to rebuild backwards nations, one of which had zero to do with the events of 9/11/01, certainly didn't do a thing to diminish threats to the US. The worlds most expensive whack-a-mole game.

We should have sent in a few teams to eliminate the leaders of Al Queda, no one in the Afghani region would have stopped us, puppet government of the US in place or not. And that's it. Yes, the leadership of Afghanistan and Iraq prior to the operations was pure evil............as are multiple nations' leaders that we ignore.

Quick to dismiss other faiths, but quick to get all holy when theirs is dismissed.
.

I wonder how many among the primary group which supports most all racial quota hiring processes would be quick to dismiss a similar application for the NBA? Get all holy about it, indeed.
 
If the Republicans were smart (which they decidedly are not) then they would run a ticket of Rubio and Kasich. That's Florida and Ohio vs Hillary and that's about as good a shot as they are going to get. I thought Rubio easily won the "debate" but it really wasn't a debate at all. More like surrounding some middling political candidates with some certifiably insane people to make them look better.

What is interesting to me is how much the Republican establishments wants Walker to be the nominee but they laughably are trying to hide it. Like prodding him along hoping he will catch on. Not going to happen. Walker reminds me of a Happy Meal Toy for some reason. Just nothing there. All plastic and molded. Like they poured him into a candidate then unsealed him for the campaign. Candidate X. He looks like a Stepford Wife.

Jeb is so bland and uninspiring. He should be in the funerary business as he has the disposition for it. Also nobody will ever be elected president that has nose holes you can see that far up into in the television age. He looks constipated like he's going to burp and his eyebrows are constantly raised like he's surprised everyone around him will entertain the idea that another Bush is trying to get elected president.

Christie and Huckabee looked like somebody farted on them. Scowling and surly. Just what everybody wants in a dangerous world... a mentally unstable hothead for a president that gets mad and wants to fight if you ask them a question.

Carson was such an out-of-place token that I actually laughed out loud. He was a placeholder. Might as well have been on Star Trek wearing the red shirt. You know he's toast whenever it becomes convenient and his purpose as a token has been served. That was so patronizing that it added nicely to the overall absurdity of the proceeding.

By keeping them unstable we don't allow the opportunity for a quality education system to arise. An education that might lead them to a better understanding the world, other cultures, etc. Science, mathmatics, literacy, all the elements that built civilization are severely lacking in this wasteland. Kids are indoctrinated at a young age to believe in this violence, to live in accordance to this violence. Who knows what may arise in a stable Middle East. It has to be better than what the unstable Middle East has given us.

We aren't pure evil but I think others have a decent argument when you look at our history of aggression, coercion, manipulation, etc.

Practically all out forefathers were slave owners. So why don't we own slaves then?

If our forefathers devout Christians for a Christian based government then why was quite a few prominent creators of the Constitution members of The Free Masons?

Cool.

But we aren't a THEOCRACY aka "government of a state by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided."

What's your point? Denying people basic rights based on the dominant faith is exactly what the founders didn't want us to do. There isn't a national church. Christianity has hundreds of sects, so which one should we use to go by? Some aren't that bad because they don't try to tell others to live like them. Others are awful and only a few steps up from those brown people religions so many people who might vote in a GOP primary hate.
 
If the donald were to become president would he make it a law that anyone from Indian descent must provide papers proving they are legal? If so all subways maybe in trouble since I have yet to see a subway or a mom and pops gas station not owned my someone from Indian descent.

I think you're spot on. That's what I'm evolving to, I think. I said that I wanted us to live as a nation that glorifies God to received His blessings, but have come to the realization that we can't be the Hebrew people. That is not what God has called us to be. Instead of honoring God at a personal level, like we are called to do, I tried to project that onto a national level, which we aren't called to do. As for "legislating morality", we do that all the time. Anti-discrimination laws at their very heart are based on "morality." I guess it depends on what your source of morality is, I guess. People are hostile to God, and don't want to acknowledge His authority. I get that, but good luck making any laws protecting the minority groups without using "legislating morality."
Matt. 18 2-6...Matt. 18-10...1Peter 2:2-3...Matt. 18:12-14...Mark 10:13-16...Luke 18 15-17 ...Psalms 127:3-5...Jesus Christ would NEVER have condoned abortion...Treating "a child of God" like a child of God is not "legislating morality" ...It should be a given...I will give anyone it is one of the three most heinous things this country has ever done...Totally a different subject from abortion which is murder NO MATTER how much you legislate it and how many bows you wrap around it , it's nothing but murdering one of God's little children.

How many black NBA team owners are there then?

gifted quota ownership then. I'm all for it. btw, I've decided to identify myself as black. Just like that person formerly known as a white girl in charge of the NAACP. any franchise will do. I'm not picky, although I hate the Lakers and will trade Kobe for almost any average white player in the league just to show my non-racial bias - as a black owner that is.

What the Bible says about Abortion

Abortion is not murder. A fetus is not considered a human life.

If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life. -- Exodus 21:22-23

The Bible places no value on fetuses or infants less than one month old.

And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver. -- Leviticus 27:6

Fetuses and infants less than one month old are not considered persons.

Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them. And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD. --Numbers 3:15-16

God sometimes approves of killing fetuses.

And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? ... Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. -- Numbers 31:15-17
(Some of the non-virgin women must have been pregnant. They would have been killed along with their unborn fetuses.)

Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. -- Hosea 9:14

Yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb. -- Hosea 9:16

Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. -- Hosea 13:16

God sometimes kills newborn babies to punish their parents.

Because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. -- 2 Samuel 12:14

God sometimes causes abortions by cursing unfaithful wives.

The priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell. And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen. ...
And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. --Numbers 5:21-21, 27-28

God's law sometimes requires the execution (by burning to death) of pregnant women.

Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. -- Genesis 38:24
 
Psalm 137:9 Happy shall he be, that takes and dashes your little ones against the stones.

So out of all the candidates currently running who is best? IMO Kasich is the more I read and learn up on him.

Sadly I'm not sure he wins the republican nominee. Even more sad is IF it was Trump vs Clinton I'd be forced off my couch to vote trump, and I'm confused as to how I really feel about that.
 
God will force parents to eat their own children.

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. --Leviticus 26:29

And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters. -- Deuteronomy 28:53

And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend. -- Jeremiah 19:9

God killed all the firstborn children in an entire country.

The LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon.... And there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. --Exodus 12:29-30

God would NEVER harm a child!!!!! Right sluggercatfan? There's a lot more, but I guess that's enough for now.
 
2 GOP threads (Trump, debate) stay up for over a week but an HRC one lasts about 30 minutes. Interesting. Should we have a contest to name the date we actually see on the Dems or faux moderates break down why they are voting for HRC or Bernie?
 
Hillary must be concerned about Rubio. She took an expected shot at Trump yesterday, but attempted to take one at Rubio too.

Thats usually how I gauge things too. Her internal polling must show something, but I cant imagine what. Otherwise why even utter his name?

Just gonna leave this here for those of us clamoring for higher minimum wages.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/another-minimum-wage-backfire-1439249236

As with many liberal policies, I think this is just another thats pandering for votes. Right now, there are tons of people struggling financially, for one reason or the next. The left know these poor, uninformed voters are more than willing to show up and vote if you pander with increased minimum wage, handouts, etc.

Then when it fails, which everyone knew would happen, they can just blame it on the evil corporations and republicans.

Of course a minumum wage hike will result in loss of jobs. Any semi informed person could see this coming from a mile away. So pandering is the only rationale that makes any sense at all.
 
A socialist, a criminal and Joe Biden walk into a bar.

Bartender says, jesus Christ I know FTS loves to troll about Donald Trump, but look at you people.

Honestly, where the hell did they even find Joe Biden? If they can find him, Lois Leaner and Hilary's emails should be a walk in the park.

God can do anything He wants: He does not answer to us.

We do not have the same authority.
