OK, let’s make the NFL touch football.
So it’s OK for you to use, “bullshit” — and not a quote from someone else — in your post, but not OK for Trump to repeat, “pussy”? OY!
Take a course in grammar, please. You’ll be more credible.
Cruz (1) won’t waterboard a terrorist, and (2) said he aligns with John McCain. The man has discernment issues. On many levels.
The only verbiage-related sin is taking the Lord’s name in vain. Everything else is just words.
With Cruz going Gantry and throwing around his religion, God, etc., on the campaign stump to pander to voters is self-serving and taking the Lord’s name in vain.
When one can’t rebut, analyze grammar. Hope that you can shame the statement away.
So you say... here. But you really do, don’t you? ;-)
We did glean important information from one of the Gitmo guys via waterboarding that was critical in getting bin Laden.
“Intelligence garnered from waterboarded detainees was used to track down al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and kill him, CIA Chief Leon Panetta told NBC News on Tuesday.
‘Enhanced interrogation techniques” were used to extract information that led to the mission’s success, Panetta said during an interview with anchor Brian Williams. Those techniques included waterboarding, he acknowledged.”

“Every great man that I know - the MOST honorable men that I know - are the heaviest cursers. They are honest.”
And the best bosses I’ve ever worked for used very rough language. They’re fair and they’re honest.
Not saying that...if it’s so profound that his supporters swoon at every juvenile Tweet and incoherent gaseous emission he utters, then he should OWN his statements instead of running from them.
Yes; I really want line officers administering widespread waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques on the battlefield if it’ll get critical information and/or save even one American’s life. Really.
“As in female’s vagina.”
Since you brought up the subject... Do you know what goes on when young Muslim women and girls are force to undergo clitorectomies? A few Muslim women hold down the girl during the unspeakable barbaric procedure without anesthetic. For the rest of her life she’ll never have pleasurable relations with her husband.
Other issues are that Muslim women are often held prisoners in their own homes. They can’t speak to a man or look at a man in the eye. They’re covered from head to toe with burkas. They’re denied educations. They’re murdered in “honor killings” — by their own families.
If any of you have daughters, granddaughters, nieces, etc., this IS their future in America if illegal immigration isn’t stopped and Muslim people are allowed to continue to come to our country. Some areas of the country already are receptive to Sharia law. C’mon!
And y’all are focused on a WORD which may or may not be a little naughty? There are bigger issues, in case you don’t know that.
When I saw that almost 70% of people questioned during exit polls want the Muslim influx stopped, I knew that Trump would win the night. He’s the only one who is committed to protecting America’s borders. (Maybe that’s because he’s the only one of the top three who is 100% American. I don’t know.) Cruz, Rubio, and Bush are more than squishy on the subject.
And I’ve seen people get all stirred up over, “pissant” and “niggardly”, thinking they’re not “nice”.
Language is interesting. A perfectly acceptable word in one era becomes off-color later. I think “piss” was just a normal word around Old English times; now it’s questionable. Bottom line, words are words.
Profanity is described in the Ten Commandments. Some here go to the Urban Dictionary. Of the two, I’ll take the Bible.
“Ted Cruz is a typical preacher’s boy.”
I’m a preacher’s kid, and Cruz creeps me out! He’s the kind of person who gives Christians a bad name. Pandering to the evangelicals during campaign speeches is blasphemy and taking the Lord’s name in vain.
I’m a preacher’s kid, too!
That’s why I’m now Jewish...
My dad *was* that preacher...
