So the problem with the religious right is that you disagree with their religious views and don’t think they should voice them in the public square...
As opposed to the atheist left?
I get it. Your problem isn’t that the religious right has their own views, you just don’t like it when they act in accordance with those views or desire to have the freedom to do so.
BTTT
No comment.
Is that better?
No thanks. Nothing really prevents you from posting it here.
This guy is behind the times in political correctness speech. Everyone is ‘right’ in their religious belief, thus the former ‘religious right’ is now more commonly known as the ‘morals voters’....
Or so it does not matter if the Hospital objects on moral principles. The government can force hospitals to assist in killing of a conceived child. Doesn't seem to be very much of a "Constitutionally Right" position to me, criminalizing religious positions. As if it being raped makes a difference. The rape position is just to get the foot in the door so they can make it a general policy like several other states have done.
I believe I heard Geraldo say something about the religious right on Bill O’s show last night.
Geraldo said that the reason the Republicans are a minority party is because of the religious right and the way it pushes its views on abortion.
At least that’s what I think I heard. Can anyone help?
Gee...I guess George Washington and Abraham Lincoln wouldn’t fit into the straight jacket of banned religious expression that you would have Christians wear today.
When a political party decides that God doesn’t fit into its platform, that’s the time Christians should disassociate themselves from that godless bunch.
IBTZ?
..newbie, why don't you lurk for a while before you give in to the urge to post your anti-religion stuff...
Lies followed by leftist bigotry. How nice.
I bit, and gave you a hit. Your blog is pathetic. I know eight years olds who could do better in a technical sense. Your content is lame and ignorant. And, you don’t even know how to spell, much less use spell-check.
I give it a minus two on a scale of one to ten.
They spewed the same crap about abortion, assuring us it would NEVER be used as a "contraceptive gone bad" measure. They lie.
How about some statistics?
The adult pregnancy rate associated with rape is estimated to be 4.7%.
AMERICAN RAPE STATISTICS
This bill is only for 4.7% of the population? How many of them do you think go to a Catholic hospital? You REALLY expect someone to buy that idea? And you want to ignore the First Amendment (Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;) in order to unConstitutionally hog tie a group that you dislike. Remember that when you deny others their Constitutional rights, yours are next.
American Facists: The Christian Right and The War on America Chris Hedges...
I am trying to read this but it’s so full of BS...
Here’s a Sample Review...
The Christian Right, like these early fascist movements, does not openly call for dictatorship, nor does it use
physical violence to suppress opposition. In short, the movement is not yet revolutionary. But the ideological architecture of a Christian fascism is being cemented in place. The movement has roused its followers to a fever pitch of despair and fury. All it will take, Hedges writes, is one more national crisis on the order of September 11 for the Christian Right to make a concerted drive to destroy American democracy. The movement awaits a crisis. At that moment they will reveal themselves for what they truly are — the American heirs to fascism. Hedges issues a potent, impassioned warning. We face an imminent threat. His book reminds us of the dangers liberal, democratic societies face when they tolerate the intolerant.”
Explain, please, why I should increase the hit count to your personal web blog when you’re the author of the piece and can post your article in its entirety here on FR.
No fair trying to get hits to your blog!!!
Calm down now! You might get a little dizzy running in so many circles.
Hmmm, I'm pondering whether you might need to meet the following inhabitant of my abode...
Whatcha think?
Well, do ya feel lucky? Do ya?
Oh, those mean and evil Christian extremists! Next they will want women wearing burkas!
Never mind the consistent church position that life begins at conception. Never mind that this pill in an abortafacient - the embryo, although conceived, is prevented from attaching to the uterine wall, and/or everything, lining and all, is expelled. Never mind that, logically, this is no different than an abortion, except that it is immediate and is accomplished with drugs rather that instruments.
The author claims the church goes too far, but completely fails to recognize that there is no other logical position for it to take. The author indicates he is an agnostic. I quite agree – some of the root meanings of that work fit him nicely:
”a”-the nullification of the rest of the word, and “gnostic”- one meaning is to “know”, as in: “to be aware of the truth or factuality of : be convinced or certain of b : to have a practical understanding of”.
So then, the author confesses he is missing practical understanding. I agree.
