"And I guarantee it wasn't the "social conservatives" who led the fight for those freedoms."

Where did you receive your history lessons? LOL!

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Good post! It illustrates the clear truth that these false profits are obviously unaware of.

Perhaps even they will one day read the scriptures they claim to represent and be convicted of their own evil design.

Sir, I was not judging you, why so touchy? I was referring to Guiliani, that's all. I have this same argument with my husband, and I understand what you're saying, and was responding to that, not "who you are" sheesh I am just so sick of compromising everything I hold dead and don't want to be bullied into choosing between the lesser of two evils. Evil is evil, why can't we hold to that?

[SaintDismas]

hold dead=hold dear, dang death is the issue here :(

"Perhaps even they will one day read the scriptures they claim to represent and be convicted of their own evil design."

We can only pray so and I have begun to pray for them.

You're confusing freedom with license.

[madprof98]

It is a far more free America today for all Americans than it was when I was born. And I guarantee it wasn't the "social conservatives" who led the fight for those freedoms.

You guys don't take long to show your true colors. Your way of thinking was well captured in The Greater Generation: In Defense of the Baby Boomer Legacy, a secularist screed that argues we are a better country because we are free to shack up with other guys and/or shack up with girls and then kill any babies that result. Rudy is your kinda guy.

I love the improvement (I also love your "about" page and couldn't agree more).

"...the ancient day equivalent of the immigrants and homosexuals..."


What are you the modern day equivalent of?

[LiteKeeper]

This will be known as "The Manifesto of the Great Compromise!"

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

My apologies. Somehow I read that into what you said.

The coming election is a turning point for this country. It will go to the left no matter how hard we try to stop it.

The general opinion of the overall public is against conservative principals. The younger generations are now coming into focus as they become of voting age. Unfortunately for us, these young voters are liberal and the evil being perpetuated by the MSM is in control of this current World we live in.

Only the second coming can change it now. To think the opposite is only living in denial.

[nitzy]

It's just a repackaged "relativity" argument

I don't know about that. Judging by earlier comments it might be more of an "existence of god" or "Christianity is evil" argument.

[Cedric]

Got sack cloth?

[Old_Mil]

Sojournors is a stalking horse for the democratic party. If you look at the list of preacher-types that have signed on to it, they are leftists. Perhaps the best (only?) known name on that list is pro-gay Tony Campolo.

You'd expect an article like this to come from that group, but it merely represents wishful thinking on their part, not news or political reality.

[Poincare]

...one line in my speeches always draws cheers...

He's preaching to his own choir.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Got razor wire? Bunker ready?

[ClaireSolt]

Keep in mind that FR is regularly and often swamped by subversives from the other side.

[narby]

religion has too often been used as a wedge to divide people, rather than as a bridge to bring us together

Science bashing creationists......

[Blackirish]

These young minds have been indoctrinated with images of Socialism that show it as the correct ideology

I don't think thats working tom well. From the suburbs to the city around Chicago the competition in the grade schools and high schools is ruthless. These kids want to get high grades so they can get to a prestigious collage and then make the big bucks. I think this is the most aggressively capitalistic generation ever.
