I am not an apologist for every one of Dr. Dobson’s positions and expressions. He may not be very familiar with federalism. I don’t know. And he may not understand Fred Thompson’s position, precisely because his focus is on the moral and spiritual side, more than the political and the governmental.
But there have been, in this thread, a few over-the-edge remarks and negative implications against Dr. Dobson’s personal character that are uncalled for.
If I were to assume a position of influence in state or federal government, I would certainly call upon Dr. James Dobson for counsel on many issues.
Apparently the only thing that the Columbia students reacted negatively to in Ahmadinejad's speech today at Columbia was him saying that there were not homosexuals in Iran. They laughed and booed. Everything else they let him mumble away about and even clapped for him.
If you didn't know it, most of the "secret" and "holy" stuff in the Temples was copied from the Masonic rituals. Real holy stuff. Google it.
The Cal Ripken of Sunday school.
“Like the evangelist Ted Haggard? Sure looks like a valid comparison to me.”
Yeah, like Ted Haggard, who got booted from his perch for being involved in the same lifestyle as Ernst Roehm, head of Hitler’s Brownshirts. Though any comparison of Haggard’s church (which booted him) to the local Nazi beer hall crowd in Munich would, of course, be as crudely extremist as your earlier assertions that American Christians are comparable to the Nazis.
According to respected Univ. of Berlin historian, in his book “The Hidden Hitler,” Hitler himself was a homosexual prostitute in Vienna and maintained a long-term sexual relation with some guy he met in the German army in WW I.
Since you think it fair game, a question: do you hate Christians as much as Hitler hated Jews? Have you murdered any Christians?
Don’t let that question distract you from the little project of providing examples of evangelical Christians “destroying” the GOP or trying to impose their values “at the point of a gun.”
So that you don’t needlessly waste your time or ours, you need to identify a political movement to do so, as you allege, not just some individual wacko who happens to claim to be a Christian. No doubt you’ll find limitless variations of demographic characteristics such as religion, skin color, age, etc, among people guilty of various crimes.)
It’s just that those who engaged in homosexual behavior were over-represented among the leadership of the German Nazi Party in the 30’s.
This thread is still kickin? LOL
It was on the front page when I logged back in a few minutes ago. Most of the responses I read somehow had to do with Romney though....
Where’s your reference for the $1.5 million figure?
What was it that led you to hate Christians so much, radioman? Tragic....
LOL
The only better news for the Thompson camp would be for Alan Keyes and Ron Paul to hold a summit and call Thompson a nanny-nanny-poo-poo.
Seems like it become a discussion on Mormonism. Certainly not my intent.
No one should be held accountable for what happens on their thread after the first 100 or 200 posts.
LOL
“Newt’s own personal marriage issues reflect the exact opposite of what he espouses...”
What does Newt espouse? Because he seems like a different person. I actually like him now, before I couldn’t stand him. Has something changed? Newt doesn’t seem like the same awful person he used to be.
that’s sad isn’t it?
“I have made no such comparison.”
You said evangelical Christians pose the same threat to America that the Nazis posed to Germany in the 1930’s. Your comparison was clear, though it’s understandable you now retreat from it.
“It’s those who demand that everyone conform to their dogma who I take exception to.”
No, what you actually accused them of was attempting to force their values on others “at the point of a gun.” Though, again, it’s understandable that you now wish to retreat to more defensible rhetoric.
“Today’s evilvangelicals ARE the modern-day pharisees.”
I never have been impressed with them as a group, now it makes sense. I go to church, but I prefer the type that doesn’t put these people on pedatsals.
