...Like Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and almost every other so-called GOP frontrunner, Pawlenty is a creationist, whos in favor of teaching intelligent design creationism to children as science...

Clemenza, we need a ‘war-time’ Godfather.
Not the GWOT, but the left.
Who’s our best fighter?
You are wrongly talking smack wrt Catholic Church.
They are the strongest mainstream church standing up for family, marriage and life including rights of unborn.
Awesome quote. Worth repeating. Another God-fearing science-loving anti-idiotarian right-wing conservative. Good on ya!
I agree. I think he just set everything up and let it run.

They're also the number one promoters of "theistic evolution" and Biblical "higher criticism" in the religious world. This is why they are in such a mess at the present time and why they will eventually cave on the other issues as well.
What good is being "moral" while ripping the Word of G-d into tatters? Secular humanists do as much.
Palin has spunk, but that doesn’t necessarily make her a fighter. We have a big deficiency in that department. Hillary has more balls than any of the leading Republicans. :(
Thanks thanks.
I could live with Pawlenty as the nominee, even if he’s nothing spectacular. He’s certainly an improvement over the current occupant. But even Romney is better than what we have now.
Mitch Daniels earns points for ability, but he remains pretty aloof from party-building. Bobby Jindal has potential, but he needs a speech coach.
LOL. Nice satire.
In 1898, the Supreme Court in United States v. Wong Kim Ark declared that the Fourteenth Amendment adopted the common-law definition of birthright citizenship. Chief Justice Melville W. Fullers dissenting opinion, however, argued that birthright citizenship had been repealed by the principles of the American Revolution and rejected by the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment. Nonetheless, the decision conferred birthright citizenship on a child of legal residents of the United States. Although the language of the majority opinion in Wong Kim Ark is certainly broad enough to include the children born in the United States of illegal as well as legal immigrants, there is no case in which the Supreme Court has explicitly held that this is the unambiguous command of the Fourteenth Amendment.
No.
“Bobby Jindal has potential, but he needs a speech coach.”
I was just saying that same thing today.
Pawlenty has the potential to be a major dark horse although he has some steep numbers to rise up from.
Apparently Newt has been making some noises of late.
Sadly I agree. Hillary’s the biggest man in either party. And her grasping after the nomination months after she was written off - man, a thing of pure nixonian ambition.
We need that juice in the GOP. We lost that mojo when we lost Tom DeLay. that’s it - we dont need a new Reagan, we need a new Tom Delay. lol.
At first I was afraid Palin’s resignation might have been a ‘run away’ action, but reconsidered reading her speech on it.
If Obama’s the headache I will grasp any GOP pill as the cure.
“This is why they are in such a mess at the present time”
LOL, Episcopalians are fleeing their church to come to the catholic church to grab a lifeline of orthodox Christianity.
The Catholic Church has been endorsing science advance for 2 millenia, dont confuse that support for abandonment of Christian faith in any way shape or form. The Nicene Creed remains undisturbed for 1700 years.
So global warming isn’t the only bad “science” that Pawlenty is in too huh?
I could live with no arms or legs, but I'd rather not. :o
The Catholic Church isn't far behind. It'll find itself at the same place the Episcopal Church is in now, perhaps much sooner than you think. And it began the same way in the Episcopal Church--downgrading the Word of G-d to didactic mythology.

As I understand it, the "official" beliefs of Catholicism don't reduce to the text of the Nicene Creed, which is very flexible or else it still wouldn't be around in a church that has changed so radically over the centuries.
I'm not complaining about "abandonment of the chr*stian faith." Chr*stian faith is part of the problem. No wonder most chr*stians think the Torah is nonsense!
“As I understand it, the “official” beliefs of Catholicism don’t reduce to the text of the Nicene Creed, which is very flexible or else it still wouldn’t be around in a church that has changed so radically over the centuries.”
The Catholic Catechism is much more substantive than the Nicene Creed, and reflects the fuller expression of the “official” beliefs of the Catholic church. If you look at the Catholic Catechism, you will see it has NOT changed radically over the centuries. Vatican II was a change to sacraments and many other things, but not substantially to core Catholic doctrine afaik.
The Catholic Church has been far more rock-solid than most any of the ‘mainline’ Protestant churches, and part of the reason for that is that the Catholic Church was and is able to lean on 20 centuries of tradition to deflect the leftists infiltration and demands to ‘modernize’. Protestant mainline churches were more exposed to the attack, which in those churches has led to lesbian bishops, abandonment of Christian orthodoxy, substitution of liberal feelgoodism for true moral teaching, and empty pews.
The leftist virus is strong, so I wont claim the Catholic church is fully immune.
That ain't sayin' much, I'm afraid. You obviously have no contact with read Fundamentalist Protestants.
My beef with the Catholic/Orthodox/mainstream churches is that they are hostile to the Hebrew Bible and try to subvert it into myth and chr*stology. But then, I suppose that's what they have to do.
