Can you point to a post where metmon said we have to believe in God the way [metmon does]? If not, your above is a strawman argument.
” Can you believe this? LOL!!! “
Yes we can!!
;-)
Thank you for your kind words.
You can’t legislate morality. The liberals try to all the time and how does that work for them? Affirmative action quotas, Anti- gun laws, School bussing, Anti- bullying legislation. How has all this worked? Has racism stopped, are gun crimes down, do black children learn better, and I am sure the same success rate on bullying. The only one that works is political correctness. Why? It is taught, the person who steps out of line gets punished for not being politically correct.
Do you think the Tea Party can do a better job than the liberals on the legislative front?
We had one small victory and if you look at the numbers some were pretty close. We are getting ahead of ourselves. The revolutionary war was 8 long years. The Constitution was not adopted after Concord, it was not until 1787. We must pick our battles and teach morality, not try to pass laws.
Right now the best thing we can do is continue in the fight for smaller government. Expel from the Tea Party those that break the sacred trust we put in them when elected. Teach by example, don’t game the system, don’t compromise our core beliefs, and don’t reward bad behavior like Harlem did for Charlie.
The founding fathers didn’t insist you believe in the Christian ethic but they wanted everyone to know that is how they will run this country.
LOL!!!
Here you go: I am a Christian. Many of you are a bunch of Bible- thumping jackasses who play right into the role the media uses to marginalize you though.
If you think the Gubmint is where morality should be defined, well you are not a real patriot in my book. You are just loudmouths who are trying to impose your religious beliefs on others. Exactly the reason the first Europeans left Europe for the new world.
That should get me zotted.
You are dealing with a bunch of zealots on this thread. Good luck.
Nonsense, laws against murder, rape, robbery, arson, etc. are all about morality.
Laws about morality are the only thing that protects us from anarchy.
Do you think the Tea Party can do a better job than the liberals on the legislative front?
Not if they try to silence or marginalize conservatives.
We must pick our battles and teach morality, not try to pass laws.
52 MILLION Americans have been murdered in the past 38 years and one more is murdered EVERY 24 SECONDS, do you have a threshold in mind where you would be willing to fight the battle?
Right now the best thing we can do is continue in the fight for smaller government.
It's time that libertarians learned that limited government does not necessarily mean small government. Government has a function and it is to defend our rights.
Why are you asking me to delete your account? I would happily do it if I could, but I can't.
I can’t believe after 15 years i don’t want to be here anymore.
Hmmm...FR was started in 1997, you joined in 2001...math obviously isn't your strong suit.
You can’t legislate morality.
” Nonsense, laws against murder, rape, robbery, arson, etc. are all about morality. “
Even prostitution is illegal. Drunkenness in public, and drugs are illegal. Almost everything that cheapens society is illegal, except the worst one, abortion.
Good grief. You see the 3 in my tagline. You don’t think I had previous logins? Lol. fr was opened on to the public in 97. So if it makes you happy , 13 .5 years. You’re doing a greaat job of running off allies you jackass.
Signups began in 97. FR was here in 96.
We need to abolish Obamacare, cut all kinds of programs and entitlements out of the budget and send lots of government employees out to the private sector to work.
IMO these are not religious goals.
If our fiscal house was in order we could risk losing majorities to abolish abortion and other things.
I don't know who gave them the right to speak for all Tea Party People in that letter, but IMO we have primary fiscal issues, not religious ones at this time.
I saw it and, based on your level of maturity and intellectual ability, I just assumed that it represented the last grade you successfully completed in school.
You don’t think I had previous logins?
I know that Jim frowns upon multiple logins, but I'm not at all surprised that you are a retread.
What were some of your other names?
lolol. You picked the wrong time to interject your liberal ideas into this thread, FRiend.
lolololol
” What libertarians usually mean by “don’t legislate morality” is that they don’t want anyone to take away their drugs, prostitutes, pornography and abortion. “
Correct, and we have more than a few at FR who want us to lay off their drug use. And, IIRC, NAMBLA doesn’t believe in legislating morality either.
I was just speaking the truth. :)
