"Our country would be a lot better off if more people learned their government in a church, IMHO. Right now, many learn it in public school or liberal university. And what they learn is: "I'm a victim. Give me someone else's money.""


Yeah, that religion in politics thing worked so well ... never in human history.

[GulfBreeze]

Well why the hell don't you go join the "moderate... conservative Democrats" in their party? Because it really looks like you line up well with their stated positions.

When Christianity is used as the foundation for a government, you get the United States. When atheism is used as the foundation for a government, you get China.

[Delphinium]

Have you noticed the anti-Hunter crowd become even more unhinged as the thread continues?

They have been unhinged, and throwing every insulting cliche they can think of for weeks.

[ElPatriota]

..The 23 yr old woman was "the Blitherer". NOT "Lunatic Fringe", to whom you posted your question about married or single and requesting pictures. Lunatic Fringe is the one who insulted the Blitherer in the most egregious way...

I was just kidding... Hope i did not cause any problems.. :)

[txrangerette]

Yeah, but what amused me most was that ElPatriota thought that Lunatic Fringe was the 23 yr old female, when it was you who posted that and Lunatic Fringe who repeated it and then insulted you. And ElPatriota asked Lunatic Fringe are you married or single and to please post pictures of "herself". ROTFLMHO

Oh no, I'm deeply insulted. I'm fowarding your handle to the moderator even as I'm typing this.

Just kidding! ;-)

"No it's not. He's a protectionist and would ruin the economy."

OK... give me some facts relating to that statement.

[GulfBreeze]

I don't think it's fair to call McCain a war coward. I have a lot of problems with his positions but he did serve admirably. He did turn down a privilidge release because of his Admiral father...

I really think a sure confident promotion of our candidate, DUNCAN HUNTER! will carry us farther than anything amount of return nastiness we can dish at these jerks.

About time :>)

I thought he was running for prez himself. He posted a vanity about it a couple of weeks ago, I think. lol

[GulfBreeze]

You are about a micron deep... Why don't you read the whole story and see what is up?

How do you know he bounced any checks (and he did)?

[txrangerette]

Cause a problem? Not at all.

It just looked like you had two very different and opposite posters mixed up. I wanted your "questionable request" (only kidding) to go to the correct one.
I'm stickler for detail that way.

Ignore me.

"while the Berry Amendment, which is for defense contracts only, is not limited to contracts within the U.S." Excerpted from http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RL31236.pdf page 10 of 21.

It only gives preference to domestic firms that's it.

[Delphinium]

Wrong! I want the religious conservatives to get the hell out and form their own party.

So you admit that you are here to tear us down?

To quote from a wise freeper:

"Just a reminder. Free Republic is a conservative site. As a conservative site, we are pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-liberty, pro-constitution and pro-America. We oppose liberalism, socialism, marxism, militant feminism, whacko envirionmentalism, homosexualism, abortionism, etc, etc, etc."

From some complete idiot: No Chance In Hell

From Delphium: good because this election isn't going to be held in Hell.

haaahaaaahhaaaa Good one.

He didn't write any bad checks--they were all covered by the House Bank.

A better way of saying it is that he wrote over $100,000 in overdrafts, which did not result in bounced checks or overdraft charges. I know how the House Bank worked.

The scandal was that Americans found out what was being done for Congresscritters, that would never be done for ordinary Americans.

By the way, I used the term "bad checks" (which you copied) not bounced checks. A check written for money that is not in the account is still bad, even if it doesn't bounce.

Yeah, that religion in politics thing worked so well ... never in human history.

Who's talking about religion in politics? I'm talking about a Republic made up of informed, believing Christians who attempt to live moral live in conformity with the teachings of Christ. That model has worked extremely well when tried. We are living on the stored-up capital of such a system right now...

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Thats the guy for me. Shame so many rinos on this site say he cant get the nomination but then again they said the same thing about R.R. If a "conservative" doesnt get the nomination I will not vote for a rino and I dont care who they run against.

[3niner]

How do you know he bounced any checks (and he did)?

I didn't say he "bounced" any checks. I said that he wrote bad checks. There is a difference, words have meaning.

Sometimes one needs to be able to use multiple, independent sources of information. The Internet is a wonderful thing.
