Based on conversations with some of my conservative thinking friends, the conservative thought process for the non Tea Tard is; Tax Reductions + Multiplier Effect = The Little People Win (Derp)
Inside Bachmann's Brain

you know conservatives: all they do is hire PR firms to follow them through the muck & mire of the lower 5th ward for when they trot out their most recent negro friends
and how do you feel about parochial schools, madrassas, or saudi funded schools?
which, as we all know, results in clitorectomies, beheddings, & systematic subjugation of their kind, all converted at the tip of the spear.
we know this to be true.
They are (mostly) white and overall better looking, can't be much more different than that.
Thats exactly my point. I dont find those schools disturbing per se, just like I wouldnt have a problem with say conservative Islamic schools, or JW schools, etc.
I find disturbing the perceived Biblical mandate to change US policy/law and fill various/all political offices per said mandate. This has ZERO substantiation in the Scriptures.
I think theres a fine line between someone of faith running for and holding office, and someone of faith running/holding said office because they were mandated by God to ensure the US govt would be filled with Christians.
Im listening to the book Jesus wants to save Christians by Rob Bell and Don Golden. One of the phrases early on in the book that I found interested was: a Christian should get very nervous when the flag and the Bible start holding hands.
Yea, but will the chicks do anything besides missionary?They are (mostly) white and overall better looking, can't be much more different than that.
I suppose I could have worded it better. I'm not opposed to religious/educational institutions, however I raise a brow when a religious leader preaches towards changing policy and law and also creates educational outlets that specifically cater towards that goal. I think the intent at that point is pretty transparent.
Re: Stinkle - I'm aware that you're trolling, but lets not kid ourselves. If Pat Robertson was unlucky enough to slide out of a vagina say a brown person in Afghanistan, I'm sure he wouldn't be responsible for Oxford V2.0.
The religious chicks I 'met' in my prior life would let you get away with 10x anybody else. I'm not sure why, but I have a feeling that it's decades of repression letting free in a few hours.
I bet you measure your drops in Pinkbike Feet, too, don't you?
of course, this is nothing more than a "logical" extension of living out your faith in ever aspect of your life
i'm sure they would defend it that way
why play w/ your salvation?
the way i read this, you have a problem w/ "the free exercise thereof".
is that what you're saying? i fully acknowledge you are allowed to think this; just want to get it on record
what's 10X more than watersports? waterboarding, a-la petite mort?
I have no problem with "the free exercise thereof", but will state that I think that's a simple minded blanket statement thrown around too often by theological types.

In practice no, but in theory they are strikingly similar. Two systems with a very skewed view of their respective religion, desiring control over their country so they can enact various laws to ensure the population adheres to their unique/skewed view of their faith. You know things like a desire to control the media and what people see/hear, criminalizing specific behaviors, restricting/banning/criminalizing other competing religions, prohibiting free speech, etc ..
Im sure they would. However they arent shy about articulating their desire to run for office as some sort of divine mandate to ensure the US is Christian nation. Again, there is no Biblical justification for this desire.
I cant remember any other Christian politicians who are so open about their mandate from God.
Its fun playing with fire ..
Pretty much the way I see it...
you do realize she & jesse live here in town, ja?
Yes. She should be thanking her lucky stars for the Affirmative Action program that got her in too.

Congratulations. You've come full circle since the original post. Did you click on my link and see who David Frum, and then I, were quoting?
Not at all. Why would I actually do research? That's what you're for!Congratulations. You've come full circle since the original post. Did you click on my link and see who David Frum, and then I, were quoting?
Though it does explain why some of the pieces were so familiar... Anyways, wasn't this about Newsweek?
No, that's another thread. This was indirectly about that very New Yorker profile via David Frum.

ftfy.
That NY Times article had some intertesting bits:
It's interesting to see an actual study that linked the two.........
Let's hope that opposition continues to increase.
Agreed.
now we just need Perry to up the ante.
Trying to be the craziest person on the right must be exhausting.
Unfortunately the leaders of the right still have a way to go to meet their constituents:
