Conservative thread: We're still smiling!

[SwedishMeatball]

Here's another thing-I stay away from the liberal thread. I do so because I really believe that the different sides need a place where they can go and be themselves. I don't read there, I don't post there-and even if I did I would never drag anything said there out onto the main board. I thought that was the idea of having the two threads.

That sums up exactly how I feel.

 

[Soarin08]

tell 'em that even your atheist friend understands this country was founded upon, and until somewhat recently, has been led according to christian tenets.

(they'll know who it is, 'cause i was having the same "discussion" on the atheist thread.)

They'd say that it would be impossible for an atheist to believe that, or some such nonsense. You know how they generalize everything so much.

oh, honey, you know tolerance is a one way street.

Congrats on your 3000th post!!!

I tried posting there a couple times (just a nice holiday greeting) and !!! Never again!! I got chewed up and spit back out....

congratulations on your brilliant verbosity!!!!

That's because you understand history!

Hi Guys
Its so hard to keep up
You all talk so much at night and Im usually in bed and asleep by 8pm
Im getting really excited, my vacation is in 19 days
YEAH
Not much else is going on
Just plugging along

A little off-topic...

I'm getting books to read on the plane (long flight). Has anyone read any of Joel Rosenberg's books? ("The Last Jihad," etc.) He's an evangelical Christian with a Jewish background. I saw him on Precepts for Life.

Anyone read Francine Rivers? ("The Mark of the Lion" trilogy). I couldn't put those down.

Also, does anyone watch/read Kay Arthur Precepts for Life? I like that kind of Bible Study. Makes me want to really dig in and learn.



Oh...and I'm really leaning towards those AP's...wow, that will make things really flexible on our trip.

Have they done that yet again??

... I need to get caught up over here.

That's because you understand history!

I've begun to notice that they like to re-write history. The fact is; this country was founded on religion. In today's society, religion isn't such a big factor like it was back then. But just because you personally don't believe in religion, you can't go and change a fact.

But, yeah, I’ve noticed a huge intolerance from those screaming for tolerance the loudest. Let’s see… we had the courthouse holiday displays in that one city. They didn’t want the nativity scene, despite that all religions and beliefs were allowed to put up a display and not just the Christians, and some of the atheist went out of their way with their display in attempts to overshadow the nativity scene. Only the Christians were targeted in that. I can’t recall the details; but I think there was a thread on it.

There’s always a thread on something around here.

Oh, and the eharmony lawsuit? Just how many homosexual dating sites are out there? – but that’s not good enough? They just had to target one that is more geared towards Christians. So, should the Christians sue the homosexual sites for discrimination? Should the Jews? Should all of the heterosexuals? Different websites cater to different types of people, there’s something for everyone!, and the fact that eharmony was sued showed intolerance on the part of the ones that sued them!

Haven't read any of those, but I'm reading the biography of John Adams right now and LOVING it. It's a decent sized book, should last the whole flight.

AP's are a wonderful thing. I would think that with bookings down, they will be offering discounts on rooms for AP holders this year.

Which biography on John Adams? I've got one that I haven't read yet...

My TA was able to get a great room deal for the entire 15 nights, which I guess wasn't easy to do, as long as I have an AP.

David McCullough's. It's the one that the HBO series was based on, although it won't surprise anyone here, but Adam's religious beliefs were played down quite a bit on TV. The book clearly shows that he was very committed to his faith and believed the country needed that moral foundation.

i found that whole thing a total abomination. putting up a display for winter solstice is fine; heck it was winter. but the display made disparaging remarks about a different belief and other display. i considered it to be discriminatory against christians and the penultimate, obnoxious display of intolerance.

that wasn't so much about christianity (they provide the opportunity to choose christian, jewish, atheist, agnostic, spiritual but not christian.....)as it was about being a site that would have to set up an entirely different category, at its own expense, to accommodate a protected group. but you're right about the lawsuit, 'cause how many HETEROsexuals are going to register at a homosexual site and complain that they don't fit and so never get a match? as for why christians and/or others don't sue the homosexual sites? it is because we haven't any reason to force society to accept us into a club where we don't fit. only somebody needing to make a statement would do such a thing. also, heterosexuals are not a protected class...in other words, you won't see a law about hate crimes or discrimination towards single white HETEROsexual women.

I remember the thread on the nativity thing.... it got pretty ugly.

Wonder, your last point there- I agree. I mean, what heterosexual is going to register at a HOMOsexual dating site?? That's silly....

seriously...you go to those sites 'cause it's so difficult to find a match on your own. so you're gonna pick a site where you're 100% guaranteed you won't find a match? COME ON!!!!!!!! fidiots.

Well, if you wanted to be a victim, and play the "poor, poor me, I'm being discriminated against" card you would.
