By rules of the secular religion of Political Corrrectness, you are so right. Unfortunately, people here can observe and think and say whatever they want without the monitoring of Muslims.
You, however, must wait to speak until the Muslim monitors show up and tell you what to think and say.
Confusing Church with state is never productive. Forcing religious thought was why so many fled from Europe. Now it seems we have it here
Religious intolerance knows no historical bounds. It is alive and well here
There's been at least four threads -- one yesterday -- three on Easter Sunday -- all attacking Obama's religious expressions & alleged ties.
I haven't noticed YOU on there labeling all of the anti-Obama religious commentators "bigots?" Why not?
Is it really because you have some inner compulsion to speak out vs. what you deem religious "bigotry?" Or is it that you're an ex-pro-life turned liberal RINO in sheep's clothing who not only supports a socialist pro-abortionist, but can't even show any consistency re: your apparent convictions re: speaking out vs. those commenting negatively re: religion of POTUS candidates.
If you're so knee-jerky about people commenting upon POTUS candidate religious beliefs, you'd be heading into those four Obama threads to defend Obama. But, no. The entire FR self-appointed "bigot patrol" has yet the dawn a single such thread over these past four years...all of those jeremiah wright threads in abundance, etc. All of those comments labeling Obama as "Muslim."
Where is the "bigot patrol" when their fire alarm goes off? Why are they AWOL on those threads? You haven't been there with your "bigot patrol." Why not?
There is still time to go to these recent 4 threads...the last two such threads included the phrase "A" Son of god? (If you can't find them, I've got the links for you...just ask)
If you don't show up to label those POTUS candidates' religious commentators "bigots" as well, I'll write you off as an outright double-faced hypocrite...and encourage you to Repent!!!
Your "convictions" will be shown for they seemingly are: As shallow as a Texas wind blowin' on dry partched dust...all per the latest gust...
You gloss over the fact that Smith died in a gun battle, having totally expended one weapon while he had another.
You don't go around operating as a similar apologist for other prisoners who die in gun battles, do you?
Ping me when the koranimals show up, please.
Who's doin' the "forcing" and what "force" is being used?
Define your words. You have incomplete sentences...there's no subject, no object, no nouns...who are we talking about here?
Generic gobblygook can't pass for true intelligence these days, can it?
And you think only the PR & ad-nauseum people on TV, radio, the Internet, billboards have a right to expose their viewpoints? Anybody speaking religiously gets some automatic kneejerk response from you as "forcing?"
Why does your First Amendment apparently end @ religious expression that includes critiques of other religious expression? How "american" is that?
Religious intolerance knows no historical bounds. It is alive and well here
Well, your post here shows that you're pretty intolerant of whatever Sara Johnson -- and others -- have said on this thread.
If you preach tolerance, where's its practice?
If tolerance is one of your bottom-line golden rules, then you should be bending over backward & avoid calling people "confused," enforcers of religious beliefs, & implied persecutors & oppressors (oft' why many left Europe).
The self-refuters around here ne'er seem to realize the message they preach means they are included in its "boundaries."
Forcing free citizens into Romneycare to please Ted Kennedy and his pals was hell on wheels.
Because I’ve been over here maximizing the case against Obama, in about as strong terms as Jim will allow.
The anti-Obama threads don’t need my attention.
It’s the jokers on these threads, bound to re-elect him that need the attention.
I guess the Romneybots are going to try and guilt everyone into voting for Mittens. “If you don’t vote for Mittens, you are a bigot.” Then the Obamabots say, “if you don’t vote for Obammy, you are a bigot!”
Oh well.
Yes...that guilt approach + "a vote for a third-party is a vote for Obama..."
(as if the GoP-e is beyond culpability for giving us Romney to begin with...It's kind of like a relative coming to you and asking if you approve of the guy she's chosen for marriage...and then when you say "no" right @ that juncture...and the "marriage" never lasts long...guess who they blame for the "marriage" not working out??? Yup...'twas your fault...tho you tried & tried & tried to warn 'em it wasn't goin to go very far)
My arguments have nothing to do with Romney. My arguments have to do with the trashing of good Americans by zealots who force their own religion into a political world.
It is fairly obvious that many want their own religious freedom but in zealous righteousness are more than willing to deny it to other Americans.
Voting for this candidate or another is not the issue. Intolerance is the issue. To hide behind the political when religious zealotry is the cause is in my view cowardice.
Free Republic should be better than that
