I've been paying only some attention to this topic...but, your comment, Peach, caught my eye.
Pretty strong stuff. What have I missed? Thanks for 'splaining.
We have gone from being a political web site to being taken over by people pretending to be Christians.
On various thread the First Lady has been called White Trash, a whore, and more. Her Christianity has been questioned because of ONE joke.
If the President and First Lady aren't Christian enough for us, then I give up.
There is a certain faction on FR that CONSTANTLY pretends they are Christian and the rest of us aren't Christian enough or conservative enough.
#1. Anyone can pretend to be anything on the internet.
#2. I live in the Bible Belt where you can't walk 20 steps without bumping into a Baptist Church. Nearly all my friends and neighbors are Baptist. NOT ONE of them has a problem with the jokes.
#3. I think MOST of the people pretending to be outraged at the First Lady's jokes are NOT what they say they are.
#4. I think they are paid opinion shapers who come here to stir dissent.
#5. Read the book for which Jim Robinson wrote the foreward -- Hillary's Secret War. It details exactly how the opinion shapers on the left come to web sites ilke FR and have been tracked as coming from the DNC and the Washington Post, etc., to come here and try to shape opinion. All under the guise of Christianity and conservatism, of course.
#6. Think about how many people you have met in real life who would be upset about a joke about some city slicker coming into farm country trying to milk a male horse and not being able to tell the difference between a cow and a horse. It's a joke older than I am.
