Don’t care. We’re getting away from the stuff that matters.

It’s all intertwined.

Don’t worry, Obamacare is inflicting wounds on hundreds of millions of people as we speak. We could be talking about Fantasy Football, American Idol or the weather in Upper Michigan and the ACA will still be hurting people from Austin to Boston and from Seattle to Sarasota. It doesn’t require our observation, it just is.

“Don’t care. We’re getting away from the stuff that matters.”

If the number of posts on articles relating to this matter are indicative of “stuff that matters” to most of us, I’d say that you are probably wrong! FWIW, just when has free speech not been “stuff that matters?”

If you don’t care, don’t post.

[Farnsworth]

Hmmm....it could be a well placed distraction.

To Democrats the ONLY thing that matters is forcibly changing the culture and destroying those that they don't like.

The war on Christians matters. They are trying to destroy Christianity. The propaganda is in everything from education to Hollywood. Our kids are taught that Christ is a myth. Teachers sneer and ridicule Christianity in the classroom. Meanwhile they are taught that Islam is a religion of peace.

I think he could have been more judicious in his choice of words, but God bless that man and his family for standing up for Christ. He did speak for me and my fellow believers.

Enough with the attacks on Christians in this nation. It matters. Free speech matters. Free exercise of religion matters. It matters more than Obamacare or the economy or any other thing that you think important.
It is the basis of our Constitution and strikes at the very heart of the freedoms they are taking away from we the people at an alarming rate.

Making the "Bible' hate speech sure does matter.

It is what your freedoms are based on. Not to mentions we are throwing freedom of religion and free speech out the door so a very small vocal minority group that causes great harm to themselves and others can feel better about themselves.

So someone denies freedom of speech, freedom of religion to someone and you choose not to defend them? So when it happens to you why should you be defended?

I have always believed that on Free Republic freedoms being denied MATTER! If they don't matter here what then is the point?

Least you forget:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.
Martin Niemöller

When it's you time do you want someone to speak for you? Or do you plan to stand alone?

It matters - deeply. Our country is based on Judeo-Christian tenants. In order for the left to obliterate the Constitution, they have to remove those tenants and our freedoms to live by them. People are starting to see that and fighting back.

[Cen-Tejas]

Exactly! All this brouhaha over less than 2% of people in this country who make it their goal every day when they wake up to “sell” the other 98% of us that two men laying in bed repeatedly sticking their penis in the rear end of the other is “normal”.

That we even engage in a passing conversation of this subject or pay it any mind at all much less suffer a NATIONAL ALL CONSUMING DEBATE about it is insanity.

This “insanity” of some sick men has been going on for centuries. That their “community” is still stuck on just 1.7% of the population is a material fact! Why don’t we all see that and give them 1.7% of the national attention instead of 98.3% of the national attention!

I say “to hell with em” and “forget about them”. They deserve no special standing and they are no special class entitled to ANYTHING, special.

Disagree. I'm guessing your education has not included understanding Southern Americans and Christians generally. This was as good a subject as any to take a stand against the immoral, intolerant progressives.

And how do you know what is "the stuff that matters"? Your values system tells you. It teaches you right from wrong.

This is why social conservatism is the underpinning of all conservatism and cannot be separated. So multitask. Conservatives have the brainpower to do that.
