Meanwhile, ToFG:
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) told black lawmakers Wednesday that he supports new voting rights protections they've championed, but said he won't bypass a committee chairman to move legislation, according to a Democrat who attended the gathering.
Enacted at the height of the Civil Rights movement, the VRA had required certain states to get federal pre-approval before changing election rules. The law had applied on a blanket basis to nine states most of them in the South. In June 2013, the Supreme Court struck down the decades-old formula dictating which regions are subject to the additional layer of scrutiny.

He actually had a series on a cable channel for a while. He even appeared on Top Gear promoting it. Lately he's been hosting a "Best of Top Gear" thing on BBC America.

Let the ups and downs of your spiritual life come and go. If you are always down, you would become hardened and discouraged. God gives you seasons when you can catch your breath.
Let me tell you about myself. When I suffer I can never see an end to my trials. And when relief comes I am so suspicious that the suffering is not really over that I hesitate to accept my rest. It seems to me that to accept both "good" and "bad" seasons alike is to be truly fruitful. Accept both comfort and correction from the hand of God.
Of course, that is all very easy for me to say to you, but I want you to know that I cringe at the very thought of the cross coming to work in me. I am not telling you that experiencing the cross will be easy. Outwardly it will be difficult, but inwardly it can be worse-a time of agony and dryness. If I seem a bit pessimistic, it is because I am writing to you in the midst of a spiritual dry spell. I don't know what tomorrow brings. God will do what seems good to Him. Sometimes what he wants is hard to accept. Listen to God-there is true freedom, peace and joy in Him

She should be in the debate because election results ought to be considered over polling.
She finished seventh. With Paul dropping out, she is in the top six. If the ABC rules are the top six candidates, she undoubtedly should be on that stage.
How we are at a point where we are letting Gallup and WaPo polls decide who we get to see on the debate state is a mystery to me.

I've heard him talk about how terrible it is at length and that he wants states to run their own schools without federal interference and Common Core will be gone if he's elected.
Maybe this is the downside of his free publicity model: he has entered the Tyson zone. He's saturated the media environment so thoroughly that anyone can say he said anything and it's instantly accepted.

There is a GOPe argument that the VRA and such are good for Republicans, in a partisan political sense, because the mandated minority seats require the creation of safe districts for the Dems -- a redistricting that also creates safe Republican districts.

Have I missed anyone?
Prediction: Next to go will be Fiorina and Kasich. That will leave three fighting for the establishment and three for the insurgency.
Looking at everything dispassionately and with the base minimum of information (Iowa) the insurgency candidates secured more votes than the establishment candidates.
Prediction: Look for an increasingly panicky establishment to do everything it can (obviously and incompetently) do to hobble the insurgents.

All the big boxes like Sam's, Costco, and all the supermarket chains, have chosen one store in the state as the one in which they will sell high beer, wine, and spirits. Of course they have picked the stores near the wealth. Whole Foods has theirs in Boulder, Costco chose the one in the Denver south suburbs where the pro ball players live. King Soopers (Kroger) chose southwest Denver.
And yes, you can walk into the Costco as a non member to buy booze.
Colorado, like many states, has one big city, and the rest are outliers. With the liquor law the way it is, the only places where you can buy booze in a big box store is the Denver metroplex, which includes Boulder.

Going after Hillory is hardly a qualifier as President. Approximately 320 million Americans could qualify, if that's all it took. Nobody likes her. Nobody.
Nobody liked Stalin, either. But he eliminated their enemies, and that's all the Soviets cared about.

It sucks, I liked her a lot. But this race is and should be about the general. And if she didn't have it, she didn't have it. I do think she got her legs cut out by the media, and the shelling she took from Trump wasn't pretty, but it's still on her.

Here are the criteria:
Candidates can qualify for the debate stage if they meet one of three requirements: finishing in the top three by popular vote in the Iowa caucuses, placing in the top six in an average of New Hampshire polls recognized by ABC News, or polling in the top six in an average of national GOP polls deemed valid by the network.
She didn't make the cut -- again. Her problem, not ours.

We can live with a democrat in that seat for two years we cannot live with a speaker Ryan in a position of influence any longer.

I will, but I prefer Cruz. I think J Christian Adams had a very good piece on Rubio's vulnerability and comparing him to Mitt in that Rubio's biggest weakness is the #1 issue of the campaign. While that is not a surprise, I had not put that link and comparison to Mitt together - he couldn't attack Obamacare because of Romneycare. I have long thought that anyone of the GOP side would be electible because of the weakness of the Dem side, but his piece has given me pause on Rubio.
What I am finding surprising is that I figured Rubio would sort of grow on me as a candidate, but it is actually going in the opposite direction - even with my overlooking his Gang of 8 debacle.

Rush's position is that Rubio, like Cruz, is a conservative, and he bases this on conversations he has had with him, just as he has interviewed Cruz. (I doubt seriously if anyone here has conversed at length with Rubio, or any of the other contenders, for that matter.)
In fact, his position was that Cruz and Rubio, again based on conversations he says he has had with both men, are the only two real conservatives in the race.
And oh yes, Rush's callers were immediately on his ass like white on rice over Rubio's Gang of Eight stunt, as well as his having drank the amnesty kool-aid, issues that Rush clearly acknowledged are deal breakers as far as the base is concerned, and that Rubio must answer for.

"This campaign has the same number of delegates as Governors Bush and Kasich while Governor Christie has zero," Fiorina whined. "We're ahead of Dr. Carson in New Hampshire polling. We are 6th in hard dollars raised and have twice the cash on hand as either Governors Christie or Kasich", she shrieked. "We are already on the ballot in 32 states, and there is a ground game with paid staff in 12 states.", she insisted -- crying and stamping her dainty feet.
"Uh huh, whatever you said" her husband muttered, and continued to read the newspaper.

It doesn't matter because these two are playing under two different sets of rules. Rubio's hallelujahs and amens will not see national playing time, and they certainly won't define him. Cruz's will be his entire identity for 6+ hours a day on the major networks.
If this was the hunger games Ted would be bushwacking it and defending himself with a stick. Rubio would be sleeping in a tent made of all the parachutes the GOPe dropped to him.

Candidates can qualify for the debate
stage if they meet one of three requirements: finishing in the top three
by popular vote in the Iowa caucuses, placing in the top six in an
average of New Hampshire polls recognized by ABC News, or polling in the
top six in an average of national GOP polls deemed valid by the
network.
She didn't make the cut -- again. Her problem, not ours.
Our problem, because again why does Gallup/WaPo get veto power over actual election returns? We have Iowa results, and with Paul out that means Fiorina is in the top six finishers in Iowa who are still in the race.
Or is it OK to elevate someone who didn't place as well in an actual election just because a polling organization said so?

I am more and more impressed by Cruz' ability to think on his feet. He came up with Trumpertantrum" didn't he? He's taken on various people who come right at him. And I think if people don't like Rubio and aren't full on supporters of Trump, have some money to spare (I don't at the moment) and are willing to give it to candidates they should send donations to Cruz to try to fight the Rubio onslaught

That's it. They killed that guy in Oregon during a traffic stop and Salon threw a party. They've got their fingers on the throats of the grassroots political opposition via the IRS and a hundred other channels even morons like us don't know about. Once they get another 5 million votes in the door it's over.
Donald Trump is a poor, faint shade of the founding fathers, but he is a real American, and there's nobody coming after him to look the socialists in the eye. If we lose this election we'll all be on our knees.

The Buchanan boys are economically and socially frustrated white men who wish to be economically supported by the federal government without enduring the stigma of welfare dependency. So they construct for themselves a story in which they have been victimized by elites and a political system based on interest-group politics that serves everyone except them. Trump is supported by so-called white nationalists, as Buchanan was before him, but the swastika set is merely an extreme example of the sort of thinking commonly found among those to whom Trump appeals."

I'm not worried about it. The left has their set approach and it never varies. I would rather have a candidate say, "I"m a Christian" if this is their honest conviction than lie to get ahead. Anti theist leftist aren't going to vote for either man anyway. So yes, you don't have to go all "Huckabee" on them but if you're a Christian not standing up for Jesus in some way he's not going to stand up for you.

But it's changed. The culture has changed. The demographics have changed. And this was all done while we on the Right were complacent and buying into the GOPe's line that a half a loaf is better than none, not realizing that they never even intended to give us that much.
That the Democratic Party is evenly split between a felon and a Communist is troubling enough. But consider that, although I have my issues with Romney, at the end of the day he is a good and decent man who lost to Obama. In a sane world Romney should have won. He didn't.

We now know by viewing the post-election actions and statements of Romney and Ryan that, had they gotten in, nothing would have been done about repealing Obamacare, of which Romney was privately fond, and the Amnesty Express would be arriving on track five, with Chief Engineer Paul Ryan at the controls.
At this point I'm with Backwards Boy. I am probably going to vote once this year, in the Democratic primary, for the Communist over the crook, and that's it.

I've got a simpler one for you: no compromises and nothing getting done in DC is a feature, not a bug.
The entire point of our (former) system of government was to make "getting stuff done" a very difficult prospect. Th whole idea was that centralized decision making for the entire country was a really bad idea.
Imagine if the Federal government hadn't passed a single law for the past 50 or 100 years. Would things be better or worse?

And oh yes, Rush's callers were immediately on his ass like white on rice over Rubio's Gang of Eight stunt, as well as his having drank the amnesty kool-aid, issues that Rush clearly acknowledged are deal breakers as far as the base is concerned, and that Rubio must answer for.
Posted by: The Oort Cloud - Source of all SMODs at February 04, 2016 10:27 AM (AYY6Y)
Thanks for posting this. I also listened to Rush yesterday, although only for a short time. I heard what he was saying about Rubio,whom either he had interviewed for his magazine or had simply had a conversation with.
I posted about it yesterday, but it was of no interest because it was buried in the thread about Obama going to a mosque.
A couple of weeks ago, their were folks on here going nuts because Rush was explaining why Trump had decided not to attend the last debate and those folks took it as an endorsement of Trump. That Rush was all in for Trump.
One of the things I detest about liberals is their inability to think logically and with consideration for all sides of a debate. They base everything off of emotion and they refuse to listen to anything that is the slightest bit contrary to their preconceived opinion of how something is. Or who someone is, what they do, what they think.
So a new senator comes into the Senate full of ideas of how it works, and gets a major lesson that the Senate is actually full of career politicians who do nothing but what protects their seat. Rubio wants to get to the point of having some power, so he decides to play the game by the majority's rules, and signs on to the amnesty bill.
And almost destroys his career in the process. I give Rubio props for deciding to leave the Senate. He said per Rush's comments, that he cannot get anything done in the Senate unless he wants to commit to a 30 year career of butt kissing there, to finally win a position of power. And it's not for him. He is planning to go into the private sector to work if he doesn't win the Presidency.
That position is a conservative one. Rubio has a long way to go to win me over, but at least I'll listen instead of running around with my hands over my ears, screaming, he's dead to me he's dead to me, he wants amnesty, he's a progressive, blah blah.

They're not going to revolt against the left because the left has done a very good job of getting them to believe that the right is still their enemy.

Obama showed up visibly stoned and unprepared, then got panicky under pressure. It wasn't so much that Romney won it with a tour de force performance as it was that Obama barely took the field.
By the later debates, Obama's handlers had him prepped, kept him away from the choom, and they had dialed up the moderator collusion factor. ("Candy, get the transcript.")
And, if Romney is an topflight debater, why didn't he right there and then flag the play on the transcript nonsense?

now this is a reliably progressive radio station typically. Yay feminists! Yay illegal aliens!
A woman called in and said her home was robed, she replaced everything, and she was immiediately robbed again. She said she had a plan to feel safe
She bought a Glock. Then she said she made an announcement on the GEBS, the Ghetto Emergency Broadcast System. She stood outside her home, and shouted "Listen up, Whoever has been robbing my home, you come in my house again and I'm gonna tag ya back!!" And fired two shots in the air.

Texas law prohibits liquor (stronger than table wine) sales on Sundays and, I believe, no sales until 10 a.m. on any other day. So a regular store that also sells liquor would have to keep it separate from the rest of the store for those days and times.
I remember one Costco/Sam's clone that sold liquor on 75 in Dallas. They bricked off one corner of the building and had a separate entrance for liquor sales, no membership required. Haven't seen that set-up anywhere else.

I was just talking with my sister, who mentioned a friend of hers was listening to an AM station in California, and they said that 70% of the population in Watts, alone, was illegal.
I wonder if it's true.
But, Watts used to be pretty much African American.
She said they further explained that the blacks are all moving out because of this. To places like Alabama and such.
Again, I wonder how much of this is true.
Years ago I heard 1 in 10 in Cali were illegal, but that was probably a decade ago. What a messed up state.

Six of one, half a dozen of another.
I prefer property tax. At least I can (and do) dispute it every year.
My issue with taxes is what the money is used for. Government's job is roads and borders but, rather than paying for that, I'm paying for everyone else's kids, food, school, medical care, transportation, utility subsidies, arts, crafts, cultural festivals...
If I were paying th government to maintain the roads that lead from my place to th grocery store, I'd be okay with it. I am fed up with paying for everyone else's groceries instead.

In the liberal fantasy version of immigrant multiculturalism, DaMetrius and Shanniqua reach out a welcoming hand to Pedro and Maria.
In actual reality, Pedro and Maria turn out to like other people of their own sort and don't much like other people not of their own sort. Hilarious hijinx ensue.
What has happened has been a slow motion ethnic cleansing of classically black neighborhoods. I've heard that phrase used specifically: ethnic cleansing. Driven by intimidating Hispanic gangs who carry knives and guns and who aren't afraid of black gang colors being displayed.
You know that old phrase "sundown towns", places in which the local whites had indicated that blacks are not welcome after dark? Lots of old-time black neighborhoods in SoCal that went mixed are now becoming sundown towns, but it ain't Whitey laying it down this time.

On SiriusXM POTUS's Michael Smerconish Show Thursday, Dr. Art Caplan of the NYU Langone Medical Center urged the Brazilian government and International Olympic Committee to delay the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, warning that tourists will not attend the events due to Latin America's Zika virus pandemic.
"Are you really going to try to run the Olympics this August in the middle of a public health emergency when the country can't afford to finish the buildings, and has got to take on the mosquitos?" Caplan asks, adding the question of what family will say, "Let's round up the kids and go watch discus in the Zika epidemic?"
Such a proposition would be like a family saying, "Let's visit Chernobyl to enjoy the Olympics!" he adds.

You're right. I almost completely agree with you're point.
Ancillary point: the founders agreed that the government was responsible for a very few, very specific common things. As I noted: national defense, borders, roads.
If I had a choice, I'd prefer to pay property taxes over income, assuming that I was paying for something that I am using. Roads are a perfect example. I can build my own road from my house to the grocery store but the LOCAL government is better positioned to do so and the road should be better if my neighbors and I all kick it to build and maintain it.
My issue is that the money isn't going toward roads. How many taxes have we had over the past 25 years or so to pay for roads? How many roads are now being built by 3rd parties, then I have to pay tolls to them (and the government) to use it?
Start with th simple stuff: if you tax me, it need to go toward building a road and maintaining borders. When every road, bridge and border in the country is perfect and we have zero threat from any foreign country, group, or person THEN you can ASK me if you can use or add additional taxes for other stuff.

Anti-amnesty blogger Mickey Kaus highlighted Sen. Marco Rubio's penchant for dodging questions by retreating to his memorized stump speech and labeled the donor-class candidate the Republican John Edwards.
"Rubio's the GOP John Edwards," Kaus tweeted. "Both Rubio and Edwards have the gift of gab, which only takes you so far."
In an email to Breitbart News, Kaus elaborated on the comparison: "I remember seeing John Edwards talk in New Hampshire in '04. Great stump speech, but even with questions he didn't add much more.

This may not be a terrible comparison. I'll have to read the article. I have been having similar thoughts on Rubio. Even as someone who can get over the Gang of 8 debacle, I am finding it hard to get on board with Rubio. There is something missing. I've argued that he needs more seasoning. There is a kernal of conservatism there to cultivate, but he needs time to cultivate it.

The Buchanan boys are economically and socially frustrated white men who wish to be economically supported by the federal government without enduring the stigma of welfare dependency. So they construct for themselves a story in which they have been victimized by elites and a political system based on interest-group politics that serves everyone except them. Trump is supported by so-called white nationalists, as Buchanan was before him, but the swastika set is merely an extreme example of the sort of thinking commonly found among those to whom Trump appeals."

Roof had some "friend" that was black, but decided he had to counter Obama and his using Trayvon to inspire BLM type crap. Of course Roof just helped Rev. Wright's black liberation theology cause, not to mention the slaughter of good people.

Some of Trump's biggest applause lines at rallies come when he loudly denounces downsizing/outsourcing/offshoring of American jobs. Almost as though ordinary people are worried about their futures or something.
Given that downsizing/outsourcing/offshoring was Carly's corporate schtick, she isn't going to be a great fit if Trump takes the nomination.

Simply put the new policy makes mandatory the release without a [Notice to Appear] of any person arrested by the Border Patrol for being in the country illegally, as long as they dont have a previous felony arrest and conviction and as long as they claim to been continuously in the United States since January of 2014, National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd explained.
According to Judd, illegal immigrants Border Patrol encounters must only claim they have been in the U.S. since January 2014 for agents to release them.
The operative word in this policy is claim, he said. The policy does not require the person to prove theyve been here, which is the same burden placed on them during deportation instead it simply requires them to claim to have been here since January of 2014.
Not only do we release these individuals that by law are subject to removal proceedings we do it without any means of tracking their whereabouts, he added.

I ask this because of the number of people, including men and women of good will on the conservative side of the camp, who are voicing concern over the religious views of candidates, one in particular. I have no doubts that these people are sincere in their concern (the ones on our side; the lefties, not so much).
Since this country was formed, every President we elected made claim to Christian faith. Up until Kennedy, that faith was some flavor of Protestantism. For some of those Presidents, that faith was deeply held - for instance, Washington; for others, it was more nominal and less devoted, and I mean no judgment in that statement. Reagan was outspoken about his faith, and so was Carter; neither one managed to turn this nation into a theocracy.
When Kennedy was in the race, some people were concerned about his Catholicism, that he would be under the sway not purely of the Constitution, but of a foreign Romish Pope. Oddly enough, Kennedy apparently was more under the control of his pecker than of his Pope, but I'll just leave that on the fairway.
The first serious panic over religion that I can recall at the moment was about Palin - she seemed to practice a somewhat more exuberant flavor of Protestantism than more. Now I'm hearing it about Cruz.
Seriously, is there anyone who honestly thinks that Cruz, or someone like him, is going to want to impose a theocracy, much less be able to do so? Is there anyone who believes that a President Cruz will result in us stoning homosexuals to death, or outlawing demon run? Does anyone think that Huckabee or Santorum would have gone that route, or Patrick Buchanan?
At the risk of being offensive, it seems to me that the only President I can recall whose Administration has made any impact on religious practices is the one we've got now, and I'd hardly label him as a hardcore Evangelical, or anything other than an in-name-only Christian (yes, I have a stronger personal opinion of his religious leanings, and I'm trying to be uncharacteristically polite here; just go with it, ab arguendo).
Someone tell me - what's the basis for all this concern over religion I'm hearing? Real issue, smokescreen, or what?

I sourly suspect that if you had lined up a bunch of average Joes and Janes back in 2008, and given them a description of the central theology at Palin's church, and then a description of the central theology at Obama's church, without identifying either as such, and then asked what they thought, you'd get some _illuminating_ responses.
Like, "Holy shit, what are they high on over at that second place? Jimson weed?"
The crazy train at Obama's church was so long and heavy it needed ten locomotives to pull it. It wasn't just Jeremiah ("God Damn America") Wright. It was the work of Dr. James Cone, who the church acknowledged as their key spiritual leader and founder. Cone was, without mincing words, barking mad. And _virulently_ anti-white racist.
Of course, the ordinary Joe and Janes of American never heard a word about any of this, because the media ran away from examinations of Obama in Chicago as fast as they could, and the gentleman losers of the GOP refused to go full Lee Atwater about it.

Like the pope?" ghost of kari
yeah, the whole global warming thing and move in the church toward progressive globalism is huge in the Catholic Church. But it was not always the pope, but factions within going "commie". South of the US it is mostly Catholic, but in the US part of the "act of love" thing is other "Christian" based, like all the children of the world must be bused around as Obama does for illegals.
The way to help other countries is in their country. That can be Christian or our government, though the Bush Doctrine of spreading democracy is seen as evil colonialism, and the failure to win wars also dampens those intentions.

My only concern over Cruz's mention of the Body of Christ is how the MFM will distort it, as they've distorted pretty much all things Christians for decades.
Seriously, is there anyone who honestly thinks that Cruz, or someone like him, is going to want to impose a theocracy, much less be able to do so? Is there anyone who believes that a President Cruz will result in us stoning homosexuals to death, or outlawing demon run? Does anyone think that Huckabee or Santorum would have gone that route, or Patrick Buchanan?
Certainly not. That's nothing but MFM propaganda. What's curious is that there really are religious zealots out there who want to impose a theology on us: islam. On that subject, we hear crickets.
The MFM have a stock list of mischaracterizations of Christians. They want everyone to think that all Christians are like the Westboro Gang, who are all sister-humping, toothless snake handlers who hate everybody who doesn't belong to their cult. They're lighting quick to point out any sort of Christian beliefs of any criminal, even if they have to make them up. It doesn't help either when they prop up false Christians like Jackson, Sharpton and Pfleger. None of their ilk are Christian, IMHO, since I can't recall ever hearing the words "forgiveness" or "patience" or "love your fellow man" from any of them. They are the wolves we were warned about a couple of millennia ago.
This has been happening for as long as I can remember. I shouldn't get upset about it, as I was told this was part of being a Christian, but the MFM's lying is reprehensible.

I don't get the 'chosen one' vibe from anything either Cruz or Rubio has said. It could be their faith is real and they talk about itpublicly in orderto connect with voters who share that faith. Both men seem sincere enough and it connects with me, for example, and I don't think God would mind.
Besides, one of the majordistinctions between conservatives and progressives is faith: onehas it (or at least respects it) while the other celebrates the lack. Let voters have a clear choice. Choosing between Pepsi and Pepsi light is no choice at all.

Actually, there was Jefferson, who was a Diest, and the religious types mourned when he was elected. That being said, it was the Baptists of Danbury, CT (and apparently being a Baptist was kind of radical back then) who wrote him a letter expressing their concerns about their religious freedom, and replied using the now-famous phrase "Separation of Church and State".
Washington had a vast amount of writings, never mentioned God even once, and is said to have gotten irked at people wanting to take Sunday off. The super religious types have invented his religiousity, and base it entirely on a story of him ONCE being spotted praying off in the woods by himself. That story was debunked - a family story of a family that lived at the spot later, but had lived there when Washington was. A close friend seemed to imply that from his own observation he would assume he was also a Deist. A number of most influential Founders were (including Franklin).

Exactly. Much of Trump's language seems geared toward winning NY with his Queens NY values. That is why he says he can work with Reid or Pelosi, he is courting the Reagan Democrats, or the Rockefeller Dem's, whatever they are. Trump could indeed win over a lot of union support, which might mean 25% of black support.
Giuliani thinks Trump is much better for this reason, and doesn't think Cruz could win, listing off the several states Cruz just tosses away by working so hard at being hardline conservative.
But Trump still needs more policy, less tirade.

It's really disheartening to try to talk to people like that in person, because it's painfully obvious they have no idea how a representative government works. You begin by saying a president cannot outlaw abortion on his own and, even if he did, all that means is it would simply be a matter for states to decide. If they don't call you a liar outright, then they yell something about Southern assholes who'd outlaw abortion in their states and force those po' po' pregnant wimmenz to travel over state lines, pursued by baying hounds.

"And how long have we been there now?"
When I was there, the joke was, We haven't been here ten years - we've been here one year, ten times.
I think that was about right. And I used to rage inwardly against these useless Afghans I was working with - why do I care more than you? - but I could see it from their perspective if I tried. Ah, yes, another crop of can-do US Army guys who are going to fix everything their predecessors effed up.
I knew a couple of Afghans who worked their asses off to make the most of the chance we gave them. Some of their countrymen would ask them why they bothered. The colonel I admired most basically said, I know there's no point but I couldn't live with myself if I didn't. A mensch, that one.

Other studies show they were almost all still strong members of their Christian churches, even if their personal belief was something like "deist". And really that is true for Christianity today ... as many are profess their belief, and recite that third century Nicene Creed, but most have doubts.
I want the Christian values for president, while their exact doctrine may well "evolve" a little from all life beginning just 6000 years ago, or various precepts.
They wanted separation at the federal level, since Baptists probably didn't want some of the other protestant elements thrust upon them. But states had church involvement in the laws, iirc.

Nothing wrong with it. But that's my point. There are Christians who would ban alcohol, porn, etc if they got power. So it's not crazy for people to fear that if Cruz, Palin, Huckster gained power they'd also try to ban those things.
Would Prezzie Ted waive a magic wand and ban porn? No of course not. But when he aligns himself with people that would, it's not an irrational fear to think President Cruz would support banning porn (or alcohol or strip clubs, or whatever).

Last year the politicians in Minnesota argued whether to repeal the law that bans Sunday sale of liquor. The argument was not about religion anymore it was about money. The big chain liquor stores like not having to pay people to work Sundays. The other blue law here is no car sales on Sunday. Money is also the reason that one will not be overturned also.

Another non sequiter. I'm not telling you what Christians are about. I'm pointing out that the perception of Christians wanting to ban things is real for a reason. There are dry counties, are there not? And these counties are in ultra religious parts of the country. So it's very reasonable for someone to put 2 and 2 together and think "hmmm this guy is supported by people who want to ban alcohol, therefore if he wins, he will push to ban alcohol."

I forgot if you are an Arkansas person but we have a lot of weird rules like that.
My little neighborhood was dry until about a year or two ago...apparently people feared adding a liquor store would bring in a bad crowd? This in the middle of a non-dry city in a non-dry county. Finally overturned because they want to bring in fru fru restaurants and be artsy and they think that won't happen if alcohol is banned.

Here's what I saw: State Alcohol Beverage Control agents, cops basically, would park in our parking lot across the street from the state-run liquor store and watch it through binoculars. When they saw a car go into the dry county which was just a few feet away, they'd track down the car, arrest the driver, confiscate the booze and take it right back to the state-run liquor store.
Also, every joke you've ever heard about the sheriff's or preacher's brother-in-law being the county bootlegger is true. Which is why every time there was a wet/dry referendum in the dry counties, sheriff's and preachers would come out against it.
And also, the dry counties receive liquor tax monies.
It's a business. Religion has nothing to do with it anymore.

I don't think they do it "all the time." But even if they do, it's because it's part of who they are and how they got to where they are.
Christians should be willing to talk about their faith, and most are. Nobody complains when a politician goes on and on about other stuff, like being descendants of immigrants or some shit like that.
Just like talking about how someone grew up poor, or had a lousy home life, or had to take 9th grade 3 times, or whatever.
There's also nothing wrong with trying to persuade people that there's a better alternative to what's going on today. Presidents always do some kind of persuading, or attempt to. A Christian President should be able to do the same.
But to think Cruz, myself, or someone similar would just start issuing executive orders banning shit, well that's just, for lack of a better word, pretty far out there. Extreme.

Feminists in Sweden have launched a new campaign against men that wants to protect women from being raped
http://tinyurl.com/jrrbrmg
So, no doubt you have all heard about taHarrush by now, the Islamo-Arabic rape game. You might also have heard about the backlash against the people engaging in this behavior in Stockholm, where 200 men put their viking-genes to use by physically attacking these 'refugees'.
What you probably have NOT heard about however, (or find hard to believe) is the feminist outcry (surprise surprise!) against these noble berserkers. Indeed, the rage was so great, they created the hashtag #inteerkvinna (translated as #notyourwoman) where they spewed their hatred over racism, fascism, white men and many other things that can be loosely tied to the events with some cognitive dissonance. In short, they made a collective tantrum on social media over the fact that white European men are standing up to the rape-fugees.

Fry it up with some sesame oil and ginger
The product is called c-fu, which combines the Chinese word for curd - to-fu in Chinese means bean curd, with the letter C because the original c-fu was made with cricket proteins. However, in the spirit of improvement, the team later found that mealworm-fu is tastier than cricket-fu.

Should also be pointed out that Akin's victory in the Missouri GOP primary was the direct result of Democrat machinations: Dem crossover voters voted for Akin, ensuring McCaskill would face the weakest Republican candidate.

Former President Jimmy Carter said Wednesday that if he had to choose, he'd pick Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump over rival Ted Cruz, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
At a lecture in Britain's House of Lords on Wednesday, Carter was asked to give his "assessment" of American politics.
After talking about his own victory in the 1976 Democratic presidential caucuses, he went on to say that Trump would be a better option than Cruz.
If he had to choose between them, "I think I would choose Trump, which may surprise some of you," he said.
"The reason is, Trump has proven already he's completely malleable," Carter said. "I don't think he has any fixed (positions) he'd go the White House and fight for. On the other hand, Ted Cruz is not malleable. He has far right-wing policies he'd pursue if he became president."

Yeah, that's a huge priority for the holy Joes right now. You can't turn on the TV without seeing those massive protest marches against strip clubs and booze. Oh, wait, I missed those somehow.
What I see when I turn on the news are Christians being harassed and threatened because they don't want to serve pizza at a hypothetical gay wedding or be forced to pay for their employee's BC (and that's something the employees knew about before they took the job.) And the people doing the persecuting and hounding are the people who think just like Moo does about Christianity. Like Obama for instance.

An academic conference held at the University of Cambridge said that pedophilia interest is 'natural and normal for males', and that 'at least a sizable minority of normal males would like to have sex with children, and normal males are aroused by children.'

Post Sandy Hook Maryland adopted a ban which just got overturned by the Fourth Circuit applying strict scrutiny. Similar laws adopted by NY and CT were upheld by the 2nd Circuit adopting a lesser standard of review.
This in the context of Hillary calling for a ban although it failed in Congress post Sandy Hook, and Hillary saying that she would have lots of litmus tests for SCOTUS appointees if she gets to be POTUS.

I was sitting at an event one day with a woman who was native american. Somehow, the subject of a pedophile who had been arrested and was in the national news came up and my NA co attendee was asked by another attendee what the traditional NA attitude was toward child molesters/rapists and she cheerfully said, castration.
Historically, any male NA who had raped or molested children was promptly castrated. Without anesthetic.
Child sex has been prohibited by most cultures that love and protect their offspring for thousands of years.
I can think of one exception.

Really doesn't make sense to me, because the elite are wealthy enough to simply fly the up-knockee to a resort in any handy country where abortion is legal, and have the deed done there.

I suspect Carter thinks he's smarter than you, and that you are fool enough to fall for his nonsense. His bet is that if you hear him say "I prefer Trump," you'll turn to Cruz because you hate teh Jimmah.
I suspect there are many many many on the left who genuinely fear a Trump nomination, and probably few if any who fear Cruz.

An academic conference held at the University of Cambridge said that
pedophilia interest is 'natural and normal for males', and that 'at
least a sizable minority of normal males would like to have sex with
children, and normal males are aroused by children.'
http://tinyurl.com/nuyl42d
One of the attendees, and enthusiastic participant, was Tom
O'Carroll, a multiple child sex offender and long time campaigner for
the legalization of sex with children and former head of the Paedophile
Information Exchange. 'Wonderful!' he wrote on his blog afterwards. 'It
was a rare few days when I could feel relatively popular!'

And why weren't these sickos rounded up and their computers all searched for kiddie porn? Surely participation in such an event would serve as probable cause.
This does remind me of one more good thing Christianity did... it introduced into the ancient world the idea that children should be cherished and nurtured instead of exploited. In the late Roman empire, there were houses of prostitution that picked up infants left to die in the elements and pressed them into prostitution. That was a legally allowed until the rise of Christianity.

True story: back in the day I was dating one girl, and she did not know that I had "known" another girl who she was supposed to be close to. One day she was telling me what a slut her friend was, because her friend would go to her gyno appointments in her schoolgirl uniform (yes, Catholic) to pick up her prescription for her birth control pills.
Now, at the time I need not tell you all that I was pretty stupid, so the manner in which this fact came back to bite me on the rear end was fairly well contained within that mental image.
If that poor girl thought it was supposed to make me less interested in her friends, well.....
