Which "church" would that be...Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, Episcopal, LDS.  I did not know that "the church" was running in any upcoming elections.  Proof would be beneficial to you before making unsubstantiated claims.

It was the paragraph following "quite another for the church to have an active role in governing.." that explains the comment. ..

"It was the Church of England's active role in government that
prompted the framers of our Constitution to take extra precautions
to minimize the church's influence over our governing bodies.." -CH

We don't want an official state church as was the norm during our founders's day... that is .. at least I don't . . .

Good luck with it.  I do hope you have the stomach for it.  The more property you buy, the more conservative you'll become.

As I said... "second" investment property.. So yes I have some experience in the matter.. but I don't see why that should turn me in to a Conservative.. I'm a Realist first.. i.e.. I don't struggle against reality..  but then we know that reality has a strong liberal bias..

Last time I checked this was America, we have no Church of England, and we have no church trying to take an active role in government.  Your paranoia and refusal to answer the question is noted.

Nonsense... See.. there's that reality thing that always trips you guys up.. .

Terry..being a Republican for a lifetime then FOR ONE YEAR listing as a Democrat (the DNC released a press statement to the effect that Terry was NOT a Democrat) then listing as an Independent the next year all the while proclaiming yourself to be a pro-life, anti-gay, anti-Muslim Evangelical Christian does NOT make you a Lib/Dem ..

Try to be realistic..

Yet still, libs voted for him. Bloomberg did the same thing, and when he failed as a Pub, registered as an Independent.
But none of it matters, your need to paint the Right as extreme is a complete failure, when it is your side that's backing a Marxist.

No conservative would ever run as a Dem...

So then you admit your original point to paint the Right as extreme and pushing for a Theocracy was pure bull shit, designed to inflame.
Real bright, and you claim to be a realist?

Exactly!!!! But then, apparently we don't see the same reality as he does.

Did you know that there WERE State Religions at the time? THAT didn't violate the Federal Constitution.

QuoteNine out of the original thirteen colonies had established state religions. The predominant religious groups back then were Puritans, Anglicans, Calvinists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, and Baptists. source

Neither did the fact that in many cases, you had to swear an oath to the CHRISTIAN faith to run for office. Also, the "public" school system was created so as to spread a UNIFYING christian culture as new immigrants began to flood this nation.

Muslim mosques would NEVER have been tolerated among the colonists

Have you noticed that if you ask him what is a right wing extremist he gives vague answers and never mentions any actual polices or positions.

Yeah, I saw that.
This is why I say he's wet behind the ears, if he were as old as he claims to be, he would know the difference in a Pub and a Conservative.

I like Sarah Palin a lot but, unfortunately, I don't think she has any chance of becoming president. The media decided they were going to destroy her and they did with brutal efficiency (she didn't help her cause though, I'll admit that). I'm not one to refrain from speaking my mind about my political opinions but there have been occasions when I wanted to voice my support for Palin but refrained from doing so because I knew I would be intensely ridiculed and my credibility would be undermined for supporting her. While the people I am usually around are young adults (who tend to be more liberal) I have taken just as much heat from young conservatives, including College Republicans, because I like Palin.

I was never embarrassed of her.  I could just fall back on her resume and just challenge someone to find a politician who can beat it.  She pushed the largest infrastructure project in the world, and wrestled control of Alaska back from the corrupt oil guys.  Hussein worked at Baskin Robbins.

Some people have no interests in facts when they have made up their mind that they hate somebody because the media told them to.

I talked to one of those type guys yesterday.  We talked for about 5 min... but there were other cars behind me so I had to take off....
