    Want To Know What A Liberal Sounds Like?

    Amen to this point! I live in Kentucky (very, very conservative state) and its amazing to see how many where I live STILL to this day believe and support Bush spending three trillion for pre-emptively attacking/invading/occupying Iraq that had (1) no WMD's, (2) no ties to Al Qaeda, and posed no...

    A question?

    I'm not sure about the "logical" progression you speak of, but wasn't incest and polygamy in the Old Testament? Abraham marries sister Sarah (incest) and I believe Abraham, Jacob, David, and Solomon all practiced polygamy. Weren't these some of God's "chosen" people?

    Will Sean Hannity go through with his commitment to be waterboarded for charity?

    Quite a bit of evidence that most consider it torture. (here) Waterboarding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Waterboarding is not authorized under the Geneva Convention either. Between the Geneva convention and the facts in the Wiki link, and our past history of calling it both torture and...

    Have Any Of You Changed Your Stance On ...

    ^_^ I'll have to remember this line.

    Socialism...

    From a wordly point of view are U.S. Democrats even close to socialists? I would imagine Europe would consider them Centrist. In fact, I imagine European's think we are nuts screaming "socialist, socialist!!" And since the subject of socialism is the discussion. How much socialism is too much...

    Have Any Of You Changed Your Stance On ...

    Well if you are being literal then Christians aren't allowed to eat shell fish either. (Leviticus 11:12)..."Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you." So my answer is I don't take it literal. I'm not sure its a "change of stance" for me though...

    Church Goers More Likely To Support Torture. Good.

    I believe it is torture and it is in violation of the Geneva Convention. The Bush gang were using technicalities to legalize waterboarding. They said since Iraqis do not represent an official army and don't have a country making them a wardrobe (uniforms) then that makes it okay to deny them...

    Obama's Burger Toppings and the New Hilarity

    To be somewhat far, the Daily Show did show a clip of MSNBC doing a play by play on the burger experience. It was a solid five minutes plus by their timer. They were describing the burger, commenting on the choice of mustard, etc.

    Redefining The Open Mind

    Yes but my first post did not say the Bible belt nor evangelical, it said "The South" and I used the word "Protestant." 1. I injected the Bible Belt link to show that Protestants DOMINATED the Bible Belt. 2. The Bible belt in turn DOMINATES the geographic South which would in turn easily...

    Redefining The Open Mind

    I in NO WAY presented the South as a monolith, I said dominant which is true no matter how you spin it. I saw the list on Wiki. It's a list of cities and a couple of counties amongst 17 states. How do you figure your list of cities outweight 17 states and disqualfies mine AND WIKI's use of...

    Will Sean Hannity go through with his commitment to be waterboarded for charity?

    Well according to Karate's posts, I'm thinking he is favor of letting Sean Hannity be water boarded.

    Redefining The Open Mind

    Holy cow...I didn't realize anytime someone mentions "The South" they had to add a special asterisk specifically for I-10. Last I checked the word "Dominate" does not mean ALL!. Here is a nice link for you to see the Bible belt which makes up most of "The South" I and most people refer to when...

    Limbaugh to Powell: 'Become a Democrat'

    I'm sorry but I wasn't giving God credit for sins. Rush's "gifts"....foolishness, vanity, and ego are not from God. I'm saying Rush is giving a raw deal to God by saying He gives him his quick wit that he uses to demean and slander everyone under the sun. I am also pretty sure God did not give...

    Limbaugh to Powell: 'Become a Democrat'

    Wow...Rush doesn't discriminate!!! He even likes to throw insults at God. ^_^

    Will Sean Hannity go through with his commitment to be waterboarded for charity?

    By the way I watched the CNN waterboarding video...that guy said plain as day that waterboarding simulates an execution and is illegal in Geneva Convention.
