Like I said, I was watching the E! channel, because I didn't want to watch political bullshit, today. I wanted to see Lindsay Lohan have a breakdown, or something. What I got was the otherwise funny host of the "SOUP" show (or whatever it's called) saying, "You don't have to be a right wing nutball to know that...."

It irked me, so this post was my return fire.

All politicians are whores. I just see the fucking hippies getting a pass for all of their horseshit more often than not. Not bullshit, horseshit. There is a difference.

And no, I don't watch E! hardly at all. I was just channel surfing and saw some hollywood chippie in a bathing suit, and paused. Or maybe it was one of Hefner's women. Does it matter?

Nah, that's always worth a pause. At least until she opens her mouth and says something stupid.

I think everything, ultimately, comes down to "because there were boobies."

In the mass media, I agree with you. All other things being equal, the mass media is far more likely to give a pass to a Dem than a Rep, and far less likely to go intentionally dig up dirt or make baseless accusations against a Dem than a Rep. Unintentional mass media bias is huge, IMO.

But if you took a group of average Americans, I suspect that it'd be a pretty even split on who would give which side a pass they didn't deserve. And the ones that get pissed off at both sides and don't give passes either way are few in number.

Hell, it's the dems who want to force us to worship NO god, and start the lawsuits to remove the nativities and 10 commandments, even if peeps want them there. So hey, good example.
No public display of worship, don't care who you worship in private.

Guess that makes you wrong again :)

Define "public display." Is wearing a cross around your neck under your shirt private enough? In some places it hasn't (a few local school cases). No bibles allowed in view of a public place? No nativity scenes in view of the street on your private property? No Santa Clause on your front yard?

But they do care who you worship in private. Ridicule and scorning comments come from the anti-God crowd any time you even have two sticks together in such a manner that could be construed as a cross. They have gone so far as to remove all references to Christmas and call it "winter holiday" with holiday or giving trees. If it has anything to do with Haysus they want it abolished and destroyed as a mark of intolerance. Buddha, Vishnu, and even Allah are okay as they aren't intolerant (despite fringes of some sects who like to murder in the name of their "god"). Only JC.

Republicans just hide it better than Democrats. I've met quite a few democrats who are big-time into God and have no problems with worship, I've also met some pretty scornful republicans regarding worshipping a deity as well.

Me? I don't care what you worship. Just don't tell me I'm a sinner and damned to hell for doing what I do. I don't care that there are crosses on national monuments or "In God We Trust" placed right on the dollar bill (if anything, money is our god we trust in). If there were Hindi symbols all over some places or a smiling Buddha outside a building, I still wouldn't be upset. I certainly wouldn't demand that MY personal feelings NEVER be hurt by having to see something that just MIGHT offend me one day.

It's exactly as logical as how he put it.

Tell me, is it a compulsion you sometimes get that makes you contrary to everything I say, or what? You've taken something not part of the post, which I'm not really arguing about, and saying HA HA WRONG AGAIN. And you still haven't answered the only question I asked in the post.

Whoa! No public displays of worship? Since when?

It's one thing to say that government shouldn't be paying for them, but what you're saying here is not only WAY WAY WAY unconstitutional, but it goes a long way in explaining a lot.

I have this notion that you'd prefer it if Christians would just shut up and die already.

As for "no public display," I meant government-sponsored, not absolutely no public display.

Agreed, but that doesn't change the fact that there are some vocal members of Republican leadership that want to make laws to force that in school every day.

Again, we're talking about what the two parties want to do, not what they've succeeded in actually doing.

I'm thinking that a decade-long world war would relieve people of all the spare time they seem to've.

Especially the part about Republicans dictating peoples' gods. I know extremist Muslims do that a lot, but I never heard it from... well, anyone else.
You need to look into Republican Roy Moore.
