Instead of a "law against texting while driving" WHY NOT concentrated education showing WHY you shouldn't i.e. you can't stop your car at 50mph if you are looking at your phone!
Practical illustrations of "do unto others" would cut down the growing mentality of the need for a "cop on every corner"!

When I was in school there was a concentrated effort to teach us that killing, stealing and lying were wrong. I guess we don't need laws against those actions, then. If education alone worked, we'd have a perfect society. We need the laws, because some people don't get the message without a kick in the pants.
 
And that perfectly explains the current entitlement mentality of the left. A bunch of bible-thumpers at heart.

It is weird how lefties talk the same way about Obama as righties do about Jesus.

Perfect, all powerful, all knowing, incapable of lying, impeccable morals, can't be bought by money, has no ego, etc.
They get really, really angry when you bring up the obvious. :eek: Now you've done it.

Not much has changed since he was outed as the left's messiah back in 2008.

I hate to say it but I think his race helps him a lot with white-guilt liberals.

Imagine if they elected Howard Dean and he insulted mentally handicapped kids or didn't put his hand over his heart during the anthem or his wife said she'd never been proud of america until her husband got elected? They would've ripped him, well as much as a partisan can rip someone in their party. But the white guilt prevails, and they feel because of that they cannot criticize The Obama.
 
We were established as a nation of laws. Christ was our guide but the bible is not part of our consitution. I believe in Christ and think that as a voter I seek like minded people but we have gotten along quitre well with people of all beliefs as long as we stilck to the constituion.
 
I wouldn't join any political party. Personally, I think only the whiners identify with a party... they seem to have a need to be 'part' of something instead of thinking for themselves. This is, I appreciate, an overly harsh view of both parties but... based on some of the fucking morons on USMB that identify as Republican or Democrat, I couldn't join either.

Although the two main parties in power today - Repubs and Dems - totally suck, I don't think you should dismiss the entire concept of a political party.

With a country this size, it would be nearly impossible to orchestrate a coordinated effort or a movement without somehow first summarizing your goals and values into some sort of understandable manifesto.

Don't blame the concept of a political party, blame the fact that we only have 2 parties to choose from.

I don't have issue with two parties. I do have issue with little difference between the two (more comparison than contrast between GWB and BHO, just for example).

In effect, we are a one-party state. And we know they are doomed and doomed quickly.

And the other has followed. The Tea Party slowed them down a bit, but here we are again.......

Worrying about dogs, cookies, etc.

Yes, but at least the Dems are being honest about their intent to expand the government. The Republican 'gameplan' always came of as quite hypocritical and misleading to me:

1.) Profess yourself as the party of small government and freedom

(Get elected) and then..

2.) Spend, spend, spend (Iraq War), expand executive powers (Patriot Act, NDAA 2012), Restrict personal liberties (put into law rigid social rules)

What a farce....
 
The Constitution Party, a third party that calls for restoring government "on the Gospel of Jesus Christ."


Seems like two separate issues, 1) restoring gov't to the constitutional intent and values, and 2) basing gov't on christanity, which circumvents the 1st amendment. Wouldn't hurt to try to stick to the 1st issue a little more closely, but not the 2nd. I don't care if people put up crosses in cemetaries, or manger scenes at Christmas time, or use the word God in any way they want to. But we can't be requiring everyone to follow the dictates of any particular religion.

Correct...Great Britain as alot of EU countries of the period had an official church that dominated...and determined the Social-Cast systems...and why so many fled here to escape it to worship as they chose.

The Constitution ensured that Government could not make any law on the practice of religion of any citizen...nor would the Government conduct itself on behalf of any religion...and at the same time speech by any citizen in government or private citizen could freely speak as they chose.

Key here is to protect and defend the Constitution regardless of such speech BY elected officials.

To go with a party whose stated purpose is to Govern BY religious principles (as stated BY the OP) is WRONG...

But do they really state what the OP said?

In a way? They did...but in reference getting back to the ideals of the Founders.

I think the OP is being a bit disingenuous...and do NOTE SHE failed to offer up thier platform.

SO...I LINK IT for all to read...make up your own mind...

Constitution Party Platform

Interesting. I disagree with their interpretation of the Constitution. For instance, they state they oppose a constitutional convention while ignoring the fact that this process is in the Constitution. I also think that while the platform touts itself as being based upon the gospels of Jesus, it about as far removed from the teachings of Jesus as you can get. If he were alive today, Jesus would have been one of those damned liberal socialists.

No, I don't want to live in a theocracy. I prefer things the way they are, where people can believe or not believe in whatever religion they choose. I don't know what they are "restoring", since our government was never based on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Also, since there are so many different Christian denominations and beliefs, which are the beliefs they want? Would the Baptist's beliefs become official, and all others heretical?
 
Id have to have more information on what they meant when they said this. From what Ive studied on the Constitutionalist party, Ive never been impressed with their Constitutionalist principles and they are vague what they mean about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I dont claim to be an expert though.

There were 10 commandments that seemed to work pretty good and one was thou shalt not kill!

The point is though because more and more of people like you DON"T think in terms of do unto others we have stupid rules and regulations like "don't text and drive"!

You are probably like the dumb radio commentator who said "well if they pass a law against text while driving I'll obey it!"

GEEZ... the law of physics should be considered and your teachings about not killing, stealing DIDN"T give the practical reasons for it.
For example did your teacher telling you you shouldn't kill because if you do you will die make an impression on you? Of course not because we've taken the 10 commandments and NUANCED them to death!

Very simple. If you don't steal you probably wouldn't try to kill someone who is trying to prevent you! SEE it is that simple!

BUT you and others have so nuanced the basic laws that you are getting now so tied up that right NOW I guarantee that somewhere in the USA right now you are breaking a law!

Stupid laws like

"Once upon a time, it was illegal to buy peanut brittle on Sunday in Virginia.

And in Alexandria, it remains illegal to own more than four cats or three dogs — or six pets total."

Stupid blue laws!
AND YOU want MOrE LAWS???
 
Whats wrong with Jesus?

Why do I get the feeling that the OP would have been one of the ones who screamed to free the murderer and crucify the Christ...
 
Boop got personally offended when she read an article that had Americans who would dare speak ill of The Obama, so this thread is her counter attack. The purpose of the thread is to make anyone who isn't an Obamabot appear to be a loon.

She did? Why am I always the last to know?

Which thread is that, by the way. I'd really like some background, so I can take proper offense.


Your existence HERE is offensive.

how's the presidential campaign going, boozebag?
