I'm pointing out what they've said for a long time.

Of course, this was in 2007. before "OH MY GOD THERES A NEGRO IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!"

Then the Baptists just love them some Mormons after the Brokers on Wall Street told them that was their only alternative.

daveman won't be smart enough to just slither away from this thread.

None of you are smart enough to give me a reason to leave, Taliban-supporter.

Class bespeaks itself.

That being said, no one should be taunting you to leave a thread. We are here to debate, so, debate!

When a soldier deserts his post, when he writes that he is ashamed to be an American, when he gives the enemy secrets (and he did), he is no longer “one of us”. He is a traitor. He is not a brother-in-arms.

Soldiers risk their lives for each other every day on the battlefield, there is a trust and respect they have for each other. For Bowe Bergdahl to break that trust and the Secretary of Defense to announce a hero’s welcome instead of a court-martial is a huge let-down.

He isn't one of their own. He is one of them. He is the enemy.

That's not something to celebrate.[/INDENT]

Democrats didn't anticipate it because they don't see the issue with anything he did. It wasn't part of their world. So it never crossed their mind. They didn't review it and reject it, they just never thought of it.

There are some...like the scumbag Synthia...who actively support groups like the Taliban, so they see Bergdahl as a hero for joining them.

I have been. You know I'm under no obligation to kiss your ass, right? Because some progs have trouble understanding what "debate" is. They seem to think they can say any old stupid thing they want and then they're entitled to instant, unthinking agreement and endorsement.

If you're one of those, perhaps USMB is not the board for you. Prog echo chambers are way over to the left.

Testy, testy, testy. I actually stood up for you and you act like a dick.

Ok, got it.

Carry on.

Where did you do that?

 

[Synthaholic]

Horseshit doesn't deserve repeating.

It's always funny when non-believers dictate what believers' views should be. You consistently get it wrong.

I got nothing wrong.

It's written into the bylaws of the Southern Baptist Convention that Mormonism is a cult. That's a fact.

So clearly they are dictating what their believers' views should be.

Do you ever get tired of stepping in shit, dave?

So, because the Southern Baptists believe it, ALL Christians do?

Yes, I get tired of stepping in shit. Most of it seems to come from you. Dumbass.

You were accusing me, saying I "dictate what believers' views should be."

I showed that that is done by those believers themselves, who believe that Mormons are cultists.

You are wrong once again. And won't admit it. Petulance indeed.

 

[Synthaholic]

Wow. Just...wow. You can try to deny reality all you want, but all it accomplishes is make you look even more like a mindless Obama ass-suck.

Thank you for not even bothering to try to argue that they are terrorists.

Tell us, dave: why weren't these Taliban 5 held as Enemy Combatants?

They are terrorists. I can't believe anyone smart enough to operate a personal computer is stupid enough to claim they aren't...but you're living proof.

Tell us, dave: why weren't these Taliban 5 held as Enemy Combatants?

 

[Synthaholic]

And that excuses your flaming hypocrisy...how, exactly?

Hint: It doesn't. Dumbass.

Hypocrisy because I won't answer his dumbass questions or jump through hoops for him? Or for you?

No, dumbass. Hypocrisy for criticizing me for using the "why should I bother?" response when you do the exact same thing.

I certainly don't respond to 99% of the stupidity that [MENTION=47248]bedowin62[/MENTION] dope spews.

If you equate me with that retard, then why do you to reply to my posts? You saying "why should I bother" to me is a hell of a lot different than me saying it to him. Especially since I just finished posting it for him in another thread.

 

[Synthaholic]

Too funny, ignorant, but funny.

Are the Taliban listed on the State Department's list of terrorist groups?

A simple yes or no will do.

I want you to take a careful look at what you're so mindlessly supporting:

UN report flays Taliban rights violations against women in Afghanistan

Taliban treatment of women - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taliban war crimes: Human rights groups finally notice.

List of Taliban?s atrocities and crimes in Afghanistan

Good God -- You'll say and believe ANYTHING in support of your little tin god, won't you?

You're a disgusting excuse for a human being.

Have you a case of the vapors, dave? Feel faint?

Why isn't the Taliban on the list of terrorist organizations? This is the second time I'm asking.

Statement by the Southern Baptist Church on the mormon church

Rob Bowman with the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) says Christians need to be aware that the beliefs of the Mormon Church are inconsistent with biblical Christianity. As one Mormon candidate launches his White House bid, the Southern Baptist official is urging Christians to take advantage of materials his denomination offers that teach the truth about Mormonism.

As former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney officially announced his presidential candidacy this week, a cover story in USA Today looked at the beliefs of the Mormon Church, formally known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Rob Bowman, manager of the apologetics and interfaith evangelism department of the SBC’s North American Mission Board (NAMB), thinks Christians would be wise to take an even closer look at the Mormons, lest any be deceived about the nature and tenets of that religious group. He says although the Mormon Church wages an expensive public relations campaign, using terms familiar to appeal to evangelicals, the core teachings of the church do not line up with scripture and are inconsistent with evangelical Christianity.

For this reason, Bowman says the SBC has for decades offered, through its various entities, information resources focusing on the Mormon Church. Many of these resources detail the differences between Christian and Mormon beliefs — of which there are many, the NAMB official observes.

For example, Bowman notes, "In 15 short years, [Mormon Church founder] Joseph Smith went from being a thoroughgoing monotheist, a believer in one god, to a thoroughgoing polytheist, teaching the existence of many gods." Also, he points out, the Latter-day Saints teach that humans can achieve godhood by joining the church and taking part in specific deeds and ceremonies.

Such divergent beliefs are among the reasons, the NAMB official asserts, why Christians must know the Bible, so as not to be fooled by non-biblical Mormon teachings. As for the Mormon Church members themselves, he adds, "Our concern is that they don’t really know the God of the Bible. So we’re concerned for their salvation."

The concern of Bible-believing Christians is that Mormons do not know the real Jesus of scripture, Bowman explains. The SBC’s desire, he says, is not only to see evangelicals learn about the differences between Mormonism and Christianity but also to see Mormons come to know Jesus and have an authentic relationship with Him.

Of course, this was in 2007. before "OH MY GOD THERES A NEGRO IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!"

Then the Baptists just love them some Mormons after the Brokers on Wall Street told them that was their only alternative.

Hey, dumbshit...Not all Christians are Southern Baptists.

Damn, you're stupid, aren't you?

The point is that Southern Baptists overwhelmingly voted for Mormon Bishop Romney.

And race had NOTHING to do with it!

So if I factually state that the Taliban are not terrorists, I'm a Taliban-supporter?


This is why no one takes you seriously, daveman.

You are an idiot, did you know that? Show me where the SBC dropped that language after Obama got elected.

Wait, they didn't.


I guess that makes you the asshole bigot, again.

Guy, you are missing the point, quite possibly because you are slightly retarded.

Now, being an atheist, I find the notion that an eternal, omnipotent, omniscient is up there sitting on a cloud really worried about what Church you are going to be sort of absurd. But Baptists and Mormons really, really believe this stuff.

Yet in 2012, the Baptists totally got behind Mitt Romney.

Now, I guess I find this a bit confusing, because if you really think that people are going to hell for converting to Mormonism, the last thing you really want to do is endorse the "Heresy" by voting one into the White House.

Unless you are a slack-jawed Southern Bigot who is just crapping himself at the thought of a Negro in the White House.

I guess now that Romney lost, you can go back to calling the "Heretics".

Damn, you're stupid, aren't you?

Well, no, they aren't. But the majority or Romney's support in 2012 came from the very same people who supported Huckabee in 2008 because they couldn't bring themselves to vote for a Mormon Heretic.

Clearly, a choice between their immortal souls and voting for a Negro, they just couldn't vote for a Negro.

But the Moral Majority has always been more about Racism than Moral Issues. Before the Civil rights movement, the Baptists considered abortion to be a "Catholic" issue.

What do our soldiers think about Bush lying to the entire world to start a war that the US designed to never end and torturing POWs like we're the Viet Cong?

Someone should ask them.

Did Bush get the "liar of the year" award like Obama did? Didn't think so.

Bush dotted the I's and crossed the T's with Congress and the UN before committing troops, along with NATO allies, to Iraq.

Tell me what "LIE" Bush told or STFU!

That Saddam had a mobile means of delivering WMDs within 45 minutes.

Let's start with that one.
