“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”
― Barry Goldwater
Barry Goldwater also thought that the 1964 civil rights bill was a bad idea. Do you think that the 1964 civil rights bill was a bad idea, because BARRY said so?
Agree with the prescience of his quote, disagree with his stance on the Civil Rights bill.
So, he's not an Authority we should defer to, just some guy that happened to agree with you on one thing.
So, why you sharing this with us?
It was an apropos quote based on the OP. You don’t agree with it. :shrug:
Some guy agrees with hte op. So? I disagree with the op. I am also some guy. We are at an impasse.
oh no, what to do.
What is this thread about, other than your anti-Christian bigotry?
Nice Straw man, please point out where I supported anti-Christian bigotry?
In your posts where you act as though being supported by a Christian group is a bad thing.
That's anti-Christian bigotry.
If some white guy just talked about the dems being supported by blacks, as though it was inherently bad, you would be able to see that that was racist.
Such things work BOTH WAYS.
I know that is an alien concept to you, but it is true.
Got it, so you got nothing but a fallacious opinion with the intent of picking a fight.
Dismissed
My, that was a quick tail-tucked retreat, even for you. And your attempt to hide that you're running was really lame.
Correll answered the question, and you responded with what was clearly a pre-chosen dismissal that had nothing to do with his post, just to try to give yourself an excuse to stop talking to someone who punctured your little balloon.
Really?
I don’t cavil with people who use straw men to create a false narrative. Posting a quote that was germane to the OP topic doesn’t translate into someone espousing “anti Christian bigotry”. That poster had nothing but a puerile insult because we were at a “impasse” (His words)
So yes, I dismiss peevish displays of hyperbole that attempt to serve as an actual argument.
THE op topic is presenting the support of the gop by white Christians as though it is inherently bad, for reasons that are not clearly presented.
That is anti-Christian bigotry.
Oh, so now it’s the topic. This back and forth started when you accused me of “anti-christian bigotry”.
Which is it?
Both, Mensa Boy. That was the OP's topic, and that was also what you said in response to the OP's topic.
Did you somehow think you couldn't both be racist religious bigots?
More puerile insults. Another one who proves my sig correct.
Bless your heart.
Another attempt at retreating while pretending you're not from Mr. "I don't care at all about this message board". Interesting.
