Twilight of the old white guys

I understand how it's supposed to work, but disagree how it's often used to approve a cult like Islam.

Cult? It's been around too long for that status. Mormonism is a cult however.

I disagree, but respect your right to be wrong!

Mormonism has strong elements of Christianity in it.

This country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, not Islam principles. To argue they are similar is valid for many, but not to others.

Stop listening to Barton. That's not what the country was founded on.

And it wouldn't matter even if it was. The Amendment speaks to the Freedom of Religion for the Believer. What they believe in, within reason if they act upon it, is up to them.

BULLSHIT ALERT!

Sorry I don't have time to reason with your idiotic views. It's grass mowing time!

Islam is a cult, not a true religion, and should not be protected by the First Amendment!

Please explain how Islam is a cult, but Christianity and Judaism are not. Additionally, do you consider Hinduism to be a cult? Also explain your claim that Islam should be be protected by the First Amendment.

I understand how it's supposed to work, but disagree how it's often used to approve a cult like Islam.

Mormonism is a Christian denomination.

This country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, not Islam principles. To argue they are similar is valid for many, but not to others.

Define, in your own words, "Judeo-Christian principles" and "Islam principles". I am curious as to how you believe these things differ, especially given that perhaps the most important aspect to Christianity and Islam is that both religions teach that Jesus will return, whereas Jews believe he will not.

"bigoted people are helpfully dying off, and we now have a messy and nearly incomprehensible Catherine wheel of assorted nonwhite minorities (and women) all spinning, dancing and surging into the limelight – not to mention the cross-breeds, the already mixed, the racially unidentifiable who are, say, a quarter black, a quarter Chinese, a quarter Indian, a third polyamorous and a tenth Cuban kinky hipster lesbian schoolteacher, with a no-religious-affiliation kicker.

This is your new American majority, each and every one of whom terrifies the old guard, the rich white guys, Ted Nugent, Bill O’Reilly, and the way it used to be. And this is why the Republican party threw every repulsive weapon it had at Obama to try and avert the inevitable; deep down, they sensed their own imminent obsolescence, even if they didn’t quite believe it was possible.

And oh, they tried everything. Racism. Birtherism. Sexism. Abortion, birth control, “legitimate rape” and irresponsible “sluts.” Religious intolerance, homophobia, xenophobia, Socialism, Communism, Nazis, Kenya, monkeys, Big Bird, gun rights, tax laws, welfare, elitism, oil shortages, health care reform that would secretly herd up and kill the elderly. Just for starters.

Praise Jesus, we no longer have a single dominant religion. "

I love this. I love the topic, I love the theme of the article you're quoting from, and most of all, I love the fact that this worldview, this belief that Republicans are only rich, old, white males that hate everyone else, is easily proven as wrong.

First Asian Pacific American elected to the Senate and first American of Chinese ancestry elected to Congress.

Hiram Rhodes Revels (September 27, 1827[note 1] – January 16, 1901) was a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME), and a Republican politician. He was the first African American to serve in the United States Senate, and in the U.S. Congress overall.

Jeannette Pickering Rankin (June 11, 1880 – May 18, 1973) was the first woman in the United States Congress, elected in Montana in 1916 and again in 1940.

Political party Republican

Octavio Ambrosio Larrazolo (December 7, 1859 – April 7, 1930) was a Republican politician who served as the fourth Governor of New Mexico and a United States Senator. He was the first United States Senator of Mexican-American heritage.

Asians, women, Mexicans, blacks--all of these firsts coming from Republicans. The GOP has never shunned any group; we merely refuse change our message to cater to them specifically, which is what the Democrats do. The Republican Party is clearly not the exclusive country club leftists imagine it to be.

So if we die off, Vladimir, who's going to be left to tell you to pull up your pants?

No, besides their own hungry mouths. As they're going to have to learn to pull those pants up by their own hands. Simply because they will have two choices,,,1. starve like in Liberia or 2. learn economics and food production.

I'm an old white guy. Most likely will die an old white guy. Rich? By what standards? Being a white guy worked pretty well for me all of my life. Can't see changing that now.

Well, the left is happy you're going to be dead soon as they hate you for being white!

We old white guys are getting stronger politically, and Christianity is still the dominant religion in this country!

Islam is a cult, not a true religion, and should not be protected by the First Amendment!

You don't seem to understand how the First Amendment works.

I understand how it's supposed to work, but disagree how it's often used to approve a cult like Islam.

What about Catholicism? Is that a Cult? Church of Latter Day Saints?

Where in the constitution did it mention that you would be who defines cults?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Republicans control the House, a majority of state houses, and a majority of governorships. Outside of the coasts, and not even all of them, Democrats are an endangered species. There is only so much race and gender and class pandering you can do and still win.
Nope, Dems are the endangered party here.

Foolish gibberish from Da Rahb.

As America grows more younger, browner, technological, secular, and Millenial, if the GOP does not reach seriously to those constituents, the Dems will destroy the Pubs.

The numbers and the demographics eviscerate your statement.

(1) false as the elections since 2006 have shown generally

(2) the old style evangelical and fundamentalist Christian denominations are failing, while rationalist Christianity is just fine, thank you

I was not aware that "growing more technological" was something partisans claimed was a Democratic Advantage.

Outside your imaginary world, is there any evidence you have upon which base this claim?



Don't strain yourself with facts.

Using the race card again.
People are getting really sick and tired of it.

The problem this President and his administration has, is that he is representing the 20% far left in this country and not the whole nation.
He has left out the 80% who are conservative and moderate and has demonized them, with the mainstream media who is going along with it.

President Clinton did the same thing in his first 2 years in office and when the Dem's lost and Republicans won he went to the middle like this Prescient should have done when the Dems lost the House in 2010.
Our Presidents are suppose to represent the whole country not just 20%.

Obama represents wall street, corporations, and multi billionaires like every other president we've ever had, repub and democrat. It's that five to ten percent difference between the two parties that keeps me voting democrat. A democrat might throw the working class a bone with a little meat on it, so to speak, and maybe have a child care program or something to help the poor. A republican won't do this because it might destroy your ambition to work, whether there's any jobs or not. Better to send the kids dumpster diving said a famous conservative that has millions of devoted listeners. Obama by the way is the most conservative democrat yet and not by any stretch of the imagination, a liberal.

You're right. I hate him for being white even though I'm white. Makes sense.

Except....he easily won reelection in 2012...
