Despite the unending attempt to tie the two together, Conservatism has nothing to do with Christianity or any other religion for that matter. Christians don't get any type of pass from true Conservatives.
John Boehner was a good republican and catholic- until the Pope came and addressed Congress at his invitation.
Uh, well, no, Christian churches are a meeting place and social club for right wing conservatives.
There isn't a Conservative out there that would describe his time as speaker as playing for our team. He was a complicit assbag progressive, good riddance to that piece of shit.
I reject the premise that churches house Conservatives. They may call themselves such, but I can call my my big toe the queen of England, yet no one will be pledging fealty to it any time soon.
of course you reject reality, you fucking hate reality. and reality hates you.
so you accept and include anyone, as long as they do not accept and include anyone who is gay, black, female, hispanic, muslim, non-religious, and the like?
He had the good sense to turn water into wine and give everybody a drink. That's pretty dang good.
You may call yourself a conservative, but I can call my car a boat, doesn't mean I can drive it to Hawaii
Thank you for your agreement. It's always nice to have one's point validated by people on the other side of the debate.
You're missing the point. People are whatever they claim they are, your belief is irrelevant and you don't get to assign anything to anyone but yourself. Someone could very well claim you don't fit their version of what "conservative" means and their statement would be equally as invalid as yours is.
It's a fair argument to a point. However, when a self described Conservative has a history of supporting progressive agendas and policies, that argument goes right out the window. It would be no different than a self described liberal supporting a majority of my viewpoints. You wouldn't hesitate for a second to call them out and you would most likely be correct.
except you are an extremist fringe wingnut, so to call you a conservative would be wrong. right wing extremist hate monger would be a better term for you.
Sooo.... you agree with his point vs. Pada? Or via Pada it's irrelevant? Or you just feel the need to attack?
The difference is that I wouldn't claim anyone is a liberal until they do something bad, like murder someone. If they claim they're a liberal who believes in liberal or progressive policy, then they go shoot up a school or something, they're still a liberal. You guys disown the clowns as soon as they do something bad regardless of motive (even if it's conservative) and refuse to acknowledge the belief system that breeds them (Christianity). Meanwhile, Islam takes the blame for everything bad a Muslim extremist does.
he tries to label himself as a conservative, but he is an extremist in terms of political thought. as are you.
If you'd a wife like that you'd be angry all the time too...
i thought you were on a crusade to ignore me, not obsess over me.
I don't know who "you guys" is directed at, it sure isn't me. If a religious whacko shoots up a church, he gets called what he/she should be called. If they happen to be christian, Atheist, liberal or Conservative, it doesn't affect me in the slightest. It doesn't threaten or shape my personal political positions if he/she happens to agree or disagree with everything I believe.
so when a white supremacist who holds the same beliefs that you do goes and shoots up a black church, we should not look at his white supremacy as the cause of his terrorist rampage?
