Yarborough: Non-Christian Prayers Could Spell Trouble!

^^And don't forget Sarah Palin's and Newt Gingrich's tirades against opening a mosque in lower Manhattan.

Meh.  I'm not a fan of that either, but less for religious reasons than for the sake of tact.

Fundamentalist nut-jobs who warped the religion to suit their tastes killed a lot of people.  Now lets build that religion's place-of-worship on the same site. 

Tacky.

It'd have been better to not put anything else there at all, IMO.

Get your facts straight, honey.  It is three blocks away and has no line of sight.

Thanks, sweetheart.  I should've been more clear in bringing the source of my point to the table.  I'll work on that.

If the mosque isn't on site, is blocks away, and has no line-of-sight, then why all the commotion from the other nut-jobs over the mosque?  Because they're nut-jobs, and their imaginary man in the sky is cooler than someone else's imaginary man in the sky?

The "conservative" party sure likes to pander to those nut-jobs, though.

[Doctor_K]

Touche.

So then in your opinion, is it a party of, by, and for the nut-jobs?  Or does it have the potential to be better, if it off-loaded said nut-jobs?

Well of course it (and the country) would be better off if the nut-jobs were off loaded.  I don't see that happening though.  The party leaders back in the 80s thought they could throw a few bones to the nut-jobs and use them like you said to get out the vote.  But unfortunately for them (and us), the lunatics have taken over the asylum and the result was the disaster of the Bush administration.  And nothing has changed in that party since he left office.  If anything, they've gotten even more bat-shit crazy.

Michele Bachmann. Queen bat-shit.

I think that a whole lot more people would be 'conservative' if the conservative movement believed in true individual freedom. 
Many conservatives vigorously demand financial autonomy, but do not mind having a theocracy that controls our spiritual and religious freedom.  They do not mind placing limits on public expression of 'inferior' religions or faiths.  They do not mind requiring us to live our lives according to their belief systems.  This is one reason whythe conservative movement is unable to close the deal with gaining more public support for their ideas...

^^I think you are absolutely right, Jaxson.

A Fundamentalist Baptist Minister in Alabama, sorely tempted,
finally propositioned the Choir director one night after practice,
when they were alone in the Church.
  "Where should we do it, Reverend?" she enthusiastically replied.
  "Right here on the floor!" he panted.
  "It'd be too cold." she whispered. "How about standing up?"
  "Good Lord, girl!  Have you taken leave of you senses?" he shouted.
"If anyone came in, they'd think we were dancing!"

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing
on the edge, about to jump off.  So I ran over and said "Stop!
don't do it!"
  "Why shouldn't I?" he said.
  I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!"
  He said, "Like what?"
  I said, "Well...are you religious or atheist?"
  He said, "Religious."
  I said, "Me too!  Are you christian or buddhist?"
  He said,"Christian."
  I said, "Me too!  Are you catholic or protestant?"
  He said, "Protestant."
  I said, "Me too!  Are you episcopalian or baptist?"
  He said, "Baptist!"
  I said,"Wow!  Me too!  Are you baptist church of god or
baptist church of the lord?"
  He said, "Baptist church of god!"
  I said, "Me too!  Are you original baptist church of god,
or are you reformed baptist church of god?"
  He said,"Reformed Baptist church of god!"
  I said, "Me too!  Are you reformed baptist church of god,
reformation of 1879, or reformed baptist church of god,
reformation of 1915?"
  He said, "Reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1915!"
  I said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him off.

A man walks into the woman's section of a department store
and tells the sales clerk he wants to buy a bra for his wife.
  "What type of bra?" asked the clerk.
  "Type?" inquires the man, "there's more than one type?"
  "There are three types," replies the clerk, "The Catholic
type, the Salvation Army type, and the Baptist type.  Which
one do you need?"
  Still confused the man asked,  "What is the difference in
them?"
  The clerk responds, "It is really very easy.  The Catholic
type supports the masses,  the Salvation Army type lifts up
the fallen and the Baptist type makes mountain's out of mole
hills."

A man went to heaven and was being shown around by St. Peter.
As they went from cloud to cloud they came to various doors which
St. Peter would open. One showed a large group rolling on the floor
and talking in tongues.  "Our Pentecostals" he said..
  Next was a serious ritual. "Our Jewish persuasion" he replied.
Then another ritualistic service. "Our Catholics".
At the next cloud, he didn't open the door but instead put his
forefinger to his lips in the hush motion and they both tip toed
past.. Once past, the man asked what that was all about !?
  "Those are the Baptists", he explained. "They think they are the
only one's here".

I oppose a mosque at ground zero.

Is no one going to stand for the rights of the fundamentalist religious to be democratically represented in all levels of government according to their respective voting bloc?

What about democracy?

[finehoe]

Good for you.  No mosque is proposed for ground zero.

[buckethead]

If the majority of voters elected Mr Yarborough, those voters have every right to determine how meetings are conducted, right?

"Constitution!" you say? Balderdash. Merely a pesky obstacle for the majority to vote on.

Democracy. Remember? That's what we are.
