Another Republican Hyprocrite. (American Politics)

[Jazcash]

Christianity is very much on the decline.

edit (sorry broke post trying to quote)

[KaiserJ]

going by official sources (some christian world council thinger) it has a growth rate of 1.38% per year (as of 2007)

in the USA "classic" forms of christianity such as protestants and lutherans are on the decline while other (dare i say "more extreme"?) forms of christianity such as jehovahs witnesses, evangelicals and pentecostals have a growth rate higher than that of the christianity in the world overall

am i missing something

(i realize 1.38% may not be accurate; but i challenge you to find a source showing that the number of christians on this planet are shrinking rather than growing)

[PicassoCT]

employment on the decline, christianity on the rise... choosing a candidate these days (in my country too) is like picking what hole you want to be raped in.... there simply are no good viable choices

Yet, there are only two hands to protect three holes.. the old dilema..

[Noruas]

The more extreme? Might not be the right word. Traditional churches are having issues, and seeing those *new* churches, I would not even call them Christians. You need to be more specific, because I think Christianity is thinning. I do not include the churches that accept sexual contact between same genders or those who do not even believe that there is a heaven or hell, because its so fundamental.

That is some mutation that yes, even Bachman would believe is wrong, but its for Christianity, not the country.

Ron Paul will never be president, he spoke too soon, he needs to be president first before saying the things he says. Fighting the system head on means you lose.

banning pornography seems unconstitutional; also bridging religious morality with law is very much against what is shown in the US constitution.

her entire platform reads like an editorial; there is nothing of value or substance to it. criticize obama and big up fundamentalism! before she was in politics iirc she was involved with one of those things where they attempt to brainwash homosexuals into straightness

the USA is doomed because of the distribution of wealth and that bankers have politicians in their back pockets... insane people like this being seriously considered for office is just a sign of the desperation and lack of power among americans whose freedoms are nibbled away at day by day by the corporations and banks who are the ones truly in control.

agree; "extreme" is a bad word to describe it... how about something like "specific types with unusual tenets that conflict or differ from that of the US constitution" (like ones that prohibit abortion to just grab one randomly)

obviously as a canadian this is all an outsiders perspective. but surely we can agree that an elected official in ANY country where church and state are separated by constitutional law is a massive conflict of interest that only worsens according to the extremity of and commitment to their views

edit: and i'm not even meaning to come hard on christianity, this was an example too... if most political candidates belonged to the same fraternal institution of any type (freemasons, songwriters guild, OTA pros, etc) then that would be just as much a conflict of interest and it worries and saddens me

Nah, freedom of speech doesn't apply to pornography.

also bridging religious morality with law is very much against what is shown in the US constitution.

But very much in line with the US motto.

[knorke]

I did not know US had porn. Or only with censored nipples or something.

Always was for banning and courtmarshalling de Sade...

It's not just the USA. This is correct for the entire world.

[smoth]

pretty much. I am thinking we are due for an actual war.

[Forboding Angel]

No, that's japan

I'd vote for Ron Paul in a millisecond if I thought that he had a snowballs chance of actually winning or even getting enough votes to be more than a joke.

[smoth]

japan censors pubes not nipples. which is part of why japanese porn is bearable... you cannot make out the black steel wool and bruise roast beef that accounts for a ruined porno vag.

funny thing is, if everyone who thought this way voted for him, Im not saying he would win, but he would be a much more serious contender than he is now.

It didn't even vote last election, I was in a hospital

Kaiser for President!

I bet banning porn to help marriages comes from the same school of thought as not telling children about how babies are made reducing teen pregnancy rates.

[KaiserJ]

sorry for going after christians the other day as my example. when i re-read my posts, there wasn't a heck of a lot of clarity... anyways im glad i was able to eventually state my point

embarassing, terrible, disgusting.

edit: i always felt Don "The Predator" Frye would be a good president. 15 seconds in... he's already got the shirt for the job. http://youtu.be/fNfnVtMeI84

"where's our Putin... we need someone running around kicking ass and not apologizing for it"

[Forboding Angel]

I think Obama was a poor choice but then again I want me sone ron Paul. Problem is we would get a lunatic like Bachman as his running mate. I think personally that palin ruined McCain's chance

Problem is, Obama is a disaster, and McCain imo would have been as bad, if not worse. At least Obama finally has forces the US' hand when it comes to fiscal policy, and assuming that the current rep controlled house doesn't pussy out, we should be headed towards the right track. This is all hinging the hope on that they don't go retarded like on bush's second term. Even the republicans were like dude... wtf???

The nice thing is that Obama's spending makes that shit look like no news at all. So maybe after we vote enough of these pussies out of office, we'll finally get a president that doesn't such and a congress that isn't full of morons who can't keep their dicks in their pants while cameras are watching. Congressman Weiner, I'm looking in your direction (but not at your Weiner).

On the other hand, it is a testament to how good our system of government is that it has withstood 2 decades of morons and is still going fairly strong, but it will only take so much. If we don't fix it soon (as in vote out the hardcore morons), we'll have real trouble on our hands.

Imo anyway.

The unusual thing is, that we did this long without bankrupt belly up... its a comon historic phenomena..

Where there is credit without responsibility, there opens a black-hole... how about a disaster-responsibility-tax? The moar your moneys did grow in years of debt-growth, the moar you have to pay when the crash comes. No exceptions.

Such a tax would hit inocent average joe? Well inocent average joe got his share of that cake exactly like mr.bigshot, and when it goes in perecentages, it hurts the same..
