If only people would listen, instead of brushing her off if she's not 'on their team'.

I have never actually seen her before though I do see her name thrown around a lot. What she said here seems to make sense.

She must be getting ready to join the Barney Frank team at the male Brothel he owns.

Strange that people make sense when they just repeat what you already believe in.......

She put up a bit of an argument. You haven't. The Democrats only won by default which she is arguing against. She says that the Republicans need to get back on their feet and offer a reasonable alternative - which they didnt really do this time around. Without a reasonable alternative the Democrats can not only stay in office but basically do whatever they want. That applies not only to the US but every democracy. You need at least two credible options to chose between and to have a reasonable debate. Obama should have lost, but the Republicans didnt come off as being any better than Obama. In fact the strong social conservatism in the Republican party made them seem far worse.

The same is true up here. A big part of Harper winning the election here in 2011 was that there was no credible alternative.

And the only way that will happen is if congress approves it which would require Republican votes, so its not happening.

Liberals do the same thing. Unless the "conservative" is "moderate", they won't listen, because any true conservative is racist, misogynist, or "cramming religion down our throats".

Love how you suppress the truth here.

Maddow said "nobody's taking anyone's guns away...", after Obama called for an assault weapons ban.

Maddow is a liar. Why don't you try to put some "liberal spin" on this and prove us wrong.

You for everyone and their dog having the ability to walk in and buy assault guns? And I am not doing Liberal spin.

She's partially wrong on a single point. There's no plan to take guns away generally, she's right about that, but the administration does want a ban on assault weapons, so those might get taken away from the relatively few people who have them. And for that you dismiss her as a liar. Considering what else you said in that post, do you not see the irony in that?

Yes. I can go buy an assault weapon tonight if I wanted to, unless it was a handgun. Handguns have a ridiculous 4 week waiting period after purchase.

Of course. If she says "nobody's taking anyone's guns away" and some folks no matter the limited number DO end up losing their assault weapons, this would make her a wrong, no? I think she's smart enough to know exactly what an assault weapon ban could at least curtail. That would make not only wrong but a liar in my books.

You've heard me bash zealots on both sides of the aisle to know that I think picking a tem, no matter which team, over your nation is wrong.

We can certainly hear both sides out, that's only fair, but the nation can't follow two opposing ideologies at the same time.

Peace, fairness, justice, freedom - Is that an ideology?

No it's not. Everyone is "pro-peace", "pro-fairness", "pro-justice" and "pro-freedom". Unfortunately liberals can't clue in that:

- "Pro-peace" means being "anti-bully" (war may be necessary to ensure peace, or that a strong military is a deterrent)

- "Pro-fairness" means you can't rob the rich to help the poor (socialism)

- "Pro-justice" doesn't include denying an unborn child it's God-given right to life

- "Pro-freedom" doesn't mean you can suppress criticism of Muslims or homosexual behavior (for example) under the guise of "hate-speech"

sure it can.

how healthcare, and how corporations run, for example, do not need to follow the same ideology. How a poor state and how a rich state need to be governed, are not the same thing.

One single rigid ideology will never be optimal.

Let's pick one moral issue like abortion. One side says yes, the other no. How can we follow both ideologies at the same time. We can't!

Life is full of decision. each single issue requires a decision. The problem is that Democrats and Republicans have a set script, and try to apply it religiously to all decisions. You can't. Yes, in the end, abortion needs a decision. and one side wins or loses, but that doesn't qualify them to make the rest of the decisions.

Inciting hatred is justified? I think not- Religious Fundamentalists as yourself condemn all Muslims based upon Religion and your religious Beliefs- Again I believe in Free Will
Tell me what Jesus spoke about Homosexuality.

Lucky for you most liberals are fair minded enough to permit you to spew your hatred against muslims, homosexuals and women that have a right to determine what happens to their bodies. Liberals also protect your right to belong to whatever whacked out cult you wish.

Did I miss something? Someone FORCE you to have an abortion? Thought not. Yet you are perfectly willing to force your cult dogma on others.

I can agree on that. That no one side is qualified to make all the decisions based on a favorable decision they get on a single issue.

That has nothing to do with socialism. The moral of that parable is to not love money like a "god", not "tax the rich".

Quote:

Sure, but just because some folks use their free will to commit murder doesn't make it right. Hello!

Quote:

Allowed would be a more fitting word than justified. Justified would mean those views have merit.

More word play. JUDGMENT of Muslims and their religion isn't "condemnation". To condemn Muslims would be to tell them they're going to hell - no matter what. (Which I won't do because they still have time to convert)

Quote:

Tell me what Jesus spoke about Homosexuality.

Gladly. He condemned it:

ASK THE PREACHER - Did Jesus Say Anything About Homosexuality Carl Gallups Explains - YouTube



Also, a heads up. "Tolerance" of homosexual behavior is NOT the same as "acceptance". I'm also wise to that word play, so please don't try it.
