CBS News released a new poll showing possible candidates ranking among Americans. It reported the favorable ratings of the top three candidates: Giuliani 41% McCain 39% Romney 5% So, what to make of these low numbers for Gov. Romney? Patrick……

Muslim Apostate–a person practicing the religion of Islam.
Christian–a person practicing the religion of Christianity
Muslim–a Muslim who wishes to impose his religious beliefs on others (ie. Sharia law)
Christianist–a Christian who wishes to impose his relgious beliefs on others (ie. ban gay marriage, outlaw the teaching of evolution)

Atheists put their moral standards to law all the time. Everyone does. In fact, part of Natural Law says that murder is wrong, we have that legislated. Now, you can say that is different, but it isn’t. It is a moral judgement on an act. The only thing left is what morals are we going to enact.

For the record, I would love to see Roe V Wade overturned. Most people don’t know this but it wouldn’t make abortion illegal it would just send the issue back to the states..where it belongs. This issue should be settled by the people not the courts.

There was a time in our history when people were not considered full citizens with full rights. In fact, there were people not even considered to be human at all. This distinction was based on skin color. It seems today we make that distinction based on age, whether too young, and now more recently, too old.

Now stepping down from my soap-box………

More fall-out from that article, this time from Hot Air Blog: Romney’s people e-mailed me the link to his exploratory committee’s new website today and I was going to ignore it, but after this? Go on — explore Mitt…….

I wasn’t questioning your usage of “condone”. I was pointing out to our liberal friend that she was jumping off on a nitpicking linguistic tangent that wasn’t valid in the first place.

She wrote:

I find your comments re “condoning” interesting. Is making/keeping something legal the same as condoning it? I hardly think so.

Just wanted to point out that her “I hardly think so.” was hardly linguistically accurate, therefore I conclude that she was trying to engage in misdirection, or didn’t understand the very word about which she was commenting.

Your point was well-spoken and correct, in my opinion. Which of course in my own little mind is always right./sarc.

Un-freaking-believable! National Guard unit stormed while patrolling the border. No injuries were reported, thankfully, but what was this all about? Intel gathering? Distraction? Trying to see if the NG are armed and would engage? The NG may be armed a…

Not that it surprises me, but you’re really behind the times ’sayer. Sullivan’s been proudly using his new word every chance he gets and it’s quickly spreading across the lexicon. For all of those still confused, let me try to help you out.

Thanks for the update but Andrew Sullivan is a FOOL, that would be why I don’t know and couldn’t give a hot plate of pig spit what he said. And BANNING Gay “marriage” isn’t imposing your religious beliefs on anyone, since there never has been a society in the history of man dumb enough to let filthy sodomites “marry”. The filthy homos that surrounded Lots house in Sodom weren’t even DEPRAVED enough to think they should be MARRIED. So obviously any stupid atheist like Sullivan who misses an upheaval of every tradition in the history of man, yet chafes at anyone OBJECTING to said upheaval is, alas I said it before, a FOOL. And so are those who find any worth in what he says, btw.

Psalm 14:1
The FOOL hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

See, according to the Lord your supposed God, Atheists are FOOLS. What do you think that makes those who see them as “trendy”, and who follow their “trends”? Hmmmmmm.

John Hawkins was in on a conference call today with newly minted Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell. I was invited, but couldn’t get away from the filming of HamNation in time. Luckily John’s on the ball.
Like John, I have a hard time……

But what James said is the real point:

Abortion and gay rights can be debated after we ensure that there is an America in which to debate it.

Terrorism and border security are national survival issues. Abortion and gay rights, along with most of the other mostly petty liberal/conservative hangups that we’ve previously had the luxury to debate will all be moot if we don’t take care of them first.
