Coming-up elections?

Simple. The word "respecting" in today's English is "Redgarding". It is the first clause of the "Bill of Rights" meaning the rights of the people. It says the government can not make laws about religion.

Your playing a game of semantics, nevertheless we can play this game in the appropriate thread which I started!!!!

 

[Seraph]

I don't get it.

 

[davideyoung]

You asked a question regarding Duncan Hunter in this thread. I answered. You challenged my answer, and I rebutted. I don't have one conversation in two threads.

 

[moodswings]

what's all this fuss about? it's clear to me that playing a game of sematics isn't a good one

 

[curefiend]

I understand the Duncan Hunter conversation, but the conversation evolved into a discussion regarding Church and State did it not? So thus I created an appropriate thread regarding that subject matter.

 

[nelly]

what is that conversation could you tell me what that's about?

If Bush keeps trying to keep this war going, he's going to ensure another Democratic victory.

Unfortunatley, I see that to be the situation as well. They messed up the last election real bad. A Democratic victory in the 08 election would be incredibly upsetting....

Well who do you want to win? It's either going to be the Democrats or Republicans.

I'm sorry, but this country has never and will never even sniff Socialism. You can take that bull**** and go to France.

Vermont recently elected the first socialist Senator in American history. And I hate France, why the hell would I go there, I'd rather bring that bull**** here.

It isn't going to happen curefiend. And thank goodness.

I pressume your talking about Bernie Sanders -- he calls himself a "democratic socialist" so essentially he's in line with the entire Democratic party. He wants welfare, Social Security, income redistribution ...pretty much all out dependence on the gov't, like all Democrats.

However, the Socialism I was talking about is the old Marxist "workers control means of production".

And anyway, we're talking about Vermont. They don't even deserve to be a state. I hope Canada annexes them.

And you're nuts if you think the majority of Americans will ever accept complete government control -- not only does it go against every principle of the Founding Fathers, but it is simply an irrational and impossible system that cannot work.

You are right, Bernie Sanders is more of a social democrat than any real form of socialist, but its the fact that someone sporting the title can get elected. Which goes to show someone can get elected based off of policies and beliefs rather than party affiliation was my general point.

Why doesn't Vermont deserve to be a state? I wish the entire south weren't part of the US, they should secede now, I promise no civil war this time.

If you think what I am preaching is complete "government control" my friend you are thinking of Stalinism and that is most definately not what I support.

Fair enough.

Because they're so out there. I was making a joke. Hey, if the South seceded it would have secure borders with a fence and armed guards, low taxes, strong military/defense, minimal gov't interference, strict constructionism, and state sanctioned church revivals with fried chicken. I wouldn't mind.

If you think what I am preaching is complete "government control" my friend you are thinking of Stalinism and that is most definately not what I support.

I'm sorry but doesn't Communism, by definition, entail total gov't control where all income is evenly redistributed.
