The Bug House Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 What has this party turned into? One step closer to being hijacked by the religious special interest groups? You know, like the GOP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoobee Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) I am surprised that Realtree allows partisan political comments. It is much more intelligent to discuss hunting issues here. Like where have all the deer gone? As for the two major parties, since this is an election year some dufus-es cannot resist taking sides and showing their low I/Q's by spouting their one-sided opinions. Formerly in Russia and currently in China they only allowed one party. Imagine how lucky we are in the USA and Europe to have at least two parties everywhere. Gives everyone a choice, at least. As much as I hate the opposite party and their leader, whom I view to be solely obstructionist, I am glad that there are two parties which serve as checks and balances on each other. That way when the leadership within one party or the other gets really out of line, such as Nixon with Watergate, or Clinton with cigars for Monica, the other party can step in, given the sanction of the voice of the People. Wisconsin is a swing state, but such a small one that it does not really matter that much. The states that really matter are Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan as far a swing states go. http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/electoral-map Edited September 9, 2012 by Shoobee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Religion and politics have not ever mixed well....not even in biblical times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Religion and politics have not ever mixed well....not even in biblical times. That's why the Declaration of Independence reads thusly: "....to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them...." "....all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator..." And the Constitution was ratified on "..the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven....." And all are capitalized. The founders didn't think it was such a bad idea to mix politics and religion. They just thought it was a bad idea for government to sanction a state religion. And, my oh my, how far out a flimsy limb the ACLU lawyers have taken that one !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bug House Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 What has this party turned into? ..."As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion"... Treaty of Tripoly 1797 The US always has been and always will be a secular nation. State Govt's on the other hand can legislate any god into their Govt they like.

Religion itself is vain......but that's a whole other topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
