Box76 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Glad to see there are some people with enough courage to look after the best interests of our country without worrying about keeping up the facade of the liberal PC agenda. Take a look across the pond to see what Sharia is doing and some think there is no threat here? Mr. West is a hero in a world of dumbed down do-gooders who think being nice is the key to survival.

Teller Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Well, mentioning that what he's doing is wrong is flipping out, call me guilty. But I still don't see any denunciation out of you for this, but only for those who pick on your team.L:ike I said,, they came for the guy down the street.. etc etc etc. It's been played out throughout history. But this time will be different, I'm sure. Joe McCarthy was only in office for 3 years when he started up. How long anyone has been there has no bearing on what they want to or will do. Besides, the point is that this is now a guy serving in our government, and he wants to start a religious crusade. Those always go over so well, don't you think? ~Bang So again, all this being the case, you must be a socialist, if Sanders doesn't bother you. (And as you pointed out before, you don't mind labels.) And, um, "crusade?" Really? He's against religion influencing our laws and secular society. Seems to me, that's something you're generally in FAVOR of.

Seems to me, that's something you're generally in FAVOR of. Hog, honestly, you can't be this dense. He's not against religion, he's against A religion. I guarantee you he's not against anything Christian. In fact, I'd bet he's probably in favor of furthering Christian influence in his district, if not the entire country. we've got one of his constituents already posting in the thread. Shall we bet a Pepsi? The problem with this stuff is that the muslims in this country are an easy target, People who follow a guy like this are already convinced they pose more of a threat than they do. Notice blockhead Box up there. And when you do this sort of thing it riles those people up and puts other people who are not bothering anyone at risk. Unless we'd like to believe that people in the South or in this country in general are not prone to running with half the knowledge they need and hurting people? This sort of thing is dangerous, and you know it is. If this was a muslim congressman spouting how he'd like to limit Christian influence on the law, you'd be crying foul from the highest flagpole. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be consistent. Let's see some posting changes in the yearly "happy holidays" threads, and a thread on the very real dangers posed by Bernie Sanders, and we'll call it even.

The 12th Commandment Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 OK. Just be consistent. Let's see some posting changes in the yearly "happy holidays" threads, and a thread on the very real dangers posed by Bernie Sanders, and we'll call it even. What's wrong with happy holidays anyway? It is a festive season for other religions and other people beside Christianity and we are a country full of other people. You can't know the religion of everybody you come into contact with so to me it seems like a friendly and kind of benign thing to do, yet it's an attack? Really, getting pissed at someone who is wishing you well is absurd. When I know someone is Christian or secularly celebrates it, I say Merry Christmas Celebrate whatever damn holiday you want at your house and church. Leave it off public property and have it be among the many holidays celebrated for all religions at schools. Is that just too much common sense for people to accept. I don't get it. There are good fights for the right to have, and I share their view on some of them, but this isn't one of them. Now as for Democrats using the Nazi card I've already come down on my own for that today. Do the posts of any lefty have to consistently attack other lefties for you to think it's "fair" and the you'll show disdain for someone on your side who's being an ass? But only then? Man up and do the right thing for yourself not in response to what others do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to me it IS common sense, that if something that DEFINITELY isn't happening, and is proposed by a freshman congressman, is something to get up in arms about, then an established senator who's an avowed socialist should be cause for nationwide hysteria.

I'll just stop looking for and suggesting any shred of consistency in the tailgate.No hard feelings toward you, Bang, or anyone else. But I pointed out an example of my consistency today and I think there's been a fairly consistent voice from the left opposing MSNBC just as much as Fox. Those are two examples I can come up with right off but there are others. And there are people of all colors who are just asses. And for the record, there is never any animosity as far as I'm concerned. Maybe a little bit of irritation at times (not referring to anyone specifically) this is where we can come and talk about these incendiary things with folks we know who might take the opposing view. That's the best thing about the tailgate IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardowling Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yah.He's the guy who got booted from the Army for nasty interrogation methods in Iraq (and keeps rewriting his story about what happened to make himself look better and better). http://articles.cnn.com/2003-12-12/us/sprj.nirq.west.ruling_1_allen-west-iraqi-detainee-military-justice?_s=PM:US Sooo you read the 15-6? And you know hes making up things how? I have read the 15-6 and I knew the 15-6 Officer in a professional capacity and he never indicated that LTC West did anything to make himself look better. How bout this ask his men how they felt when he "convinced" the chicken**** Iraq policeman to tell where the IEDs where that were killing his men, I bet you'll be very hard pressed to find anyone who will bad mouth the LTC. In my book and many others who were in that war he is a hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm frankly not sure why this is different. And you still haven't touched why this fool is a threat, but Sanders isn't. One of 435 vs. one of 100. Freshman vs. over 20 years on capitol hill. Something that can't be done vs. something that some would like to see more of. No, honestly. THAT I don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about this guy, and his new comments. Why it is whenever confronted with this we have to play the misdirection game is beyond me. The fact is you have assumed what my stance is on Sanders, because I don't think I've ever made it known. When a thread comes up about him and any policies he may try to enact, I'd be glad to. But I prefer to stick to the topic at hand. So far you've tried to make it about insulting the Tea Party, Atheists vs Christmas, and now this guy Bernie Sanders. The only thing you've said about this topic is that he's a little freshman who shouldn't be a worry to anyone. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find the outrage on MSNBC or any other lamestream media page, so other than the article from the clearly non-partisan thinkprogress.org your outrage at the outrage appears to be a little misguided.

Yeah, you're right. We're not criticizing him because he's attempting to start a religious witch hunt and inflame religious conflict by trying to paint a religious minority as a fictional boogieman. We're criticizing him because he doesn't know how to BS, because he's inexperienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
