Everyone can see the friction between the left and the silent majority or the religious right in this country so the question begs to be asked.........

I see more of a "traditional American values" revolution coming, not necessarily religious. More along the lines of freedoms, obligation to self-sufficiency, duty to country, and that type of ideological thinking. (think 1950's;))
I could very well be wrong, but the rumblings that I hear are not concerned with religion per se, but tradition.
 
What the hell does "religeous revolution" even mean?


How would that work?
 
I don't know, are there any good stats out there on activities ?
I do not trust polls, Republicans lie and Democrats do not tell the truth, and the extremists are worse.
 
Nope.



It really doesn't....



R U sure my left wing friend? Just today I heard on the news that a Catholic Bishop in Boston refused Rep Patrick Kennedy (D) left winger Holy Communion for his stand on abortion.........
 
I see a lot of lefties in the no column on the poll......That makes sense....Of course they would want the status quo and for this country to go down the tubes when it comes to morality.

I personally believe the right can only stand so much of this garbage like gay marriage, abortion, and anti military shoved down their throat..........

Instead of rambling on, good sir, why don't you explain what you mean by a "religious revolution". Are we talking about Atheism vs. Religious or amongst the different religions, or what?
 
In all fairness Navy, you aren't asking like: who is in favor of a religious revolution? Or, is a religious revolution in this country a good thing?

What you asked is if I think that a religious revolution is coming in this country.

I don't think that a religious revolution in coming in this country.

read my previous post and that might clear it up for you.....I am talking about morality, good VS evil...........
 
In Europe I foresee problems with Muslim integration. In North America, it's more about the radical evangelical movement gaining power in politics. The evangelical movement in Canada has less of a voice because of the way our media politics operate, but in the U.S. they are loud and obnoxious, and gaining momentum. Even then, I don't think they represent the majority of Christians.

So I guess in short, I see maybe a battle in politics over religion, but on the whole no.

Translation: Lefty is anyone Navy Pride disagrees with independent of the fact that Navy Pride himself holds a great many positions that objectively are in the realm of the Left.

Moving on. Since you brought up the issue of morality, I take it you consider that the Republican party, at least those in power from state to Federal are leftists, not to mention many religious 'conservatives?'

Shall we name the list of those who have 1) Cheated on their spouses 2) fathered illegitimate children 3) Had homosexual relations while condemning homosexuality 4) Made use of prostitution services

I personally believe the right can only stand so much of this garbage like gay marriage, abortion, and anti military shoved down their throat..........

Thanks for proving you're a Social Conservative who doesn't give a **** about government/fiscal conservatism.

Well I disagree.......It may not be a violent revolution, taking up weapons, etc, but it still will be a revolution.........I just hope I live long enough to see it .........

How did he in any way prove that he "doesn't give a **** about government/fiscal conservatism"?
 
Republicans are just about as bad as Democrats when it comes to the issues at hand but for the most part they do support our militaru and oppose gay marriage and abortion...........

I am surprised to see a few of my Conservative friends parting company with me on this...It is sad to see............

Because he focuses almost entirely on social items without discussing the fiscal/governmental aspects which would decrease the role of government. It's not government's job to regulate marriage. But if we let marriage go to the NGOs (as it should), then gay marriage would become essentially legal. Note that would decrease the size of government in our lives, which for a governmental conservative is a good thing. As for abortion, I agree with Dubya's private stance: between a woman and her doctor. Not government's place to get involved in private matters (Terry Schiavo anyone?). Now, if we go and ban that, that's more government especially in enforcement. Not something a fiscal/governmental conservative wants.

What planet are you from? Although I am talking about social issues in this thread you know damn well my feelings on fiscal issues.......

Yeah. You got no problem with massive government and massive spending not to mention interventions by the Federal government into private family matters. I remember your posts about defending Dubya's ridiculous spending programs and growth of government on WS. Furthermore, I do have the post where you stated you disagreed with everything I believe. Need I post that link again?

Big fiscal/governmental conservative you are.

Incorrect on both accounts, but I won't go further off-topic unless you really want me to.

We are getting off topic but when it comes to Government you boy Hussen Obama wants to turn this country into a socialist state with assistance from cradle to grave and wants a health program that would cost the taxpayers a trilion dollars..............
 
Nope.

I think the time for that was a number of years ago, but it was somewhat short lived, politically.

Evangelicalism is still strong in American religion, Catholicism is still going strong, Atheism is somewhat increasing, but has not really changed its character...and so on and so on.

Looking for another "Great Awakening", Navy?

Maybe its because TRUE conservatives oppose big government. Todays "conservatives" advocate your HUGE government regulation of their evangelical social agenda. Goldwater opposed governmental involvement in abortion and gay issues.

The reality is....the so called "Moral majority" represent only a small fringe of the the people in this country. Most people in this country still believe in freedom and don't support government regulation into the most private areas of their lives. Yes, Navy....there will always be a few people such as yourself that advocate for big government and oppose basic freedoms....but America still stands for liberty and justice for all....and eventually gets it right.

Well, Well, Well. Wonder where the idea for this thread started?

Take a look at the time posted. 7:33 PM. You know what was on TV?

The O'Reilly Factor. In fact, right around 7:30, Bill was doing a story about this EXACT topic, featuring none other than Ann Coulter.

Navy, get more original next time.

I'm going to monitor all of your threads and cross-reference them to what's on Fox.
