Lt. gov. nominee Jackson says ‘no apologies’ for past comments on gays, abortion

Yes it is. And even more so when one advocates using the state to enforce the denial of rights.

It's reprehensible to support laws against killing innocent human beings? Yeah, that makes sense.

As far as marriage, it's complicated; suffice to say it's not necessarily reprehensible to want the government to be able to deny something that should be a private matter chiefly involved with the freedom of contract, but it is pretty dumb and illogical. Of course, when the two major camps are disagreeing about wanting the government to permit or not permit another type of contract, that means yes, I think both major camps are being pretty dumb.
 
I kind of like you, Fisher, but that was horrible post... :(

You know, the guy was raised a democrat and quit the party because he saw the democratic policies aimed at black Americans as being tantamount to a new form of slavery. It isn't like the guy was raised on a thoroughbred horse farm in Charlottesville. And if you have another explanation for three generations of the same family being still on welfare after all the liberal successes then I am all ears.
 
What it has to do with is daring to be both black and conservative. This cannot be allowed.

Playing the race card doesn't work any better when conservatives do it. If you want to defend Jackson's character, do so without referencing his race.

I'd pretty much have the same things to say if he were white. Guess it just goes to show that your side has the race card too!
 
Just speaking to reality as I have observed it in the treatment of conservative black Americans.

It's a flaccid argument. Poverty often leads to more poverty. Democrats and reasonable Republicans support social programs designed to get welfare recipients off the 'dole' and into the work force. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Assuming that there is a malevolent intent on either side of the political isle is just stupid and silly.
 
Yeah because being a descendant of slaves he should not have an opinion on such things and because he is a graduate of Harvard Law School and Harvard Divinity School he is clearly dumb as a bag of rocks. By the way, I still have yet to see someone refute his comment about the 3/5ths compromise--reality sucks that way sometimes.

Then maybe he should put some thought into what he says before opens his trap.
 
Seriously, how dare a black man be a christian and seek political office when he should keep his mouth shut and take the welfare check the democrats want him to live on. Somebody needs to give him his comeuppance. Uncle Tom been reading too many books and we can't have that :roll:

This is perhaps one of the most irrational responses I've read. Holy Hysteria Batman, let's keep it reasonable, shall we?

Because you focus on the fact that they are black. Crazy is crazy, and this guy's got plenty of it. Most of the time we say the same things about Michele Bachmann. Is she black?

Not believing that Nancy Pelosi and company know crap about lifting blacks out of poverty and not blaming slavery for all the woes of the world are lynchable offenses to democrats.
Might as well just put on a sheet and burn a cross in his yard. Gotta nip this black thinkin' for themselves in the bud before it spreads like cancer.

No, but she's a woman, and therefore immune to criticism...

Lets hear your solution to lifting blacks out of poverty.

Oh, I completely agree. Just like Sarah Palin and other women. Totally immune.
 
A few of his 'nice, Christian' words included such phrases as:
“Homosexuality is a horrible sin, it poisons culture, it destroys families, it destroys societies; it brings the judgment of God unlike very few things that we can think of,”

True

“Their minds are perverted, they’re frankly very sick people psychologically, mentally and emotionally and they see everything through the lens of homosexuality. When they talk about love they’re not talking about love, they’re talking about homosexual sex.”

Homosexuality was diagnosed as a mental disorder and part of the DSM criteria until it was removed for political reasons

He has also called Democrats “slave masters” and compared Planned Parenthood to the Ku Klux Klan. He also has said the Democratic Party has “An agenda worthy of the Antichrist.”

Planned Parenthood murders a lot of black babies. True

“Liberalism and their ideas have done more to kill black folks whom they claim so much to love than the Ku Klux Klan, lynching and slavery and Jim Crow ever did, now that’s a fact,”

True

Maybe you should listen to those who have lifted themselves out of poverty.

Or so you would have us believe. It's okay to demonize Hillary, but the moment someone comments on the substance of a conservative women, you throw up the red card.

Planned Parenthood doesn't perform involuntary Abortions. But expecting honesty from you is a bit much.

Keep playing that race card, Cons.

Hillary lied to the faces of grieving families at Benghazi while they stood next to the coffins of their murdered loved ones

She's an evil cold hearted &^%$#

They set up the vast majority of their clinics in minority neighborhoods

The Founder of Planned Parenthood was a racist. She believed Blacks were unfit. She didn't think they should be allowed to breed.

I think you must have me confused with another woman who posts here at DP because I have never demonized Hillary Clinton. Understandable, given the attitude toward women that you appear to have.

But it's okay to say that because she's white and a liberal. :lamo

Perhaps they should post this step-by-step tutorial on YouTube, thereby solving poverty.

What's my attitude towards women? This should be interesting.
 
He's an A-hole about gays, but a refreshingly honest A-hole. I have to appreciate that a bit more than someone who believes that and hides their views.

On the other hand, I don't think he's being honest about caring about the status of blacks.
