Of course, but the party doesn't seem to be very open to other religions and non religious people... A lot of people who aren't Evangelic don't like hearing the likes of Bush and Palin go on and on, how it's more their country than anybody else's... and other people in the party saying, the laws should be based on OUR religious tenants and morals
Ahem, laws ARE at least rooted in the moral tenants of Christianity, "Thou shalt not kill" etc...however, to attach a label to repubs without knowing for a certainty like you did here with me, ie: "Evangelical" is a huge mistake liberals often make, and get awfully upset when any sort of label is attached to them. I wonder if it is some sort of block they have going on to see that they themselves do it, or what?
The government isn't based on morals, it's based on freedom and individual rights laid out in the Constitution
It is based on limited government. Fore if you don't have that first, you don't have the individual freedoms, or rights other than what Uncle Sugar tells you that you can have.
I know most Muslims voted repub when Bush was running, but after the smear on Muslims and Barack Hussein Obama, and now all this Mosque bs (which btw they constitutionally have the right to build).. you can bet on losing their votes in the future
That is a pure dodge. You know most Muslims? man, your rolodex must be chock full. As for the Mosque, "BS" as you put it, in not being contested that they have the "right" to build it for the umpteenth time. But rather whether they should.
I don't think anything is going to change... I think both parties are going to engage in their typical bs... blame the other party. Both parities will continue to run up the debt and ignore the constitution, whilst accusing the other of trampling it... deficits will continue to rise. Ron Paul will never be elected, because neo cons are still in the republican party and you guys are blatantly blind to it. No offense, but most of TP'ers probably voted for Bush two times in a row, and said "he kept us safe" and probably thought the constitutional ban he promised for gay marriage sounded great at the time.
I see, so repubs are really just a bunch of war mongering, homophobes, and racists right? :roll: Man, when will you liberals learn that people arguing under the banner of the TP are fed up with BOTH "parties"? That although they may see repubs as a lesser of two evils as it were, that if that repub doesn't espouse constitutional values of less government, and less taxation, that they will be fought within the repub party.
TPers are not against a strong defense, or any of the enumerated powers laid out within the Constitution, but are tired of politicians treating the Constitution as if it were some quaint notion, laid out by men that had no idea of the future, and therefore think that they don't have to follow it properly.
The fact is dems don't think they are destroying anything. You do, but they don't.. and they think repubs are destroying everything. Everybody is going to vote the same.
I can only hope that you and other liberals continue to think that way.
Yes a lot of people are dependent on the government, but the republicans aren't doing anything legit about it- when they are just shouting that people on unemployment are lazy.. They really aren't lazy the economy is ****. Or when the Republicans think people on welfare and food stamps have the skills to ****ing actually get a job that will support their families when they are kicked off. They don't have skills, so they will come back for welfare as soon as they can.
The liberal 'war on poverty' is a huge failure, and has only served to foster generational dependency. And a guaranteed voting class for the demo's that keep promising more, but once in delivering little. Minority, and welfare (zero liability) voters have been duped by the libs for decades.
Local communities need to be restructured and the importance we place on federal government needs to be revised before anything really changes.. or nobody is going to be happy.
Are you actually arguing for a stronger Central Government? It hasn't worked, why would we continue to do that which has failed so miserably?
And you Evangelicals need to learn how to stop running other people's lives through the federal government.. worry about your own community. You're a MAJOR part of the problem.
Again with the labels eh? So I guess I can take from this that you are saying that those who want a smaller government footprint in our lives, and lower taxes should just shut up and sit down eh? But I know, you're not a liberal right?
