• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

hi joel; welcome to the forum
lots of great folks and plenty of assholes around this joint
a few subforums (such as the middle east) have unique added rules beyond those that apply to the general forum areas
moderation is quite consistent and objective. if you get dinged and ask why (via PM), they will explain it
stay around long enough and you will find out what makes this place truly unique



... and take no prisoners

And never argue about moderator actions anywhere on the board except for "Where's My Binky" (which is in The Basement) or else you will get dinged again.
 
Well I am probably everything opposite of you except the lefty part.

I don't believe in organized religion, particularly as it might apply to anthropomorphic ideations about an old bearded man who lives in the sky, I'm straight and I'm a capitalist, but the FDR variety.

But I'm sure we'll have fun arguing about stuff. :)

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but your fellow progressives, liberals and gays are going to demand you give up God if you want to hang with them around here.

Because forced charity isn't charity at all.

Without American values of liberty, you wouldn't have anything at all. BTW, please cite the law that requires people to stand for the Pledge or the anthem. I'll wait.

share the portion of my post which says there is a law requiring one to stand for the pledge or anthem

however, it does not surprise me that the national anthem controversy is news to you

What does that have to do with being a Christian or a progressive? Charity, forced or not forced...????

Nothing, it has to do with government power and the Constitution.

What point are you not doing a good job of trying to make here? How does government power and the Constitution, forced charity, actual charity, and being a progressive Christian relate to each other at all in the context of this discussion?
