Interesting Contrast

Trust me, after 7 years of doing so, I still feel a smidgen of discomfort walking up to the checkout counter with 3 cases. I just hate wasting that 10 minutes so it makes sense to stock up for a week or so than grab a pack every few days.

Do you drink to get drunk, or do you drink because you like the taste?

And how about giving the non-American members her a little break. Zep's a really cool guy. Take his jabs in the spirit they were intended - light hearted. He's not DC after all.

DC??

The idea that they want to live in a theocracy is a strawman.

The proponents of such monuments often claim that the US was founded on these principles and that the US is a Christian nation.

I'm an alcoholic. What do you think?

And yes, DC is a rabid dog with those who even offer the slightest disagreement with him. I'm suggesting you reserve the same (as I try to do) for the real jerks on the forum, not a decent guy sassing you a bit.

Really?

Hey man, some people put up a bulls*** facade for the Internet. I, while keeping some secrets, just don't see a need to do so. I say this with one ceveat... any late night posts by me (my at work time) are sober - judge them by content. Any posts in the morning after I've worked - judge them by B.A.C.

The idea that they want to live in a theocracy is a strawman.

George Bush the father: "Atheists? I have a problem with Atheists, they can be neither good americans nor patriots, this is one nation under god".

There you have it for at least one member of the Bush family, in cold hard text, expressed, formal support for the idea that we ARE a theocracy, none the less.

AND Richard Simmons. Don't forget him, or I'll need to bring him back.

Aaaiiieeeeeeee!
NO NO NO

The idea that they want to live in a theocracy is a strawman.

I wish that was true. But look at the facts: Judge Moore had a two ton monument installed in a public court room the middle of the night without asking anyone's permission. After the 11'th US Circuit Court and his own fellow Justices ruled that it should be removed, he defied their order and was eventually suspended for flouting the very laws he was pledged, as an officer of the court, to uphold. The reason he was willing put his legal career on the line for this piece of rock is that he (and other like minded people) believes that America should be a Christian nation with the Bible taking precedent over secular law and even the constitution. If that isn't theocracy, what is it?

It not a strawman, it's a fact. One that some of the more rightwing Christian fundamentalists freely admit to.
