You know, where christians were being "persecuted" because some clerk wished them a "Happy Holiday" instead of a "Merry Christmas"? Well, it's still going on out here. Just today there was another letter (two so far) about how the local college had no right to take down a christmas tree to accomidate a student of anohter faith. How dare they go against the will of the majority! Then this bitch had the gall to talk about the "tolerance" of christians towards non-believers. And then went on to say that if you don't like their "tolerance" then you can leave the area and find somewhere else to live!

Funny, I don't remember any talk of "tolerance" when the vote for gay marriage came up a few years back. I remember a lot of bullshit about how it was threat to straight marriages and an affront to God, not much tolerance though. What exactly do these people consider "tolerance"? I guess because they withhold their desire to strap all gays to fence posts and flog them to death we should all be so proud and call it tolerance?

I'll be counting the number of letters talking about the "persecution" of christians in this "Holiday" season and comparing it to the number of letters these "tolerant" christians write demanding "The Golden Compass" be pulled out of theaters.

I don't see anybody asking Hillary Clinton, or Barack Obama, or John Edwards how much of the bible they think is the literal truth and whether or not you can have a contradictory position from it. Yes, many of the democratic candidates are religious but nobody in our camp is expecting them to evoke God on every stop and use him as a basis to justify or write policy once they get in. This is the REAL difference between democrats and republicans, when the constitution says there should be no religious test for office, we actually believe it.

I've seen bits and pieces of the "Left Behind" series in various publications and based on what I've seen, it reads more like a republican revenge fantasy then an attempt at explaining the book of revelation (and a very poorly written one at that). God decries evolution, enviromentalism, homosexuality, and any number of "now" issues. Future generations who read this long after many of these disputes have been settled (and I'm sure it won't be on the side LaHay and those who share his views would like) may not understand why this stuff is even in there. One half expects to find a line where Jesus says: "Lo, and let those who do not support making the tax cuts permenant be cast into the lake of fire for all eternity!"

I don't doubt this series is meant to be more a republican recruitment poster then a christian one. It seems like LaHay understands that the facts are not on his side and is so bitter about it that he is saying: "Oh yeah, reality? Well, when my big brother Jesus shows up, he's gonna kick your ass!" like a young child who got pushed in the dirt by the bigger kids. His big brother, if he exists at all, may not care what his situation is and may find his high and mighty attitude to the other children rather annoying and thinks he got what he deserves.

After looking at some of the stuff he has said about Israel and it's role in the end times, I can't help but wonder what these trolls who post on here accusing us of anti-semitism all of the time really believe. Do they buy the "Left Behind" view? If so, then wouldn't that make them more anti-semitic then what their accusing us of?

He'll speak Jesus to get in the door and then leave poor people out in the cold like every republican. "Compassionate Conservatism" was never a real movement, it doesn't even have a definition, it was in 2000 and still is just a catch phrase. He'll get the nomination, rail about the evils of gays wanting equal rights (while insisting he doesn't hate them), talk about how abortions must be stopped and how something should be done for the child after it is born and then do nothing except try and get it outlawed while in office while ignoring the other part, and generally get in the way of science in the classroom just because it doesn't push Jesus on kids. All while cutting taxes for the rich and making the rest of us pick up the tab. In other words, he'll be just another republican.

Because Alan Keyes little performance would have proven to the country once and for all just how badly the republicans want to turn America into a theocracy. I imagine he speaks for more of their base then the party big wigs would like the general populace to realize. If word ever got out, we might have a lot more then just 50% turning out at the polls, and not in the GOPs favor.

Of course Huckabee isn't afraid of Romney, all he has to do is put out fliers a week before the primary or caucus or whatever it is they have in Iowa and remind people that MORMON=CULT. Nothing Romney says would matter at that point.

shows their true colors yet again. Too bad nobody ever pays attention.
