Let's not again paint a broad stroke and blame all of such ill's on "Socialists". It's a bi-partisan problem, and fault lies on both sides.
It is, but that's not what I was talking about when I typed that. I re-read it, and I see due to it's proximity of my last post, why you construed that.I'm sorry, I thought this thread was about the Bay Area school banning the Delcaration of Independence.
my bad.
Agreed. Did I say that? If so, I was incorrect. But I don't think I did. I'll go back and read again. :?First of all, not all Christians are conservatives, not all Christian conservatives are aligned with the "right", and not all conservatives and "righties" are Christians. There's the broad brush.
TwistedCopper said:Well Mingez, The point of my post was to say it was a state issue, not a Fed issue. You said it was a bi-partisan thing and it is not. It is a liberal thing (note I didn't say Democrat ).
About the "Christian Right", You don't need to put Christian next to right when referring to right wingers. I used to be very much a republican and very much an agnostic.
mingez said:I just wanted to point out that it's not ONLY liberals that censor things.
mingez said:The use of "Christian Right" is very much akin to the rabid use of "Liberal" in negative connotations, a habit both you and I are sometimes accustomed to doing. But I got your point!

That wasn't so much aimed at you, but that topic is a peeve of mine. It is a very common reference. Not so sure that throwing Christian in there is anything other than a cheap shot at Christians. Sure, I do like to criticize liberals, and pull no punches when I do. If you want to criticize republicans, right wing-ers, neo-cons, or conservatives why is it that "Christian" is thrown in there? There are many Christian Democrats in this country, although the party is beating them off with a stick. It is inaccurate and well, I felt the need to vent.
mingez said:How can I be justified in being irritated at the over-use of the term "Liberal" as a negative, if I drop the term "Christian Right"? Right?

Hahahaha!! I think I'm gonna use that. Me thinks a new bumper sticker might be in the works. That's a good one. :lol:
