I understand you're anti-religion and an anti-Christian bigot.

The government shouldn't be giving any tax dollars to any special interest groups.

Equal treatment for each religion and equal treatment between religious groups and secular groups is anti religion? I guess wanting equal rights for women was misogyny then.

I know you're an anti-Christian bigot. I made it very clear that government shouldn't be giving any tax dollars for any of these groups.

But you would probably have no problem with it if tax dollars were given to anti-Christian groups and radicals.

Ok, I guess the congregation at my Baptist church would be surprised at what kind of anti-Christian bigot I am, but whatever. But I see there is hope for you yet since you've at least made the distinction that no tax dollars should be spent on any special interest group.

Now have you taken my advice and had a sit down with your local church leader? I'm seriously concerned that you are missing out on the real meaning of Christ's teachings. The level of invective and bitterness that spills from your keyboard appears to imply that you are really far from actually embracing the Lord and are spending more time listening to the adversary.

I haven't exactly seen you defend Christianity. Where were you when my threads exposing the attacks on Christianity were being exposed? I haven't seen you call out the people attacking Christians and Christmas. But maybe I missed it.

I am a hawk on spending issues so I absolutley oppose any tax dollars being given to idiotic groups like acorn or any Churches/religious institutions.

I am only like this on the internet. There are so many idiots I have to deal with and so many people who want to violate liberty and the Constitution so they must be called out and criticized. There really is no point in engaging with them.

When I engage anti-Christian bigots/leftists in real life then I will debate them and refrain from using personal attacks. It is a much better way to debate and argue about the issues.

Do you think Jesus would approve of your behavior because it is confined to the internet?

There is no "attack" on Christianity and there is no war on Christmas in this country. Its made up bull shit to keep money flowing to crazy groups. You follow them like a sheep though bleating the same nonsense over and over. You have a persecution complex that has nothing to do with your faith.

Christians have issues in other countries. However I see those in a larger context as issues on religious freedom in general. You tend to go off the deep end and usually turn those threads into some anti-Islam rant. It gets old.

Also saying you act like an ass just because its on the internet is lame. From one of your earlier threads where you said you corrected someone who wished you Happy Holidays seems to imply you act just as poorly in the physical world.

Being anti-theocracy and being anti-religion are quite different things. This country cannot be ruled by or give special power to one religion or even to religion in general. It's one of the main points of the First Amendment. Why do you hate the Constitution so much? I've never seen anyone attack the First Amendment's establishment clause as much as you do.

Correct, the House has continued to create budgets, horribly partisan budgets that don't have a hope in hell of ever passing while the Senate has constant filibusters on anything and everything. Frankly, their budgets are more of the same fucking around - a Republican wishlist everyone knows will never, ever make it into actual law but your tax dollars go towards the creation of. Do you have a point with this observation?
Not one you are capable of comprehending, no.

Obama(D) budgets are DOA when they hit the Senate(D)
The Senate(D) can not craft a budget

It seems as if the House is the only section of government that is handling it's responsibilities.

While it may be a poor budget; it is a budget for the government that can be molded.
The Senate will not even propose a working budget

Neither may be workable; but at least on chamber has delivered.
Exactly, and well said.

I figured you idiots would have slunk away from this line by now.

First, budgets are nonbinding, meaning they are mostly useless.

Second, after the senate passed their budget they called for a conference with the house to reconcile the two so that congress as a whole could pass a budget. What happened? The Republicans refused. They never actually cared about passing a budget.

So basically, budgets are a waste of time, but if you think they aren't, the Republicans are the ones holding up its passage. You clowns will really swallow anything.
It's a damn shame our nation didn't have you around for the first two hundred years to explain to them how much time they were wasting on things like budgets.

The irony of this statement is that when the Democrats controlled the House there was productive legislation that went to the Senate only to be DoA...

Don't repeat the "but but the Democrat Party controlled the Senate for two years" lie... just don't.

lol @ "productive legislation". More like "codified stupidity".

That's not a lie, it's a correct factual statement.

I admit nothing but you will address me formally junior.

ACORN did nothing wrong and that was proven but its not enough for you people. I guess we all know those dark skinned people must have been up to something.


BTW - If hack is defined as backing up your statments with fact as opposed to foaming at the mouth rambling non-sequiturs, I'll accept that definition.

Yep, just ignore all those people that went to jail. They didn't do anything wrong.

I defend the Constitution. You're the leftist and you hate the Constitution.

You've spent several posts in this thread attacking the Constitution. I know that "you hate the Constitution!" is your favorite attack, but the only person in P&N I've seen regularly attack it is you. And that's because you don't even begin to understand it. You want a theocracy which is completely against the Constitution.

BTW, call me a leftist all you want I find it to be a compliment. If Hitler were to tell me I was a bad Nazi I would thank him for saying that too.

I never attacked the Constitution. I defend the Constitution. Many of your views and ideas are against the Constitution.

Irrelevant. Acron wrong doing is Acorn wrong doing.

So every company that has any employees do wrong should be forced out of business even if the company turns in those wrongdoing employees and cooperates? That seems more than a bit silly. How about we go after Wallstreet first. Since in Wallstreet's case the upper management was aware of, participated in, and covered up those employees wrongdoing.

Think about how utterly fucking stupid that statement is.

Let me give you a few examples;

A McDonald's employee spitting is a customers food. What would the corporate punishment be?

A retail employee stealing credit card info or making multiple cc imprints for nefarious uses. What should the company be charged with?

How about an employee who steals account information such as ss numbers and sells it to hackers? What's the company charge?

What about a UPS worker whole steals FedEx packages while delivering his packages? How should the company be charged then?

Yep, that's exactly what I meant when I mentioned Acorn people went to jail. Nice job on the translation.

The same mentality would suggest the IRS did no wrong then either. And I doubt you could spot stupid if it bit you in the ass.
