Posted April 23, 200519 yr I almost fell out of my seat when I read this. Btw for those of you who dont know, Barry Goldwater is considered the father of modern conservatism. However, on religious issues there can be little or no compromise. There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's behalf should be used sparingly. The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C,' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.' ? ? -- Sen. Barry Goldwater ?
April 23, 200519 yr I'm not suprised that a neo-lib would be suprised, and I'm not suprised that I'm not suprised :lol conservative != religious nut religious nut != conservative

I want to make sure those who defend DeLay and Frist and still call themselves conservative are aware of this. What better way to make them realize how much their party today has deviated from the founding principles right? How is this different from when you brought up FDR quotes to defend Bush on soc sec?
April 23, 200519 yr How is this different from when you brought up FDR quotes to defend Bush on soc sec? What quotes would those be and where might I find them? I've searched every post I've ever made - none are in threads regarding social security, and no posts mention social security even tangentially. Up your meds dude :lol

Tonyi's other favorite baseball team was the Angels. Under gender it said not telling. Miguel Cabrera was his favorite player. He spammed the bullpen forum. He posts in the same manner as you. The sig is the same manner as you. Your condesceding view on all the other posters is the same as Tonyi. Oh well, I guess there is no Tonyi. Only its Tonyi with a different name now. To prevent the stalkers from getting to you.

Like I said, just because I am homosexual in your fantasies for you doesn't make it true in real life. Sorry its just a rough fact of life. Don't worry though, maybe you'll find yourself a cute "housemate" soon enough.
April 25, 200519 yr Just because you might suck a c**k doesn't make you queer. Any prison cherry will tell you that.
