Excellent meme. I just wish the left wasn't in such denial of their violent activity. The majority of the left cheered when Trump was shot and cheered when Kirk was killed. Over 60%.
I guess as long as they get their reporters are calling their violence "mostly peaceful" they can still feel morally superior. It would be a real shame if reality destroyed that superiority.
Oh boy.... Here we go again... Not today. I just don't feel like a long drawn out conversation with you today. Just know that everything the Democrats stands for today is in direct opposition to what our founding fathers left for us. If you truly understood freedom and liberty and how much we have lost starting before any of us were born, you wouldn't be a Democrat. We have must less freedom now than we did under King George.
"You can talk about Jesus in public schools as long as it's in the appropriate context like teaching about world history or religions."
A few years ago a kid got expelled from school in San Diego for the crime of just bringing his bible to school. The school lied to make their case by saying he was preaching. The kid said they just saw he had a bible and that was all they cared about.
There was a WWI monument some one placed on a dirt road out in the middle of nowhere in California. It was a cross. Somehow some Christian haters ended up on this old road and saw the cross, got their panties in a bind and reported it. The courts actually ruled in favor of the cross remaining but because it was now in the news vandals destroyed the cross.
"The ten commandments don't belong in court houses because they tell people to worship one god and the government can't tell people that"
Is there a problem with worshipping the one God? Does that offend you? Why do you think that would offend people of other faiths? I see writings from other faiths and I either agree or disagree but what I don't do is get my panties in a bind because someone believes in something different than I do. If people read the Ten Commandments and get offended then that becomes their problem, not the rest of this nation. We must never ever make laws based on how much a religion offends you.
Remember what I said about Islam and how some conservatives wants all Muslims out of the country. Yes it really does offend me that the Quran is a perpetual war document against all non-believers and it emphasizes that war be on the people of "the book". "The book" is the Bible and it means Jews and Christians. Then just to be clear it points out how every Jew on the planet must be killed. Not once but several times the Quran says that. It even says to kill the Jews even if you do not want to kill the Jews. It is less insistent on killing the Christians but modern Islam now places Jews at the top of their hit list and Christians in the no. 2 spot.
That type of religious writing does kind of offend me just a wee bit. However, the Quran is not on the atheist left's hit list. In fact leftists are siding with Hamas. They want to free Palestine (of every Jew living there). And the Ten Commandments are considered offensive???
Only the left makes it a passion to be offended. They especially enjoy being offended in behalf of other people, without their knowlege or need. This has to stop.
Did you know that at the time of the founding there were about 5 of the original 13 colonies who had a state religion?
Washington was absolutely correct in both what and why he said what he did. Teaching Christianity is public schools is not a problem.
What the problem is we have decided that morals are relative. We think that we cannot teach Christianity over other religions. But that was never the reason why Christianity was taught in schools. The reason was morality. The founding fathers were all very intelligent and smart men. This is perhaps the only time in the history of the world where we had this many very intelligent men assembled together in the formation of a nation. They had studied world history, religions and governments. They wanted to see what kind of a nation they could give us where all political power lies in the hands of the individuals. That mankind can live with the most freedom possible. They struggled over how this government should exist. Some even thought a king could provide this kind of liberty. Others thought we should have more than one president. What they finally agreed on was what we have now in the Constitution.
The one overwhelming thing that they had learned from everything that they studied that of all the moral teaching from around the world that Christianity (which would include Judaism) was the one that offered the most freedom to the individual and the best moral foundation.
There are only 2 principles that are essential for the prosperity of everyone and that is freedom and morals. Morals are a form of self-government. If the majority of the nation is a moral nation then there is a much less need for laws. Without so many laws the people are much freer.
It was both of those principles in place that we advanced civilization from the horse and buggy to visiting the moon. We advanced society and the world in 200 years what had been taking 5,000 years.
Since the left has eradicated Christianity everywhere we are beginning to lose or morals.
The left is responsible for the notion that morals are relative, which inadvertently elevated the morality of Hitler with that of Jesus. Atheists ask, "who's morals" as if Christian morals are worthless.
In fact is the stated goal of socialists to eradicate religion and turn that religious devotion to the state. They want the state to be your god. This is why socialism is atheistic. It is why atheism has been pushed so hard in the world.
"There are conservatives who openly say that Muslim shouldn't be allowed to move to this country or hold public office."
There's a few who think that but they aren't thinking about the 1st amendment. If there was some way to determine which Muslim immigrant was radicalized or not then I would probably be more like those conservatives you speak of.
I mean, really. Who wants people immigrating to this country for the purpose of killing everyone in this country. I don't care how far left you are, I don't think you would think that would be a good idea. But we have no way of knowing and the majority of Muslims just want to live in peace with everyone else. The flip side of that is because Islam is such a big religion then the percentage of those who want to kill everyone is about the same size as the population of the United States.
Fortunately the few Muslims that I have met and have gotten know a little bit seem like the kind you wouldn't mind having live next door to you.
"Nobody has turned the United States into a Christian free zone or Jewish free zone"
You don't understand that because it started happening before anyone of us was born. Did you know that Thomas Jefferson, when he was president, commissioned that non-denominational Christian church services be held in Congress for Congressmen who would have to travel to far to make to home for church on Sunday? When Lincoln was president there were 4 separate Sunday meetings in Congress. Jefferson also pulled out the moral teaching of Jesus into a compilation that he required all freshmen Congressmen to read. I bought a copy, a modern reprint, not an original of that book. He literally just did a cut and paste.
George Washington in his farewell address suggested that Christianity was indispensable with this nation.
Christianity was required teaching in all public schools up until about 1947.
This nation wasn't founded on Christianity but it was founded by very devout Christians and so much of our founding documents, including the Constitution and Declaration of Independence was inspired by the Bible.
The nation we have now is, for the most part, anti-Christian. We are not allowed to even talk about Jesus in public schools. We can't even have the Ten Commandments in court houses, even though that is the foundation of our legal system.
The movie industry is the worst. If there is a Christian (or Christian-like) character that character is always the bad guy.
