So the reich wingers are all inflamed at Hillary's twee that people shouldn't be shot just b/c of the color of their skin, but?
have no problem with Joe Walsh saying:
"This is now war. Watch out Obama. Watch out black lives matter punks. Real America is coming for you." ?
What exactly is wrong with what Hillary said? Why isn't EVERYONE saying the same thing? Why is it Obama's fault that racist cops have been murdering black people? Why is that being condoned? The BLM movement would not even exist if the cops who executed black citizens without due process, without just cause, were held accountable for their actions.
You know damn well that if a black cop shot a 12 year old holding a toy pistol, he would have not gotten off scott free (see Tamir Rice/Cleveland if you don't remember).
These people waive around the Constitution, but only when it applies to the rights of white people.
Cops should not be killed by civilians, but the police need more training and fewer racists on the force. Everyone needs to acknowledge that!
6 AnswersPolitics5 years agoIsn't it amusing how the GOP sheeple are all butt hurt about the emails, emails, emails?
But when you ask them about the LIES knowingly told by Bush & Cheney, the lives lost in Iraq, the seeds of ISIS sown in the power vacuum they created, the billions in war profits made my Haliburton, their leaving TWO wars UNFUNDED, their tanking our economy, then they all just plug their ears & "lalalala". LOL What a joke. Now they want an orange megalomaniac to utterly destroy our country? Oh yeah, our best years were under Bill Clinton, and our WORST years under Bush, but sure, Hillary is the problem. LMAO.
5 AnswersPolitics5 years agoAre so-called Christian haters any better than Muslim haters?
Preachers are claiming what happened in Orlando was god's will?
This guy praises the Muslim killer: http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2016/06/13/sacramen...
Here's another nutjob:

Why aren't Christians speaking out against these haters? Religious hypocrites -- all about the hate.
1 AnswerReligion & Spirituality5 years agoRepublican governors -- proving how much they hate the environment & their people?
Gov. Rick Snyder poisoned the children of Flint, MIchigan with lead in their water, with the help of the evil Koch Brothers. Gov. Scott Walker, allowed the Koch Bros. to dump tons of toxic waste into the St. Johns RIver in Florida. Any chance either of them will see jail time?
8 AnswersPolitics5 years agoDoes any one else think it is hysterical how the right wingers accuse "liberals" of hating?
Liberals want to provide shelter to the desperate refugees, while the cons don't care what happens to them. Liberals want to give legal equality to gays, women and minorities, while cons want them to be treated like sub-humans. It it a classic case of psychological projection? Or just classic irony?
7 AnswersPolitics5 years agoDoes anyone else think it is funny that "regressives" think calling someone a "progressive" is some kind of insult?
Why is it better to be moving backward? What is so bad about wanting progress in the world? Why do regressives prefer clinging to old fashioned bigotry, rather than accepting the fact that all human beings are entitled to be treated fairly and with equal regard under the law? Haven't we been moving toward that end over the last 2000 years? Why do they prefer to live in the ignorance of the past? And if the past is so great, why are they on their computers?
12 AnswersPolitics5 years agoRemember Bush's infamous "Mission Accomplished" speech? What was "the mission" again?
Was it to make Haliburton billions in oil profits? Done.
Was it to send the US economy into trillions of dollars of debt? Done.
Was it to turn the Iraq region over to ISIS? Done.
What exactly was "accomplished" in May of 2003 when our then president George W. Bush landed on the flight deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, 30 miles off the coast of California, in an expensive publicity stunt? Just to get him re-elected? Done.
It most certainly did NOT end the fighting. But wasn't that what he claimed?
14 AnswersPolitics5 years agoWhy does the small minority of evolution denying cults act like only atheists accept evolution?
Are they truly unaware that the majority of theists accept evolution?
Do they think that denying all the evidence that supports evolution, makes it somehow disappear?
Do they think that their failure to understand the evidence, somehow invalidates it?
Why are they so afraid of knowledge, and so fearful of this topic, that that they have to delete questions like this one?
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years agoWhy do some Christians fail to understand that marriage is a LEGAL contract?
A marriage in an Elvis chapel is legal. A marriage by a Ship's Captain is legal. A marriage by any authorized magistrate is legal. A Buddhist, Hindu, Shinto, or any other religious marriage ceremony is legal.
This LEGAL contract comes with automatic benefits, rights and protections.
So if they want their religious ceremonies to be ONLY religious ceremonies, then we should take AWAY all the LEGAL rights, benefits and protections that come automatically with a marriage certificate.
Anyone up for that?
Denying those SAME benefits to gay couples (consenting ADULT U.S. citizens) is just flat out discriminatory and anti-American. Why don't they get that very simple point?
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years agoWhat do you think about Georgia executing Kelly Ginsendanner last night?
Was it just another example of Republicans hating women? (Since the guy who actually did stab her husband is serving a life sentence. She wasn't even there.) Is it just a case of Southern Baptists spitting on the catholic pope (since he made a plea for mercy on her behalf, but the Georgia Parole Board ignored him). Thoughts?
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years agoDoes anyone else find it ironic how the conservatives throw around the term socialist (without knowing what it even means)?
yet seem to be clueless about how their theocratic views are so fascist? They rile against the US having socialized medicine, but they want to embrace bronze age jurisdiction over the legal status of consenting adults, who are US citizens and entitled to the same legal rights, benefits and protections as all other citizens, no matter their biological status or theological beliefs. They spew vitriolic nonsense against Obama for being Muslim, but THEY are the ones who want to turn the US into Iran. Is it funny, or are they dangerous?
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years agoYEC's claim we're not made of "non-living chemicals." So, what do they think carbon, calcium, iron, etc. are? Living chemicals?
They claim all living things were made from dirt, and a man was made like a mud pie, but what is in dirt, mud, clay, dust, etc. if not non-living chemicals? So in addition to being ignorant about biology, they have no idea what organic chemistry is all about either? What about physics? Do they think atoms, molecules, elements, are "alive"?
They honestly don't see how banal their claims are?
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years agoDo YECs realize they are telling the world that their god is inept?
Human beings have been able to turn grass into corn and wolves into chihuahaus by using artificial selection, in a few thousand years. So their claim that their god could not have turned primates into humans using natural selection over millions of years, shows how superior humans are to their version of god.
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years agoAre fundamentalist and fringe cult preachers also scientists?
Apparently not, since the ones who most often get quoted here are invariably wrong. Does having a diploma in theology from a correspondence school (like Kent Hovind) qualify a person to testify as if they are experts in matters of biology, geology, astronomy, physics or chemistry?
Isn’t presenting yourself as a qualified expert - like they do -- while in fact they have no such expertise (or any knowledge whatsoever on the subject) a form of lying?
Aren’t Christians taught not to lie? So then why do preachers pretend to be experts on scientific matters, when it is painfully obvious to anyone with a half-way decent education on the subject that they have no idea what they are talking about?
The totally banal statements made here on subjects like evolution, or cosmology make even educated theists cringe.
4 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years agoDo YECs really think their god making a man like a little mud pie & making a woman out of his rib is a credible alternative to evolution?
Even as a myth, it lacks verisimilitude.
Why do they rant against evolution, when they have no evidence at all that their myth is real? Trying to disprove evolution doesn't help their case. In fact, it just makes ALL their beliefs look absurd.
10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years agoDo Christians think what the Brit's did to Alan Turing was just? He was a WWII hero forced to choose between chemical castration, or jail.?
Gays no longer feel they should have to hide who they are, but today's Christians seem just as eager to force them back "into the closet," or even worse, as evidenced by the rally to discriminate against them here & execute them in Africa demonstrates. How is such hate-filled bigotry justified by a "loving, just" god?
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality6 years agoAre the people opposed to gay marriage any different from those who believed African-Americans were only 3/5's human?
They want to deny legal equality to gay couples, just like white Americans wanted to deny equal rights to African-Americans.
Marriage is a legal contract that automatically provides countless benefits, rights & protections to straight couples, even those married in Elvis chapels or Buddhist monks. Yet they claim gay couples are not entitled to those same legal rights, benefits & protections. How is their bigotry any different from the KKK using scripture to justify their hatred of blacks?
