Fred Thompson on the Issues

[PistolPackin'Papa]

I've only been around 59 years, and that does not make me any smarter than anyone else, but I've seen a few things maybe some of you haven't

My 2c:
The libertarian party is divided between those who are true Constitutionalist, and those who are just rebelling against God, Family, and tradition. (No matter how you perceive Him.) I call the latter anarchist, or at best Republicians with no morals. That is why it will never go anywhere.

It is a shame that Ron Paul does not have a Ronald Reagan body and personality, but he does not. "THEREFORE" You are going to have to back the next best thing. I don't like that either, but it is better than Hillary.

We need a Thompson / Tancredo all rolled into one, with Newt as the VP. but that ain't happenin'.

Those of you that bash "triditional family values" had best look at our founding fathers. Even those of them who didn't believe in anything, still had Christian ethics. Not always expressed in the best of ways, (slavery) but still a whole lot more productive that what we are seeing today.

Thanks for the vent. Keep your powder dry!

So what are Christian ethics? Becuase all religions generally have the same ethics.

Sorry but Thompson is a Christofascist and we do not need one of them leading the country.

I did not bash the traditional family values, I just asked for a definition of them? When was the last time we had them? Etc.

Tecumseh,
Me thinks thou doth protest too much. My statements were not desined to put anyone on the defensive. No matter what you belief system might be, that is entirely your business, you must admit that this is not the morality of yesteryear. (murders, rapes, robberies, etc.etc,etc,)

I think I might be done mocking the Ron Paul/libertarian contingent.

Tecumseh is doing a fine job without me, I don't even have to say anything and he is doing my work for me.

Okay, that is one of the single stupidest posts I've ever read on the internet.

Christofascist?

 

[Autolycus]

A Christofascist is basically someone who would force their religous views on us. They let their religious beliefs guide their political motivations and they create and enforce laws based upon these religious beliefs. An example would be the fact that Christmas is a federal holiday while Jewish, Muslim, and Hindu holidays (in addition to numerous other religions) are completely igrnored. Or the laws restricting abortion. The fact that gay marriage is not legal supports this argument as there is no reason gays should not be allowed to get married.

PistolPackin'Papa: I was addressing someone else who used the words "traditional family values". Either way I just want a definition of those values. That is all.

Debate your "insert religion here" ethics elsewhere. If you felt the need to insinuate religion, contrary to the Forum Rules helpfully posted at the top right of the screen, consider yourself warned.

There are idiots and evil-doers claiming every creed, just as the inverse must also be true. I suggest some of you step back from your computers and actually think before you post.
