Yes only conservatives can be true Christians and say the word “God.” What insightful analysis.

Hey Mediate, why have you closed/deleted/not allowed comments on the “AGHAST! Gretchen Carlson Accuses Obama Of…Wearing “Fancy Pants”!?” post? What’s the issue?

I would like to know the “Fancy Pants” issue as well.

As to the Pelosi matter, the Douchey’s and the Gretch’s sanctimony really is off-putting. I suspect that they may not be the Super Christians they suggest, either, since the “Word” is commonly understand as the God’s revelation. I happen to know Speaker Pelosi is an observant Roman Catholic in good-standing. For these sanctimonious twits to suggest otherwise is a sin of great magnitude.

I’m uncomfortable with politicians of either said telling me they make decisions based on their god. They need to be making decision based on the US Constitution.

Hey that was an accident in the posting (a stray mouse click hit the wrong button). You can now feel free to discuss how glorious my prose is at your leisure (or, y’know, take a different stance on it).

I understand what you are saying, and there is no doubt that there is an element of pandering here we see with politicians of all stripes. However, for a truly faithful person, I’m not sure it is ever possible to step out of his or her faith, even for pure analytical purposes. My faith informs me what it means to be a creature of God and how I ought to treat my fellow creatures. That no doubt informs my understanding of much of the Constitution. And, there is no obvious conflict. The conflicts present the easy situations. So, if I am asked to be a juror, and I find that someone has committed a crime for which one might be executed, I find that person not guilty because my faith tells me to killing is wrong. In other words, in any obvious conflict, I go with my faith. The less obvious ones trip us up and require great vigilance.

Everyone should be uncomfortable with any politician who claims to make decisions based on their god, or who professes to somehow be more holy and righteous than the other person.

That is sooo true. Libs hate God. They can’t even say the ‘word.”

I’m a liberal and I have no problem saying God….

“God, you’re a stupid c***, Gretchen.”

See?

Sure they can . But only during an election year !

That’s like saying conservatives hate anyone who isn’t rich. I know plenty of liberals who don’t hate god.

Yeah, but you left off the “damn” part you always use after the word God.

This is almost as dumb as last night, when O’Reilly questioned the Gay McDonalds ad and asked Jane Skinner “Do they have an al Qaeda ad..?

The hits keep comin’ from these dipsh*ts.

I use God references time to time. Not because I know for sure he exists or because I follow some magic book, but because there are certain expressions that I have grown up using that incorporate the reference, and not just swear words.

The money line from TRRK “I happen to know Speaker Pelosi is an observant Roman Catholic in good-standing.”

Except of course when she takes time away from her devout Catholicism to steadfastly promote the crushing of babies skulls with a forceps.

Other than that, she’s a real faithful follower, now isn’t she?

Speaking of religious references, I am comfortable saying “bless you” when someone sneezes although I see particular reason for using those words. I find the Spanish usage of the word “salud” which means health in English more sensible.

Michelle, do you follow the custom of “bless you” when it comes to people sneezing?

Why do the GODLESS LIBS hate King Jesus so much?!!!11

Must be hard for Pelosi to be the only pro-choice Catholic in America.

THAT”S GOLD karl !!!!!!!!!!!!!2!!!!! GOLD !!!!!!!!!!2!!!!!2!~!

Really?

She got bitch slapped by the Pope himself after she said the church didn’t have a position on abortion.

Pelosi responded by sidestepping the question, appealing to her Catholic faith as the source of her uncertainty.

“I would say that as an ardent, practicing Catholic, this is an issue that I have studied for a long time,” she said. “And what I know is, over the centuries, the doctors of the church have not been able to make that definition (of when life begins). And Senator – St. Augustine said at three months. We don’t know.”

Says the Pope:

“After Pope Benedict XVI met privately with Speaker Pelosi in February 2009, the Vatican issued a statement saying: “His Holiness took the opportunity to speak of the requirements of the natural moral law and the Church’s consistent teaching on the dignity of human life from conception to natural death which enjoin all Catholics, and especially legislators, jurists and those responsible for the common good of society, to work in co-operation with all men and women of good will in creating a just system of laws capable of protecting human life at all stages of its development.”

Tim, is somebody a still considered a devout Catholic in your eyes if they cheat on the their spouses?

Pope Benedict is not exactly a beacon of credibility right now, and obviously Pelosi’s beliefs conflict with the Vatican’s teachings.

Or if they allow boys to be raped?

” My faith informs me what it means to be a creature of God and how I ought to treat my fellow creatures.”

You mean like calling them toothless hillbillies, King?

Benedict is not the one who created the church’s position on abortion.

Indeed he is not.

Did I ever use the phrase “toothless hillbillies,” Righter. It seems a rather unclever formulation by me. Moreover, I generally speak of Alabama, although from time-to-time West Virginia, and I don’t think I consider Crackers and Hillbillies the same.

Way to generalize a gigantic section of the American public, Gretchen.

She is right, libby. Aren’t you the ahole who said America didn’t experience a Civil War?

You are still an idiot.

Nancy Pelosi-Media Genius

King, when you speak of Alabama or West Virginia, you’re aware that large numbers of minorities live in those states. Always be careful to specify that you only mean to insult and stereotype the white people living there. Otherwise, someone might mistake you for a bigot.

Good thing she didn’t take any of her grandsons huh?

There are many, many pro-choice Catholics, here and around the world.

59,000 Catholic nuns stopped rapping schoolkids’ knuckles with rulers long enough to support health care reform.

JohnSimpleton: Did you swipe those unattributed right-wing talking points yourself, or did someone swipe them for you?

So, so true. Praise Geesussah!!!

I truly worry about the more conservative among us. Judging by what passes as
analysis on Fox and Friends. Hannity and Beck, they seem to have either all
gone insane or regressed back to a third grade mentality. Are there any sane
conservatives left?
