Some of us have the ability to read through the bias on these various sites.

Absolute comedy gold, as you seriously debate over Breitbart links. No bias in here whatsoever.[/quote]
Show me once, in the last year plus that I’ve linked from Brietbart…
You can’t, and this is utter tripe, just like your original post in this thread, but go ahead and make shit up, it’s sure to make you a valued poster around here.
[quote]Anyway, since not one of you can likely be bothered to click ANY link I provide, here’s a snippet from the Times article:
"The monument she refers to is a six-foot marble slab engraved with the Ten Commandments, controversially situated on the grounds of the Oklahoma State Capitol. In 2012, state representative Mike Ritze fronted $10,000 out of his own pocket to have the marker installed in the shadow of the capitolâ??s dome, prompting the ire of those who believed it flagrantly violated the separation of church and state. The American Civil Liberties Union sued the state of Oklahoma; the Satanic Temple fought fire with fire. If the Christians could chisel their credo onto public property, the argument went, why couldnâ??t they?
The state didnâ??t agree, and rejected the Satanic Templeâ??s petition to place Baphometâ??s statute on legislative property. The point is now moot, though: a month ago, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that the Ten Commandments monument violated the state constitution, a judgment that will probably stick in spite of an obstinate governor."[/quote]
Oh I even read the TP link, and the Slate map… (Haven’t gotten to the other articles yet). I’m seriously just looking for the outrage or reason to be upset in any way shape or form over any of the shit you’ve posted.
Some privately funded monuments and classes on creation? There are a bunch of monuments I could give two shits about, including every single one you’ve linked to argue about. And I’m sending my kids to catholic school, where they do actually teach creation, because it’s the best education in my area, and my state ranks pretty fucking high in country for education. So no, the fact they teach creation and theology isn’t an issue.
lmao at some of the bullshit you lefties get your tired little panties in a bunch over.
“ZOMG!!! They put carved stone in GRASS, near a BUILDING, a BUILDING!!! I Swear. I almost have to look at it too.”

Right, I thought we were going to get some serious examples of Christian’s pushing legislation that benefits them over others.

Well when your entire history in this thread is personal attack, other fallacy and talking points. And when challenged you link “think progress”… You’re in no position to be judgmental.
Because people want you to back up your claims they are now not worthy of your attention? Get the fuck out of here with that CupCake Generation bullshit.

I mean carved stone is the ultimate in preferential treatment for followers of a particular faith. I mean, it means that a Hindu won’t even get a fair trial or a Jew will be forced to work Saturdays.

Can you imagine the fallout if the local government had actually paid for the statue too??? We really dodged a bullet on that one…

Look at the link. It’s a report on facts.
Or, if you like:
You’ll love this one - Satanic monument in Detroit unveiled: Is it disrespectful? - CSMonitor.com
I do like how Breitbart articles fly with the greatest of ease in this thread, but one facts-based thinkprogress link (grabbed for convenience) is slaughtered on sight.[/quote]
So… Three links about a Satanic Statue being erected in Detroit, and protests from both sides is somehow a story about preferential treatment of Christians?
How on Earth is the obvious and blatant freedom to erect the statue, which is at worst an expensive troll and at best a representation of a religion NOT Christianity, without jackbooted thugs coming and ripping down the statue an example of anything you are talking about?
Because if you actually thought this through you’d see it’s an example of the opposite of what you said.
We live in a nation where we’re free to put up Satanic Statues, and free to celebrate them, and protest them.
The left’s response: “Boo Hoo, Christians get preferential treatment, because “their statues” are on state grass instead of private grass.”
lmao.

Who knew satanists could be so whiny? “Wah! Nobody likes my statue!” Some proud cult. Reduced to groveling.

So far your examples are…well…not really examples. if there are ALL DEEZ LAWZ to favor christians, please reference some real examples.
Not private property.
It’s like white privilege, easy liberal talking points that get referenced, but never cited.
I don’t have the luxury of unlimited free time to dink with this thread. Someone focused on the 10 commandments vs Satan thing - fair enough. My other points was ignored though.
Let’s look at government subsidized religious education. I’ll be back at some point in the next 24 hours.
Don’t get sidetracked with the charter and private schools, even if they do receive state funds. Lets keep the focus.
You know what frustrating about all this Trump stuff?
From a Fiscal standpoint, I can see some real change coming from a President Cruz with Ryan as the House Speaker. (The Senate is there for the GOP’s taking if sentiment in America stays the way it’s been).
Cruz certainly is “moving up”.
One other thing about Cruz. There was some thought that he may be maneuvering himself for the Vice President spot (under a Trump Presidency). However; over the past few days its as if he had heard enough and became critical of Trump.
What do you guys think?

No shit. The average voter gave us Obama.

The only question that remains is if total collapse is necessary to cleanse the pallet, or if a moderate shake up via soapbox and ballot box can do it. [/quote]
Water, canned goods, and ammunition my friend. If its Trump or Jeb vs Hilary or Sanders, stock up.

Worthwhile to bump this link, so that our resident enablers - especially those like Push, who “dare” others to read Limbaugh’s piece - can review and respond.
