If we are not a Christian country, then why do so many of our laws(Bill of Rights, Constitution)have Judeo-Christian roots? Our laws give people of all faiths(even atheism is a faith) the right to choose and worship as their faith decrees.
Ever look further into those "Judeo-Christian roots"...
they're all based of The Code of Hammurabi, which is Babylonian (btw, the folks we're screwing over for their oil are the descendants of the Babylonians)...

Nothing of the Judeo-Christian teachings are original to the Jews or the Christians...everything they taught they learned from earlier peoples.
You see, it's kinda like Christmas.

PS...Permafrost: you also made me realize that we don't always know the "details" in every story. However, I do have a problem when someone's cattle are being confiscated by the government because of turtles. Again though, it seems that is not the whole story. It still could have been worked out differently.
His cattle do not belong there, the Desert Tortoise does.
I have some rental properties, and occasionally have to evict a tenant, for various reasons. One had been living on a piece of my property for almost 7 years and all was fine, but, after a few years, he got strung out on meth and, in addition to almost always being late and/or short on his rent,he eventually just about burned down the neighborhood while trying to cook up a batch, and so I evicted him immediately. He refused to go, and it became a court matter...he explained to the judge that, because he'd been there so long, that I had no right to kick him out. Similar excuse from Bundy.
The judge didn't see things his way, and I understand he got the same judge some months later when he was tried for possession of quite a bit of "crank". Presumably, the judge remembered meeting him previously...

No, working with livestock daily, I'm quite familiar with bovine by-products, and those posts are quite full. :lol:
Now, since I've given you a civil answer, perhaps you'll be adult enough to return the favor...seeing as how the Repuplicans have been trying everything, no matter how silly, to get our legally-elected President out of the White House, why do
you think everything they've tried, thus far, has failed? ;-)
If he was really a "furrineer", how come the Braintrust of the GOP can't outsmart him? :-P
Think about it, son. :D

Glad you figured this out for yourself, assuming that you haven't thrown in with the Republicans, Tea Party (Republicanism at it's ugliest) or Libertarians (Republican Lite).

You need to wake up to what is happening in our country by two evil men. These men are anti-Christ. How can you be so blind as to what they are doing. When you wake up to what is really going on in this country it may be to late to do anything. Or are you one of the people in this country receiving all of the free stuff and don't want to see that end.
I assume you're addressing me (try using the "quote" tab in the future)...No, they are not the Ant-Christ, he lost in the 2012 e******n, actually :-P
And, no, while neither are saints, neither are they truly evil...somewhat corrupt, but there are very few in office who are not.
And, no, the Pavlovian response, taught to you by those who do your thinking for you, is not valid...everything I've ever had, or ever will, comes from my hard work. Never been on unemployment, never been on welfare, never will.

Thanks for proving my point about you and your kind. It's so much more effective when you demonstrate you lackings than when I merely point them out for others to see... :thumbup: :lol: 8-)

PS. And don't "Republican" me. I'm not one. I did what you should do: I left my party because it was rotten. You're too chicken to do the same with YOUR lousy, rotten, corrupt party.
Can't you guys think about ANYTHING except r****m?... (

You do yourself no favors by assuming that I belong to any political party...that's just the Pavlovian response taught to you and your kind by the people who do your thinking for you.

Your point, or what I perceive as your point on Medicare costs, might need some honest discussion, but your vitriolic bulls**t hyperbole indicates that you're probably too much of an extreme l*****t whacko to even try discussing anything.
In other words, you have no facts worth bringing up as a counter-argument...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And they still can't figure out why they lost in 2008 and 2012, and why 2016 and 2020 won't be good for the Republican party, either.

Pretty much my thinking, as well.
Wonder why so many Christians focus on how He died, but not how He lived?

There is no bad, unjust or unConstitutional laws involved in this matter. He screwed up, pushed his luck, and now cannot any longer.
And, yes, if I get a speeding ticket, I pay it. Haven't gotten one in about 30 years, though, as it's just not worth paying (last I checked) $105.50 just to get somewhere a few minutes faster.
