It's not surprising the contempt shown to both scripture and anyone who does not follow in lockstep to their groupthink by our usual suspects.

Is there a point to that statement other than to irritate some members here?

Hopefully they have me on Ignore as one promised.   My statement was based on yet another observation of how members react to a sole scripture posted to coincide with another member's comment.  The contempt is self-evident.  I was merely pointing it out.

When cornered/exposed...run to the Bible.

ROFL!   You. So. Funny. 

@INVAR @DCPatriot   AND ... nearly always the Old Testament.  Lot of good judgments there. Hahahaha

@SirLinksALot

The entire article is not there.  A link to the whole article has been posted here before. Will's reasoning makes sense.  I said on the other thread about this,  I would not be surprised to see the November election turn out in favor of Democrats due to the way the primary elections came out (millions more Democrats voting in the primaries), and due to events happening since then, as covered in Will's essay.  There is a lot of time between now and then, November, and Trump makes news every single day, which can move votes around.  September news will matter as that is when the general public begins to think about voting.  Minds are make up by the middle of October.

I see that pompous old fart is finally coming out of the closet as the Globalist POS he has always been.

September is the "I will not sign another spending bill like this" month.

Further proof that there's no such thing as an "atheist conservative".

@dfwgator

Pardon me??????

I am an agnostic instead of any atheist because I don't make a religion out of my lack of belief in mythical characters,but I still take offense at the implication.

George is becoming a little pinhead of a man, throwing temper tantrums hidden behind flower words, and flying off the rails in fits of pique.



@Free Vulcan

"BECOMING"????? He has always been a pompous pinhead. A wannabe Bill Buckley,but with no convictions other than the conviction he is smarter than all the other little boys because his mama told him so.

People who insist on voting for Democrats to teach the Republicans a lesson do so when they forget what Democrats are actually capable of doing when they're in power.

@jmyrlefuller

No,they ARE Dims. They just registered as Republicans because all the Dim slots were taken and they wanted jobs.

Back in the day, you had to have a thesaurus in reach whenever you read his column.

Pompous is too kind to describe him.

"MY" commie Pope? I don't think so.

BTW,all Popes are commies. They all dream of ruling the world with an iron fist if they ever gain control again.

Exactly... Using a ten dollar word in place of a 2 dollar one is not a sign of intelligence.  It is a sign of something tho.

It might be a sign you can use your tongue prettier than a twenty-dollar whore.
