The Republican Nomination For President: The Race For The Race For The White House

You live in a wonderful state, rjb. I'm just glad I live on the west coast where the climate is moderate on guns, gays, and most laws.

As bad as Christians are, CI, how women were treated by Christianity is really no different than how they were treated by western countries/societies.

Right bright people, they are.

It turned out, JTT, to be an interesting debate. The proposed bill would allow people to hunt on Sundays if they did so during hunting season on private property if they had the landowner's written permission.
Proponents argued that, given the economy, many rural folks are at work six days a week and Sunday is the only day to hunt.
Opponents said that there was much anecdotal evidence of hunters straying onto private property without bothering to get permission.
In addition, the argument was made that Sunday was the only day of the week where hikers, bikers and kids could romp in the woods confident that they weren't going to get shot by a trigger happy hunter who mistook white mittens for the tail of a deer.
There is no evidence of that that I could find, by the way. Most injuries and deaths are the result of hunters accidentally shooting themselves or each other (about 10 a year).
Urban legislators passed on the issue, and it looks like the rural ones are coming out against the idea.
No one, to my knowledge, is arguing that the squirrels, rabbits and deer should be given a day off.

I think that it probably could be an interesting topic, RJB.

But here's one that blows this one out of the water, blows all these discussions about presidential elections and all the other crap right out of the water.

This one truly matters, it must matter to people who believe that they are honest, law abiding citizens.

It will only take 17 minutes out of your busy life. But it will be worth it.

Funny, they just debated the same issue in Pa this past year and reached petty much the same conclusion. The farmers lobby was every bit as strong as the gunners lobby and so the suburban bikers, hikers, and bird watchesr won out in a major letter writing campaign. Being a farmer , I too am really against Sunday hunting because Id have to limit my stocks usage of pastures nearest the woods (for their saftety) and Id be rearranging pastures during all the week. Hunting season is intense enough in our state to allow it all week for over 2 months duration.

In southern Illinois, where they get idiots from Chicago and St. Louis, they paint "COW" on the sides of their livestock with white wash in letters about two feet high. Which doesn't mean that cows don't get shot, but it lowers the casualty rate.

He's just trying to be popular with women the easy way. He forgets, conveniently, how badly men were treated.

Anybody who reads Shakespeare, or Boswell, or Sam Johnson or Rabelais or sees La Liberté guidant le peuple by Eugène Delacroix will know that women of the upper and middle classes ruled the roost. There was no specific discrimination against women. It was a class thing applying to men and to women. ci. has never read about Madame de Stael or Mrs Shandy or Mrs Thrales or Queen Elizabeth the First's court of ladies in waiting.

In the Dark Ages women ran rings around men.

ci. is a flat out misogynist of the worst sort. He patronises women so much it's enough to make an intelligent person cringe.

oh, I guess I didn't understand you the first time. So you think Christianity favors women? Maybe the way it is practiced today. But all one would have to do is read Paul's epistles to get another view.

This is an astounding statement which could be debated elsewhere, I don't really care to though.

But anyway we digress from the topic of the thread.

Does this mean Obama prefers Islamic Sharia law over Christianity?

what does this have to do with anything. Just slinging mud to see what sticks today?

I'll take that as a YES... Obama does prefer Islamic Sharia law over Christianity.

Are you a commie?

Some think Obama is a commie, but it's clear that he is a despot/Marxists.

I'll take that as a YES. H2OMan is a commie everyone.

Those of the left are often asked by the right why we do not read more writings by rightwingers. The answer is most right wing advocates seldom rise above fallacy.

Here is an erudite and eloquent view of how the republicans misuse Jesus from someone who has studied the Bible and theology and who has an informed and unbiased few of Christ:

Your statement won't make any difference to spendius who never knows what he is talking about.

A freedom loving, self reliant, patriotic, Anti-Obama, Conservative, Capitalist American commie...

Republicans really don't like Mitt Romney.

Did you hear the one about the city guy who went to the ranger station to turn in his deer tag to the ranger and let him examine his deer? It was a cow.
