In other words, it's OK for you to generalize, but nobody else.

As I said, when I find myself using a lot of generalizations I'll try to include examples of exceptions — which is why I mentioned the fact that many Christians support reproductive freedom.

I still don't see why I should be expected to give fundamentalist Christianists in the USA free reign to do whatever they wish because some crazed Islamist blows up a bus in East Fuckistan.

If someone continuously goes on and on about the ills of Christianity, I certainly do expect them to comment on the ills of other religions.

I have nothing good to say about Islam as a faith but I'm more concerned about the acts of zealots in the name of Islam. Twisted, resentful people are the problem, especially when they feel they are doing the will of some supernatural entity. I don't think I have been "continuously" going on about Christianity on this board. I've stated my opinions but I really don't care to debate religious beliefs anymore, although I will criticize evil acts inspired by religion.

And here, just so you know where I stand, Louis Farrakhan sucks.

In American history the KKK has engaged in acts of domestic terrorism, murder, and other evil acts of racism in the name of White nationalism and White Christianity. Pro-life anti-abortion activists have also engaged in acts of domestic terrorism and murder in the name of Christianity. Anti-gay activists have also engaged in acts of domestic terrorism and murder in the name of Christianity.

These are just some examples of Christianity being hijacked by evil people.
This can be defined as heresy

Even today, the Moral Majority/Christian Right still are engaged in acts of heresy. Especially leaders of the republican party and some high profile Christian pastors.

@Real Music,

The DNC were the Founding Fathers of the KKK movement, interesting how the left always seems to forget this piece of history.

According to your cite, "Sarsour wrote in the post on Thursday that Omar is 'being attacked for saying that she supports BDS (Boycott Divestment Sanctions) and the right for people to engage in constitutionally protected freedoms. This is not only coming from the right-wing but some folks who masquerade as progressives but always choose their allegiance to Israel over their commitment to democracy and free speech.'”

Cory Booker, who supports the anti-BDS bill isn't Jewish, he's a misguided Gentile liberal.

You don't need to give Christians a pass, you need to keep a reasonable perspective.

The DNC didnt exist til a century after the KKK was founded. As the Democrats became more liberal starting around FDR ZZa nd accelerating with LBJ segregationistls moved to the Republicans. Nixons Southern Strateg i y. Made it pretty overt. David Duke the most visible KKK leader of the 60s70s and 80s w as s a r ed publican. Baldimos knowledge of history seems to cut off after 1880.

@MontereyJack,

The Democrats are the DNC, don't try and separate the two like they are different entities with different aims and desires. DNC is the money machine, the democrats are the fools who power the machine.

As for US history, the Dems controlled the south until the 1990's and were indeed the party of racists. The only reason minorities started voting for the DNC is because of the welfare state that was created in the 1960's. The Dixiecrat myth is just that, a myth. The party who passed the Civil Rights Act in 64' was not the DNC, it was the GOP. The myth being that a bunch of racists Dems changed parties to the GOP after the GOP passed the laws is hysterical. The fact Robert KKK Byrd has so many things named after him in the south has got to be the biggest joke on minorities since they convinced them that statues in the south were because of the Civil War and had nothing to do with honoring the war and everything to do with the Reconstruction after the war. Leftists have done a fine job of turning the US on it's head with history lessons.

Is an empty suit. And what does free speech have to with anything? Sarsour has used her free speech to tell us she is a hater. I will use my free speech to let people know.

@Baldimo,

you seem to be tracking the GOP's own history as it is today.
As I recall from my HS PAD, the actual switcheroo of the Liberal GOP to "infest" the conservative Klannish Dems was actually in 1890's when William Jennings Bryan was selected to be the Dem nominee for president.. The identity may have reached full flower in the 1970's but it was a gradual tear down of the Dems "Reconstruction era " body to the era of Roosevelt , to Kennedy and Johnson, who supposedly said
said
"'I will fight the Equal Rights Amendment all the way till the day I sign it"
So, yyes indeed, the rest is sort of an encapsulation of where th party of Eisenhower went .

@Baldimo,

you seem to recall that the step that the Dixiecrats took wasnt a "one big leap", recall Strom Thurmond's role as presidential candidate of the STATE"S RIGHTS DEMOCRATS?
That was sorta like the Cub SCouts "evolving" into Explorers but frt assing through Boy SCouts

IS CANADA ABOUT TO SIGN A NATIONAL SUICIDE PACT?

I have posted about this. More details.

Canada might sign that. This is also not the usual non binding bullshit, countries that sign on have to do this.

Cory Booker is among those that Sarsour was referring to, "folks who masquerade as progressives." Free speech has to do with everything concerning BDS and those who look to squelch it through their oppressive anti-BDS bill in the name of their allegiance to Israel.

Ivanka Trump used a personal email account to send hundreds of messages discussing official White House business last year, officials confirm.

A review into her emails revealed she had used her private address to contact government officials.

Ms Trump sent the emails before she was briefed on the rules, her lawyer says.

In 2016, her father Donald Trump accused Hillary Clinton of putting the US "in danger" over her use of a private email while secretary of state.

On Monday, The Washington Post reported that while Ms Trump's emails contained mostly logistical and personal information, some may still have been in violation of federal records rules.

A Trump administration official told CBS News that Ms Trump's emails did not contain classified information, and what had occurred was basically a lack of understanding of the rules.

Ms Trump stopped using her personal address for government correspondence after she was informed that she should not be doing so, the official said.

However Austin Evers, from a group called American Oversight, which submitted the freedom of information request that led to the discovery of Ms Trump's use of personal email last year, said the "president's family is not above the law".

"There are serious questions that Congress should immediately investigate," Mr Evers said in a statement.

"Did Ivanka Trump turn over all of her emails for preservation as required by law? Was she sending classified information over a private system," he added.

During his presidential campaign in 2016, Donald Trump said that Mrs Clinton's use of a private server to send official emails while in her post as secretary of state in 2009 was a scandal "bigger than Watergate".

He repeatedly criticised her conduct, calling her actions "illegal" and a threat to the security of the US.

At the time of his campaign, Mr Trump frequently encouraged crowds at rallies to chant "lock her up" and vowed to imprison Mrs Clinton over the saga.

He also called on Russia to help locate some 30,000 emails that Mrs Clinton had not turned over to investigators after she, or her lawyers, determined it was unnecessary as they were personal messages.

Before becoming secretary of state, Mrs Clinton set up an email server at her home in Chappaqua, New York, that she used for all work and personal emails during her four years in office.

She did not use, or even activate, a state.gov email account, which would have been hosted on servers owned and managed by the US government.

She said it was for convenience.

Mrs Clinton maintains that most of her emails from her personal account went to, or were forwarded to, people with government accounts, so they were automatically archived.

An FBI investigation concluded that Mrs Clinton should not face charges, but said she and her aides had been "extremely careless" in their handling of classified information.

Mrs Clinton has been cleared twice by the FBI over her use of a private email server while secretary of state.

It is not illegal for White House officials to use personal email accounts for government business.

However, under the Presidential Records Act and Federal Records Act, government officials must forward any official correspondence to a work account within 20 days for preservation.

If this is not done reliably, the use of private accounts can put official records beyond the reach of journalists, lawmakers and others who seek publicly available information.

There are also rules against sharing classified or privileged information on personal email accounts.

Whey they clamor to make their interpretation of Christianity the basis of civil law — for instance, their assertion that freedom of religion allows them to discriminate against customers or interfere with employees' health care. Are you not aware that this remains a contentious issue?

I never supported those acts of terrorism; what do you want me to do, add a disclaimer at the end of every post?

Then I'll continue to post in my usual manner.

@MontereyJack,

Baldimo's got this thing where he uses "DNC" as a synonym of the Democratic Party of the USA. I suppose he thinks it's evil or un-American for a political party to have a formal governing body which coordinates strategy and raises money for campaigns. I don't know what the point of it is but, as with those cretins who consistently refer to the "Democrat Party" it sort of clues you in to where the guy's coming from — Democrats are bad news and are plotting to take your gunz! It's actually kind of amusing.

Last we heard, HRC had the DNC sign a rather binding legal document, basically guaranteeing her candidacy over all-comers.

We're still not sure how the flying **** she hasn't been crucified by the protectors of democracy in these woods.

Seems like rules don't really apply to some.

@hightor,

People refuse to refer to them as the Democratic Party because of the fact that they’ve proven to be hyperbolically undemocratic.

They use superdelegates to ensure the party overrides voters, and, of course, if that doesn’t do the trick, they use newspeople to manipulate the voting process and override the political process.

It’s a joke to call them the Democratic Party.
