I'm now a temporary conservative.

I think I'll play "Temporary Liberal" tomorrow!

Conservative Craven has a point. After all, the Constitution does not specifically say we cannot pray in school or hang up the ten commandments in our courhouses. It is the liberals and their communist counterparts, infiltrating the fabric of society, fighting so hard to keep us from worshipping God in the old fashioned Christian ways. Nobody is forcing anybody to pray. We all have a right to keep silent as the decent in our society pray along with the voice coming in over the loudspeaker. We are a free society, and as such have every right to pray in public.

Oh come on fishin, play today. No liberal I know would postpone gratification and fun like that.

Come on, you must live a little to be liberal.

Well Lola, I would but... Someone might be offended.

Forget being offensive..........liberals bring offensive to a new level of fine art.

edgar - actually, I got in trouble for not taking the moment of prayer seriously in my public high school.

Craven-did you actually take offense? Or was that a mere liberal ploy, you know, if you havent anything intelligent to say... take offense.
It deflects away from the vapid non intellectually based opinions(at least for the moment). Try having some fACTS at your side. Like the constitution and the interpretation of the "separation...' by the USSC.

I refused to say the Pledge of Allegience for a week. In fifth grade. One day, I just felt silly, standing up with 29 other people, and reciting a mantra with my hand over my heart.

The first day, my teacher stared at me. The next day, a couple of other teachers came in and stared at me with her.

After a week of my odd exercise, I decided I didn't really have a reason to not say it--so I started saying it again. I think everybody goes through phases like that.

Anybody noticed our liberal to conservative ratio? Would the libs prefer no conservatives in the politics threads? I think I'm the only one left, and I don't go there that much. (No, there's at least one more, not counting Conservative Craven...)

ooh! oooh! This is fun! I'm considering being "Temporary white guy".

actually i would like to see some conservatives, i have a few questions i would like to ask.

I would not prefer there to be no conservatives on here in the political threads or otherwise. I just don't like the bashing - that's why I rarely go in there any more.

Go for it, snood.

I was hoping Timber had just gone on vacation or something... Can anyone account for his absence? Did he relinquish the Political board? Remember George OB1? What happened?

By the way, snood, you keep getting handsomer and handsomer!

Reallly?

In your role as devil's advocate, edgar, you seem to be standing on your little forked tail.

Nobody is forcing anybody not to pray, either, which would be religious prosecution, just for openers.

Freedom of religion, which is one of the things this nation was founded upon, also means, for those of us without a sanctioned Nebulous Cloud Being, freedom from religion.

So....anybody who wants to: go right ahead and pray yourself into a frenzy, a good safe distance away from me, and without the roof of any taxpayer-funded buildings over your head.

Don't force me or anyone else to endure your little psychological indoctrination ritual. And I won't force you to endure mine. Deal?

wish I could think of the words or feelings I have about this right now other than - this topic sucks!

PDiddie - what's yours? Just curious.

I thought it had been about a week. Hope all is well with him.

Husker - why?
