I really don't get the hate for Cardin. He's just a fairly harmless, mainstream, forgettable, old Democratic Senator to me.

He is the main sponsor of one of the worst pieces of legislation written in US History.

And that would be?

S.B. 720, Israel Anti-Boycott Act.

Pretty sure the fugitive slave laws were worse.

Why do Democrats love sacrificing House and Senate seats for the “Moral high ground”, when all it accomplishes is electing Religous Right Republicans that are Anti-Abortion and believe that any women who isn’t a dutiful, White, Christian, housewife, should be in prison.

Because it's the right thing to do morally.

Yeah for every 1 voter that there story flips, or inspires to vote R, there will be at least 2-3 people voting on the basis of Trump/healthcare etc.

LMAO dude. I do think there will be a democratic wave in 2018, but this sort of thinking did not pan out well in 2018...

The silly thing is the notion that evangelicals are anything resembling a homogeneous group.

A group that includes both me and Mike Pence and a hell of a lot in between is obviously one where broad brush generalizations are almost always going to be nonsensical.

I don't think people here realize the strength of Petit. This is a guy who defeated a nearly 20 year democratic incumbent, who won by almost 20 points in 2014. Not only did he beat her, he swamped her by over 20 points in a presidential election year.


That said, he won't run.

Oh they do, they're just having crazy cognitive dissonance because this, in their minds, is supposed to be a blanket blue year without any regard for individual candiates. Then again, every year is going to be a blue year if Atlas is to be believed.

Democrats picked up a month ago in Connecticut a seat that was Republican since Watergate.
The president's party hasn't picked up in the midterms an open seat that he lost in the previous election since 1990.
But yeah, keep dreaming that everything is fine.

On a serious note (meaning I'm not playing Tankie at the moment), reading through this thread really shows that movement conservative-types are just as empathy-deficient and fundamentally bad as white nationalists/the "alt-right", even if they hide under the veil of Respectability.

It's easy to grow big numbers and brag about it when you:

Taggart is not joining the race. Seems like Hyde-Smith is successfully consolidating the establishment Republicans behind her.

Just like Luther Strange.

I cut myself on the edge from that last post Hillgoose

i'm not trying to be edgy.

if they think it's fair for their Christianity to be critiqued, then they shouldn't go crying that they're being disrespected and trying to get people banned unless they're prepared to accept those same "protections" for Islamics, Scientologists, Satanists, and every other faith.


I agree with that but Im just saying

that's pretty corny and edgy

To "critique" Christianity is fine.  Christianity isn't something that can't be examined and critiqued.  Nor are the inconsistencies of Christians in the public eye not fair game for examination and critique.

"White Evangelicals are trash."
  That statement isn't a "critique".  It's the unapologetic sentiment of a sizable minority here, however.  Since the folks who share that sentiment are extremely comfortable with calling those they disagree with "Nazis", "Sexists", "White Supremacists", "alt-right", "homophobes", "Fascists" with no real factual basis for doing so, I think it proper that all of this come out in the open.  Let the readers decide for themselves on the content of the posts and the ethos of the posters.  But let's dispel this fiction that the (mostly) leftist sort that post this sort of thing aren't "hateful".

I love how that news headline uses the word “retaliate” since retaliation implies we’d be responding to an attack upon us, which never happened in this situation.

B-but I thought 2016 meant that Ohio would become a solid Republican state?

Ohio will soon be thought of, once again, as a big state with several major metros and major colleges instead of an apocalyptic, WWC wonderland of abandoned factories because of how it votes!  It will truly be something to behold.

HP. Abolitionism is a good cause but murdering people isn't.

The questions you need to ask, is killing defenders of slavery worse than slavery itself, and was it possible or likely to abolish slavery without violence? I contend the answers are no and no.

I am inclined to say "yes". If creationism is true, how can evolution be considered?

Nobody reads the Bible more literally than an atheist. Smiley

Might I remind everyone on this forum that there is no evidence that Bashar al-Assad authorized the use of chemical weapons against his own people. Besides, what would he gain from that kind of action?

No Trump supporter has any right to extend any sympathy to her or her family after the crap your current leader (who you’ll dump as soon as it’s convenient, just like you did with Dubya) threw at the Bush family.


The Bush’s are saints compared to Trump and his family. They’re saints compared to you and everyone else who still supports this man.

Pretty sure the hundreds of thousands dead across the Middle East as a direct or indirect consequence of George W. Bush's wars would disagree...
