Ryan not good enough for head Freep.

There's a load of trouble over there with JimRob taking the site even further to an American Taliban clearing house. He's taking heat from resigning mods for not stopping anti-Morman posters. He's not budging on his disdain for Romney, and though he at least tolerates Ryan, it's not enough to sway his support. All this in the middle of a fundraiser. Good luck asshole

I'm not going to give the link. Anyone who wants can find it easily enough.

Ryan is a good man, but does not redeem the abortionist/homosexualist statist Romney
Aug 11, 2012 | Jim Robinson


Except for his unfortunate go along to get along support of TARP, bailouts, stimulus spending and the increased credit limit, etc, Ryan is a pretty good choice. Probably the best choice of the RINOS that were on Romney's short list. I support Ryan for the vice presidency. Wish he were at the top of the ticket, though.

But I still cannot and will not support the grand father of ObamaCare. Romney still loves and brags about his bastard brainchild, RomneyCare, even today when he knows what an anti-liberty socialist POS it is.

And the fact that he advocated that abortion should be safe and legal in America for over three decades of his adult lifetime and even advocated that Roe v Wade should be supported and sustained as settled law precludes any consideration whatsoever by this pro-life Christian for Myth Romney for the presidency.

And the fact that he boasted that he would be better for "gay rights" than Ted Kennedy, and proved it just increases my resistance.

That, and his penchant for gun control, his continuing support for global warming, gays in the scouts, gays in the military, and his record of appointing liberal judges makes it all but impossible for me to support him.

Lastly, we're having a bit of changeover on our moderator staff. At least two moderators resigned this afternoon after I flatly refused to rein in a so-called anti-Mormon "bigot" on FR. Well, if being in opposition to false prophets and false prophecy makes a Christian believer a bigot, then I guess I'm a bigot. I've posted before that I flat do not believe that the Book of Mormon is the true word of God. Nor do I believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. The Christian bible warns us to be weary of false prophets and that I am. Romney being the presumptive Republican nominee does not change that fact.



JimRob won't be happy until Jesus returns, grabs an AK47 and starts shooting the people who won't pay for healthcare or dare to collect foodstamps. Then he'll consider giving his support.

church teaching. It's not being selfish either. It's loving your neighbor and helping the poor.

Since there will be no more tears or sickness there, they have to be extermintated. The GOP doesn't want to leave anything messy for the New Heaven & Earth. I know that sounds perverted and unfair, but what's going on now is too. They figure the world will be better off without a lot of people they don't like. They have a long list of human faillures, of which they don't count themselves, but most of us are on it now.

Mark as that boy. But the fundies certainly wax heavy on this stuff and it sounds like Mr. Freep is one of those or at least pretends to be. Apparently, not all the inmates at the asylum there agree, he may go broke this time. St. Palin isn't running, so he's still on that Dominionist jag, they are Christian Nationalists.

The Catholics I know don't go for the Rapture, either. That's a major fundie thing, their GetOutOfHellFree card. They have books about how awful the Earth is gonna be when the Righteous (them) are removed and Satan gets to play. For them, Obama is the anti-Christ.

Ain't it something that the Randians and Satanists are well linked, but they still run around at Tea Party rallies and proclaim their godliness. I've been arguing with these nutjobs for years. This country's gone crazy.

has been going right. Catholic priests have lost what our church use to be about. The nuns haven't lost it. Helping the poor was Jesus way. I don't think he would like what is going on now. The catholic church is losing people because they have lost their way by getting involved in politics.

Jesus addresses the corrupting influence of money more than any other single topic. He never mentions homosexuality.

And that's before you get to Isaiah.

Perhaps, like many people, they gave up reading the Bible somewhere in the middle of Leviticus.

Weary indeed. Just as I am weary of the whole shitsack of wingnuts, teabaggers and hatemongers that populate the Republican Party.

And I bet that his opposition of Romney has more to do with this bigotry than his "principles."

So much for religious tolerance and the teachings of Christianity. I personally don't like Mormons, but I don't go around screaming anti-Mormon propaganda. The people referenced from that site are false prophets of their own making.
