Let's just say we all agree we're all for Ethical, Moral, Leftist-ish things... |
|
Doesn't matter if you're a Catholic motivated by Dorothy Day, or a Fundamentalist motivated by William Jennings Bryan or John Brown....
Or if you're an Atheist motivated by Carl Sagan or Richard Dawkins...
We all want the best for us all - our country, our planet and our species.

the reverse is also true:
it does not matter if the right wing is motivated by Jerry Falwell, or Ayn Rand, they are still selfish scum.

9. While I don't wish to paint with a broad brush, |
|
I associate creationists and proponents of intelligent design with bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.
MOST of the creationist believing clergy are primarily interested in manipulating others into acceptance of strict dogma and a belief system.

11. Ah but William Jennings Bryan was more than just the Scopes Trial |
|
He had two major flaws: Creationism and Prohibition
Howwever, beyond that he was the lbieral's liberal, a socialist, a women's rights and sufferage advocate, a minority rights advocate...
I like Clarence Darrow too.. but there was more to Bryan than Scopes

"Having behind us the producing masses of this nation and the world, supported by the commercial interests, the laboring interests and the toilers everywhere, we will answer their demand for a gold standard by saying to them: You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold."

but for me that is beside the point here in R/T. I come here to discuss all aspects of religion and theology. I hope most DUers agree with a progressive agenda, but they don't get a pass on their beliefs because of it.
