I would probably accept this claim; but only if stupid people didn't reproduce at a much higher rate
Reissuing the Goldwater info and thoughts here:
If this was the conservative party today (Goldwater conservative), they would own our country's governance. Instead, they have marginalized themselves and are making their place incompatible with the future. Appealing to a smaller and smaller audience.
Without racism on their side, they'd be reduced to insignificance in today's body politic already.
...and the right wants to keep going down that road apparently. They'll end up not only being unable to win the presidency, but they'll also end up losing congress. May not right away, but it's in the near future, they'll lose seats this next election.
Just think when they introduce computerized, getting rid of gerrymandered, voting districts. More loss for the right.
The writing is on the wall and you all are ignoring it.

Thank you for being so smart.
Thank you for informing us folk of our stupid.
Thank God for creating you to help us.
You win.
No reply needed.
I disagree. John the Baptist while in his mother's womb had the Holy Spirit upon him. He rejoiced in the womb as Mary met Martha. David says in Psalm 139 that he was knit while in his mother's womb, and that he was fearfully and wonderfully made.
Don't forget that the prophet Jeremiah prophesied that they would only be in Babylon for 70 yrs and then would return to their homeland. The Babylonian Captivity is only God holding them to the covenant he made with them in Moses' day. The deal was serve me and I will bless you and the land. Deny me and you can't live in this land. Now God didn't kick them out right away. It took 100s of yrs for his wrath to say, "that is enough". Even though they sinned many centuries, God only made them stay in Babylon for 70 yrs. This shows that God is very gracious and compassionate. In Babylon many of the Jews repented and it was glorious to see how through the decree of Cyrus 539bc they were able to return.
Fairy tale
SPIRIT...they NEVER refer to them as living being. Not once, anywhere in the bible. It is only after receiving the "breath of life" that they are deemed a living human.

The Republican party made a deal with the devil years ago to get the southern states. . They sold out to corporate america, the religious right, and the NRA. Now they will reap what they sowed. That's getting Donald Trump as your front runner possibly the most inept person ever to lead in polling at this stage. It just goes to show what kind of a person who is drawn to the party. It is not pretty.
I am not ignoring it and if that is what you see in my posts you are a blind liberal.
Goat trying to explain to someone that they don't know everything? Pot meet facking kettle man. You are the king of know it all.
LOL if only I could be the man you are, Goat. I may know enough to draw unemployment and try and sound smart on the interwebz.
“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
If they want to honor the life o Jesus this is the bible they ought to be using: Jefferson Bible It only contains the story of his life. Which is what the christian right ignores and instead concentrates on the words of others before the life of Jesus. imho
Just remember, the christians I'm knocking aren't about how Jesus lived his life. It's about using the bible as a lever for them to guide people to their political ideas. Hardly Jesus.
Why are you replying to me with that crap?
I dont give a phunk what you think. Go crawl back into the whole that birthed you so that someone can abort you...
God forgive me... for starting this thread.
You're the kind of guy who would be for slavery because it was the,"law of the land". Sometimes laws are unjust and need to be changed. What is best for the woman is immaterial if the baby inside of her is a person. If it is then this child has the same rights as you and me. As Americans we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The baby can't speak for itself but I sure will, "I don't want to die" is what the baby says.
The Holy Spirit was inside of John the Baptist while he was in his mother's womb. This is my point.
Your slavery comment is stupid and proves you don't have the least idea what I am talking about. Or you're just an asshole.
A fetus isn't a person, legally. Never has been. Ever. Even the ancient rabbis, who opposed abortion on the grounds a fetus was made in the image of God, still recognized someone was not a person until they were born. That is why they allowed abortions if the mother was in danger.
You have angered the AOTF dieties (choose whichever you prefer) and they demand a sacrifice. You know what penitence you must now pay forth in order to appease them.
Sound like an irrational psychopath to me. Worship me or I'll torture you.. what a jerk.
Get drunk.
Drive.
Run over and kill a pregnant woman.
See if you charged with one death or two.
This right here is the difference between eastern and western culture and the way it views knowledge. The west and it's main religion view knowledge as somehow wrong, while the east and it's main religion appreciates it. The goal of western religions is ignorance, (leap of faith) while the goal of Eastern religions (complete enlightenment) is knowledge of everything. And, though neither Phish, nor I are religious, the cultural norms have seeped into our perspectives. I appreciate knowledge, Phish appreciates ignorance. He is so very American in his perspective. I credit my Mother, and blame his ..
You'll be charged with two deaths in most states (38, I think), but that's not because a fetus enjoys full legal personhood. If it did, you'd be charged with both deaths in all states, and we wouldn't need separate feticide laws to make it happen.
...and he was also outside the womb, a living breathing being.
You fail to understand the book you use.
You want to preach Jesus life, use Jefferson's book, you want to preach the bullshit that lets you tell people how to live from your political views, not only are you a failed christian far from the path of Christ, but you're an idiot as well. (which I already knew from the IndyStar forums).
You need to leave your vocation, you are corrupting its teachings.

The baby has rights, men have rights, but the women has none. I get it. Chattel.
Why? You christian and it makes you squirm?
It should.
I would be curious on your post count of whines versus substance.

Not that you whiny bitches are capable of staying on subject, but Barry won me over. I was raised a true liberal at IU, and wore me freak flag proudly when I went to U of AZ to get my masters in 1979. When I graduated, I moved to Phoenix, so I got to know the Goldwater estate like everyone else in town. Not ostentatious, but a view that was killer. What BG had that no one else did was a radio tower on his property that he let his constituents use to talk to their kids in Vietnam. He used his own $ for that, not just something that he claimed credit for while we all paid for it. I changed my mind about Barry once I knew that.
Of course that is also around the time that I quit smoking pot, so maybe the fog was lifted.
