It’s such pure Roy Moore-ism (and Trumpism) - having a strong, bigoted opinion based on totally wrong information that a grade-school education should have cleared up. (That, somehow, no one ever corrected, because they live in a bubble.)
Things we take for granted like… reality. And they “seem” so because they demonstrably are.
No, I assume they’re ignorant bigots trying to rule based on something other than consensus reality. Which they demonstrably are.
The spokesman eventually recovered, “This doesn’t look like anything to me,” he added, finally, before returning to his routine actions.
Except that the Moore voters are the worst Southern stereotypes, made flesh.
stupid public school education, which probably failed to teach you how swearing in on the bible, like “in god we trust”, etc. is proof that we were founded as a “christian nation”
Agree - not sure how many know Mr. Tapper is Jewish. I thought the smirk as he looked down at the end spoke volumes. He didn’t take the bait, said “Thank you, sir” and moved on. Class act, that guy.
Here’s what Jesus has to say about oaths (Mathew chapter 5):
“33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.”
If one had to explain Doug Jones’s win in a sentence it’d be this: The Republican base voted like Alabama was holding an off-year special election, while African-Americans turned out like control of the White House was on the line. On Tuesday, Jones won nearly as many votes in Jefferson County (home to Birmingham) as Hillary Clinton did in 2016. And all across the Black Belt — the rural region known for its dark, fertile soil and large African-American population — voters turned out in aberrantly high numbers. This level of civic participation is remarkable, given all the forms of voter suppression that black Alabamians face. Without such turnout, Jones’s win would have been impossible. The vast majority of white voters in Alabama preferred a theocratic alleged ephebophile to a Democrat.
Came here to mention that. He flung it out there like it was some kind of sick burn. A Christian (as this fellow no doubt claims to be) using “Merry Christmas” as an insult is really pathetic.
I’m glad you posted this. If you’re an atheist you can Affirm you are telling the truth or that you are supporting the Constitution. I use Affirmation when I testify in court.
This Christian Shari’a law is really bumming me out.
