Religious test

[BT]

Bob Jones University is selected for much more specific reasons and I'd suggest you think about why that is, as opposed to acting in such a defensive and personal manner.

What is the enrollment of Bob Jones University? Is it the students the pols are after or is it fundamentalist Christians who may or may not agree with the policies of BJU.

Seems to me it would be the larger group, and it seems to me the BJU tangent is just a masked effort to demonize the larger group.

Just because Dobson is being judgmental does not give half the posters in this forum to be judgmental in a different direction.

BTW what Sirs what referring to was the tendency of some politicians to alter their cadence when speaking to black churches.

Can i have an amen?

BJU is a great place to go to speak if you want to influence that segment of the voters.
I went to a Pentecostal church for a while.  "Dr. Dobson says..."  "Pat Robertson says..." I think people in the congregation thought of them as authorities, and if it was OK with those men, it was OK.  If you want those votes, you need to have their approval.  That is what I meant.

Lanya: "If you want those votes, you need to have their approval."

Isn't this trying to stereotype as well? After all, I am proudly a member of what is typically called the "Religious Right" and I place those people's opinions no more valid than some others.

So, then you're also saying that many African Americans will say "Jessie Jackson says...", "Al Sharpton says...", and that people in the African American "congregation" who think of them as authorities, and conclude if its ok with those men, it's OK.  If you want the African American vote you need their approval?

It's the same thing Lanya.  Are you giving prescious little ability for the African American community, a MUCH bigger congregation than BJU, to think for themselves?  I realize there are many autobons who will just look to some "authority figure" and do anything they say, but what you're trying to lay claim to with Dobson and his supposed power over the GOP, is no different than Jackson's or Sharpton's power over the Democrat party

[Xavier_Onassis]

Are you pulling the same dren in implying that Dobson runs the GOP, kinda like Republicans want women to die of Cancer, because some don't believe a medication should be made mandatory??
===============================================================

Is it not true that if the medication is not taken by all that more women will die?

It hardly matters whether some Republicans want them dead or not.

If more die, then it will be as a consequence of this phoney crap about personal invasions of privacy.

If you want to take a USEFUL stand on behalf of individual rights, you should come out against the National ID that they put into the "Patriot" Act.

Is it not true that if the medication is not taken by all that more women will die?

Well, you can put a huge dent in the death rate by outlawing all fast foods and banning cars. Probably more than making this vaccine mandatory will do.

Why don't we go for the "big hits" first?

Besides, this would be the first time that a vaccine has been made mandatory for a desease that cannot be contracted via casual contact.

My friends, we have a march to finish. I will be reintroducing the Count Every Vote Act, to ensure that every voter is given the opportunity to vote, that every vote is counted, and each voter is given the chance to verify his or her vote before it is cast and made permanent.
We have to stay awake. We have a march to finish. On this Lord's day, let us say with one voice the words of James Cleveland's great freedom hymn, "I don't feel no ways tired/I come too far from where I started from/Nobody told me that the road would be easy/I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me."

And we know -- we know -- we know, if we finish this march, what awaits us? St. Paul told us, in the letter to the Galatians, "Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due seasons we shall reap, if we do not lose heart."

Try to find this on a video , it is kinda like myself quoteing a Robert Burns Poem and attempting the brouge, it is hilarious , but it isn't really mocking anyone.

Is it not true that if the medication is not taken by all that more women will die?

Is it not true that there are other means of not getting this specific form of cancer that this specific medication is targeting?  Is it not true that this form of cancer is not caused by incidental contact? 

It hardly matters whether some Republicans want them dead or not.  If more die, then it will be as a consequence of this phoney crap about personal invasions of privacy.

No, it'll be as a consequence of poor choices, including not taking said medication.  And strangely Republicans will have nothing to do with those choices

If you want to take a USEFUL stand on behalf of individual rights, you should come out against the National ID that they put into the "Patriot" Act.

Been there, done that

This is not necessacerily so , I would be pleased to take this vaccine myself , and I would reccomend it to anyone based on what I know about it , I might be wrong and this might turn out to be like tholitmide but I trust the FDA and the big pharmacy companys enough that I wouldn't mind the risk.

But I resist the idea that it must be manditory .

In this case we already had a foolproof , safe and certain method for preventing the transmission of this disease, how would ou feel about makeing that manditory?

May we say with a straight face that proponents of free love want women to die of cancer?

Patch 'boosts women's sex drive'
Women may soon be able to use a stick-on patch to boost their sex drive.
The patch is worn on the stomach for two weeks at a time and delivers the hormone testosterone, which has been linked to female sexual desire.

A trial involving 562 women who had had hysterectomies found the patch led to a 74% increase in satisfying sex.

Manufacturers Procter & Gamble are hoping to launch the patch in the US shortly and in the UK within the next two years.

Now THAT should be manditory.
