Random Politics & Religion #09

The family member shouldn't be celebrated and rewarded for being a member of a killer's family either.

I shouldn't have to tell people that my claim to fame is because my son shot up a bunch of gay people in a nightclub, and that's the only reason why I'm at a Clinton rally.

Either way, like I said before, the Republican's message on this point was for religious freedom. Not against gay rights.

That's easy.

By not glorifying it.

Not to say to ignore it, but don't celebrate it or profit from it.

Let's try this one more time.

RNC 2016 Platform!

Basically, the point is, the 2016 RNC Platform pretty much spells out "no gay marriage and it's okay to discriminate and deny gay couples the right to adopt."

Which is about as much of a slap in the face as you can get without actually assaulting them.

Well thanks for that...not sure why it liked your tags but not mine.

Oh well.

Where do you see this?

Cause I don't.

Foremost among those institutions is the American family. It is the foundation of civil society, and the cornerstone of the family is natural marriage, the union of one man and one woman...Our laws and our government’s regulations should recognize marriage as the union of one man and one woman and actively promote married family life as the basis of a stable and prosperous society. For that reason, as explained elsewhere in this platform, we do not accept the Supreme Court’s redefinition of marriage and we urge its reversal, whether through judicial reconsideration or a constitutional amendment returning control over marriage to the states. We oppose government discrimination against businesses or entities which decline to sell items or services to individuals for activities that go against their religious views about such activities...Families formed or enlarged by adoption strengthen our communities and ennoble our nation. Private entities which facilitate adoptions enrich our communities. We support measures such as the First Amendment Defense Act to ensure these entities do not face government discrimination because of their views on marriage and family.

He certainly is not against them.

Him personally or his company?

Because they aren't offering free stuff, like the democrat/liberals are.

They are also not glorifying shootings while completely ignoring real facts, like there are much more "black vs. black" killings than anything else.

Because they aren't making promises on things that they will later ignore, like strengthening civil rights or abolishing racism (that was Obama's platform, was it not?).

There are many reasons why Hispanics and African Americans aren't all going towards Republicans, and messages are a major part of it.

I tried to like Larry Wilmore's show. I really did. I mean, he wasn't that great of a contributor on the Daily Show, nor was he that funny.

But there was something about some of his content that seemed to make it almost worth watching. Almost. But then as I watched more of his show, he only ever really had the same people on during the panel discussion of his show, and 1 white person. And that 1 white guy always seemed to be filtered out, or his contribution to the discussion washed out. And they only ever gave him camera time when he disagreed on something. Otherwise he agreed, and everyone else had screen time to talk about why they agreed (and they all had pretty much the same reason to agree)

Eventually (like 5 episodes in), it got really tiring to watch. I tried watching the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, and he's kind of got that same tired delivery for what should be an explosive punch line. Like the energy just isn't there.

Page 31 is where the "family" nonsense starts.

Yes, minorities want free stuff. So do whites. Businesses. Old people. Military. Politicians and on and on. Everyone wants to suck on that free tete but lets pretend like minorities are the only one under the cow.

You can't shake the racist ideology that white is right and everyone else is just a hanger on and so long as that is practice then we'll have landslide support for Democrats.

That's pretty funny KN because about 5 minutes ago you were unaware that's a part of the platform now you're just all. "So?" It's pretty obvious!

@ Ramy:

To expand, you still haven't proven that Republicans are attacking gay people. All you have shown is that Republicans have Christian values.

And yet, the liberals/democrats are pandering free stuff only to the minorities.

Or are you going to deny that?

How in the hell....

Wait, did you just call me racist because I support Republicans?

Just like I thought, you are another liberal hack like the rest of them. I was hoping that you, at the very least, weren't just another mouthpiece for the DNC....

structural poverty, disenfranchisement, racist policing

Isn't there something in Christianity about adultery? Something that Republicans are willing to readily ignore but not gay marriage eh?
