My Senators' response to Obama's EO

[mdmayo]

How about if you don't want to read it, you don't have to. There is nothing religious about pointing to a chapter and verse in a book that I'm well aware the person who I was talking to reads. If you don't like it and feel I broke an INGO rule, feel free to report my post. It's the triangle symbol with the "!"

What about, no. I often find things you post relevant, entertaining and informative. I do not however, find a Biblical quotation relevant to the discussion. And, when you type things into a forum that we all subscribe to, it isn't private ( i.e. between you and one other). That sir, is what private messaging is for...

I'm glad not everyone is as intolerant as those bible-reading-bigots.

Well thanks, I appreciate the sentiments. If you read his post, it is relevant. How about this:

Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York quoted this verse and said: I wish you were hot or cold but you are neither. So because you are lukewarm, I will spit you out of my mouth.

It's about picking a side, not straddling the fence and not meant for it's religious purpose but for the purpose of Todd Young picking a side on the 2A. There are others on here who would get the reference so I don't mind throwing it on there. I don't do private message unless I'm in the classifieds. I also don't get offended by what other people think or say. I guess I expect that from others, clearly not always the case.

LOL. I'd rep you again too but it hasn't been 737 days since I last hit you up.

donelley doesnt care what the people want, he says what he needs to get elected, then is a rubber stamp for the left. This is every democrat, and the republicans wont learn from it. stupid. they control the money, it can only get worse.

I got him for you because I think I've got to rep 789876 more people before I can rep you again too.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, my sides hurt.

And I think the rep system got stingier. Or I'm just playing faves with my rep recipients. I seem to run into the "must spread it around" song and dance a lot these days.

Lol, the rep system is anorexic these days! The sentiment is enough. Thanks

How about we keep religion completely out of this discussion? It is both against INGO policy and has no place in government, whether one is a believer or not of any particular faith.

Lighten up Francis.

Donnelly needs to go

"people" were dumb enough to elect him while rejecting Obama at the same Election just like that McCaskill in Missouri.

DUDE. Tell me about it. I just moved here in June from Missouri. Lol. I can't believe she got reelected.

As an agnostic, I really gotta ask. Does it really matter? If he thinks the words fit the situation why can't he reference them? Sheesh! Not every reference to a religious text is proselytizing.

Don't call me Francis...

Seriously, It's far less Bucks' quotation than the general religious overtones where religion and government are concerned. I appreciate the relevancy of the particular passages quoted, though I still prefer a general freedom of and from religion in political conversation. It muddies the waters for many, perhaps myself more than others /shrug.

Jamil, your point is also well taken. Relevant was poor word choice, I should have said necessary. I apologise if my request/opinion offended any intolerant bible-reading-bigots, other than myself.

Any other conversational preferences you have that everyone needs to know about? I'd hate to go against your preference.
