things god was blamed for, they'll figure
it out eventually. Always remember, god
is never the first answer for any question,
it's always the very last answer. We're
hardly close to the point where we're
that desperate yet.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Ben Carson, making sure LBGT votes for Democrats.

Quote:
"For thousands of years, mankind has known what a man is and what a woman is," Carson said to applause Tuesday at the Florida delegation breakfast near the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. "And now all of a sudden we don't know anymore. Now, is that the height of absurdity? Because today you feel like a woman, even though everything about you genetically says that you're a man or vice versa?"

"Wouldn't that be the same as if you woke up tomorrow morning after seeing a movie about Afghanistan or reading some books and said, 'You know what? I'm Afghanistan. I know I don't look that way. My ancestors came from Sweden, or something, I don't know. But I really am. And if you say I'm not, (then) you're racist,'" the former presidential candidate continued.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Who ended up winning that war and who ended up clobbered?


That's the worst argument for God I've seen in a long time. It's almost obscene it's crassness.

Because LBGT is even going to consider going off the Democrat reservation? Looks to me like the guy made a factual statement instead of bowing to the fantasy in some people's minds that you can change your gender because you "feel" or "identify" a certain way.

But hey hey lets see how the Democrats reach out to NRA members at their convention, shall we?
The President is a fink.

GOP is a big-tent party where many ideas are welcome.

Hmm, Looks like the tent isn't big enough for LGBT

There is no need for the Dems to reach out to the 5 million members of the NRA. That'd be a waste of time. They will always cling to their guns and their religion cause they have nothing else going for them...

You know how it is. If they don't demean and clobber every minority, they'd cry "discrimination."

What one has to wonder about, is how deep the GOP death-wish runs. In a year where the Democrats put up a candidate with huge negatives and truckloads of skeletons in the closet, they pick a candidate with even bigger negatives and at least as many skeletons.

it'd actually move the gun debate forward if the Democrats could work with some elements of the NRA. Maybe the 'R' part, perhaps.
