  • I agree my friend. However, one of the biggest issues our country faces today is the idea of where our inherent rights come from. So, for religious people this causes great concern when it comes to atheist ideology. I don’t believe most of my religious bretheren have too much animosity towards those without faith out of mere prejudice, but many on the atheist side will not even compromise on the issue of natures law or god (lower case on purpose). I believe this is where most of our conflict lies and I believe if we were to have this debate those of us who believe and those of us who don’t will find much more areas in common and much less in conflict.

  • Hey Minerva111, This is the results from the vote to allow women equal rights to vote: The key vote came on June 4, 1919, when the Senate approved the amendment by 56 to 25 after four hours of debate, during which Democratic Senators opposed to the amendment filibustered to prevent a roll call until their absent Senators could be protected by pairs. The Ayes included 36 (82%) Republicans and 20 (54%) Democrats. The Nays comprised 8 (18%) Republicans and 17 (46%) Democrats. It was ratified by sufficient states in 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment, which prohibited state or federal sex-based restrictions on voting.[58]

    It seems the Republicans made up the majority of those who were in favor of.

    You also might want to remember it was Woodrow Wilson in the White House at the time; A DEMOCRAT.

  • Again that is your personal belief and I welcome it because I think it makes me honestly, and I enphasize HONESTLY, question my own belief. But that doesn’t mean we as Christians need to shut up about what we believe because we believe that is where humanity comes from. Now you don’t have to agree and I’m ok with that, but the truth is our founders by far did and they gave us the freest nation the world has ever seen so it only makes sense to at least honestly look at what they did and why they felt a creator was so important.

  • I’m sorry Johnny but public square is public square. Secularism as you put is an idealogical belief I don’t care what people say it is and we are FREE to voice are belief anyway we choose in the public square. Further more voicing ones own religious belief is personal and is not forcing anybody to choose anything. We have gotten so far off the rales in this country that we view eveything as someone pushing something on us. The reason because we are becoming more and more of a socialist country and they only way for socialism to work is for everyone to ascribe to it. Personal religious belief doesn’t work the same way, but because we are so misguided we think just because someone wants to say in public that in tern means we have to agree; well I’m sorry no we don’t and until there is some congressman presenting a bill on the floor for a national religion shut the hell up about seperation of church and state because clearly you have no idea what it means.

  • Okie, you are correct. The reason they want us to attack is because now we have lost the support of the UN and Nato. They no longer back our way of life and Iran knows it. If we attack another country now like we did in 2003 against Iraq the world will turn on us and Iran knows they will be given the backing of the UN against us.

  • I must say to any and all of my fellow service men, it is the “and DOMESTIC” part of my oath that now keeps me up at night.

  • Yes ghost I mostly agree, but the issue with her stepping down wasn’t because it became hard or difficult for her it was the fact that she wasn’t going to be able to carry out her task as governor and then she was going to have to pass the cost onto the tax payer. So either way she wasn’t going to be able to continue to act as a governor, so instead of not doing her job on the tax payer dime she stepped aside and like it or not allowed her state to continue to have a voice in our Republic.

    In reply to OlefromMN.

    Not entirely correct. It is authorized but that doesn’t mean that it has to exist within the confines of the federal govt. If We the People authorize Congress to remove it it can be done. The Constitution just allows it to be provided by the federal govt.

    He voted against the government beurocrats making up the ROEs of soldiers on the ground and was trying to promote that generals should be the ones to make the decision of what ROE the soldiers should be required to uphold. As a soldier I completely agree with this decision of Mr. Paul.

  • @JZS
    Try Law of Gravity; not Theory. Secondly there are in fact many scientist who dispute how the actual LAW works. Meaning there isn’t consent within all the scientific fields to say how gravity actually binds one object of matter to another. The problem with Evolution is that the scientific community hasn’t allowed for the same critique. They Evolution is how it is now all we have to do is find the evidence to prove it, which even at Darwins time couldn’t do. Even Darwin himself recognized this and wrote about it in The origin of species.
