Re: Racy photos?
I agree with you. But you are not a national evangelical leader making moral pronouncements. You are not a national leader of the religious right condemning sexuality of millions of people.
For a man in his position to have taken and not made sure no one could access, "racy" pictures of his wife, it is an indiscretion, a lack of good judgement.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

This guy claims he is not a racist too
The facts and his own words show otherwise. Would you call him "not a racist"?
”I’m Not Racist’: City Councilman Tells Constituent He Doesn’t Believe In Her Family’s Interracial Marriage
quote:
"I'm not racist," City Councilman Jim Cleveland says. "But I do not believe in interracial marriage. And that's the end of that story."
Oh and it is because he is a christian.
quote:
“I’m a Christian and my Christian beliefs are you don’t do interracial marriage. That’s the way I was brought up and that’s the way I believe,” Hoschton City Councilman Jim Cleveland proudly admitted. He also said it makes his "blood boil" when he sees Black and white people together.
Nice religion you got there.
What is it about blacks and whites together that makes his blood boil? Does he think black people are less than human? I don't understand the concept and reasoning, could you explain it to me?

The Falwell scandal may get ugly quickly
People in public positions must know that keeping things secret only lasts so long. This article shows how the Falwell empire is no inextricably linked to donnie. This is seemingly to the detriment of the Falwell empire. I am quite certain a number of investigative journalists and legal authorities are asking lots of questions today.
Inside the Falwell, Cohen, Granda ”Totally Normal Nothing to See Here’ Den of Iniquity
I think it is too early to accurately speculate on what the whole scandal is behind the scenes but it ain't gonna be pretty. But I am sure going to enjoy it.

A lower form of life, probably somewhere between monkey and man over which they had dominion.
And that dominion included extreme sexual abuse. Slaves, male and female, were prone to sexual terror from an extremely young age. Buck breaking was commonly used. This was the rape of a black man by the owner so the owner could show dominance. It was a very public thing. Girls were raped form a very early age. There was no recourse. The slaves were property. Owners could do what ever they wanted with their property. Constant dehumanization is a key to maintaining a slave regime.

Start there. Research rape in slavery and research breaking the buck.
Another good source is

Alas, it is not available for general public. I have wrote the author to try to get full text.

Re: Former Federal Prosecutors on Obstruction
The same reason anti-Semite evangelicals support Israel. They think they are hastening the return of that jesus dude. Armageddon is something they get all hard and wet about because they know that they are one of the just that will get to go to their heaven fantasy.

Re: Former Federal Prosecutors on Obstruction
Humans may well be arrogant in their presumption of an ancient mythos being true, but to me it is equally arrogant to factually sit on a dust speck of a planet (the only place we have ever known) and using math and measurable instruments postulate and essentially create a universe and a possible multiverse from our limited pea brains and our limited geographical vantage point. Just saying
The arrogance is yours thinking we are special. There is no arrogance in using data and facts to try to understand the universe. That position is ludicrous.

Now I am a news source? Cool.
You should familiarize yourself with your fellow travelers. If you don't agree with them you will also be pushed aside when they come to power.

LOL. Don't confuse me with the facts my mind is made up, seems to be your mantra.

Re: Racist actions?
Neither do undocumented immigrants. They actual contribute more financially than they take out of the system. Read the data. Know what you are talking about before you spout off crap.
Oh wait that's right you don't believe facts and data. Never mind.

Your sources conflate "illegal" aliens with asylum seekers. That is untrue and a lie, but you have no problem with that. Your hypocrisy and dishonesty is overwhelming.

Re: This guy claims he is not a racist too
Of course they do. Those people are not true christians. I would have figured you knew that.
Don't get me started on missionaries. They are some of the most vile people in the history of mankind. To this day they continue to destroy countries, cultures, communities, families and individuals.
